Thanks for the comments guys .....
We hope to get more pics posted later today. the frame is extended now, and hope to cut the body off behind the doors and get it mounted back on the frame so we can sort of get an idea of what the truck style will look like with the extra 17" of bed area.

Thanks for the kind words...... That is our goal. We hope to have the Jeep there in primer, likely no interior no bed floor, no dash, ho hood, partial exhaust ..... you get the idea.
But we do plan on wheeling with as many different Jeepers as possible again this year then bring it home and finish it. Sorry to have to ask but what Jeep were you? what trail did we run ?
Thanks MB

What powerchip or stackable chips will you be adding??

I run a DTT trans and it holds 530 / 1003 ft lbs at the wheels fine. Its all in the build,shafts,servos and pressures ... and of course a ta converter that will not baloon out lol. Lots of trans options there tho.

" Cheap enough" ..... a quick calculation for you:
At $2 / quart assuming you do oil changes every three months it would only take approx 2500 years to pay for the Cummins engine swap with the $$ saved from the oil you were not having to purchase......
Just playing with you .
