Got motivated and had a couple friends come over to move the frame inside the garage. Now I can mock up the rear springs and weld the hangers on. This will allow me to mock up the axle as well. With the cab off, I can box the middle portion of the frame too. Here’s a few more pictures. Sent...

This week I also scored a set of military Goodyear 37x12.5x16.5 set of tires and wheels for free. They are rollers but will work until I get 40s. I ended up trading work for the tires. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

So here’s an update so far. Klungly picked up a rear Dana 60 for me at a swap meet for $100. It also has 35 spline axle shafts. I’ve cut the perches and shock mounts. Looks like I will be able to use the perches again. The wheel was stuck so I removed the drum and found that the brakes were...

So I decided to create my own build thread instead of sharing one with my brother, RedBeard on the FrankenWillys thread. I acquired a 1952 Willys Truck from a buddy of mine that bought it as a project but decided it was too much work. It didn’t leave my trailer for about a month after he...

Went to Elbe Hills today. Last time I went it was the winter time and I ended up smashing my mirror and causing other damage. This time it was muddy. But it was still fun. Only thing I broke was this Smittybuilt grab handle. I almost ate shit when I tried to get into the Jeep and it decided to...

Picked up some rollers today for free. They are 37s with some ok tread so they will get me by until I get some 40s. Hopefully I can start this week on cleaning up the rear axle and getting it ready to install. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Just went to Moab for the first time a couple weeks ago and it’s really cool seeing obstacles that we did on your video. Great work! Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

This was the last day we would be in Moab but a few of us wanted to go to Top of the World. So we woke up at 3:30 in the morning and left for the trailhead. It’s an easy trail but it progressively gets harder. The view was beautiful. We got off the trail late because I had to tow the Willys...

The next day we took a break and hiked to the delicate arch. The hike sucked because I either had my four year old or my six year old on my shoulders. The group. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Day 3 was my favorite. We did the Trifecta. Poison Spider Mesa, Golden Spike, and Gold Bar Rim. It was jam packed full of action all day. Beginning of PSM. fiend doing the launch pad. Pictures never do this place justice on how steep it is. klungly making his way down one of many ledges...

Next day was followed by Fins and Things and then we decided to hit Hell’s Revenge since we were in the same area. It was a fun day. I hope to hit the escalator next time. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

First trail was Hurrah Pass and Jackson Hole. We were joined by fiend and his family. The country is so beautiful down there that we were all constantly snapping photos while driving which can be a little sketchy. It was a good day for the group. There were plenty of breaks but it was good to...

Just got back from my first trip to Moab. Drove the Jeep down and back. I averaged 14-17 mpg which was the best I had ever gotten. The Jeep did very well with every obstacle. I usually tried it a couple times and would engage my lockers after that if I needed to. My PSC reservoir would overflow...

It was certainly an adventure. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

That thing looks awesome! Thanks for all the help again. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

The next couple days we did Fins and Things, Hell’s Revenge, Poison Spider Mesa, Golden Spike and Gold Bar Rim. We left the Willys at home because it was probably a little much for the old Jeep. Towards the end of the trip we started talking about doing Top of the World. RedBeard (brother)...

Just finished up our trip to Moab. Many people asked me what vehicles we were taking and they would always smile when I mentioned the FrankenWillys. The next question they would ask is if we were trailering it. I would say no and the smile would turn into a look of shock. A 2000 mile road trip...

It was an awesome trail. I wish my brother’s Jeep would have made it to the end though. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
