1971 J2000 build on Jeep JKU Frame

[Copper204]

Rear axle assembly and getting it under the vehicle. Vinny and JJ stepping over. Helping me out when they are in between jobs. Or waiting on parts . I try not to interrupt them. My daughter will come out and yell at her daddy. I am just a figure head. This business is ran by the girls and for the employees not me. It is just a way to keep me active and them employed. All about the customers and them. So I try not to mess them up.


















Sorry for so many photos. But I have several folks who also follow these pages from Instagram. And here we have a whole better platform..

And Stuka.. Yo so need to swing by…

I do.

I am just not to stop by places unannounced.

Assembled the rear axle and gears. Stupid phone deleted or operator- me did not save.. rghhhh The securing nuts had been cleaned, media blaster, polished and gun blued.

This project bay. Is a bloody mess

[Copper204]

Got the rear end all buttoned up. Then went through my Jeep storage room. Found a set of KMC Machette and Toyo Open Country 35’s. Needed to get it down so can reset lift. Will try to work on the front end tomorrow.

Wow, its so clean and shinny. Good work and cant wait to see it finished.

[Copper204]

Well now the chassis is a roller. Rolled it out of shop for some pictures. And to turn it around to start prepping for body and bed assembly. Also need to get the front end sorted out. Along with creating a hidden winch setup in the front. This truck is gonna be tall.












These are what are known as ball joint deletes. From American Iron.. Josh and Alyssa sent me a set. Beefier and almost unbreakable.



I am a Powertank dealer and refilled. So of course I would have purple custom units.

Keith my buddy at Anderson’s Auto Body working on the rust areas.

Got some time in between storms. Trying to get the rig together to get a couple of items figured out. Electrical and brakes and such. Also some steering.















Just a few pictures of what I was up too today. Needing to figure out a few things.

Looking good!

I'm just curious--are you planning to run the rhino grille and leave those tabs on the valence from the razor, or are you going to take them off, or reinstall the razor? Any way is cool I'm just curious which route you're going since it's primered with those on it still.

[Copper204]

Yes, running rhino.

Yes tabs will be deleted.

Still have tons of metal reworking

So glad the folks at Corbeau reached out too me. Told me they make custom seat mounts for our rigs. So ordered a set. Accidently sent me 2 drivers. But they will correct this issue tomorrow.





They sent me a D604 and D610. It should have been a D604 and D611…. Oh well

[Stuka]

I had no clue they made seat mounts for FSJs. We have plenty of people that come here and ask what mounts to use.

[Copper204]

I am here to help……lol

It is crazy the amount of daily emails and texts I get on this build.

And folks offering and me refusing their items.

Free stuff is never truly free.

Those massive wheels+tires with the little 5x5 bolt pattern gets me every time

[Copper204]

Well today even with rain. Powder coated called and I went. Brought home the bed …










Have to get tub to body man for some bed liner work…
