    So after some very long concideration.
    I hav decided to not cut up my wrangler.
    With it being part of the last run of the TJ I am keeping fairly factory.
    It will get a new belly pan from claton offroad.
    A 2.5" lift and some better fenders found a good set of DIY flat front and rear.


    The truggie will be built!
    I am going to use all the part I have amassed already to build a DAKOTA.
    The wrangler is a great rig but space is an issue.
    The dakota space cad has better space in the front seats.
    A V8 that once it gives up a HEMI will fit....
    I have thought of building one of these for some time.
    With them being a larger of the mid size trucks they realy are just right.
    I am looking to use a quad cab truck bed to move the wheel well for the axle shift to get the wheel base to where I want it.
    I would be ok with 108" but 113" is a bit longer than I want for the places we will take this.
    I will do an exo cage with some tude work inside for the seat and harnesses.
    Front and rear bumpers will be fabed and will tie into the cage and fender work.
    Will shorten the back portion of the bed as well to keep the departure angles steep so in the 70* plus.
    I have a supplier for a winch w/ synthetic rope. Xrc for 400.
    I have a 4:1 teraflex T-case for this thing to get started with.
    At a much lafer time I might do a 231 dubbler to an Atlas.
    But that will be much later and only if realy needed.
    Ford axles that I have w/radius arms still there so these will get a joony joint on the end if the angles will work right if not build them to be what is needed as there is not many after market suppliers for them.
    The 4.7l v8 is a good start. Most likely will be a auto trans as the manual is very tough to find.
    As I stated earlier once that gives up a hemi will find its way in there.
    My maxxis 37' tell they wear out....who knows what set after that.
    Wheels will be 16"steels if I deem bead locks to be nesisary then Staun internals will be the way to go. They give dual locks as they are from the inside.
    I have a hydro boost box and pump for this set up as well. At this point the box has plugs and the ram will come as demed nesisary.
    Hysteer will be there along with a selectable locker.
    4.88's are present already. Am not oppossed to 5.13' s at a later time if needed.
    I think the auto trans and v8 will be fine w/37's
    I will be shooting for low spung yet tons of wheel travel.
    I have a set of 10" travel fab tech coil overs and a set of 12" king coil overs.
    I think these may get sold for some ORI struts so they can lay 8n next to the frame to allow for the cantilever to work.
    Its a bit more work but 3:1 with a set of 12" travel struts will give 36" of travel.
    My friands in saint george built the first cantilever moon buggie so I have assistance in the design work.
    This thing will be keep street legal for road travel from trail to trail but any long distance will be trailered.

    Ok let the questions and suck begin.

    Just joking around about the color, seems it's the ONLY thing you haven't thought of!

    Multi- the J10s are cool but not what I want as a buklder.
    If I did I would go get the j4000 my buddy has. Its the 3/4 ton he put a 60 up front as it has an olds 455 in it. To big and heavy.

    Nice. I was just throwing it out there. I was looking into for more of a buggy build but I dont know much about fabbing or getting into the buggy life other than you need a trailer.

    Right.
    The J series trucks are way cool I had a 77 J10 with the 401 v8 and quadra trac with low range.
    It was a honcho with blue levi denim interior.
    That thing would just go!
    Got rid of it when fuel want from .92 a gallon to near 2.00!
    9mpg was just to expencive.

    The J-series talk reminded me of a chef that has been on PBS recently, she has a sweet J20 that is frequently on the show, she even cooks on the flatbed.

    I must say I mis the J10 I had.
    Was a 77 Hancho w/blue levi denim interior 401v8 quadra track w/low range box.
    That thing would go just about where ever I pointed it.
