This one is for the wife

[Junkie]

Hey all. Here is my next build. I am very fortunate to have a dope a*s wife that never, ever complains about me spending money on my projects. With that being said, she has been asking me to build her a jeep for awhile. She saw a Scrambler one day and said "that's what I want". I actually bought a chassis from a guy upgrading to a TDK frame with TJ suspension, Rubicon axles and an LS. The chassis is super clean with a stock 4.2, auto, dana 30, 86' Dana 44 (sweet) 4.11gears, 33" tires,20 gal tank, P/S, etc. The plan was to buy a tub locally from a guy on FB but I hesitated and missed out. I put a request out in the wanted section here and got some responses. A long time member CJ7PILOT gave me great deal on a roller from Cali. Here are some pics from before delivery.

Here are some shots after delivery. Then after an hour wash and 6.5 hours of compounding and polishing. She cleaned up nice. I was very fortunate to score a half cab top and bulk head of FB 2 days after delivery.

Looks like a great starting point. Be careful telling the wife that you’re building it for her, I’ve done that and, unfortunately, she believes it occasionally. It can become an issue.

She def made me promise it was hers prior to buying. Its all good tho. I get to work on it plus sneak some parts for me in on her orders.

Pulled the dash, wiring and heater. Ordered all new switches, cables, bezels, knobs, gauge cover, lamps, etc to rebuild the dash. Ordering up a painless kit and jeep air setup so we can have AC for hot summers here in Florida. Also, a rebuilt column is on the way. Next, off to sandblasting for the interior.
