(dropmouth) Awesome!

I think we are a lot more civilized on here than other forums, and i sure as heck ain't going to tell you how to do something, i wouldn't have a clue man!! Not to say i'm not mechanically inclined, but what your doing is over my head. I watch the Powerblock on Spike and some of the stuff they do on their 4x4 show just makes me scratch my head and ask "how did they figure that out?"

kb....yeah, but LOST is a good forum too. Just different. This is a unique build and waaaay past my abilities also. Not to mention the cost and even the time. Including parts collection and planning, this is a couple of years in the making. So I guess we are all in anticipation of the end result.

Eeeew! Chevy parts.

Hey you have to do what you have to do to convert from drums to disc brakes and have high steering on a 1/2 ton HP44.

Hahaha yeah I know, just couldn't resist about the Chevy stuff.

 

[kb0nly]

Holy Hell Man!!

That list and prices is insane, you must have a damn good job in this economy to afford that!!

PS: I tried to register for the LOST forum three times, each time i waited a month or so and never got the confirmation email, checked and double checked and the email address was correct and i don't have a spam filter blocking them. So i was never able to complete my registration. If anyone knows why send me a PM rather than hijack this awesome thread.

PM sent.

 

[Jeepin05]

That list is amazing, it must have taken quite the time to properly plan that out. Huge props as you've the first KJ that stood out when I first joined, and now it's just evolving into a beast.

 

[tjkj2002]

Holy Hell Man!!

That list was spread out over 2.5 years and I'm still buying parts.

 

[kb0nly]

Wow, your a patient man i tell ya...

 

[tjkj2002]

Wow, your a patient man i tell ya...

No I'm not,just this sort of thing is not cheap so I can't really afford to screw it up.

 

[kb0nly]

No I'm not,just this sort of thing is not cheap so I can't really afford to screw it up.

If it was me it would drive me nuts until it was complete. But you got one heck of a start, can't wait to see it all come together!

(popcorn)

 

[jnaut]

I kinda get attached to my vehicles,more so when I spend a butt load of time to build it the way I want it.

Imagine what you could build with $35,000,000? (bling)

 

[Ry' N Jen]

Holy Hell Man!!

That list and prices is insane, you must have a damn good job in this economy to afford that!!

It's all relative.
You get what you pay for!

I just ordered some stuff for my other car...
A blower, 5 speed manual gearbox, and six piston front callipers and disc brake rear conversion for my 1430 cc powered Mini engine.
That's expensive!

tjkj's KJ is definitely a 10 out of 10.

 

[riptricket]

Looks good, but I don't think I'll ever need a setup like that!

Still Great JOBS!!!

 

[rchung813]

Amazing setup and it seems like you put a lot of thought and thoroughness to ensure a complete and safe rig. The pictures you uploaded look great, it’s a teaser picture which reminds me when a movie release a few minutes clip of their highly anticipated summer blockbuster. I also like the color contrast of your vehicle – very unique. Your parts list also looks massive, as if you’re building a new Jeep from scratch.

Too bad I don’t have the know hows on where to begin to with an SFA swap. Keep up the great work and keep us all posted.

BTW, what’s the ETA on completion?

 

[tjkj2002]

You must be registered for see images

 

[NewJeepOwner]

Looks bad ass Tj ...

is the lift, etc custom fabricated?

 

[JeepJeepster]

My gosh, thats one massive tcase.

You all are making this SFA thing look easy.
