Well I just wanted to post the final part of my grill modification. I added chrome inserts. It looks so awesome in person! Pictures just dont do it justice. Anyways its 1AM here and in 7 hours I'll be waking up to go work on the beast some more! Will post progress pics tomorrow in my swap thread. Wish me luck!

That looks awesome! What did you use to coat it? Looks like either plastidip or some type of aerosol bed liner?

Question: What did you paint your grille with? I like it and might steal the idea!

Walmart, rattle can, bed liner. I used a whole can. And I didn't prime it but I did rough sand the whole thing. And the chrome is door molding from the car section at walmart. I just cut 27 equal lengths

I like it! A lot! I might do it, the limited chrome grille on mine looks out of place...

Once I get my jeep back to the house and button everything up and driving it everyday I plan on painting thee flares and bumpers like this too

 

[bdons_crd]

I was thinking the same thing. The flares on mine are pretty swirly (I love the look of black, but I hate the maintenance) so I wanted to have the flares and maybe the bumpers professionally coated with bedliner. It's my wife's daily so that one really isnt up to me... Yet. I hope to get her a nicer car when the kids are a bit older and ill take the jeep. Keep the miles down on my truck.

I'm trying! Lol but I only get to go to the shop every now and then. Can you do me a favor? Measure your wheel base, from one wheel hub to another? I remember it being about 8 of my feet so it should be close to 100". And if someone else sees this first will you measure please? Thanks for the help!!!

Measured my 06 and its 104 1/4

Measured my father in laws 04 its 104 3/8

OK so I've changed the plans of how I'm going to accomplish the swap. Since I want a 350 and straight axles, why not just use an old Chevy frame right? But even a swb Chevy is too long at 130" so I was talking to my buddy who has a blazer frame and the wheelbase on it.... 106"!!! So he gave it to me! The front wheel will sit 2" further forward than the liberty's. My step-dad is going to sandblast it and then all I do is get axles under it and get the motor in it and just sit my body on it.

Anyways the tires will be changed lol

Spent some time in photoshop everything is to scale. 35" KM2s, sitting the body on the frame alone gave it tons of lift, then an additional 3" lift for the blazer frame. It seems tall but the floorboards will be at my waist. Pretty much at the top of the tires. It isn't THAT tall but it is tall lol

Promblem I can see is how are you gonna line up the v8 with the engine carparment and then get the wheels to line up in the wheel wells?

You figure out that and it should be a easy swap. Get the brakes done, throttle, steering crap and your golden for a trail rig

Looking good so far.... I swear there was another libby with a "frame swap"
