Jeep Restoration Journey: Bringing the Jurassic Park Dream to Life
Join me on an exciting journey as I embark on the restoration of my beloved 1997 Jeep Wrangler, transforming it into a screen-accurate replica of the iconic Jurassic Park Jeep. Purchased for just $2,000 years ago, this Jeep has served as my faithful daily driver, but now it's time for a major makeover. Follow along as I share my plans to overhaul its appearance, including repainting, adding screen-accurate decals, and swapping out various components to match the movie version. But it doesn't stop there - I'll also be diving into the mechanical aspects, considering engine rebuilds or swaps, upgrading the differential, and more. As a mechanical engineer with a passion for DIY projects, I'll be sharing every step of the process, from tearing down the Jeep to tackling each restoration challenge head-on. Whether you're a fellow Jeep enthusiast, a fan of the Jurassic Park franchise, or simply enjoy witnessing the transformation of a classic vehicle, this series promises to deliver excitement, challenges, and plenty of adventure.

I am very familiar with simple machining and cnc machining that is closer to 2 1/2 dimensional parts. By that I mean parts that are only really moving two of the axes at the same time, typically because the thickness of the part is constant. This is some experiments to get ...

    Jurassic Jeeps are always cool. A few thoughts. Unless the wiper cowl has been replaced, that would be a 1998 model as the 97 models had three separate vent slots in the cowl. It was the only year that did. The rear Dana 35 is plenty strong enough if you are going to keep fairly stock sized tires on it. I've been running 35 inch tires on my Dana 35 for 15 years now with no issues. Your frame would be the first area of concern gauging by the amount of rust on your bumpers and side bars. If that is good, then it would be worth saving and building that platform if you keep 4cyl engine. I've always heard that swapping to the 6cyl is fairly expensive and could be cheaper just to find a 6cyl Jeep with a good frame to start with. If you can find a Sahara Jeep with the green and tan seats, that would be ideal as well. Good luck on your journey. It sounds like it's going to be a fun time enjoying this build with your kids. Have a great day!

      This model has supported shaft and ball bearings for the rails. It is cost effective but one day I would like to upgrade it. It also has precision acme thread and anti-backlash nuts. I got a lot of my parts for this build from surplus places or from my university cleaning out storage. I was collecting parts for the build for about two years and then designed a cnc around those parts.

  • @jebusDsavior
    @jebusDsavior 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I am very curious how you built the spindle, I hate how all chinese spindles that are cheap are either requiring insane power phasing or doesn't go into low enough RPMs, so I wanted to make my own setup that sorta looks like yours, but I am wondering what bearings will do the job for as little runout as possible? I know you can get 150mm long collet shafts with near zero runout on amazon for 10$ so the question is basically where can one get bearings good enough for a spindle that dont cost a fortune? since the chinese spindles on ebay ironically aren't even worth fixing when the bearings break cuz it seems seperatly the bearings cost as much as they do already assembled in a spindle by someone in china :(

    • @tankchain3033
      @tankchain3033 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The spindle is from a Taig Mini Mill. It is a good starting point and accepts any ER16 collet. Since it is a complete unit you can avoid a lot of worry about the bearings alignment and loads from cutting being transferred to the motor. Since the Taig spindle assembly has a stepped pulley on it, I can select which ratio I would like to use from the motor to the spindle. The motor also has a speed controller on it. But even with the speed control you are limited in how fast or slow you can run the motor efficiently. With the step pulleys i can pick ratio which lets me run the motor efficiently, and still get very slow or very high spindle rpm. Another advantage is if the cutting bit is slowed down while cutting the belt can slip on the pulleys, or even break. It is much cheaper to replace a small v-belt than the spindle or motor.

    What motor did you use?

    • @tankchain3033
      @tankchain3033 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Gavin Luis D'Mello The stepper motors on the X, Y, and Z axis are 280 OzIn Hybrid stepper motors from Probotixs. The spindle motor is an AmpFlow E30-150 dc motor. One nice thing about the spindle motor is AmpFlow makes 3 versions of this motor that all have the same mounting dimensions and only slightly different length. This motor is the 1 HP version and the least expensive. But I can upgrade to a 2.3 HP or 3 HP spindle motor very easily.

  • @Mtaalas
    @Mtaalas 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Argh... i get heebie jeebies when you go poking around that spinning collet and those timing belts... It's just so darn dangerous that i can't help it :D

    • @tankchain3033
      @tankchain3033 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Mtaalas It is not actually that dangerous when you have been working around a machine like this for years. I understand exactly what can happen. Also, the video makes it look much closer than it really is. Another thing to consider is the timing belt is quite loose so even if my finger were to get caught (highly unlikely), the belt would stretch. There is also no cutting tool in the machine which makes it much safer. All that being said, I have plans to put a nice acrylic cover over the timing belts mostly to keep dirt out. Please be careful when working on machines like this. Be aware of your surroundings, how to cut the power, and wear safety glasses. I am actually much more concerned about having the electronic enclosure open to show the electronics. This is normally closed. The motors draw up to 3 amps, which is quite a shock. I have fuses built in, and this is normally completely enclosed.

  • @henry2008kim

    Looks wonderful! I guess the spindle is not tied to Mach3? The tach you showed in the video that were not wired up yet.. does it control the rpm closed loop? Any concerns on motor housing thermal expansion..?

    • @RealNightwork
      @RealNightwork 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sangyoon Kim The spindle is not controlled by Mach3...yet. I would like to do that sometime down the road. I am using MachTach www.machtach.com/ Dont confuse MachTach with Mach3, they are not related as far as I know. But it is just measures the rpm of the spindle. There is no control loop at all right now. As for the thermal questions, I am not worried about my motor getting hot. It is bolted to the aluminum frame and that will pull the heat away quite well. The whole spindle mount is acting like a heat sink and there is pleanty of air flow around the motor as well. I got side tracked on other projects and my work is in the process of buying a Haas Mini Mill. So I have stalled a little bit on this project. But I still plan on finishing it one day when. Most likely some other project will come up that will make me want to use this mill and that will motivate me to finish it.
