Super Trooper 15: Steering in a New Direction
มุมมอง 1.6Kปีที่แล้ว
On this episode we tackle determining where the steering and track bar components will reside, not an easy task on this particular build. Midway through the episode I go on a snow wheeling trip in Gary's solid axle swapped Avalanche on tons and 40's, and we end up with a bit of carnage so you won't want to miss that.
Super Trooper 14: Getting in Touch with My Inner Fenders
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
After stretching the rear fenders I was left with giant holes in the back of the Trooper, so it was time to seal it up! I used some simple tools, sheet metal brake, Harbor Freight bead roller and shrinker/stretcher, to make new wheel tubs and shock tower covers. Follow along as the Super Trooper gets even closer to it's LS swapped, Super Duty axle, 40" tire, rock crawling, and jumping final form.

LS Swapped RX7 Burnouts?! What about the Trooper?
มุมมอง 851ปีที่แล้ว
We are back, after minor detour from Super Trooper highway. A quick motor swap in my RX7 and the Trooper is back in the shop getting cut to pieces and welded back together. The rear air bump mounts get fabricated and welded in and the interior gets cut to pieces.
Super Trooper Part 12: Weldy Weld
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this episode I welded out the rear suspension components in preparation for putting the rear all together. Thanks to Jack from some slick camera work of the welding.
Super Trooper Part 11: Four Link
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
It's been awhile! I have been plugging away at the rear suspension and it's looking good. In this episode I go over the current state of the build and what happened to get there.
Super Trooper Part 10: Rear Suspension Design
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This time around we have a few visitors to the shop, @miketheday and @steveshepard. We had torn the rear axle out of the Trooper in the last episode so we worked on suspension design and locating the new rear axle in the vehicle. We are going to be using a trailing arm setup on the rear suspension, mostly for style points. The rear quarter panels will need to be moved for tire clearance so we s...
Too tall for the street?! Super Trooper Part 9
มุมมอง 1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In Part 9 we get a surprise visit from the police regarding the height of the Trooper. The rear axle and fuel tank get removed, and the Sterling rear axle gets prepped to go in.
Super Trooper Part 8
มุมมอง 1.8K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This time we mock up the front suspension links and cycle the suspension up and down.
40's and an LS in a Trooper: Part 7
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This episode focuses on designing the front suspension and making the link brackets for our three link front suspension. This LS swapped Trooper is one step closer to sitting on it's new front suspension.
Super Trooper LS and Solid Axle Swap Part 6
มุมมอง 1.9K2 ปีที่แล้ว
I am building an LS swapped Trooper with Super Duty axles and linked suspension. In this episode I tackle the transmission crossmember!
Super Trooper Part 5
มุมมอง 1.5K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this episode I drill the frame out and weld in inserts, then discover that the transfer case sits a bit too low.
Super Trooper Part 4, LS Swap Motor Mounts
มุมมอง 2.7K2 ปีที่แล้ว
In this episode we make room for the engine and transmission to fit closely to the body and design custom swap motor mounts for the LS engine.
Super Trooper Part 3: Framed
มุมมอง 1.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Now that we cut a bunch of stuff off I actually add something back! In this episode I cut a bunch of square tube and weld it into two framerails then attach them to the frame that we cut off in part two. Thanks to Josh for running the square tube over for me!

You rock dude. Thanks for the knowledge and inspiration 😎
It’s been 8 months hope all is well and the projects still coming along nice
How much would you charge to ls swap a 1991? lol I’m probably just going to find a 3.4 but ls is awesome. Good shit man
Badass!!!!!
Beauty
Beautifulllll!!! Recently i had a troopper model 93. Greetings from Medellin Here is My car ****th-cam.com/video/S8byrbjW-N8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HrEPrQp41t9UdWkJ
I have a 97 Acura slx i want to do this too its painted like the Jurassic Park tour truck
Tengo una igualita blanca 2.5 del 1990.
What kind of sawzall blade did you use for that frame cut ?
Well it's been over a month still patiently waiting hahaha I'm rounding up the stuff to do my 88 trooper have axles and some 39's to be installed but I need updates haha
Glad you're still working on it
Awesome to see it stretching its legs, great work Paul!
Almost forgot about this one. Can’t wait for the updates
Awesome Thanksgiving treat! Better than turkey!
Haha, awesome.
Glad you are back. Don't worry, my project has gone nowhere. You are doing better than most.
A little at a time!
Dude! I was just wondering about this build the other day. Glad to see another update. Looks bad@ss.
Thank you! I’m getting it back in the shop for more progress.
Thanks the update. I'm looking forward to an in-depth video on all the new work.
Coming soon, a lot of it is already filmed.
Good to see you back on the Trooper.
Good to be back!
Looking forward to future vids on this!
I’m doing an update this weekend!
Are you still alive? I'm running out of drool.
I am! I will do an update this weekend.
Really hoping for more updates!
I’m dropping an update this weekend!
Keep the good work coming! I have a 91 Trooper Im eager to build bigger.
Awesome!
I love watching your fabrication work, and I can't fathom why there aren't tens of thousands of people subscribing to your channel. I have to think that there's something seriously wrong with the TH-cam recommendation algorithm since there are other channels with less skilled fabricators with more subscribers. I just hope it's worthwhile for you - your work is really inspiring.
Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it. I think the algorithm would be much happier if I was building a Jeep or a new Bronco. I have more footage that I am going to edit soon, some stuff that I am excited to show.
yo it's been 2 months since last, hope everything are good brother...looking for your next update...thought that if you moved your axle and inch forward would be fine for the link bracket...
It’s coming along, I am hoping to post a video on the fuel tank I built very soon.
Love what your are doing with your Trooper! I've dreamed of doing similar with one and setting up inside as an overland camping rig. Build and install slide out drawer units in back with counter for stove, fridge, sink. Put a sun 18"x36" roof in back of roof with seal to hole in clam shell tent floor mounted on roof rack. Clam shell tents are about 110-200lbs so would make rig a little top heavy, but at 100-150lbs are light enough to be lifted ooff by a couple of strong people when doing serious wheeling. Looking forward to seeing more of this build!
The overall plan with this is the ability to wheel some pretty tough trails, hit jumps, go 80 on the highway and get to remote camping sites and be comfortable. I want to do a slide out, cooling bench fold down on the larger rear door, roof top tent and some neat storage cubbies. The fridge/freezer is a must too. I have more updates coming soon.
@@ilovemybike Thanks for reply! That's what I would love to have! First overland rig I saw was one of Andrew St. Pierre White's rigs in about 1996. He's built many, most with pop-top roof with bed platform hinged at windshield so person can stand in rear half of vehicle with bed up, and have a space between bad and back door for easy access to bed when bed is down. He doesn't use slide-out cooler / hob / sink kitchen, but does use side windows as storage compartments and hinged shelves on sides with access where windows were to cook, etc. Down side of this kind of setup is hinging roof bed / rooftop clamshell tent raise center of gravity alot. And making a hinged roof bed tent is quite complicated. But there are a few clamshell roof top tents that could be modified to have access from below thru a opening hatch in 4x4 roof. Doing this kind of clamshell roof top tent with some added hardware could be removed by a couple of people to allow user to do more serious wheeling. Feel free to let me know if you would like to discuss this more. Not sure there is a way to exchange email addresses privately here.
i have an 87 trooper and this is the coolest build ive seen by FAR. im beyond excited to follow the journey
Thanks for coming along! I have two more chapters being edited now
Love it man, awesome work 🤙
Appreciate it!
Cool project dude, glad I found it
Thank you! Let me know what you want to see next.
At 1st I like, dang, 22 min...... then I was like, DANG IT only 22 min!! 😅🤙🏼 Progress looks great bro!
Thanks! Can’t wait to have it on its own weight.
nice bro. good job.. i like it your job. very neat.
Thank you!
Glad to see this going again!
More on the way too!
nice bro.. what axle this ?
The axles are from a 2005+ Super Duty, the front is a Dana 60 and the rear is a Sterling 10.5”
nice bro..i like it. i support your channel from Malaysia.🙋
Thank you! More to come
@@ilovemybike you very champion modifed your trooper. i got one trooper but 2 door long base. i want modified same to you, but the cost very expensive if at Malaysia.
I have a stock 90 Trooper with the 2.8, I picked up a 2010 Silverado with the 5.3. So you think everything will fit under there pre lift?
I can’t speak to that directly as I cut the factory frame off, but I have done 10 or so LS swaps and I am confident you can get an oil pan on that engine that will allow it to fit.
Thanks a bunch, I was more more worried about that trans going under there swapping entire drive train under. We'll I guess worse case, I'll follow your videos! Thanks man!!
Yo really dope to see your project coming together, I’m working a 95 trooper I’m I interested in knowing more about the dimensions you used for the front part of your frame, do you think you could’ve avoided the frame redesign if you would’ve used leaf springs for the front ? Just curious about your opinion?
I bet you could have. I just wanted a clean surface to work from without having to cut all the factory brackets off. If I wasn’t trying to make it as low as I am with the drivetrain and solid axle swap I would have left the factory frame.
Wow. Your knowledge, skill, and patience, is epic! I'm usually over it by day three. Gotta learn to enjoy the process.
It is tough to keep the ambition going but breaking it down into chunks helps me. Trying to make each area or challenge come out really well instead of rushing to finish has helped me to achieve a better result in the past.
Going to do any frame reinforcement like boxing it or plate in it
It is a fully boxed frame, but I am going to add in crossmembers at the high stress areas. The frame near the rear coilover towers, and link locations will get beefed up as well.
@@ilovemybike just was wondering did know if the factory frame would be strong enough without plaiting it or something
Nice work!
Thanks!
Top notch content!
Thank you! More to come.
hey i know that guy!
Tis I!
You popped up in my feed. I'm a jeep guy but think I'll stick around for the fab work. Looks good.
Always feels like the video ends too soon. 🍿 you do great work! Love watching it come together
I’ve been thinking about making them a bit longer, thanks for the kind words!
He's back! Wheel wells look great, man!
Thank you sir! More to come!
Thought the same thing. I’ve been waiting to see more of this build.
It's incredible watching someone with your range and command of fabricating skills. You do amazing work.
Thank you, one step at a time!
EPIC, definitely getting a trooper.
Right on, I like the classic 80’s square shape.

Dude that was beautiful great work! True craftsmanship displayed! Great fab skills!
