Man that is so similar to my build! I have and used a CJ8 scrambler top to make my cab and man does it look good! I dig this rig! Excited to see how you finish it out.
I like the idea of the box on the back, but in my opinion that one doesn't flow with the jeep, shape and size wise. Id say find a short bed service body and narrow it, or maybe a small uhual trailer to use as a box. Aside from that, badass build!
Agree, it isn’t the most fitting thing for the rear but we have plans to make it look like it flows better with the rest of the Jeep. I do agree it needs to be a little bigger, we’ll see where it takes us.
@BuiltDifferentGarage There are some other ones that can do Flux wire feed but are pretty pricey too, I like my modified jumper cables, 2 or 3 batteries, and some welding rod your good to go. Its janky but it will get you off the trail 90% of the time and it's as cheap as a couple of yard sale jumper cables and 30 minutes to cut them to appropriate lengths and add a rodholder clip end and ground.
@@BuiltDifferentGarage I have settled on Brutlity (Brute + utility) for mine, I'm going to video and see what happens i might post it. We're basically building the same rig but mine has a utility service bed. Going for a everything and including the kitchen sink overland build with mine.
awesome video..welcome back, hope you had an awesome wedding and honeymoon. Maybe try a flatbed and put the box thing if it will fit sideways on the on the flatbed. so you have room to put some stuff on sides for extra space. i think army green would be great.but it looks awesome. remember have fun and take care
Looks like it’ll be a nice rock crawler! Before you go too far, run some numbers on the rear suspension geometry. At a quick glance (link placement and link lengths), it looks like the anti-squat may be way off.
Congratulations on your wedding 🤘😎 No need to apologize guys, life is real, and we do what we gotta do to keep ourselves enjoying it and striving forward. Very COOL project YJ 🤘😁 Have a great day and enjoy that awesome build 😎👍 THAT generator box, I'M TOTALLY JEALOUS of that idea is SAH-WEEET 😁
Love it. The toolbox idea is right on track with what I’d want to do to it and it’s very close to what I want to do with mine. I have a 2000 TJ Sahara that I’d love to convert into a single cab. Don’t quite have the balls to cut the back out without a plan to do it. Army green would look sick. Though I’m in the army so I’m biased lol. Can’t wait to see it.
Here is an Idea for the dashboard there is this guy in Canada he has an 10 pickup with a V8 and he has a 1955 Chevy Belair dashboard I just thought it to be cool.
Well we know this is gonna be fun! Can't wait to watch this build. The spare definitely needs to go on top with maybe a hilift. Inside could have axles, premier welder, air compressor, blah blah. 🤘🤘
If you really want to build a rock crawler, stop talking about adding a bunch of weight up high... ie. roof top tent or top mounted spare. That box is already adding a bunch of weight up high. Step one would be to figure out how to lower it 6 or 8 inches. it is certainly a good base to start from.
Damn it your building my dreams, im going to do this to my YJ in order to gain the confidence and skill to do an extra cab to my TJ. Look up summit unlimited. That's what I'm going for.
@@dakotaregister1549 99-04 isn't kingpin. Kingpin is the oldschool Dana axles. 99-04 is narrower, leaf spring, and has slightly smaller knuckles/brakes/unit bearings than the 05+
The average guy wheelin a bit here and there will never know the difference betwen a 50 and 60. By 2003 the F series pretty much phased out the D50 and used D60 so it depends what year it's from. Any way you slice it, it's a million times better than a D 30
the mustache is creepy
HAH that’s the point… why else would anyone have a mustache??
😂
I would make the sides below the doors fold down like a tailgate
I'd split that generator box in half and widen it a little. Cool project
I would widen the box on the back to match the body of the jeep.
We’ve thought about that as well.
Army Green is a must !
So rad 🤙 Army green for sure! Maybe some tiger stripe camo.
Looking forward to seeing this completed. I would to have something like this myself
Widen that generator box and tub the wheel wells.
Man that is so similar to my build! I have and used a CJ8 scrambler top to make my cab and man does it look good! I dig this rig! Excited to see how you finish it out.
Congratulations on getting engaged! Yes it’s a Jeep. A monster Jeepm
Sorry, married uggghh. Congratulations!
Thank you!!
That rear box is RAD!
im glad you got another project love watching the progress
Appreciate it🤟🏼
Nice man!
Thanks!!
Check out Jb fabrication for the twin stick shifters for the 203/205 doubler front digs and rear digs... awesome! Love your videos... keep it up!

Congrats, guys. Glad you were able to pick it up.
Thanks John!!
Damn, that box idea is genius. I could see also using a Ingersoll Air Compressor chassis for this purpose.
That would be badass!
How about a 383 engine kit from Summitt.
Need to move the rear upper links on the frame side up. Arms need separation.
We did that in the video right after this one. Brand new 4 link made for it.
I love those front fenders holy shit
They are badass
@@BuiltDifferentGarage wonder if you can still buy them somewhere?
Nice video! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great find, and a great foundation to start from, look forward to watching your build along the way! 👍👌
Thanks🤟🏼
ARMY green /olive drab.. the four holes drilled into the fender, are they purposeful or just for looks? which looks great
I’m all for Army green. I think they’re just for looks
You can name it Ute. Utility Brute. Look into premier welder, they are an alternator powered stick welder set up a little pricey but very well built.
That Welder is in my recent searches haha. We are trying to figure out a name, I do like that one.

Absolutely! Anything to get you up and running temporarily is all you need!

Jim at Mount Zion Offroad in Dover PA has a scrambler hard top for sale.
Oh nice! I’ll have to reach out to them.

We’ve toyed around with building a flatbed for it. That may still be in the cards! Army green is my personal pick but we’ll see!
Found you from Arkansas offroad. 👍💪🛠👀
Greetings from Florida 🏖🌊🏄♂️👣🌞
Like an Australian canopy setup. 👍🦘

Check out Jake Burkey’s Busted knuckle offroad videos on suspension design. youtube.com/@BustedKnuckleOffRoad?feature=shared
We just replaced all of rear suspension! You’ll see in mondays video.
What is the wheelbase?
Congratulations on your wedding 🤘😎
No need to apologize guys, life is real, and we do what we gotta do to keep ourselves enjoying it and striving forward. Very COOL project YJ 🤘😁

THAT generator box, I'M TOTALLY JEALOUS of that idea is SAH-WEEET 😁
Much appreciated! It’s going to be a fun build!
Congrats on getting married! That jeep is dope
Thanks dude!
Really cool rig. Looking forward to the build on this. I think Army green would look great. Or a desert sand.
Thanks! Either of those would be my choice!
Layers of green black gray brown sanded into a camo patina.
Camo AND patina...that sounds very intriguing and cool. If ya go straight army green, don't forget some orange as a minor trim color.
Looks like it's gonna be a be a beast of a build....Can't wait to see the series....I vote for desert sand color!!
Thanks🤟🏼 that would be a cool color. Flat tan or a gloss?
That is a pretty dope build. Looking forward to seeing it all come together.
You and me both!🤟🏼

Sidebar: It looks like it has a shockingly good breakover angle.
All the fun stuff could be added to the box!
Congrats on the marriage bro! The wedding looked absolutely amazing!
I’m definitely keen to see the YJ build evolve and get the BDG touch.
Thanks brother! It’s going to be a fun one
Thanks for all the love looking forward to seeing you guys make it your own!
Got you!
Great to see y’all back and working on Jeeps! Congrats again on the wedding and keep up the great content 👌🏼
Thanks brother!

Agreed. We probably won’t do the tent or spare. We were just throwing stuff out there
FI tech would be a bad choice. A lot of Utubers had issues with them.
You’re not the first person. We are considering other options!
Damn it your building my dreams, im going to do this to my YJ in order to gain the confidence and skill to do an extra cab to my TJ. Look up summit unlimited. That's what I'm going for.
Let’s gooo! What is the Summit unlimited? I tried looking for it
Heads up but that is not a D60 front axle. 99-04 Ford is a D50 which is very weak. Look for an 05 and up D60. Love a YJ though.
99-04 had Dana 60s too
Only difference between 99-04 and 05+ is width and the 99-04 is a king pin
@@dakotaregister1549 99-04 isn't kingpin. Kingpin is the oldschool Dana axles. 99-04 is narrower, leaf spring, and has slightly smaller knuckles/brakes/unit bearings than the 05+
