I am planning to mimic Alex’s Motobilt suspension setup. Could you ask him how much strut is exposed at ride height? That would help me tremendously, thanks!!! Love the Jeepster btw! 😁
The first year he ran it around 5 inches exposed. Now it is around 6 inches. The ORI's are sweet, just takes a little time playing with the pressures to dial them in for your driving style.
Sterling was junk! Diff had been welded by previous owner. Both side tubes were bent, bolts were cross threaded into the housing, the hubs had a few snapped off bolts, and the Truss was fabbed with 1/4 plate and a torch. For what I paid for it, I had no problem scrapping it. Only good parts yet were the shafts and all my buddies run 14bolts. Salvageable yes... but when they cost 100 bucks at the junk yard to replace, not worth my time to fix
I like the Jeepster. A future classic. Doesn’t need to be a full build / rock crawler (you already got one of those!). Just throw a junkyard motor / trans in, some 33s, new shocks etc and run it around town.
Wow I live in West Virginia,, those tires would need more tread! Haha a lot guy swap go back stock tires but I’ve never had issues and traveled hour half one way to work for past 5 years! IDE be only vehicle on roads at times breaking my own path haha loved it ! You have a bad ass TJ build can’t wait see ya wheel it!! 😊
This man’s videos are underrated…
I appreciated the compliment! We'll keep growing slow!
I mean, he’s okay…😂

@@SamMatter Awesome, thanks so much for the prompt reply!
@@spiceyoffroad Your welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel.
Seems like it would be perfect for putting it over a tube chassis or a truggy.
I like your style! It still may find its way back into the shop in the spring!
What did I miss about the sterling? Looked like diff and hubs could of been salvaged

That Jeepster needs a rescue. If you do, I would vote that you restomod it. Make a cruiser. That or rat rod it, because it's already pretty ratty!
I agree man! iv been brainstorming up ideas for it.
That’s a nice sweatshirt. You should build a rat rod out of that thing or let me do it. Also, that’s a nice sweatshirt.
I got this sweatshirt from a Fabrication shop out of TN. The owner is a sweetheart. I love ratrods, but not jeepster rat rods !
I think it’d be kinda cool to see a video of the whole thing being taken apart but I’m just supporting the channel 😂
I love the positive attitude and support!
Damn. That thing is rough. I made a similar marketplace mistake a couple weeks ago.
OH boy! Marketplace is best worst thing ever. Lets link up soon!
@@SamMatter we definitely need to soon!

Kind of my thoughts too! Just want something stupid simple and fun, day trip it up to our cabin and cruise the back roads in it!
Slam it, turn it into a rat rod

Thank you! Id love to make this jeepster have some sort of second life!
They are rare 🤷🏻♂️ but that’s a big project when you still have one going
For sureee and yeah I wouldn't be touching it until the TJ is done! Just want some feedback if people want to see this thing on the channel
@@SamMatter I think it would make some good content, the key is just having content to film and to keep it going. People will watch
I Love commandos ❤️
You and me both sista!
Rat rod build don’t need floors and rust looks good 🤣
You and Mr. Naykud can build a part rod together then lol
Budget cuts😂😂😂
What’s the camera you got?
Just upgraded from an antique iPhone to the iPhone 14 Pro!
Sell it to me hahah 😂
