Ive read this on pirate years ago. This belongs to stan prueitt who originally built the trex 6x6 dodge on top truck challenge. He built this for his family, and to have a more street friendly rig. He later was a judge on top truck, and has been in several magazines. He knows what he is doing. Stop being arm chair engineers. These pics are very old and it hasnt exploded yet. Love your work stan.
@@TheAmericanUhate Ou why yes, why not everyone just spend 10-20k on wrangler, then get front end collision wreck for 5k and put least another 5k on materials, just so they can state the fucking obvious? I have seen 10y olds make something like this on 100$ field car and manage way better with the wheel alignment, so i guess we need to invite that kid to come and state it for you... Seriously though no one is saying technical aspect of this is bad, only thing people are mentioning is how close the rear wheels are to each other making place where trunk of something can get jammed, possible breaking things, engine could be bit underpowered cause of added weight and that wheel placement in the arches could have been better.
I saw a 6X6 made with 9.5 Ford diffs. Back cover cut off first axle and holes drilled and tapped to bolt up a differential. Second 9.5 front cover with pinion. Mounts for bearings are carbon arced off. Bolt to first axle so the pinion drives off the back of the ring gear. You now have an axle that has a u joint yolk on both sides. Take 3rd axle and turn it over so it turns the correct direction. Mount axles on an I beam to make a Hendrickson type rear suspension.
I am speachless. Why the holy hell go to all that effort and then just fuck it all up with the abortion that is wheel to wheel well alignment on the rear of this Jeep.
Tuff to do with 60s or 70s Dana looks like 205 remote case backwards to drive them BOTH . The rock well thru drives would have made doing that so much easier possibly close to same weight the 205 case is about 200 lbs looks like it's working good . Control links to limit the drive shafts from binding and braking is a must. Good engineering!
We have built several different 6x6's and this was one using the WWII DOdge Power Wagon Design. Twin shafts out of a pillow block or for us a flipped 205.
Over all I liked the Jeep. However, it’s a nice ride, but some opportunity was missed. 1) like relocating the front tandem forward. That would have allowed the middle axle to stay in gauged with terrain over rocky climbs 2) the rear body could have been existent out pass the rear tandems tire. To prevent the tire from rubbing, while climbing over rocks. As see in video. 3 ) the roll bars could have used a bit more thought 4) the second set of seats appears way low. In reference to the front seats. Just an a statics.
very nice project, i like it which transfer case was used for the distribution on both rear axles? I would like to convert my Nissan Patrol/Safari to 6x6
I did a simliar back in 03 on a Mazda B in 20054 Mercedes saw the Mazda I built and contracted me to build a hoax for SEMA the Smart Semi. 20's were the big thing then so I put 18's on 10 wheels but smart semi had 6 wheel drive they told me not to go buck wild I wanted to build a 12 person hot tub in the trailer overall fun build. Never saw the truck once it left sema
Nice surgery to the tJ. I'm pretty sure she's ready for the street and the desert. Also cheaper than a g63 6x6. One thing for sure she's beautiful and hot🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘!!!
yeah I wanted to like it but they did some wierd things, the middle axle is too far back the fenders don't line up the airbags were mounted crooked the drive shaft situation was a bit of a debacle the rear half wasn't put on straight the iinner fenders could have been done better it's a bit of a hack job
Do you see any problems with using treads on the dual rear as its arranged on your project? I want to get a 6x6 build that I can pop treads on for snow/sand.
I've been contemplating a very similar 6x6 setup on a $100 Jeep Comanche i acquired. I picked up a divorced rockwell 221 tcase with 4 total outputs. Should be covered either way but is your divorced case a 205 mounted backwards and therefore running in reverse rotation?
Timothy W. ... thought the same thing but I think it was necessary to achieve proper driveline angle for the far back axle... also with the pillow blocks on the middle axle doesn't leave a lot of room for drive shafts... FYI the front drive shaft is longer than the back... they overcame the obstacle well with the fenders 👍
Its badass but that rear just f's the build all up. It's just doesn't fit right all ya had to do is make that rear fender go further past the rear tires and that would of made it look better. Im sorry but I hope you fixed that.
Why not just weld in the rear frame section from a Dodge WC army truck with offset rear differential cases and the special transfer case with a front PTO for a winch ??
Hi love the build. I have many questions as im putting together and planning a simbuild on my tj. What axles and gear ratio did you go with? What secondary transfer case did you use and was it a np 205? Do you plan to leave the fa tory 4.0 or swap to diesel? Also how and where did you mount the air tanks and compressor? Also if i may ask why air bags and not a three and four link to get more articulation?
^^ THIS!!! you couldn't pay me to ride back there, get rid of the third seat and build something different in its place, you're going to get someone killed....otherwise pretty rad build
I'd like to add an extra axle to my 82 Chevy k30 for towing. I have a 10 ft flatbed and would like to be able to haul my rzr on the flatbed and tow a camper.
Great concept, but not finished as well as it could have been. The body needed to be about a foot longer, the exposed wheel arches needed some type of fender extentions as well. Would liked to have had a better outcome.
When you lock in both transfer cases they won’t have the same ratio. The front axle is ran through 1case and the rear axles is ran through 2 cases which will be a lower ratio than the front
A lot of mechanical challenges, but why did you let the top of the rear quarter end up with a dip? and the axle placement vs. the body? the roll cage offers no protection for 3d row with the seat so high. I was also disapointed with the weld quality. Next project will be better.
Nice build but always something to complain (of course): - Rear body much to short! - Very short panhard rods! - Chassis seems to be very weak around the heaviest loaded area (around 1st rear axle). The chassis is much longer now so it needs a higher profile. - 1st. rear axle comes from the ground very easily.. Almost no articulation (air suspension pumped up hard to prevent rear wheels rubbing the rear fenders). Almost all articulation comes from frontaxle. It looks nice but there is definately some work to do to in the technical area!

and even an armchair engineer can see the very bad wheel well openings.....they are terrible....
Looks better than the one you built LR.

NICE THE J-- 7 .....WRANGLER AND THE JEEP.....J-- 5 .
Looks nice but wheel placement in the arches could have been better
Yes the body was cut way off
El cardan del primer eje es muy corto, no les permite acercarlo hacia adelante.
You should have done the body stretch, then set the rear axles..
I can't help but imagine the sound of a diesel in my mind when I see that thing.
Wonderfully creative build. Wish I had the mechanical aptitude to build something like that. Good Job all.
Those rear track bar angles! :-o And yeah, the rear axle:body relationship could've been sooooo much better.
Looks good. I appreciate all the work that went into it!
from bottom of my heart I want inform the jeep wrangler manufacturer that I like and love JEEP WRANGLER

That wheel well is driving me nuts..yikes.

Find myself cursing the rest the video because of this. Kinda a dumb ass mistake
Hang on...my real name is ryder,cool
You build an actual 6x6. Most people build 6x4s and call them 6x6 because they have 6 wheels even though only 4 are powered. Good job.
Wht most ppl dream abt u guys did it 👏👏👏 10/10
well done, interesting choice on the tandem axle set up, great work overall and creativity.
A 6x6 isn't my thing but that jeep is a beast. Looks great and awesome work
Beautiful build. Straight beast and love it. I'm not a new Jeep fan but I love this

Beautifully made
Awesome monster!!!
awesome ride for the whole family
Very nice, be even cooler with a camper back there though. Extra set of drive wheels = more capacity for these van life days.
Good thing is give it to all. Great work.
I get approach and departure angles, but those rear wheel wells are killing my eyes.
Fun concept, but the rear track bar lengths/angles are pretty awful, rear seats are too high for the cage, and the rear wheelbases are way off.
Salut liat abang modif mobil nya,kren abis lahhhh.saya pingin punya tapi,,,,,,pendem aja rasa & pengen nya, mantap bg ???
Its a nice jeep but the rear dont line up perfectly maybr u could fix
GOOD JOB....👍👍👍👍
Why was the back rear run to a carrier then to a (?) Split transfer? Why not just run standard tandems like rigs?
We have built several different 6x6's and this was one using the WWII DOdge Power Wagon Design. Twin shafts out of a pillow block or for us a flipped 205.
Fuck all the haters. You guys built a badass unique vehicle.
Just caught this vid and she's Awesome!!!
EXCELLENT JOB GUYS, KEEP UP.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙏
I like it alot!!
Very nice modification

very nice project, i like it
which transfer case was used for the distribution on both rear axles?
I would like to convert my Nissan Patrol/Safari to 6x6
Divorced NP 205,i believe it's from old dodge
I think the axles are in the perfect position.
I did a simliar back in 03 on a Mazda B in 20054 Mercedes saw the Mazda I built and contracted me to build a hoax for SEMA the Smart Semi.
20's were the big thing then so I put 18's on 10 wheels but smart semi had 6 wheel drive they told me not to go buck wild I wanted to build a 12 person hot tub in the trailer overall fun build. Never saw the truck once it left sema
My OCD is killing me on that rear end axle placement, couldn’t fix that? There were probably several opportunities.
Nice job.
Nice surgery to the tJ. I'm pretty sure she's ready for the street and the desert. Also cheaper than a g63 6x6. One thing for sure she's beautiful and hot🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘!!!
Back axles are too far back or the body needs to be stretched further
Good job sir
So nice
yeah I wanted to like it but they did some wierd things, the middle axle is too far back the fenders don't line up the airbags were mounted crooked the drive shaft situation was a bit of a debacle the rear half wasn't put on straight the iinner fenders could have been done better it's a bit of a hack job
Nicer than mine
Hi guys did wonderful
Which gear box did you use for 6×6
What is the middle axle? Where to get one?
Nice job
I've been thinking about doing a project like this of my own with my dually. how did you get past powering both the rears?
Thank u for this awesome video.
This Osama bro grate work
Sick build bro. One day I’d love to do this. JuT for the sheer fact that there aren’t many out there and it’s freaking kool!
Wonder what the transfer is and is it turned around backwards
Sick tunes
Do you see any problems with using treads on the dual rear as its arranged on your project? I want to get a 6x6 build that I can pop treads on for snow/sand.
Great Job 👍👍👍👍👍
Very cool!
Excellent work minus the wheel well placement. It isn’t lined up properly
Well there is room for improvement he'll do it better for his next build
Very impressive workmanship, also really like the photo's of it in action & video of it at Play.
Very interesting, so does it have the original power plant?
I've been contemplating a very similar 6x6 setup on a $100 Jeep Comanche i acquired. I picked up a divorced rockwell 221 tcase with 4 total outputs. Should be covered either way but is your divorced case a 205 mounted backwards and therefore running in reverse rotation?
Is that a divorced np205 turned around backwards?
Is there not a way to drive both rear axles with a transfer case? If I remember right that's what the ram t rex prototype used.
Very nice and crazy modification.
I don't know this is the vest way at 1:56 but still love it.
was a ruler and a protractor used at all
Quiero un Jeep de esos!!! 👍👍👏👏👏👏
The back 2axles look too far back.....
Timothy W. ... thought the same thing but I think it was necessary to achieve proper driveline angle for the far back axle... also with the pillow blocks on the middle axle doesn't leave a lot of room for drive shafts... FYI the front drive shaft is longer than the back... they overcame the obstacle well with the fenders 👍
Better departure angle.
you just made up my mind on a car and making it more expensive
What type of divorced transfer case did they use? Ford np205? If anybody knows please reply. Thanks!!
Good work 😎
reminds me alot of the older dodge 6x6 from ww2
Its badass but that rear just f's the build all up. It's just doesn't fit right all ya had to do is make that rear fender go further past the rear tires and that would of made it look better. Im sorry but I hope you fixed that.

Awesome build, I like the idea of stadium seating but wtf the third row is so high up? When that thing rolls it’s gonna kill whoever’s back there...
^^ THIS!!! you couldn't pay me to ride back there, get rid of the third seat and build something different in its place, you're going to get someone killed....otherwise pretty rad build
I'd like to add an extra axle to my 82 Chevy k30 for towing. I have a 10 ft flatbed and would like to be able to haul my rzr on the flatbed and tow a camper.
Looks good but it sucks how the rear wheels grind on the wheel arch, makes it less capable, looks like the rear axle would of had way more up travel
Does 6X6 have that significant of advantages over 4X4? ...all that for two more passengers?
Dude, i think this dude is the host of top truck challenge. He would drive a hacked together truck.
a c it is
Awesome!
How did you calculate the length of the 4link suspension parts ?
Nice DIY. Would did some parts diffrent, but nice Job.
I wonder if he used the 4.0 I6 to move this rig all that weight stock or supercharger or different engine
Great concept, but not finished as well as it could have been. The body needed to be about a foot longer, the exposed wheel arches needed some type of fender extentions as well. Would liked to have had a better outcome.
Every fabricators nightmare
Why are the axel so far back it looks weird did you mean to make it like that or is it streched so it looks like that
uffff amigo, decir que te quedó bueno es decir poco
When you lock in both transfer cases they won’t have the same ratio. The front axle is ran through 1case and the rear axles is ran through 2 cases which will be a lower ratio than the front
no the rear case is 1:1
What transfer case you use
Good job
Nice protect.,!
Looks like a fun project, but the point of a Jeep is a small maneuverable vehicle.
A lot of mechanical challenges, but why did you let the top of the rear quarter end up with a dip? and the axle placement vs. the body? the roll cage offers no protection for 3d row with the seat so high. I was also disapointed with the weld quality. Next project will be better.
It is like a train!! So interesting to watch though
Nice build but always something to complain (of course):
- Rear body much to short!
- Very short panhard rods!
- Chassis seems to be very weak around the heaviest loaded area (around 1st rear axle). The chassis is much longer now so it needs a higher profile.
- 1st. rear axle comes from the ground very easily.. Almost no articulation (air suspension pumped up hard to prevent rear wheels rubbing the rear fenders). Almost all articulation comes from frontaxle.
It looks nice but there is definately some work to do to in the technical area!
The best
7:57 Person in back looks like their head is above the roll bar. ?
if it works leave it alone you can't be proven success
Owsome just owsome
