      Thanks, go build one you will never regret it. I've been wheeling mine for 16 years and loved every minute of it.

    Awesome Willy! I have one in parts, actually a CJ3B, a CJ5 frame + 4,3 Vortec + toy axles with ARBs. Gotta put it together soon, you gave me some much needed inspiration, yours have the right stance.

    I put my axles over the leafs for simplicity and stability. Nothing like off camber and not having to worry. I used 4" Jeep Wrangler YJ leafs for easy replacement. Lower center of gravity also makes it easier to get in and out of which is mighty handy at my age.

    I went to the website for more info on your Willy and it seem's the site is down? I was kinda wondering how much lift you went with and if you did any trimming to get the 37s to fit.

    Awesome Jeep! Im trying to do something like that with my WIllys

  • @jarradmcdonald2895
    @jarradmcdonald2895 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Manual all the way! Better for steep descents and keeping revs where you want them. It is handy not having to worry about the clutch though.
    Where was dad telling her not to ever cross her arms or to keep her fingers out of the wheel?! :p

  • @madbrit

    Hi Jose,
    The site was down was down for couple of days but it's back up now. The lift is a 3 inch lift using Wrangler YJ springs. I did do some trimming of the rear fenders but that's it.

    Hey man how did you lift it?, i heard most people put the axles under the leafs, i got a 48 cj2a that im about to get running and would like a 5.5, or 6" lift

  • @drums2god
    @drums2god 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Are you running an automatic? Does it make it easier than a manual?

  • @jarradmcdonald2895

    Beautiful Jeep. What are the specs?

  • @madbrit
    @madbrit  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Perhaps I will come down to scare everyone at the TRJC Father's day Run. I never find the time anymore although it is not for a lack of trying to get there.

    I have a question, who made your winch mount and your roll cage? any info would be nice.

    • @madbrit
      @madbrit  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      It was all custom made. The which plate was a standard Warn plate cut to fit. The cage was custom to fit just above the windshield and sized to fit under a Tiger Top soft top.

    You might want to check my build site shown at the end of the video. You will see what I started with and that I did not ruin a piece of history.

    @sbrodacz Thanks for the compliment I have a spec page listed at the end of the movie along with a dozen or build pages

    I am driving and only hanging onto the steering wheel. I do believe the trail guide was attempting to prevent the Willys from going ass over tit because the wheelbase is so short. It would not be the first time someone mucked up on the particular piece of rock. Then again it might be his Jeep and I am stealing it or I wasn't going fast enough and he was pushing me of the ledge. Whatever the reason we were all just having fun.

      +World Traveler东北 I do indeed live in Illinois, Naperville to be exact but wheeling here is pretty much limited to mud and more mud.

  • @madbrit
    @madbrit  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have Intn'l Scout axles so bought all new brackets, u-bolts and skid plates. Check out my build on my web site listed at the end of the video for some pictures

  • @madbrit
    @madbrit  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I find running an automatic gives me far more control. It's one less thing to worry about in a tight situation.

  • @Ken19700

    What axle ratios are you running?
