Howdy.
I am in the process of building a Willy replica. I started with a front frame clip and rear axle from an 89 XJ. I built a tube frame and set the axles at the same wheelbase as the original XJ.
It is powered by a Dodge 318, 727 tranny and the 242J from the XJ. I built a "replica" front end from surplus electrical panels and have off roaded it once at Hidden Falls Adventure Park in Marble Falls.
When I get a little more familiar with the forum, I will post build posts and bring it up to date.
Here's a couple of short videos of the first time out. Notice, it ain't finished yet.
