On the street...literally.

[ON_my_DOORS]

My good friend opened me up to this lovely group of Jeepers...nobody else accepts me in the Jeep world so please be kind

Realisticly I don't care...and I named my project suitably to that...and this is "Project Troll".

I have documented the build...if you are interested. If you want more, I would love to share, but my experience with Jeep enthusiasts hasn't been very warming since I started in May. But I like new friends...CHEERS!!!

I'd love to see more I used to have a bagged shaved Nissan so I know the time and effort your putting into your jeep. Especially for it to lay doors with a unibody and straight axle which I'm sure none of those exist anymore unless you sectiones the whole floor up. I'm defiantly interested man give us some more

 

[XJLI]

holy i need some pics to see how you get (or plan to) that thing to move under its own power

 

[bluejeepkid]

wow, id like to see more.
also, that doesnt look like a 30 under the front, looks like A arms or something

 

[ON_my_DOORS]

haha XJLI...I'm in the same boat as you. I have a Ford 5.0L, T5 ready to go in and thats what the front end is mocked up for...but its really tall and I want minimal exterior body mods. I am leaning towards a turbo 13B rotary.

There is indeed no unibody, no solid axle...and no floors yet haha. It is on a Ford Ranger I beam front end, thats been Z'd and the engine crossmember dropped to lay on factory beams (that way I get THE most negative camber possible when layed out). It is a full frame with full one off body mounts and crossmembers. 4 link rear end, Slam RE7's on all 4 corners, dual compressors, 12 gallon 200 psi tank.

I cut the entire diameter of the truck (of course I did brace it first) and lifted it off and rolled the COMPLETE truck from bumper to bumper out from underneath it.

I will get some shots of the frame setup soon, and I will air it up to ride height (and well beyond) pretty soon. I don't want to rush it and tweak the body out of alignment. I've gone this far with the body lines still lined up...I don't want to mess it up now

Truthfully...I started it to piss off as many people as possible. Ranger I-beam front end, STOCK beams laying rail, and a Jeep on its doors. All things people tell me would never work...not that it works yet...

Rotary? Okay now I'm interested. I'd never do something like this, but it's a Jeep, and a shload of work, so if nothing else it should prove entertaining.

I dunno about the rotary idea. Good little engines when NA but turbo ones are finicky at best. The intake on the 5.0 my stick out the hood though! Even if this is a bagged XJ it might be an interesting build to watch. Go for it, even though it should be in the air on mud terrains!

[old_man]

I've helped slam several vehicles with my soon to be ex son in law, but never an XJ.

 

[GrimmJeeper]

some inspiration for you, it has been done before:

ignore the goofy rims on the white one up top, lol.

Looking forward to some more pics as I mentioned earlier.

That's just the kind of madness I'd expect from a Canuck

 

[FlexdXJ]

Whatever you do, leave the 4x4 badges on it. That would leave people scratching their heads!

 

[POSJ]

That thing looks pretty good man. Glad you picked an XJ so we can track the progress.

 

[Talyn]

Interesting. Not sure i like, but I would like to see the build progress.

 

[bluejeepkid]

i thinks its cool. i personally like that comanche pictured above...
i love mini trucks and slammed rigs

 

[bdiamond]

Might be cool with a rear engine and a transaxle. The 5.0 would definately fit under a roof. You might could use front mounted platform in the rear of it. Not too sure what had a 5.0 and was front wheel drive or rear engined though.

Sweet. IMO, it would look great if you kept the "stock" look. Or even better, stuff 31's on some rubicon wheels while keeping 4wd and keep it clean. Ok... now I want to build one. lol.
