I am glad they finally uploaded this video. I have enjoyed watching this build. That boy is so happy and I'm sure he will be the coolest kid in school now. I miss watching Stacey on Sundays from when I was a teenager
These three-episode builds are great because they are projects that any of us can do, even in today's era, and have a unique ride. Tomb Raider looks good. If I remember when they did a recap episode, at the time the kid that got this Jeep was still wheelin' it on the weekends and having fun.
Daddy opened his wallet BIG TIME for this project. I bet Bobby has long destroyed this beauty since and is holding down a $15 night stocker position at The Walmart now
Am I the only one thinking he should have painted the edges of all the drilled holes in this build? He painted the welds and section of the frame he modified, but not the snorkel or seat belt holes. It's funny, I always remembered the Jeep being stainless or silver. This was fun to watch and makes me want to go work on my JT.
Just make sure you don't bind those 35"s up on any parking lot curbs. Since most "built" Jeeps never even see gravel let alone rocks. Stock axles are definitely going to pop unless it's a Dana 44 or stronger.
It was nice to upgrade all that, but I'd have thought replacing the drive shafts and front axle would be way more important than replacing seats and adding tube doors. Those stock drive shafts cannot handle a 4" lift and 35" tires.
Hey Stacey, please show Stellantis how to build a Jeep, without the "DEATH WOBBLE "because they are obviously using inferior parts and don't know what they are doing
Love Stacy, David love what he did to that jeep, just seems like they did this for a privileged kid. Would’ve been cooler to pick a kids jeep that had no means. Just saying it was very awesome.
