Is Cutting a Jeep TJ in Half Worth it? Jeep Truck Conversion 

Thank you very much, that means a lot! We appreciate the support!

I could only imagine the difference between those 2! I appreciate it!

Thank you! That is awesome! Definitely going to be an awesome build to enjoy, have fun finishing it up!

Thank you!! Final color has been decided! Hope to have it on in the next month or two, we are gathering supplies for it now! YJ is up next along with our Cherokee Chief!!

Thank you very much!! I say go for it!!

Thank you!

I said the same thing and then one day I was cutting it in half😂

I’ve got a TJ single cab Brute for sale if your interested.

Thank you!

Thanks!

That’s a good idea too. There are some not far from me as well!

Hmmm interesting! I’d love to see what you’re talking about! My email is Kraftoffroad@gmail.com I look forward to hearing from you!

@@BuiltDifferentGarage working on an explanation video! I'll be sending to your email!

Haha exactly!

I would love to do that next. Still doing research on which LS and trans. What did you go with?

@@BuiltDifferentGarage I used the drive train from a 2001 suburban. The transfer case I used was a 231c from a 92 s10 blazer. I bought the engine mounts from advanced adapters and everything else I fabricated. The wiring harness I built from the original suburban harness. I repinned the harness and integrated it with jeep harness. I used a Secondary fuse block to run Ls. Radiator from ebay. The tricky part was setting up the speedo. I send a signal from GM computer to jeep computer. The trick was calculation of the pulses. I used the tuner pro rt for the computer set up. Lots of mind games setting things up. Like the shifters and such. The fuel pump can be confusing. It did the complete swap in under 100 hrs in 6weeks

@@BuiltDifferentGarage I also filmed the swap. Have several hours of process. Some things I didn't video due to time and thinking..did a few moments of well shit....how do I overcome this problem

Thank you very much! I love CJ-8’s, definitely on my list of Jeeps to own one day! TJs are my first favorite. I’ve looked at soft tops that are already out there and I’ve found a couple that may work but it might be easier to have a canvas shop make something to fit it perfectly. We’ll see! Thank you🤟🏼

That is a really cool idea! We will definitely consider that! I appreciate that!

@@BuiltDifferentGarage 2016 coolest feature dodge journey check it out I think the name is drivetv is the RU-vidr I think it's cool a vehicle that has all the storage has the same motor as the newer jk 3.6 it will haul the mail to be front wheel drive

@@todhollandsworth4371 hm I’ll have to check that out for sure! Thanks!

I agree! Hahaha “hanger ons”, that’s funny.

It’s been off and on so many times haha. This next phase of the build I won’t be running a spare. It’ll just be a clean and simple rear set up.

Yes it opens and closes. I don’t have the gas struts on it right now because I had a bed rack on and it would been pointless to have the struts. But yes, still works!

@@BuiltDifferentGarage I have a 77 CJ7 that is a work in progress. At one point a previous owner made a topper to make it a small version of what you built. They didn’t make it so the window will open. I’m going to fix that. Among many other things. Thanks for your answer I look forward to future vids.

@@fredmonroe6042 that sounds cool! No problem, I appreciate it!

Of course that one is more of a joke lol
