Project Vehicles
Refine By Make and Model:
-
1982 GMC 2500 - The Truck GM Never Built: Part 1
This month, the engine compartment is going to see a bunch of new parts, and next time, the suspension and axles are going to be addressed. It should be one killer fullsize 4x4 when completed.
-
2013 Jeep Wrangler JK - Project Private JK
Our plan for the little green Jeep is to build it up -- mildly at first, like any new Jeep owner should.
-
Diesel Challenge Build-Off - Part 4
As you already know, the whole idea behind our diesel challenge build-off is to give a comparison between building a bog truck and a race truck.
-
-
Axial Rubicon RC Jeep Build: Part 3
Customizing Jp's Axial Rubicon
-
2006 Ford F-150 - Project Fast-150: Part 2
We continue to work on our FAST-150 2WD Prerunner project. This month, we turned our attention to the tail of the truck. It was time to jettison the factory bumper and low-hanging receiver hitch.
-
1985 GM M1008 - GI Gyp: Part 5
This time around we’re getting the four-wheel-drive to work as well as increasing traction, performance, and adding a little protection where it’s needed.
-
The Rescued Jeep Wrangler - Part 8
The end is near! OK. This isn’t some doomsday prophecy, but rather a proclamation that we are almost ready to get our Rescued Wrangler project in the dirt.
-
2001 Land Rover Discovery II - Discarded Discovery: Part 1
We love a good deal and aren’t afraid of hard work, so when a 2001 Land Rover Discovery II was dangled in front of us for a mere $500 we jumped at the chance.
-
The Mud Life Buggy Is Slo No Mo!
After a few beers and a long discussion about why his Cummins has great off-road performance, Ronnie and I made our way over to the Mud Life buggy since it’s fitted with the same diesel engine.
-
1972 Jeep J4000 - Project FarmHaul: Part 1
I was super-close to pulling the trigger on a 440-powered ’75 Dodge W200 4x4 when I stumbled across a ’72 J4000 pickup on Craigslist.
-
2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - Lucky ’13: Part 2
The Currie crew added more upgrades in the form of new rolling stock, improved shocks, and heavy-duty Currie JK-specific Dana 44 front and rear axle housings.
-
The Rescued Jeep Wrangler - Part 7
With 2½-ton Rockwell axles affixed under the Jeep, one hurdle we had to get over was what to do with our steering. As you may recall from our previous installments, we extended the front axle a lot.
-
1985 GM M1008 - GI Gyp: Part 4
A ram-assist steering system is a great addition to any 4x4 with tires larger than 35-37 inches tall, especially if the vehicle is used in slow-technical or high-speed off-road situations.
-
2006 Ford F-150 - Project Fast-150
With our recent addition of a JD Fabrication long-travel front suspension, it was time to address the rear axle and suspension.
