Muscle & Style

This is when I felt that the project wasn't so crazy after all!!!

Anyone can bring the kids to soccer or get ice cream in the family car, but how many can haul the team around. It's like a school Bus, that my kids just love and so do their friends.

That factory 4cyl just wasn't going to do.

Sometimes it is best to work alone without your neighbors when doing this much cutting and Welding

Sometimes we need to use whatever we can find for that extra hand.

I was considering airbrushing in the seam line like stiches to show people where I mate the two bodies together

Introduction / Overview:
Over the last several years I have been building what I and many others consider a one of a kind Four Door Jeep Wrangler. For me I just didn’t like the size and seating capacity of the new Four Door JK Wrangler and so I fixed the problem and built my own!!!

Yep, since I started this custom build I have seen a few similar on the web, but nothing like my project build in regards to design, function and with that factory production look. It would have been easy for me to just box in the frame, buy some side panels, throw some sheet metal down and call it good. I didn't want to do that and focused on the many details that the factory may of considered by using a factory frame or should I say frames and body mounts. I just wanted to maintain a clean developed look; and then designed factory looking rear doors, interior panels and so much more. It's truly in the details that set me apart from the rest.

Nice, I'm surprised it came with a 4 cyl! You have to buy foreign to get a 4 cyl in a small truck today. Did you start building that before the 4 door Jeeo came out? Did they copy you?
