Internet searches are turning up jeep wimps that bench race on JK forums. This may be a horrible idea, but i have the irrational need to change my YJ now that its done. i have an extra WW2 GPW tub, fenders, CJ2A willys hood and windshield frame etc, and a YJ that is trail ready. I wonder how hard it would be to put the two together.
These parts are not worth restoring back to WW2 glory, so let's not go there.
i have a 4cyl crawler that i hate because it has no power. instead of the cost and complexity of an engine swap, maybe i can lighten this thing up and make it better off road, increase the approach angle, sell off some YJ parts (doors, soft top, cage) and not have this cost too much. although i'm really looking at full hydro steering.
it'd have to be stretched to match my wheelbase and have room for my 6 yr old.
thoughts? opinions? know of anyone who's done this?
picture shown is what i have now.
