mkbruin Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 If you could have any jeep, what would you choose? cj-6? CJ-8? M715? J8? MJ? Compass? Seriously... take any vehicle from Jeep, build it how you want. My dream is a M715. Cummins I6 NV4500 Atlas 60 front, shaved 14 bolt rear SOA 42" tires.
freakjeep93 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 ive got differnt jeeps built in my head for different situations. but my ideal one would be: jeep mj tj rubi dana 44swith selectable lockers. 33 inch bfg m/ts 97+ upgrade 5.7L hemi v8 5speed part time transfercase with a full time option. and of course rust free
xjrev10 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Well this week I have been thinking how cool it would be.. Old Full Size Jeep truck, don't really matter what year, as long as its got the grill from the 60s. Yep 12 valve cummins with some goodies. Rockwells 8 in stacks rollbar atlas 4-speed 49 in IROKS or 54 Baja TTC. Rediculous yes. Totally crazy, yes. This could be built for under 10k probably. Tires would cost more then probably the truck and the engine, and as long as you didnt splurge on the atlas.... Honestly, what would this rig be good for? I hate mud, this thing would be so huge to drive threw the tight trails of the upper midwest. I would use it for running the spruce swamps up here in the wintertime. That would be its only use probably. Think project "Hot Dog" from JP mag past, but with a Cummins!
terrawombat Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I have been chipping away at my Jeep wish list for a couple of years now. 2006-2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 (can't afford at the moment) 2001 Jeep Cherokee - Last year of the XJ (got one) 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.9L Limited - Last year of the ZJ and limited edition (got one) 1992 Comanche - Last year of the MJ (got one) 1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer - Last year for these (still looking) 1983 Jeep J10 Honcho - (kind of looking) Some others I would like: CJ-8 Scrambler (had one but sold it in 2000) M715 (love these things) M35 or M35a2 (just because) I'll start building them once I have all of them. Each one would have a different build as they each suit a different purpose.
JeepcoMJ Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 An old FC van running an amc 401 with an NV series 6 speed manual trans, converted to a wheeling camper on dana 60s and 38 inch tires.
Dave Stark Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 My dream is a M715. Cummins I6 NV4500 Atlas 60 front, shaved 14 bolt rear SOA 42" tires. :agree: Mine would have to match yours, or at least a J20 with the same drive train...
dasbulliwagen Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 If you could have any jeep, what would you choose? cj-6? CJ-8? M715? J8? MJ? Compass? Seriously... take any vehicle from Jeep, build it how you want. My dream is a M715. Cummins I6 NV4500 Atlas 60 front, shaved 14 bolt rear SOA 42" tires. Me too, but maybe not 42's. I'm thinking 37 or 38's. :thumbsup:
Suuperman Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I have a few. M-725 ambulance converted to a camper/tow rig. 12 valve cummins with D-60 front and 14 bolt or D-70/80 rear. Needs to tow at least 2 jeeps behind it. FC-170 crew cab with either the stock diesel motor in it OR a 4BT. FC-van...motor doesn't matter. Willys wagon with waggy 44's F/R and a 4.0L HO AW-4/231. Daily driver with old school looks but reliable modern (yeah the '90's is modern right? ) drivetrain.

cody4359 Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 id love a srt8 grand cherokee, lower it with bags, 22's-24's, do some power upgrages and go get in trouble with it. also an old FSJ bobbed and on 38-40s mj with 6-8" lift, 33-35 pitbull rockers, rubicon 6sp with the rubi crawler with selectable lockers front and rear also the jeep hurricane concept would be fun

I will send the SRT-8 police to your house to confiscate it from you. I won't allow you to have one if you're going to put 24's on it.
87Warrior Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 jeep mjtj rubi dana 44swith selectable lockers. 33 inch bfg m/ts 97+ upgrade 5.7L hemi v8 5speed part time transfercase with a full time option. and of course rust free :yes: Couldn't agree more. That is why I am building my dream Jeep (less the V8 power and 33's... for now) :banana:
lostissues Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 FC, MB, Willys pickup or maybe wagon, MJ, gladiator and hurricane concepts. 2 of each please, one stock and the other balls to the wall off-road. And as long as we are dreaming and I have cash to throw around I would like a street Cherokee dropped, lowered roof with an insane power plant just to mess with people.
