WARNING!! This project will cover the following CONTROVERSIAL SUBJECT MATTER:
-Jeep Pickup Conversions
-Long Wheelbase Jeeps
-Jeeps with V8 Engines
-Jeeps built after 1987
I'm hoping we can PLEASE put all our disagreements aside and enjoy what will be a very ambitious and hopefully very fun series of builds!

First of the 4 engines is ready for primer. Moving on to the 5.2 next...

It seems more interesting, then in the start!

Brandon H
Don't worry István, it will only get crazier form here!
27 October 2022, 11:56
István Szücs
Brandon, I hope so!

Another engine ready for paint

A very interesting project.

Finally, all of the sanding and prep is done! Paint this weekend, hopefully!

Interesting a TJ pick-up ,watching 👀 .in order to move stuff around in my "82" CJ I had to remove both the passenger and rear seat .

István Szücs
You are so crazy, man! I hope I will see the engine painted soon!
6 December 2022, 14:29
Brandon H
And the powertrains are done! Next stage will likely be the pickup conversions for the bodies... I figure it will be easier to match the chassis length to the modified body rather than vice versa.

Brandon H
Some better photos of the engines before they're installed in each truck

Time to start laying out the measurements for the new wheelbases and deciding on the cut lines.
22 December 2022, 16:39
Brandon H
Three out of four tubs cut up now! Once the last is done, I'll start drawing up the parts for the pickup conversions.

Long hours working with my "favorite" modeling program are starting to pay off. Two of the four truck beds are taking shape!

Back to making progress! Printer is feeling a bit more cooperative lately

This is a huge project! I'd going nuts to build all of them parallel. I like picture #33 with your engine line up. Cool.
9 March 2023, 05:32
Brandon H
Thank you Christian! It's a lot to manage, juggling all of these builds at once... need to make sure I don't end up with '06 doors on a '81 body and whatnot....

Brandon H
Finished blending the back walls onto the two pickup-style cabs. Next, I'll work on the two long-tub Scramblers.

This is Madness... Again!

Watching this 🤘

Wow Brandon your a machine!
Do you manage to eat and sleep? 😁
15 March 2023, 06:47
Brandon H
Welcome, gentlemen!
You'd be surprised how little sleep you need when you huff this much glue 😉
15 March 2023, 12:32
Brandon H
Getting to the exciting part - now I'm able to start mocking up each truck with the new parts
18 March 2023, 17:58
Brandon H
CJ8 body done for now. Once I finish blending the YJ8 tub, I'll hit everything with primer and look for any areas that need correcting
28 March 2023, 13:57
Brandon H
Primer is on! It's exciting to see these trucks suddenly looking more real now that they're in monotone.
7 April 2023, 17:54
Dennis
Blinker fluid? What is this stuff originaly good for? Never seen any of this here in germany 🤔
9 April 2023, 17:51
Brandon H
Working on making the final corrections to the blending on the bodies, and hiding some small magnets to hold the doors and hardtops in place. Hoping to move on to the chassis mods soon!
17 April 2023, 14:31
Brandon H
Turning my attention to the frames now. Each will be be cut and extended to match its respective new wheelbase.

Oh I'm late, but I'm watching~ 🙂
6 May 2023, 16:07
Brandon H
Haha, glad to have you on board!
8 May 2023, 11:07
Brandon H
Productive weekend - Most of the work for extending the frames is now complete
8 May 2023, 11:27
Villiers de Vos
Very nice and steady progress.
8 May 2023, 12:15
Brandon H
Indeed, slowly but surely, it's getting there!
8 May 2023, 16:08
Nigel Chapman
Nice work
8 May 2023, 19:25
Brandon H
Thanks Nigel!

I'm just happy they've all come out mostly straight so far!
9 May 2023, 10:50
Brandon H
Working on some test fits for the powertrains now that the frames are completed. I've got some work to do...
12 May 2023, 12:00
István Szücs
The Hemi fulfills the engine bay nicely...
12 May 2023, 14:47
Brandon H
A little too nicely! I'm still not convinced it's really 1:24...
14 May 2023, 13:45
Brandon H
Mockups in progress to check the wheelbases - big step for this project!
15 May 2023, 12:37
MS K
As usual, your work is insane 😎
10 June 2023, 08:41
Brandon H
Back at it! Picking up where I left off, fitting the suspension and powertrain components to the modified frames

Realy great work my friend! Superb

So awesome!!

This chassis with the installed engine looks great.
14 November 2023, 05:23
Brandon H
Thanks guys, hoping to have all four rolling chassis done and painted in the next few weeks.
14 November 2023, 12:21
Tim A
Ambitious as always.
14 November 2023, 16:06
Tom ...
just caught up. More Brandon Building Brilliance! In like Flynn.
14 November 2023, 19:39
István Szücs
Good to the progress here!
14 November 2023, 20:11
Brandon H
Finally, getting some color laid down!
1 December 2023, 13:46
Nigel Chapman
Nice!!
1 December 2023, 16:47
Brandon H
Thanks Nigel, more to come soon. Hoping to have all four chassis assembled and photographed by the end of the weekend.
1 December 2023, 17:38
István Szücs
Brandon, I'm waiting...
1 December 2023, 20:18
Brandon H
Well my weekend wasn't as productive as I'd hoped, at least for this project. None of the chassis are all the way done yet, but some are in better shape than others. Here's what I still need to address:

CJ8 - Finish winch detail, fix height issue in rear, touch up any damaged paint
YJ8 - Fix exhaust hanger, also need a few spot touchups
TJ8 - Still needs brake lines fab'd, revisit exhaust placement, paint touchups
JK8 - Investigate rear axle fitment, address front axle/exhaust interference, resolve rear bumper/exhaust fitment, connect existing brake lines, paint touchups

Gonna take some time to get everything sorted out... but this is to be expected when a build involves so much custom work
4 December 2023, 15:58
Brandon H
And apologies for the poor lighting on this side of my studio... I am pleased to report that I'm at least thrilled with how my color choices look in person (wheels etc.)
4 December 2023, 16:01
István Szücs
The YJ8 looks great with those rims! The others are also fantastic!
4 December 2023, 16:34
Brandon H
Thanks István! Very excited about how the YJ is coming along... more top-trim stuff to come. I think that one might end up being the best of the bunch.
4 December 2023, 18:46
Brandon H
With some other projects wrapped up, I'm back at it with the Jeeps. Two chassis all the way finished now (these only needed some minor adjustments). The other two will need some extensive exhaust rework yet.

Nice appropriate plates on the CJ and YJ.
18 February, 21:25
Brandon H
The plates often get the most thought out of anything no my builds haha

TJ and JK frames are done now too. Each truck now only needs the body and interior parts completed. Though I had wanted to do them all in series, I now think I'll have much better luck doing them one at a time.
19 February, 18:03
Brandon H
Many irons in the fire... attention back on this one for now. Most parts just need clean up before paint; a few will get some minor modifications first.
6 March, 15:17
Brandon H
One down, three to go! I'll post a different album with more completed pictures for the YJ8
29 April, 17:12
Christian W
This looks pretty good. The color, rims and decor looking classic. Like it.
29 April, 19:35
Nigel Chapman
Looks suberb. Like the rear bed

Thanks guys!
