  • I thought previously I had this jeep body work in a useable condition but a revisit with my heavy equipment was much needed. The supposedly known weak unibody will leave you a little impressed. New camera and editing equipment was all set up wrong for the windy conditions. Just a common rookie mistake. Thanks for the view!

    It's a jeep. That's some fine body work for what it is. After the alloys went on it, it looked great to me. White is very forgiving. I second what another person said. You needed some trees to chain to. But you got it done regardless. Can't wait for the next video.

    We have rust up north here. We just learn to live with it and beat it back as needed

    It's wild how much you have to over pull sometimes to keep it from springing back. I've over pulled stuff several inches just to get it to stay where it belongs. Source: am body guy by trade, hick that drives beaters by birth. Haha

    Sometjing sorta similar happened to my 5.9 ZJ.. hit a 2010 ford focus at like maybe 10mph didnt do too much dmg though to me.. but i hit a deer at 65mph bout 3 years ago.. destroyed my front end.. but nothing CRAZY.
    But when i tried to put a ARB bumper on.. then it showed.. my frame was off by 1.4 of an inch or a tad less.. so the left side was harder to bolt on.. and the gaps were a tad off.. wasnt as major as yours though.
    And it wasnt nlticable with the plastic stuff on.. but the arb bumper it was noticable until i fixed it.

    I think loosening all of the bolts you can before you start pulling may help.

    My XJ has never been in a wreck and most those gaps are still off at least a little bit.

      Guarantee they were cheap. Occasionally piece one together to make a buck. Those 5.2 and 5.9 engines are hard to kill. Transmissions not so much. 😔😔😔😔
