Building a Custom Backhalf Frame for the Jeep Wrangler Ultra4 Build - Ep 6

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Moving along on the Jeep Wrangler JK King of the Hammers build, its time to make a custom back half frame! The rear frame of the JK Wrangler is a great setup when stock, but once you start trying to fit coilovers and bypass shocks it becomes very space limited. There are a handful of backhalf kits available, however we really didnt need the conventional "JK" parts. We grabbed some 3x2 square tubing and got to work! We were able to raise the frame up, as well as in, both giving us clearance for the axle and suspension.

Shortly after finishing up the rear frame, our new torque convertor and flexplate from TCI came in.
Running a crate LS3 and a ReidTH400 combo is a super strong, yet simple combo. We pulled the trans and engine, installed the new flywheel and TC and buttoned everything up! A fresh transmission pan and gasket as well as a locking Dipstick from Lokar were installed.
Trick'd Toys made us up some fishplates, as well as some other custom gussets for future use in the build. www.trickdtoys...
Its time to continue on, chipping away at the work list, with each day getting closer and closer to King of the Hammers 2024. Whether you are building a street Jeep, a moderate Offroad rig, race jeep, a full blown buggy, or just want to see what is involved in a King of the Hammers build, we have you covered with tips along the way!
Thanks for watching!!

just wanted to mention that it looks like you’ve lost a substantial amount of weight, youre lookin good man!
NOBODY EVER BUILDS A 2 DOOR JK. love it
It is the most common for race jeeps
Loving this build but where is Cassie at?!
Can you please put that back half measurements in the comments or description for anyone who wants to diy it
Looking good, Ben! Love how it’s coming together #KOHorBust 😀🤘🏻
Ben and Mike “Sock’n and Croc’n with a little welding 😂”. Love it.
I love the progress your channel has had from installing in your driveway and under a carport to now have a sick shop with ever tool needed to build a KOH Jeep!
Absolutely loving this build and the direction your going… you’ve given me a few ideas to try and make work on my Gladiator…
Also what about a garage update? Specifically your Gladiator??
Keep up the incredible work!! 👍
Great video wish they were longer
Holy sh;7 I haven’t seen any of your videos in over a year…..bro you look way different ! Nice job!!!
You should pick up a Portacool evaporative cooler. When I lived in Oklahoma, I had one in my shop, it makes a world of difference when it's 100+ degrees.
Love the build! Doing awesome. I do miss cassy tho ;)
It's coming along nicely. I can't believe how clean the body is. Obviously not a Michigan Jeep. 😂
It was a little sad cutting it up 😅, but a nice clean tub has been extremely helpful lol
Simply awesome so far... 👍👍🇦🇺
Lol😂last time we spoke. Didn’t we talk about you needed to build this love it !
Just maybe you need a driver ? I know a guy !!! 😂
New word of the day “bolt hole” 😂 … example “Don’t be such a bolt hole Ben”
I'm loving this build! Great job!

Definitely a badass build so far. Seems like you guys are really trying to think everything through as thoroughly as possible. There’s still a ton of time until KOH but I really hope you get it done before you get to those last few weeks where you have to crunch hard. Always hate seeing builds rushed at the end because of poor planning. Don’t think that’ll happen to you guys!
I’m really hoping to avoid that. We have a ton left to do, but we should be good! I really don’t want to rush at the end and have a small detail that was missed end our race.
@@JKGearandGadgets yea that’s definitely a solid mentality. It’s coming along very nicely and I’m sure in the end it’ll look badass and perform insanely well. Keep it up Ben!
