1 Custom LJ Buggy Part 1

9/28/19

Ian begins assembly of a custom LJ chassis and builds a full Jeep out of a pile of metal tubs. Then he adds front and rear axles with cut-to-length control arms, and finishes off the build with coil-over suspension.

2 Custom LJ Buggy Part 2

10/5/19

The custom Jeep JL gets a drivetrain after Ian finds a junkyard LS engine to install. He also fabricates his own exhaust.

3 Custom LJ Buggy Part 3

12/10/19

The chassis on the Jeep JL has been powder coated, so now it's time for final assembly. Ian will bolt everything in place and fabricate the body panels just in time to send it all to paint.

4 Full Float vs. Semi-Float Axle

10/19/19

Larger tires on an off-road rig usually mean broken axles. A 1989 Dodge Ram Charger is in the shop, and Ian shows how to swap out a semi-float axle for the more desirable full-float axle.

5 Custom LJ Buggy Part 4 Final Assembly

11/23/19

The buggy is nearly finished. Its back from paint and all that remains is wiring, plumbing, install the body panels, and the interior. When hes done, we are ready to hit the trails in our custom Jeep LJ.

6 Stretched Side by Side Part 1

11/30/19

Ian doesn't want to fix a beat-up Polaris XP 900. He wants to turn it into a completely different rig. He decides to stretch the side by side and add longer suspension for more travel, but that's just the beginning.

7 Stretched Side by Side Part 2

12/7/19

With the drivetrain and suspension done, its now time to focus on what well need to stay safe on the trails. Ian customizes a roll cage, installs the drivers seat, and adds some tunes.

8 Engine Swap

12/14/19

An '80s Ramcharger is back in the shop for an engine swap. The owner wants a gas-powered Hemi, so Ian swaps the old, tired engine for one from a local junkyard.
