  • Can a Jeep CJ 5 fit on a Toyota Mini Truck Boxed frame?
    Toyota frames are boxed and strong. Toyota running gear is also strong and cheap to build.
    Sounds like a perfect project........

      Sorry for the delay. I don’t have the Jeep anymore but the frame was from a 1984 short Bed Toyota 4x4.

    Nice work splicing it all together , I have a cj and a couple different 4runner chassis .was thinking a Chevy chassis until I saw your build . The jeep needs too many parts to complete ,toys need a solid axle swap only .....

    Tell me, how did you go about taking care of the title/vin issues from all of this? I have a '48 CJ-2A replica body that I'm dropping on a 1993 Geo Tracker frame which I own the title to. Do you think I would have any issues with the cops? They're pretty laid back here in NC and I wouldn't be driving it all over the place, mostly around my small town, but I'm worried someone would make a stink about it because the willys replica body came from thin air with no ID.

      in germany, vin is also called 'Fahrgestellnummer' which means chassis-number. Therefore the frame, axles and motor is relevant. The body isnt. But maybe the manufacturer name is changed to your name then.

    I really dont understand why one would want to stretch a jeep tub for use on a toyota 4x4 chassis. Stretching your doors and top should be interesting

    • @macgyvsahr387

      CJ5's are short and older jeep frames are not boxed. I had the Toyota Frame and Solid Axles so I just stretched the Jeep to fit. Gave me a longer wheelbase and strong frame.

      Sure should, new boby mounts, moving spring mounts and shortening the frame.

    Why the hell would you ruin a Jeep body by cuttin it up, and installin a Japanese produced pile of junk chassis underneath it? You smokin meth or some s**t?! That Jeep deserves better than to have an Asian produced anything bolted to it, what a waste of a Jeep....smmfh

    • @ForesthillOutlaws
      @ForesthillOutlaws Рік тому

      That Asian piece of crap frame is fully boxed and dramatically stronger than any stock frame of any of those jeeps of that era. That said a longer wheelbase, plus a stronger frame allows for many more suspension options and axle and tire choices. Hope this clears that up. I love American made steel and products but definitely no reason to trash on someone’s project using excellent steel as well.
