So as the summer is in full swing and the Busa will be rolling out very soon I have taken on a new little sort of mini project.
So my daily for the past 4 years has been my beloved 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Dually with the Duramax Diesel.
The truck has seen its fair share of day to day abuse. It is lifted and rolls on 35”s and it’s just all around harsh on the truck. I have been wanting for some time to do injector upgrades along with turbo core and other items. Rather than piece it out little by little I decided “let me get a stand in daily” so I can take the truck off the road for a year or more to do all the work with out having to half-ass it.
So I found a rough shaped 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I have always wanted a Jeep since I was a kid and the price was right so I figured screw it.
Of course I can’t drive or ride anything that is raggity so it had to undergo some work before hitting the road.
It is a 2.5 auto which is deathly slow especially after coming from my straight piped and tuned duramax with the boost turned up.
The frame is broken in 2 areas and the front diff was bent along with some body rot. I am on a time constraint as the tires on my pickup only have about 2 weeks of life left so this project has to be wrapped up quickly.
Here is how it looked when I found it...
