fellas , that is a dream come true.

We some friends boughta jeep and we are planning to pimp it now

need some serious help in modifications , please post your thoughts here.

This the one which we bought , the tires have 10 % of the life left , Body have 25 % of the life left , but engine has 95 to 98 % of the life left.

A perfect jeep to start the work

we also found an awsome tinker worker who is a specialist in jeep modification.

Buddy , we just bought the jeep a few days back , paid around 25,000 INR

will be finalizing the design by next week

foby.sebastian · 25th October 2009, 13:00

This one is the inspiration

So we got the Jeep now , thats all what I can say now

BTW

we saw 4 alloys + tyres , but I forgot the size of the tyre

it was previously used on Endavour

Does Endeavour siuts on the jeep ?

We also have plans to itegrate power steering to it ?

May I know the cost and for what kind of power steering should i search for ?

Oh Man! its so simple and still looks excellent.

Dont know if the PCD matches from endeavor, but if does then it will be super cool.

I always like big wheels!

So, Foby gets bitten by the CJ bug!

Wish you a great experience, Foby!

I would suggest you get in touch with "Xtreme power", who is into this big time. I reckon he has an ongoing project, similar to this, but on fast track!

OT:
Shouldn't the title reflect that this is a WIP?

The title is conveying what Foby wants the vehicle to be. I came in here expecting that the work was completed, but the vehicle has just been brought and designs being finalized.

Just my thought!

pramodkumar · 26th October 2009, 10:23

Foby, This one is a 4X4?

Can you give other details like the model, Odo reading etc..

Did you buy this one from trichur?

Exactly

And hence it wont mind bigger wider tyres.

Foby; If you are retaining the stock engine,dont do for too wide tyres IMHO.
Would suggest a Bolero engine

I bought it from a private estate near to barathapuzha , Shornur

he is 1987

Sice that jeep was used to smuggle sand from Bharathapuzha , the engine condition was awsome. oil preassue was perfect.

As per my requierment the tyre life was 10 - 5 % left

There was no running board.

Steering was in pathetic condition.

jumping , unscrewed back seats

second gear slip.

Ramie, Bir jee that is his inspiration not the final result, that belongs to nahal another Bhpian.

Foby: The title is little misleading, how are yoyu going to convert a jeep to sports model? Sports model is a slang used for street cars (correct me if i am wrong), BTW could you share the list of proposed mods besides tinkering and alloys. Since you have mentioned the engine has 98% life i am sure you are not planning to replace that, so how sports? Your inspiration has a supra twin turbo engine on it.
