My Black 2004 LJ, finally gave up to many ranch miles and hunting seasons, just by chance I ran into a wrecked 2014 Jeep very cheap most of the damage was superficial Fenders, Doors, Front Grill and Bumper, Seats, All bolt on stuff, been gathering parts for the last few months from different Junk Yards, bolting it all together put a Winch on the front, and 2 1/2" lift kit and am building my rear Basket with Winch for the back to haul game should have it ready for hunting season here's what it looks like so far with parts from 2014 to 2018 plus some after market stuff i found.

Looks Great Man. That is the way to Roll especially with the price of Used Jeeps .

I had a 2006 unlimited like this.
I sold it 2 years ago with 67000 miles on it.
It was a Rubicon model, auto trans, hard top, Warn winch.
In areas having snow and ice, just having 4 wheel drive and good tires can get you into big trouble.

Good on you. Looks really great. I envy you.

Have any before repairs pics.

Final result looks fantastic!

In fact way too good for Ranch Duty.

LouisB,

Didn't think to take before pic's didn't think it would turn out this well. Rio7

good looking rig, hope you do a lot of killing stuff out of it

44mc, When it cools off i'll pull off the front doors for Trapping and Hunting season, I really dislike doors everyone slams the damn things without thinking, Rio7

JK's are a solid Jeep, but that front is just, well, just horrible.

How a front should look.

sactoller, I agree, but no one and I mean no has the parts, here in South Texas, this nose job was on a wrecked jeep and it's all heavy steel, got the ugly damn hood off the same 2016 Jeep, once you go older than 2018 parts start getting hard to find in the junk yards down here on the Border. and time had me backed up need the jeep for hunting season.

I hear you..........

Just keep in mind you will probably experience heating/cooling issues.

Great results for a "One Piece at a Time" Jeep. It's my bias, but when I think Jeep, I'm thinking along the lines of your previous...or actually the CJ7's.

When I was a kid I really wanted a Scrambler...still do.

sactoller, After blowing up my Black LJ I am very aware of heating issues, and the Junk Yard Jeep is running Cool, I ran it 3 miles in Low 4-wheel drive sugar sand out side temp was 103 Deg. Tranny or Engine never went above normal, the A.C. works better than any thing else i have. Hope it stays that way. Rio7

JCMCUBIC, About 10 years ago my son bought a 82 Scrambler, that was well cared for, he did a body off restore on it took him about a year, he loves it. I tried to buy it from him but he won't talk about it.

Good deal.
