HUGE CHANGES TO OUR JEEP YJ | PROJECT MISFIT

[@joshkline7796]

Awesome build. I have a sm465 and a 4.3:1 t-case behind a 5.3l LM7 in my '68 Commando. I run 4.56 gears with 39" km3s, and it crawls very well, on Fordyce and Rubicon trails, and it cruises the freeway at 75 mph with ease. Motor revs about 2800 rpm at 70 mph. Just wanted to share that if your still deciding on gears. Love the channel.

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Thanks! That is great info, we appreciate that! Still haven’t decided on gears but that helps a lot!

[@spener1313]

I like dads project Datsun in the background, he's got good taste 😉

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

It’s actually my brother’s car!

[@vicgustafson8514]

I'm not a 20 inch wheel fan but those wheels could change my mind. I think 4:56 or 4:88 would work with the doubler. More beef at the pinion also. I think I remember Rory say he runs 4:10 with his doubler on 40's. Interested to see what you go with.

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Agreed! After some research I think 4.88 or 4.56 may be the best option.

[@vicgustafson8514]

@@BuiltDifferentGarage Don't laugh too hard but I ended up buying another project YJ. One I have is almost done and I think I'm cutting the cab and making a seven foot bed for the the newest addition. Only info I can find is 57 inches from cowl to the end of the cab. This sound right to you?

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Oh awesome! Let me get some measurements!

[@reincarnated_as_a_slime]

dark red or black or black cherry would be awesome paint. but in end it is your jeep so pick a color you like.good work so far on the jeep looking towards more releases.remember have fun

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Appreciate it!! I think dark red or black cherry would look awesome.

[@briancanisales8360]

Always been a fan of root beer brown on older 4x4’s love the build. Building a YJ of my own, nothing crazy just mild

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Oooh root beer would be sweeeet! Good luck with your YJ build!!

[@jadebrecks]

You can't go wrong with a burnt orange paint job!

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Orange is one of my favorite colors. I’d be down for that👀

[@justinchoate8762]

I say orange myself

[@SamMatter]

I see im alone with this suggestion, but Project Misfit to me feels like this rough and tough old school trail service rig. A patina paint job that's just perfectly rough around the edges speaks to me! plus shiny paint causes stress and we don't need Rod working Overtime buffing that jeep after dragging it through branches!

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Dude I agree! It would make things easier in the long run and body work wouldn't have to be perfect either haha. Rod would stress out way too much with a shiny jeep on the trail lmao. A patina paint is something we have talked about. What color scheme you thinking?

[@SamMatter]

@@BuiltDifferentGarage possibilities are endless, but I love the look of Fred Williams summer camp jeep.

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

@@SamMatter That Jeep is one of my favorite builds

[@stevev3962]

Looks good, wheels are nice. Not usually a fan of 20s but with 42s they look good. Bright solid colors on a trail Jeep. Orange Crush is a great color found on my 13 Jk Or something like a grabber blue, plum crazy , or geko green. No metallics.

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Definitely no metallics! I’d love to do a green of some sort.

[@long-jeep]

this will be the perfect trail rig for your dad so he doesn't have to beat up his JK

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Agreed!

[@charlesthomas6210]

Paint it. Go Mango the color is awesome

[@Gunmetalbluejeeptjs]

Pq7 bedliner

[@larrytrudell8507]

blackcherry paint would look cool

[@Ummm2521]

Do a gun metal gray

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Definitely a color we have talked about!

[@lukewalker1116]

your tj done?

[@BuiltDifferentGarage]

Nope but very close! We are waiting for a few more parts to show up and then we can put it back together!

[@chadalcock7275]

Jeeps are never done.
