I Cut The Entire Rear End Off My Jeep Now What?

[@Bonsi57]

The hard work will pay off once you are back on the trails. Thanks for keeping us updated. Looking for to seeing Big Bird in action.

[@kevinblock2307]

Wow a lot of work seems to be paying off..I can’t wait to see the end result. You guys are kicking butt getting rid of that rust

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!

[@ThePuresmithroader]

Nice to see someone as stubborn as I am about working on my Jeep keep it up don’t let a good Jeep disappear

[@thelaC100]

Man I’m anxiously waiting for the final reveal . Keep on keeping on man

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks! I’m anxious myself lol

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man!

[@artillerybuff2000]

It's coming along, but wholly smokes, that's a lot of work! I'm enjoying this series, thank you!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya it was a bit more than I expected too but there’s no going back now lol

[@davelamb3303]

Awesome, getting closer to finishing and trail season is almost here, cheers!

[@jabawockys]

Enjoying very much watching your channel from Vancouver- Thanks and Peace!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks for watching!!

[@Wannaridebikes]

Using a go pro welding. My friend kept replacing the lenses I simply was there and said watch this. I grabbed a piece of glass and placed it in front of of his go pro. He said later that night he moved it around but welded up a frame. That hooked up to his tripod for the glass to sit in front of his camera. Now he uses it all the time and he has not replaced a go pro lense in two years

[@RedRabbit4230]

Damn that's AWESOME!!!

[@DanRogers-m9u]

Looking good Mike😮 keep up the good work I've been there it will all come together at least you got a garage to work in had to fix mine outside LOL

[@stephenwest798]

Rust is a curse on the working man who has to do his own work, but as I watch it reminds me of why I'm pulling the body off the frame when I do my TJ just as I did my CJ5, easier to do the body and the frame when you don't have everything in the way. You're gaining but it does take time but will be worth it in the end.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Ya I wish we had the space to do it with the body completely off. Would make for a much easier repair but you gotta work with what you got. It’s an upgrade from working in the parking lot like I always do lol

[@stephenwest798]

Yea I know what you mean I worked out in the weather for years but finally was able to afford a garage which I built with a little help from friends and family, makes life a lot easier and warmer also as it is heated. However, if I break on the trail like everyone else it is repair or tow until it is on the trailer and back into the garage.@@SmokinMonkeyOG

[@mollypolly7]

I have the same headlights..they are a great upgrade from stock. I really thank you for making this videos. you do a terrific job with describing step after step of your work.

[@stevewhitley3843]

Things are coming along nicely

[@attimus02]

It’s coming along nicely. I was on vacation and I’m catching up. They sell those fenders on Amazon and quadratec for $150 each, but they will just get banged up again

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

375$ in Canada lol

[@attimus02]

@@SmokinMonkeyOG whoa! that's a bit much. I'd be checking those junk yards, but I watched your later videos and it looks like you have something planning. I'm looking forward to see what you end up with.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Yup I actually already replaced them. Video will be up soon

[@austin3538]

Doing good work

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks!

[@NitrousExpressCoyote]

Can’t wait to see her in action again. If you ever need the engine or trans rebuilt let me know. I’ll fly out and have it done in 2 days. 🙌🏽 or anything rebuilt for that matter.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man lol Might take you up on that one day lol

[@NitrousExpressCoyote]

Been a certified Master Tech’ for 21 years. Been wrenching 25 years 🤙🏽 I got you 😂

Transforming into the Phoenix

[@rileyscott9498]

You are welcome

[@Driven716]

Heat or spray of Kroil on top and from bottom, 30 minutes and those fastners of your hard top are coming out like butter. Don't use WD40 or PB.

[@lucasgoncalves9583]

Big bird is morphing!

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Haha yup time for a makeover

[@RedRabbit4230]

Hey Mike just a WILD THOUGHT HERE. On the "Rebirthing" of BIG BIRD I WAS THINKING, I BELIEVE TODD AND YOURSELF SHOULD GO OUT ON THE INITIAL JOURNEY / MAIDEN VOYAGE, IT'S TERMINATOR BODY VOYAGE... The 2 of you rebuilt B.B. so i just felt it rigt the 2 of you should have the FIRST RIDE BACK OUT...

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

That’s the plan. But I believe Todd will be in his rig

[@RedRabbit4230]

@SmokinMonkeyOG yea that's what he said. Go have fun guys.

[@RedRabbit4230]

Hey Monkey/ Mike , lol I KNOW you really DIDNT WANT TO SALE BIRD, BUT I TRIED. If i would hav bought her from you, she would have worn DIAMOND PLATING 9/10 CHANCES UNDERNEATH THE FLOOR PANS... YOUR DOING 1 HELLA JOB. I've got enough body blocks to give ya a 3" lift all around, but that's here in BAMA. ROLL TIDE ROLL

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man!! I actually have the rest of the body lift blocks just not the rear ones for some reason lol

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

I enjoy the rebuild..but wouldn't it have been cheaper to acquire a better condition TJ?

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Definitely not. Around here a clean one goes for around 10K and it will still have some rust here and there. If I bought one from down south maybe but that would cost even more

[@eddievelez2699]

She is looking good….

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Thanks man

[@rileyscott9498]

Man you are going to shit when you get to drive big bird 🐦 it is going to be better than when you first got the Jeep i am proud of what you two have done to the Jeep keep up the awesome work

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

I know lol it’s going to be like a different jeep all together lol 😂 thanks!

[@miniontj9497]

good content but you could have bought a use tub for this much trouble

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

You find me a used tub with zero rust for $1500 I’ll buy it

[@miniontj9497]

forgot you were in Canada, All day long in Georgia @@SmokinMonkeyOG

[@NEWFSTAH]

DAMN! This is better than Love It Or List It. Except, you're MUCH hotter.

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Lmao 😂

[@rileyscott9498]

She what's up with you i have a great idea for you buy you a locka locker for your front hogs head and your jeep will be so much better and you can Go up climbs so much easier and it takes away so much stress on your components and the cost is only about 250 bucks

[@SmokinMonkeyOG]

Maybe one day
