We have developed a new chassis kit built around an LJ tub. The concept is to build a all-out no compromise buggy that will use TJ/LJ doors, windshield, Top etc. This will be full enclosed with functional doors and a top and all the amenities of a TJ jeep.
You will need to cut up a TJ/LJ tub and use the cowl, door surrounds, tub top rail and tail gate surround. You dont need an actual LJ tub, a TJ tub will work, but you will need some short pieces of the rear top rail for the soft top to attach. You would also use the windshield, tailgate, hood and grill. We have fiberglass cowls, hood and grills available.
Our initial design is based on an LJ tub length with 111" wheel base. This uses the same proven suspension geometry with the subframe and all the suspension brackets we use on our Ibex buggy kits. The rear suspension uses 36" trailing arms in either a single or dual shock configuration. The 111" wheel base version is able to use a factory TJ gas tank behind the rear axle, we have a mounting skidplate and mounting brackets available.
We have also developed a 115" wheel base version which moves the axle back 4" using 40" trailing arms. A stock TJ gas tank does not fit, but our 18 gallon Ibex tank does fit.
The main frame is constructed of 2 x 3 x .120 steel tube, rocker tubes are 2 x 3x .188 steel tube, the rear fenders are 2 x 2 x .120 tube and the main cage is 2 x .120 DOM tube. The front tubes and other tubes shown in grey are 1-3/4 x .120 DOM. This will be be a full CNC cut and mandrel bent weld it yourself kit, or we can weld it for you.
We plan on making optional rear configurations that are TJ tub length and a comp cut version, but that will not fit a full top.
Chassis will via LTL freight, typical cost is $400 to a commercial address with a loading doc, forklift or pick up at the local terminal.
Solid base to build your Ibex chassis or build your own chassis. Constructed of exclusive XT100 3/16 high strength 100KSI yield steel plate. Integrates all 8 chassis suspension link mounts and transmission cross-member. All link mounts are made for 2-5/8 width joints with 5/8 bolts, all link mounts include weld washers to double up the bolt hole thickness to 3/8″. Includes all 8 suspension joint bolts that are 5/8 x 4.5 grade 8 flange bolts and flange lock nuts. This was designed for our Ibex chassis kit and with all 8 links at 36" center to center yields a 110" wheel base. Ideal for LS based auto transmission configurations with a single or dual speed transfer case. The standard configuration is a triangulated 4 link front, we do offer an optional 3-link front where the front upper link can be built on either side. **These must ship LTL freight and typically cost $150-$200** Ships on 40 x 42 x 15 pallet, ~200 lbs.
