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. -

USE CODE "ALPINE15" FOR 15 PERCENT OFF YOUR NEW CHASSIS KIT! This is our updated version of the JHF chassis we previously made. The dimensions and lines are very similar and you can even use the old fixture, you will need to purchase some additional fixture pieces to make it work though. This chassis was designed for trail or competition use as a smaller and lighter option to our Ibex chassis. Fits the popular GM LS engine and any thing smaller will be a great fit. Fits most popular 1-ton or 1/2 ton full width axles are any thing over 60" WMS. Works well with 14" front and 16" rear shocks. This chassis is designed to be 107" wheel base, but can easily work with a wheel base +/- a few more inches. The bare tube chassis weights 455 lbs CNC cut out of 100% DOM steel tube.- Main frame tubes are are 2x.120 DOM steel
- Main chassis tubes are 1-3/4 x .120 DOM steel
- Rocker tubes are 1-3/4 x .188 DOM
