If this forum were full of purists, it would be a small forum.

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable

I'm so confused. I was really digging this build.
I always took the "bubba" comments as just tongue in cheek fun. Take a look at my build/Jeeps. If this forum was full of purists, they would have thrown me out two years ago! Post up man!

I can Bubba things and I can return a vehicle that was as it was off the assembly line. The cost is not really a factor.

A mod done to keep a Jeep going is one thing. A cobbled-together mess of Bubba work is something entirely different. The Bubba who owned Ol' Unreliable at one time apparently had three tools: a big screwdriver, a hammer, and a 5-gallon bucket of RTV silicone. And I'm not sure about the hammer.

I'm sorry if you got ticked off. None of my Jeeps have ever been stock. They just do what they are supposed to do.

Bryan,
I'm not sure where you're coming from. I see no "Boo-hooing" or "Bubba" comments in your thread. In fact, every comment has been positive, appreciative and approving of your build. |

I am sorry you have had some bad experiences on the forum. I hope you choose to keep posting because this is one of my favorite build threads on the forum.

Maybe i need to move my project to the modified section? Or just stop posting on this page...pretty much a waste of time. Just lots of people here boo-hooing about “bubba”... news flash guys, if it weren’t for “bubba” most of these Jeeps would have been soup cans decades ago. I, for one can appreciate the guy who couldn’t afford or didn’t have the ability to do it “just right” but made it happen and kept his Jeep jeeping. Lots of old Jeep snobs here.

Found these wheels on the list so I grabbed em up and mounted my 33x10.50s on em. I really dig it, have full lock to lock steering as well.

finally moving forward again on my project. I got seriously derailed spending over a month in Wisconsin on a project for work, and finishing up my barn project. But alas I am back to it. I got my rubbers yesterday! I went with a 33x10.50 dick cepek extreme country. I was seriously pondering going with 34" swampers like rick g, but I also wanted a radial. Im sure my steering radius will suffer, but meh....i can deal with that

Thanks for the tip, I always was under the impression the nylon gears didn’t hold up! I’ve put a few of these together with this setup, but none are even close to that mileage, I guess time will tell!

Sure didn’t check that..lol prob should... what’s a couple more holes to close up! I’m going to repaint the emblems to go with whatever color I use, I’m not a fan of any chrome, the Jeep will either be grey with black stuff or pasture type green with a yellowish-whiteish stuff...or something else entirely lol
