I have a 68 J3000, in great condition but needs some extras to improve it. I was wondering where you get your parts from, maybe what websites you are looking at to find them. I have just recently purchased this Jeep at a steal and I am wanting to spruce it up. If you don't mind pointing me in the direction I need to go.
@swiftyride Teamgrandwagoneer was a website that I used for anything cab related like weather stripping, glass, ect. All of the body and bed on this was 100% rust free so I never had to look for body panels. Hope this was some help
@05ls2goat Anytime :D. Haha plan on it... Right now the J10 is sitting so it just got 40's put on it to get it moving. The J20 is getting restored and will be getting a Cummins put in it.
Hello queria to know if me poodes to spend photos of the gladiator. ` Because estoyy arming one .. thank you my e-mail is yacco.05@hotmail.com .. my Englishman is very bad .. thank you
@ledudeSansnom A black 2 door JK is hardly a piece of shit! lol Actually, If I were to buy a new wrangler to DD it would be exactly that! Right now I DD a black 1988 YJ on 33" bfg mud terrains, and its a great beater but needs some more punch. In the spring when my GTO and the gladiator come out to play i'm going to shove the YJ in the garage and swap in an 8.8 and 4bt.
@05ls2goat Haha i know , im in love with my jk , the only thing i dislike its that my beast is still stock , but .. hes young! not even one year old so before customising ill use what i paid for in this case , suspension ,tires n the ugly mags !. i was just saying that compared to your truck , my jk is reallyyyy soft haha! have a nice day!
@69amcya70 It was originally a 232 with a 3 speed on the floor. If it were an original 360, that is what would have stayed in it. My family is a die hard Jeep and Chevy family so to me, it wasnt too much of a sin to put an almost 500hp sbc in the truck
@sodapop554 A 426 doesnt really belong in the truck either. If keeping it more original/correct mattered to me, it would have a 360AMC. The next motor that finds its way into the truck will either be a blown LSx or a viper v10.
@05ls2goat True, for that matter putting a diesel in that jeep would be pretty bad ass as well. Sure it's not original but then you've got the best of two time periods. A durable body, and a durable motor.
That's a beautiful truck! I just turned 20 and joined the Air Force, and I've always told myself that my next vehicle will be a jeep pickup. I've always wanted to restore a classic Commanche or even a cj, but I don't have the talent nor skill lol. But thank the car gods, they are coming out with a 2012 model Jeep Gladiator...with my name on it lol. Keep Jeepin' my friend! :)
@Kaboose811 Thanks for the compliment! I encourage you to start a project anyway. Just dont pick one that is too over your head. Everyone that works on their own vehicles had to start somewhere! Thanks for serving, and keep on jeepin' :)
@Kaboose811 Not to burst yur bubble but don't hold yur breathe for that 2012 jeep truck...definitely go for a FSJ truck! Commanches were alright but nothing beats classic FSJ steel!
@05ls2goat The rhino grill is the grill instead of it going all the way across like yours its just that cool square looking1. It might be called something else but thats what i always new it as. And your lucky that everything is all original lol, and ya like you said ive have been having a hard time trying to find a stepside in good condition
hey man beautiful jeep! ive got a 65 j3000 with the rhino grill, its coming along nicely, im just trying to find a stepside bed for it. but damn that is a one of the nicest looking trucks ive seen, good job on the resoration man
@Dnigz13 Thanks you, and good luck with your project! It's quite difficult to find these beds in good shape with the correct rocker panels, but they're still out there. Fortunately, mine are original. I'm not sure what a rhino grill is... I'll have to look that up :)
beautiful truck man!! congartulations!!, I´ have a ´65 Jeep Gladiator , but restore it take a lot of money and time...beautiful color and incredible instruments ( in my country no exist) congratulations again and enjoy it ....!!
@caimanlatirostris thank you! This truck took about 19 years to restore. Time to start yours! You can still make a very nice truck without spending the money that went into this one
jeep =just empty every pocket or just enjoy everyones parts i got ten years an thousands in my 62 j 200 but i wouldent change a thing exp rust i hate rust
very true! and good for you man! J trucks are such good looking pickups. timeless, beautiful styling. good luck on yours! luckily this truck had NO rust on it what so ever =) some of my previous wranglers on the other hand... now thats another story LOL
a 360 amc is actually what the original plan was to keep it more correct. This motor was given to me by a relative and is actually a hotter motor than we would have been able to make the amc and still be streetable. i make good power into the 7k rpm range
Thats not only real nice, but a work of art! Have a blast driving that one my friend !
