Crashfab'd minivan from hell!

Well, I'm not going to take ANY credit for ANYTHING on my rig at this point. I made a very good choice by having Mikey do the work, instead of anyone else IMO.....

For everyone who doesn't know my rigs "history", I'll kinda spell it out....

I got the rig junior year of HS (01), 1994 Grand Cherokee, leather, V-8, 68k miles, in damn neer perfect shape... It went thru some stages.... First, the SUPER hard core 2" BB spacer lift w/ some badass BFG 31x10.5 M/T's on some cool ass les schwab steel chrome POS wheels... (see first picture). Then came the RE 4.5" lift + my BB for my ultra rad 33x12.5 Xterrains i got when Lynnwood 4wp first opened. Got the T/R bumpers, some rock rails, blah blah blah, classic Jeepsunlimited ZJ build up. I started wheeling it, and it started getting some scratches and little dings, so I started getting used to it not being the "pretty" Jeep it was when I had got it.... Then driving down Aurora one day (right in front of Sarg's carlot actually :flipoff: ), the D35c blew the hell up. So then came the 8.8/hp30 swap every dumbass with one of these things does. 4.10 gears, minispool in the back, lockwrong up front, the "big" 297 shafts up front. Then I came up with the really good idea of getting some 35x12.5 MT/R's....yeah, locked up D30's don't like 35's, and a V8.

I got pissed off, decided I was going to part the fawker out, and rebuild it from the ground up...I was sick of breaking axles and such, so I figured the hp44/9" combo would be perfect, I wouldn't break as much stuff as I did before. I guess I didn't really think that putting 38.5x14.5 SX's on the 44/9" isn't much better then the 35's on the 30/8.8 :redneck:

Fastforward a few years, the rig is ALMOST done up at Crash's, and I can't speak enough good about his work, and all the nice things he's done to help me out.

I also gotta give big shout outs to EVERYONE who's helped me out in one way or another. Sarg for dragging the carcas of my Jeep up to Crash's, Bunk for the multable dontations, The Kash family for letting my Jeep rot in their yard for so long, and everyone else that's helped me out on this thing....

We'll now I'm just going to post all the pictures of it I have....so here it goes


EDIT: Forgot to add the specs of what all the new shizzle is.... Ofcourse, high pinion D44 front, chevy flattops, BTF hysteer arms, bunkfab solid chromo tierod and drag link, got some hydro assist on the way up to crash's, 5.13's in both diffs, Detroit Sleezy locker up front, minispool in the rear (31 spline 9", shafts redrilled to 6 lug). Still the stock 5.2 litre and auto trans, 231 out of an older XJ w/ a RE HD SYE and rear driveline out of Calvin (4lockfilms) old XJ... 4wheel discs....oh yeah, Yukon 4340 shafts upfront w/ OX joints... then ofcourse Porters old beadlocks w/ brand new (minus the titties, thanks Crista :flipoff: ) 38.5x14.5 TSL SX's....

Some of Crash's super fab work :clappy:

moooooorrrreeeee :cheer:

few more

Totally :rb: huh :flipoff:

Looks good. someday I'll do mine like that. Someday....

Does anyone care :flipoff:

Almost done, I swear :stirpot:

Then I decided it needed paint

and the last of the pictures :cheer:

Still looks heavy as hell to me! JUST KIDDING! It LOOKs sweet, "naplean dynomite voice on" have you taken it off anysweet jumps"ND voice off":super:

Thanks man, It'd look better with that new hatch on it, huh

I saw this at Mike's place a couple weeks ago. Looking good. Are you going to put any skid protection on it?

Oh, and what is the name of Sarg's car lot?

Yeah, I have a gastank skid for it, and a set of rockrails (not sure if I'm going to use them though). Crash will be building some bumpers, and maybe do an exo on it, depending on how my cash flow situation is doing

It's still a tin box. :flipoff:

no really, it looks good and should work well.

Sweet rig! You really dont see that new of a body style on the trail. x1000 on the work Crash does. He did a bunch of mods on my buddys Gibbys rig.

That's thing's been up at Crash's forever! It was being shuffled around with I was up there over a year ago.

Markus and I both had a lot of work done by Crash. I wish I could say that I did all my own work, but if I can't I'd rather it be CRASH!

dang thats a build up!!! that thing is looking sweet i bet you cant wait to go out and make the new paint shine. looks like you used up the ramp.and crash's work :clappy: :super:
btw i realy wanted to see a minivan:redneck:

its been a slow buildup for a few reasons....


I didn't have the money right off the bat to "finish" the rig the way i wanted to, then I went into the military. When I got out on a med discharge, I then bought a new truck. After my accident, i decided to finish up this thing asap, thats why you see all the progress all of a sudden. If i wanted it done sooner, mikey would have had it happen, he's just been working with my schedule, which is super cool.


I'd recomend anyone to Mike for almost anything. He's an awesome guy who does amazing work.

I would agree that Mike Kash does excellent work, I really like his pickyness, attention to detail.
