flyinv55 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 perhaps this is impossible but I have a cutting torch and a buzz box so I know anything can be done but.....has anyone put a BRAT body on a CJ5 chassis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSNRG Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 There was one on ebay awhile ago on a Bronco? frame. It was being sold as a unfinished project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushbasher Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 you'd be hard pressed to get the frame up nice and tight against the body, you would probably have to make a custom frame, to keep it from looking like a huge bodylift. Then the jeep 6/4 wouldn't fit under the hood. Overall I don't think it would be worth it at all. I mean, if your gonna go with solid axles, and a non-subaru engine, the point of the brat is pretty much gone, and brat's aren't the prettiest vehicles on the planet either, they're okay looking, but not probably not worth doing over something that originates from a ladder frame vehicle.

Mike W Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 There was this '79 Brat: http://www.cascadeoffroaders.com/undercons.html A bit too radical for my taste, but uh well it's up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 There are a few purists(many very near you) that would probably chop you up if they saw you chopping up a 79 brat for something like that:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Listen to Mudrat - he can lift it 6" or more if you want, his prices are very reasonable, and his lifts are very well tested around these parts. There's quite a few people running around with Mudrat lifts in their soobs. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondasucks Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 dude, your GF drives a brat? Kickass :-) Yeah don't; hack it up, get John to lift it for ya. That brat on the Ford frame or whatever, lives in Lebanon, Oregon. I tried contacting him to see if he still had the drivetrain, btu I got no reply :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subafly Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I'd make it a street subee. Ive thought about getting a brat and then putting like 12" subs in the back and stuff like that. Mabey ground effects. Or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
