Building A Jeepster Commando With Upcycled Parts From The Junkyard | Harry Situations

Grant Chapman from CNA Fabrication is at it again with his latest project- a 1967 Jeepster Commando. If Grant looks familiar, you may recall him from the video we previously made about his stepside Chevy (   • Lifted Chevy Stepside 4x4 | Harry Situations  . Here, Grant discusses the differences in wheeling a full-size truck versus a Jeep and whether he prefers the NV4500 manual transmission in his Chevy or the 4L40E automatic in his Jeepster. He also details the build process, from fabricating his own frame rails to the link suspension, steering, and brakes. The drivetrain is junkyard parts consisting of a 5.3L engine, the previously mentioned 4L80E, an NP241 transfer case, and Super Duty axles. This kept the overall project cost down and allowed room in the budget for items such as the 40-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers and Battleborn Sierra beadlock wheels. 00:00 - Intro 00:31 - Inspiration 01:18 - Finding a Project 01:50 - Custom Frame 03:05 - Build Time 04:08 - Nitto Trail Grapplers 04:28 - Drivetrain 05:36 - Bolt Patterns 06:19 - Auto or Manual 08:01 - Suspension 08:57 - Leaves or Links 10:13 - Armor 11:49 - CJ Grille 13:37 - Future Upgrades 14:52 - Junkyard Parts 16:21 - Fullsize or Midsize 16:59 - Gears and Lockers 17:58 - Plumbing and Wiring 20:12 - Outro Drop a comment and let us know what you want to see next from Harry!
