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 ... . 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.

Nitto is making some big daddy tires, very nice. I'm glad they have an option for a 37x11.5, looking at a set for my stock Jeep rims.

That is what I run on my Ram. Cool size that offers a lot of ground clearance but fits under the stock fenders.
