Ian turns a stack of tubes into a shorter trail chassis and adds new axles.

The mock-up on the trail chassis continues as Ian adds a motor and transmission to the build; it's time to get axles underneath with a new third member so he can go four-wheel drive all the time.

Ian brings in a 1968 M715 to make it more reliable; he takes the body off the original chassis and stretches a Jeep JK chassis to make it fit; he adds upgraded suspension, 1-ton axles and an LS engine to make it a truck that can fight any battle.

Since a TJ can be had for under 10K, Ian shows how to buy a Jeep on a budget and outfit it with everything needed to hit the rocks and still have money left over.

The Budget TJ gets some more parts; Ian updates the suspension with new coilovers; he adds new bumpers front and rear, and by the end of the day, this TJ is trail ready.

Ian takes a rusted-out 1960 Chevy Apache and takes off his favourite body panels to install over a 2005 long-bed Chevy.
