is that building just one garage?!!

 

Actually, its 2 garages with heated floors, 5 lifts, nice tool room, shark tank in the foyer as you walk up the stairs to his living quarters. There's not one bit of woman in the design of this house. I'll start a thread on this place some time in the future. Its pretty insane.

Holy Crap---That is an insane garage!!!!

 

ooooh, a 68 Camaro, my high school ride.

 

would an '06 Exige be "exotic" enough?

 

Do you know the owner? What is the story on it?

 

WOW. Yes start the thread, would love to see more

 

+1!!!

 

The Monster Jeep
….In Review
“1980 Jeep CJ 7”
Owners: Thomas and Sherry Bostic

History: I bought the jeep when I was 15, (I’m 34 today), as my first daily driver!! As the years passed, I went through different engines, tires, stereos etc. Finally it was about to fall apart from rust so I took it apart to build it one last time..so I thought. I purchased a fiberglass body from AJ’s and started on building my 4 link suspension. Every year since I have added on and changed it to make it the monster it is today.
Unless otherwise stated everything stated below was designed and fabricated by myself. I, with a little help from friends, fabricated everything from the suspension to the top. There are few things on the jeep that are store bought..everything is custom made.

Here is a summary of what I have done to make this jeep such a monster!!!:

Completely smoothed and painted the frame gloss black
Handmade front and rear shock towers
Boxed and completely reinforced rear frame
Handmade all motor and four link mounts

Fiberglass body by AJ’s

One piece Wrangler front end with molded Bushwacker fender flares

Disc brakes in front in rear
Powder coated Hot Rod Red calipers and rotors
Crane aluminum finned polished differential covers
Axle skid plates fabricated from steel box tubing and powder coated Hot Rod Red

Chevy Turbo 350 built by Forcade transmissions
TCI Converter
Custom Chain drive Transfer case

CV Drive shafts front and rear with heavy duty spicer yoke and U joints made by Northern VA Supply

And then comes the Chain Drive:
Because the Jeep has a short wheel base, when it is lifted 2 ½’ over stock, the only way to make the drive shafts work is to drop down the output of the transfer case. I designed and fabricated a chain drive system using a chain designed for heavy machinery to lower the output shaft 8” down similar to a monster truck……and it works!!!!

The Jeep blows--info on the garage,

 

that is one fugly jeep. all that time and energy could be put into a real drivable vehicle...

 

It was his vehicle since 15 and he did what he wanted with it. I respect the work as I would any other who puts that much attention into detail. I really don't know why you have to be rude about it. Especially in a thread about customs at the DC auto show. I'd like to learn more about the garage too, but it should be in another thread.

 

is that jeep a transformer? what does it turn into?

 

The jeep is not my taste but its what the guy wanted to build. He did alot more than I could accomplish.

I might approach the owner of the garage mahall about having a exotic gathering at his house if you all are interested. He has the one garage setup with webcams and already has a contract with the Discovery Channel to covert a Metro donated bus into a bio research lab. He also has a contract with the marines to customize a hummer for recruiting purposes.

Here's another one of his creations. This car is currently going thru a renovation.

a money pit....

 

if this were "abortionjeepchat.com" ,I might entertain the discussion, but it is far off the base that this site promotes, and it is rather insulting IMO . hey, lets invite that thing on a drive! lol . id rather not filter through all of this crap in order to find out the details of the dc auto show.

 

Whatever...........

No car discussed in this thread is a Ferrari - Think about it

Ken, I'm not clear.... Is the Jeep guy the garage guy or are they two different people.

 

different guy. Owner of house knows the jeep guy

 

Obviously that jeep doesn't ratched down to a Ferrari discussion. It was originally posted because Lash asked for some input for modded cars for the Auto show. I spoke with lash this morning and he said that within the first hour of his original post, he basically had all the cars he needs.

Let's start a new thread for anyone interested in hooking up to visit the DC auto show.

cheers
