I owned this thing for about 5 minutes 4 years ago. I realized shortly after I sold it that I had made a huge mistake and have been trying to get it back ever since. My buddy that I sold it to is an and wouldn't let go of it until recently. He wanted a winch bumper and I wanted the LJ back...... so it is finally mine again. It has been beat all to hell, rolled, and hacked up.



There is only maybe a 1" difference in wheelbase between the Rhino and the LJ 



The original 2 cyl. 2 stroke 360 cc motor that took a crap a couple of years ago.

looks like a nice start, what are your plans for it? i love to see somthing rare being built

I still don't know exactly what direction I am gonna go with this thing. As of right now the plan is to squeeze a 22re in it and and sit it on Toyota axles.

The rear bumper I built for it 





The width up front is now the same as my Toyota. This made it a little more easy to mount my steering box, the front crossmember, and a radiator. Also, I won't have to shorten the drag link on my hi steer set up.



The rear suspension mocked up.

The wheel base was 75" and It now sits at 90".  A 15" stretch

That is where I am at as of right now.  I have been working on it for the past couple of weeks.  So far it has been coming together without any major issues.

Thanks, I would rather over build then under build.
