I know TJ's are 94, so are the LWB's, i believe the rest of the 'heep' lineup is the same

Did you say IF Spidertrax ever get's done with it... :D

Sorry, just had to jump in there... ;)

Basic Jeep stuff, as I recall:
CJ5 ('72+) - 84"
CJ7 - 94"
[oops edit]
CJ6 ('72+) & CJ8 - 104" :D

What is the standard wheel base for a Sami? I am a Jeep guy, but my brother got me interested in Sami's and I am working on making a trade for a CJ7 frame and a tub for a Sami with a bad motor.

Also, what motor would be a good swap? I will try to post another link about this.

Thanks

actually all you guys- technically, he asked how long the frame was, not the wheelbase.

did he really mean frame or wheelbase?

does anyone know the frame length on the LWB models?

the question was"How long was the LWB frame but I think I can manage with the wheel-base lenght" but if anyone knows the lenth of the frame (LWB) it would be nice.....

Devin,

You don't want to run the stock class - get up there with the big boys where you belong.
