Week 6 Blog Post: “Stretch Complete”
From TJ to LJ: The Full Journey
Six weeks ago, we set out to stretch a Jeep TJ into an LJ—not just in length, but in capability, confidence, and craftsmanship. From cutting steel to crawling trails, this build was a masterclass in purpose-driven fabrication.
Here’s what we covered:
• Week 1: Why stretch a TJ? The case for longer wheelbase and trail performance
• Week 2: Cutting and welding — the moment of commitment
• Week 3: Suspension and stance — dialing in geometry and flex
• Week 4: Armor and attitude — protecting the rig and defining its style
• Week 5: Trail test — proving the build where it matters most
Owner Insights
This build wasn’t just a shop project—it was a statement. Here’s what the owner had to say: "The team at Webber, took my idea, designed it, build it, and killed it. I could not have have asked for a better build."
Final Gallery
We captured the Jeep in its element:
• Flexed on rocks
• Covered in trail dust
• Parked with pride
These images tell the story better than words ever could.
