missed superbowl but got some work done

[J Cooper]

started off by pulling apart an axle down to nothing for my hub conversion

[J Cooper]

machined down the spindles and hubs to fit on my axle and so that it will hold a rotor and caliper.... so now i have 6 bolt hubs with warn premium lock outs

[J Cooper]

done

[J Cooper]

cleaned and replaced all the seals and bearings and hubs on nicks jeep axles and put on rear cj springs all around and a new windshield

[J Cooper]

picked up our new club banner... mighty fine

[J Cooper]

and here it is.... finished product... 36" baby and no rub

missed the superbowl, left SA at 9:30, ran out of gas, start was screwing up and hit fog for about 60 miles, so we got back about 2 am we even got to play mc gyver by jumping nicks fuel pump on the jeep so we could steal some gas from it

[TXsizeK5]

nick's is lookin good.

and so the hubs/brakes/lock-outs will fit on your jeep now?

those gears were trashed in that old axle and the pinion was a b!tch to get out! :eek:

[J Cooper]

oh and heres one for nutz, on the way up there we were doing a good 80-85 and then this truck that looked just like nutz ford came screaming buy pulling a huge as tractor on it, i tried to get a pick but its kinda blurry, it was definetely nice though... loud as ****

[J Cooper]

yeah everything works on it now, just need to put it on my jeep.... oh and for all you loud as v8 haters in the club, in mason i will be running stock mufflers under my jeep and a closed loop kit, so it should sound just like everyone elses little motors :flipoff2:

[aggielr]

the little cj5 looks much bigger now, i like it, might have to go for more w/b though :flipoff2:

yea, i missed the game as well, but i'll be locked front and rear for mason :cheers:

BOO! Having a v8 and having it sound good is your right man! Ask Brandon, he knows all about people bitching about how loud his is. I like it, it's like having pro-street cars out there. hehehe.

If this was Nick's work I expect it to be loud like straight pipes once it gets about 4 minutes into the first trail. :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

[J Cooper]

no crossmember, didnt have any metal or a place to buy metal on superbowl sunday, and yes his motor and "gearing" can push those meats around like there not even there, we got it going pretty quick and even crawled over some stuff, worked pretty good, just needs a anti wrap bar pretty bad and maybe a new power steering gear box.

the muffler thing: i love the way it sounds when im cruising around town, but when its at idel or crawling rpm about 1000 which is also where it is at max torque and everything and it is the loudest point it is just way too loud, makes me feel like im gonna **** my self also. so i think im gonna take them off this week.... if i dont like the way it sounds i can either put a dual in single out on or get headers with stock mufflers.

it seems like 35/36/38s are becoming what 31/33s were a few short years ago...

[redcagepatrol]

BTW, now Nick will start breaking stuff - should be interesting:flipoff2:

whats wrong with 33s?.... or do you have to be able to break **** on every trip to be in the cool kid club? :flipoff2:

[bburris]

You have to be able to spit caps when turning into a driveway to be cool.:cool:

That's seems to be the only explanation for mine.:laughing:

[eight]

If you would properly secure the caps they wouldn't fall out.

[BigRedFord04]

i can make my 37"s scream. V8 baby!

[chevsu]

your only cool if you can smoke 42s

They weren't welded in if that's what you're implying...they are now, though.

[TXsizeK5]

[aggielr]

why would u use portals and coilovers on a mud rig :confused: , just use leaf springs and the good 'ol 14 bolt :laughing:

[TXsizeK5]

too much money & want to be "cool"?

[BigRedFord04]

[Violentv8toy]

Skinny 52s and fattie 44s are different.
