[stx4wheeler]

Yeah, the doubler, but I don't want to pay you what you want for it....

That's funny right there..:flipoff2:

Come on Karl it's only money..

37" BFG KMs on H2's... they is for the jeep

5x5.5" H2s?

[FJAggie07]

I think he is planning on using the axles that were to go under the bronco under the jeep, or some kind of craziness like that.

[Shaggy]

5x5.5" H2s?

jeep is 5x4.5 right now will be 8x6.5 soonish

you should buy a trailor so it is easier to take the jeep to the scrapyard on July 17, 2013.

2015? he'll be 8 lug when the rest of us have flying cars

[Shaggy]

Well I have been doing some research for the jeep and actually think I know what I want to do with it... just have some suspention things to figure out... Options are 3link or leaf front, 4 link or leaf rear. Those are the two decisions I need to make and they rest is figured out already. need to sell some bronco stuff to fund the 3/4 link if I go that direction and really need to sell stuff if I want to get the atlas 4 speed in this year

[Sharpe]

Wtf is a 3/4 link? 3/4 eliptical?

[bburris]

He means a 3 or a 4 link, as was stated on the line above that in his post.

[Shaggy]

yup

[AggieTJ2007]

3 link front and dual triangulated 4 link in the rear, ballistic has some cheap brackets to make everything come along alot faster and cleaner

or link the the front and leafs in the rear but that seems like a step backward for a TJ whose stock suspension works very well at low lift heights (too tall and you get to lift tires)

sucks that you are going to miss out on that fun

[agjohn02]

You should buy a longarm kit and brackets. Make it as easy as possible so you might get it done.

[Shaggy]

uh oh... i heard of a rumor that this thing might be coming back with a new look... the dream will never die... looking at unique old trucks and such to throw on there and I already have a volunteer to get it runnning for me... the frontrunner right now is a 1952 willys overland truck 4x4... i would just mount the body on the bronco frame and wire it up and it would be ready to go

[DRAGOONRANCH]

choo still gotta dee 60 mang?

[Shaggy]

what?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

have you sold the d60? is that what you plan on putting under the bronc frame?

[Shaggy]

putting it back... will be the 351, c6, 203/205, 60, 10.25 just like before but will look cooler with a willys overland truck body. Will be running 37's since that is what I have now... this is just in the imaginary stages but I have found out that they are out there for less than 1k

[AggieTJ2007]

.... and wire it up and it would be ready to go

Wasn't that your downfall on the bronco you had the harness but didn't want to wire everything up?

[Shaggy]

yes... but I said in this post that someone else was going to do it for me this time

[AggieTJ2007]

Si, I understand now, didn't get that they were going to do the wiring part

[Eckert]

full widths on a willys truck is going to have the tires completely outside the fenders. keep it low and it will look tits.

[Shaggy]

The day has come to where I can no longer say this rig can come back in some state or another. A deposit was put down on the engine and it will be picked up tomorrow. Frame will be scrapped and my wife will get to park in the garage until I tear something else apart.

[Sparling]

Any chance the frame is the same general shape as a 93 f-150? The thought of using it to box my frame came to mind.

I know it's shorter but from about the back of the front seats to the front frame rails should be the same right?

[Shaggy]

I guess... It has been beefed up already. You could easily put a cab on it and cut down the bed. It is currently setup for front and rear leaf springs

[Shaggy]

guy that bought the engine also took the headers and is gonna come back tomorrow with more cash for the flowmasters. now to just sell the tranny, tcases and top and I will have room to tear another perfectly good vehicle apart

[Shaggy]

scrap is at $.09 a lb right now. that it up from my last visit there. was plesently supprised

[Shaggy]

flows are gone. this has been a pretty productive vacation so far

[85cj7]

do you still have the ford shock towers on the frame?

[Shaggy]

The frame went to scrap. The towers are in a bucket next to some other small parts.

[85cj7]

What do those towers go for new again? Aren't they like $12 each from the Ford dealership? I'll give you $15 for the two.

[Shaggy]

I think they go for more. But for you I will do $50 for the pair

[85cj7]

I think they go for more. But for you I will do $50 for the pair

$50 pesos? Sure! When can I paypal it?

BTW, I looked it up they are $13 each from the dealer. part # E5TZ*18183*A

Where'd you get 0.09 at? I got 0.10 for "shred" a few weeks ago at River City, thought it was up from that now.

[Seth]

im guessing upper buckets are long gone...did you have anything front bumperish?

River City is where I went

[Shaggy]

upper buckets are 7 years gone, I kept the very front piece of the frame where I made the crossmember because i figured I could use that steel also. you need? it has a reciever in it also. pic to come shortly.

[Shaggy]

pic of what remains of the bronco

[Seth]

actually yeah, ill take that.

[Shaggy]

how does $20 sound? that is the price of reciever stock alone
