Ok, even though it was against popular opinion, I sold the rover a few weeks ago for a few reasons and decided to work on the jeep. Only been able to work on it for a week so far but we got an edelbrock cam, lifters, timing chain, edelbrock intake manifold, holley 470 carb, holley fuel pump (electric), and a few other pieces on and got the engine running. Oh yea, we also took off over half the vacuum lines for the smog crap. The thing sounds great with that cam. here are a few pics of the progress so far:

and as it sits now:

Should be getting the 6" ift in on thursday this coming week. Still need to make mounts for the seats then put them in, finish up tuning the engine, get a taurus fan, put the new weatherstripping in, get some sort of insulation for the floor (any suggestions?) and hopefully mount the cd player.

I decided to go with the 6" all spring lift instead of the SOA/shackel flip because of time and money. The SOA comes out to more after the high-steer setup and stock springs (the ones on their now are completely shot)

Do a big cap conversion on the distributor and put on a ford tfi coil. That way the same ignition will work with gm tbi fuel injection.

HEI sucks on amc's. it doesn't fit correctly.

If you have big bucks to spend on a new distributor... I am very impressed with MSD pro billets. And they can work w/ efi too.

alright sorry I haven't updated this in a while. I got the spring in last week sometime and theyre massive, not sure how good it'll flex but we'll see. I was planning on installing them this weekend as well as mounting the pass. seat but unfortunately my grandfather passed away friday sept.1 so I'm down in south Texas for the funeral. I will be back up for the first meeting so hopefully I'll see yall out there. Ill get some pics up of the springs and all the new stuff once im back and get my camera fixed.

Not my cherokee, but below is a pic of a rhino grille. (Short vertical grille)

Or a razor grille. (Long vertical grille)


Nice to see at least one TAMOR FSJ is in running condition. Working on buying a 401 for mine to replace the 360 that needs rebuilt badly anyways. :cheers:

probably 33's for now so I wont kill the axles too soon, may get some 35's later on down the road. As far as i know the seats dont fold forward, the back one does but the fronts dont. What is the s/n on the ifsja boards for that truck?

TexTJ209
09-06-2006, 12:39 AM
I believe his s/n is viscacha or something like that.


Yeah, good thing about W/T Cheros like mine is I can fit 33s stock, albeit with a bit of rubbing. But Im gonna run a 4" and 33s so Ive got no problems as far as rubbing goes.



The seats that came with my Cherokee are Waggy seats, they don't fold forward either, Cherokee ones are supposed to. Kinda hard to get into the back seat with a 2 door and seats that don't fold forward...

anyone have an idea on how long a stock amc 20 (1 piece shafts) and dana 44 would hold up to 35" bfg's? Since im going to have to buy new tires anyways im thinking why not just trim a little and get 35s instead of 33s. I know the COG will go up a bit but its not much more than a 33" tire. Also, where can I find some alloy shafts for a waggy amc 20? Every time i find some they are for the little cj axles which are different.

sasquatch
09-13-2006, 01:12 PM
depends on how you wheel. my axles do just fine. though i have a 9in instead of a amc 20

agjohn02
09-13-2006, 01:19 PM
my rear 44 holds up pretty good. it gets a lot of abuse, much more than my front axle... on and off road.

BMFScout
09-13-2006, 01:20 PM
I would think you would only need to worry about the front 44 with 35" tires. My front axle has held up fairly well. I would say it should be similar. Un-locked it should be fine, locked it should be ok as long as you are careful/only hammer down with the wheels straight.

Gordons or maldonados will want way too much. Try a real junk yard like in houston or dallas. Or watch on ebay. Or, I have some stubs laying around here. Just need to know the length because I should have some ford and some chevy. I think waggy is the same length as chevy.

Alright I was finally able go home this weekend and try to get some work done. As of today it is completely driveable, the new weatherstripping is in, all vacuum hoses hooked up, hood is back on, fuel pump is mounted, grill is back on, ect ect. Tomorrow the plan is to get the leafs in, should be able to get that done tomorrow (assuming nothing is too rusted, in which case we'll just cut it off). If it all gets done this weekend than I should have it at the next meeting

On as side note, are these shafts any good? overpriced?

lift kit is all done, after a long ass day of work. Thing sits pretty high but i dont think there should be too much of a problem with cog. Also, I think that im going to stick with 33's like i originally planned and maybe lock the rear (aussie) but we'll see, at least it would be more reliable.

I meant to ask you earlier tonight at the meeting, but are you going to make a trac-bar for the rear? I'm planning on making one for my Jeep when I head home in the next few weekends, let me know if you want to make yours when I do, you live right down the road. :D

stx4wheeler
09-21-2006, 07:38 AM
he has 6 inch lift springs in the front and rear i dont think he will be needing a trac bar, and by trac bar i assume you mean anti-wrap bar. Since he said that it doesnt flex that great with the lift springs to begin with.

95discovery
09-21-2006, 09:45 AM
no anti-wrap bar until i do the shackle flip, and even then it may not need it. Right now with the small amount of flex it gets i definitely dont need one, but thanks.

09-23-2006, 07:45 PM
got the new tires today! it definitely makes a big difference. One problem is that they hit the springs when its turned all the way to the left. I think the pitman arm was off a bit when we put it on causing it to turn further left than right, so ill have to adjust that tomorrow and see if it fixes it. If not, i guess ill have to get some spacers. Also put 2 recovery points on the front and one on the back today. Ill get some pics soon and post em up.

Sharpe
09-24-2006, 12:40 PM
Every pitman arm I've seen has some kind of indexing spline(s) on it so you physically cant mount it incorrectly. I hammered a pitman arm on one time cause I didnt know any better and it was one spline off. When I was driving home it sheered all the splines off and the only thing keeping my steering functional was a grade 8 bolt that got the **** gouged out of it.

if i had a camera i would post pics, it is up in college station now so if anyone wants to let me borrow a camera then ill post up some pics. I know the pitman arm can only go on a certain way due to the splines, somehow the box got turned 1/4 way to the left which still allowed the pitman arm to be put on, it was just off by a quarter turn... not sure how the hell that happened but its fixed now

got the aussie in, had to repalce the outer bearings and seals on the axle shafts, so that took a bit longer than planned but its good to go now. Tested it a bit in a ditch infront of the house and it seems to have made a big difference, just need to get it out on the trails and test it good. The fan is also going to take a little more work than planned so we didnt mess with it this weekend, maybe next.

now that im gonna chop the top and build a cage im kinda at a loss of what to use, a lot of people with wags use 2.0"x.120" DOM or HREW. I have quite a bit of 2-3/8" J55 oil field tube (thickness is greater than .120, not sure what it is though, didnt get a chance to measure it). Would this stuff be ok?

I would use 1-3/4" HREW or DOM or a mix of both.

mostly weight. Kopecki will tell you oilfield pipe will be great, it's just not how I would do it.

eight
11-24-2006, 08:44 AM
No, I wouldn't build a cage out of oilfield pipe. I'm not familiar with J55 but the normal oilfield pipe is a medium carbon steel not meant to be welded with normal methods. And its usually magnetized so it welds ****ty. It is great for sleeving links because its stronger than chromemoly, and it doesn't matter if the welds crack. 1 1/2" sch40 pipe is stronger than 1.75" .120 wall hrew. I used 1 1/2" sch40 high yield in my cage, and that's stronger than 1.75" .120 dom. The 1 1/2" sch40 is 1.9" od with .145 wall, so even though the material in normal pipe is not as strong as hrew, there's more of it.

its mostly because pipe was not designed for structual loads, but it will work to protect you from a roll. Feller's buggy was build almost all out of pipe and it did fine.

Roll cage safety is more about design than it is in material. If you use an excelent design with pipe will be safer/ stronger than a crappy design and chromo DOM

This is kinda sweet, I know you were on the IFSJA looking for pics.


Was messing around on the LHOR boards, apparently this guy was one of em. Found a video: Rollover (http://www.rebelrockrunners.org/gallery/d/14771-2/andrewrollover.mpeg) :gigem:

There is no way in hell I would use oilfield tubing. If it is brand new, it is worth more than bending into a cage and if its been down in the hole, then the inside could be pitted or washed out from the frac job. It would be worth more to sell to ranchers or whoever to use as fence/cattle guards/gates.

yea i saw pics of that wag on pirate and ifsja, its a sweet rig. The oilfield stuff was used just for transport of oil, not in the hole so no worry about frac damage but either way I doubt ill be using it, ill probably just use 1.75x.120 hrew (thats strong enough right).

an update on the progress so far:

motor mounts replaced
fixed oil leak (valve cover gasket)
straightened the body out
replaced back window
replaced windshield

so as of now it is driveable, went down to pick up some tube today but they were out of 1.75 x .120 and 2 x .120 so i guess ill wait on that.

things left to do:
shackle flip the rear with old springs (should net the same lift so hopefully it wont look weird)
put pass seat in
roll bar
tune the carb up
get inspected somewhere
get and install a new alt... hopefully a cs144 if i can find one, any leads?
put the elec fan in and wire it up
make new bumpers if i get the time and steel
roll bar, same thing with time and steel

ive decided im not gonna chop the roof just yet because its my only car to drive around, once i get enough money for a dd then ill chop it and put a cage in, the roll bar should be fine for now

How'd you end up straightening the body out? For the alternator, Gordons wants $40 for them, you might want to check out some yards while you're at home to see if you can get one cheaper. Or try ebay, thats where I've gotten mine.

used the diesel and a tow strap and slowly pulled until it was straight, or at least straight enough to get the windshield back. i didnt really expect it to work but amazingly enough it did. The back drivers side door still has a dent but i may try to get that out later

I got bored today and decided to build a rear bumper with a tire/hi-lift carrier. ill try to get some pics tomorrow
