more tear down
rear axle tear down
frame notch to recess spring hangars
(dont mind the plug weld)
rear shackle hangars and springs mocked up
final mock up
... and how to install a transmission.
1 weld tube to plate
2 insert on jack
3 add large size brake drum
4 install
anti wrap bar cross member and mount on axle.
i actually ended up redoing this by welding the tube to the bottom of the two bushings so that i could run exhaust and i could later replace with flat skid
the following all took place the week before clayton... so the pictures that i do have might be mixed up a little.
i will take pics of whatever i did not take pics of before the trip and add them later this week
yj brakes (custom bracket--- will fix later)
new meats 42" TSL on H2 rims
winch, steering, driveshafts..... everything else
more stuff
(will get better pics)
more pics, shims, shock hoops, drive shafts, fenders
i think this was december 10th
more ...
more... about 2 am of the 11th
couple more including stupid ram mount
on thurs, we finally mounted the gas tank, blead the brakes and steering and mounted the tires... drove it on to the trailer with no exhaust = awesome!!
left houston at 9:15 after picking up cjs trailer.
got to dallas about 1 am
crashed
woke up
took to get exhaust put on
****ed off and drank beer in addison
left dallas at 3 got to clayton at 7.
took it off trailer
drove it to a&a
... it worked.
here are a couple gay poser shots from clayton
i took it easy to make sure everything worked... did great except i shot out a motor mount bolt (one bolt i did not check) so we had to ratchet strap it down... this caused the gay jeep shift linkage to pop out when in a bind... no big deal i had a pit crew.
so on my way to find the cool kids and do some real wheeling sophia sheared off my ram mount bolt (grade 8 5/8") she only drove like 30 feet
:flipoff2:
it was actually that ****ty design noted in previous post... so we put a new bolt in and messed around some more.
other than that it kicked ass
