And jeep as it sets with armor on top of the hill at Hidden Falls
Did a little more work over the weekend, I never was happy with the front leaf spring position, the spring bushing set way back, this makes the nose stick out. Additionally the tire would come up...
And while burning money, The jeep body was getting pretty well, beat to ****. I found some straight outta china corner armor and rocker guards from eautogrilles.com , its about half the price of blue...
Then a set of 43" Stickies popped up on texas4x4. My 42" TSL's were getting pretty old, and while I was throwing money down a hole I bought them. Guy had bought them new in December, been on 8 trips....
Kevin and I bent a piece of tube to brace the 2 shock mounts together and then welded it in. A few shots of the underneath, hard to see everything, but a few points. The lower frame mount is a piece...
Now onto the bigger "mod", I have been squirreling away parts to 4 link the rear. A friend in the neighborhood who is a welder got laid off and was looking for work to do. I asked if he wanted to 4...
Update before Clayton, I have been having some overheating issues, I have tried a couple different fans, my setup is a sbc350 with brand new aluminum radiator. I have changed the water pump,...
When mine cracked you could see where it was rusted and opened up. Who knows how long they had been cracking for.
Either way plating and a spare set is a good idea.
There was no damage to my inner C's at all, they looked good. I know when Cook had his explosion it took out an inner C or bent it, mine looked fine and everything went back together. I think most...
Their not shiny, but yes, I got some new ones. So at the 2015 Clayton trip I broke the driver's side knuckle on Friday, replaced it with my spare (spare was from a '79 truck, so who knows what all...
I was going to do that also, I only want to buy one more set of leaf springs.
I took it to Hot Springs last weekend and got the jeep back out on the trail. All in all considering it was it's first time out and we were following buggies with 43" sticky's I think I kept up...
I got the atlas shifters installed and put in a B&M Mega shifter for the TH350. I'm still not sure if I like the shifter, but I'll give it a try. The drivers drop atlas makes driver's side a little...
Quick Update, got the YJ running, here are some crappy pictures. Front Leaf Spring mounts had to be moved to just outside of the frame to match my dana 60 perches. The front is pretty basic, I...
How's that pile in your avatar doing? Are the tires dry rotted yet? Do they let you park that at the senior center you old bastard?
Please explain you board lurking troll..
Short answer no, lots of **** going on. Got the axles in, engine in, need to do plumbing and wiring.
I had some 2"X4" 0.250" wall tube, The stock frame ID is 2"X4.25", with this dimension we could cut the bottom part of the frame off and slide the new tube several inches into the old frame. I...
Update photos. To fit my Dana 60 under this jeep, the leaf spring perches have to be moved 3" wider. I have a late 80's Ferd Dana 60 and the spring perches are wider than a 1979 Ferd or any of the...
I mind Karl'ed that one, but if you google the TMR or Genright Atlas mount it is the same way, and it's on the internet, so it has to be ok....
I think of it like this, some people do not run a...
For the skid plate I bought a Barnes 4WD pre-made plate. Honestly for the price it was just a little more than if I had made it and it is probably nicer than what I would have made. The Skid is a 2"...
Pictures of cross members... Both cross members are made from 1.75" 0.120 HREW. The front one goes to the atlas adapter between the t-case and trans. Nothing to exciting, bushings on the end and...
Update - So I wheeled this thing at Down South, Marble Falls, Alto, Hot Springs, the deer lease, etc... Had a good time with it, but the motor kept smoking more and more and the open front sucked. ...
The drop is on the pass side, Wrong side for you.
Plan:
Cut original Klogger up into little pieces, sell 351, NP435, extra cab, doors, anything else
Sell 44 and 14 bolt, put Klogger Sterling and Dana 60 (5.13's, rear welded, front locked, front...
Earlier this week I picked up the newest version of the Klogger, Klogger Version 3.0. It's a bit of a change from previous renditions. I was tired of wheeling fool size and while I have never been a...
