yeah, the guy who's shop I am using is buliding a CJ-5

**robertf03** · 09-10-2002, 08:39 PM

building a cj5 huh? well at least that shop isn't half bad

there was a thread on either POR or JU about patrol's saying how they were very overpowered from the factory compared to Jeeps and FJ's and stuff like that during the time. think that 22re will balance out the battle

**redcagepatrol** · 09-11-2002, 07:12 AM

The Patrol had a HUGE 125 hp straight six in it when I got it. It weighed a ton, doesn't have fuel injection, and has NO replacement parts. That thing was way bigger than my Cummins. Of coure the 22RE will balance it out, it will work great.

Got the front suspension re-done last night (4" drop) - will start dropping the rear tonight

got the rocker panels done yesterday and will be starting on the cage next week when I am in town.
Still no camera for pics...

schweet jebus...dats coo

Seems like a little too much front fender to me... you gonna be trimming that for clearance or you letting the beefy 37's do it for you?

BTW... how is the rest of your cage planned?

What are the specs on those massive toy axles? What did you do about birfs? GOnna run an eliminator with CTM's?

**redcagepatrol** · 10-29-2002, 01:21 PM

the cruiser Birfields will be send of for Cyro-treating (Longfields) and I will probably have custom chrom-moly axle shafts made for the front. I don't plan on having alot of up-travel, but I will trim if needed.

As for the cage - we will see. I already bent the back hoop above the seats and will run bars on the outside of the body along the upper body line. I should have it close to done by the end of the week.

Krawler68 · 10-29-2002, 01:33 PM

birfields.... Ughhhhh...

I say Cromo Shafts... birfield eliminator and CTM's... but that's cool if you want all us conventiaonal folks driving around your disabled truggy

whatever birfield boy...sounds good to me... best of luck, the rear portion and rockers look forkin' kick ass...

**redcagepatrol** · 10-29-2002, 01:56 PM

The Longfields - like CTM's have a lifetime warrenty. Neither of them will EVER be the weak link, even with the stock 32 spline shafts swapped for custom chrom-molly shafts

**robertf03** · 10-29-2002, 02:02 PM

looks like a chinese EB scott. how much longer you think it'll take you? i gotta plan my "work on the jeep" schedule to keep caught up.
