Nice looking rig, we have alot of the same stuff going on haha

 

Thanks you sir, id have alot more done if my cummins tranny didn't need a rebuild and all the bill's I gota pay, id have this thing done up alot better by now, but it'll come in time.

What you got going on with your rig?

 

Gonig to save up for D44 HP front, keep coils, 3 link and custom trac bar and 6-9" ford coil's(will they fit in the jeep coil spring holders?), ford 9"(31 spline) rear and weld the rear and match the front-end lift wise with 4:88-5:13 gears and do a slip-yoke eliminator kit and call it done on the jeep(well atleast instill I get my tranny rebuilt in my cummins).

 

Bought a thermoaste for it and gasket, didn't have one and keeps running warm, also going down to the JK and getting another radiator out of somehting as a 2nd radiator and run heater hose to it and mount it in the back with a fan. Also got new front left axle seal and right rear wheel seal for it so won't have to worry about mud/water in the diff's. Going to change the oil soon and tranny fluid soon also. BTW getting 9.5-16 Tractor tires thursday!! VERY EXCITED this will be my first set of tractor tires!! Going to keep swampers/stock wheels for trail riding/light mud and got dielectric grease to get things taken care of and tring to find the tranny and t-case vent so I can get them snorkeld up.

 

Well the tractor tires got sold from under me so no go on that, lol, but I got another electric fan to replace the old clutch fan going to get that put in and pull the old clutch fan out, already got the radiator out boy it was pretty much I guess can't really clean it well from where its act even with a pressure washer so going to work on getting the surrounding area covered up with like an old rubber mat by the fender wells and what not to keep mud from getting to the radiator hopefully.

Tommrow going to put new axle seal on front, new rear wheel seal on and new front brake pads and pull both sway bar's off.

Hood Vent's

 

Are those West Marine hood vents? I've seen them on another build and absolutely love the way they look. I really want to put a pair on my XJ.

 

Not sure got them off an old salvage boat we had that we took the motor out to put into our boat and we had these laying around. I think they turned out great and only took 20mn's.

 

They look almost exactly like a pair that another dude on here has. They're like $15 from West Marine and look dope. I have other things that need fixing first though :P

 

Yea the black one's on that red XJ? That's where my idea came from, saw these laying around and only took 20 min's to trace out and cut and then 12 screws later all done.

 

Yupp those. I'm either gonna go that route or do something else. Idk yet. for me its mostly a cosmetic issue and I'll get around to it someday

 

yea I just wanted to let the heat out, that's all I wanted em for, lol

 

Going to get some measurement's this weekend and order some steel from my gas engine's teacher monday and try and get started of some fab work on the ol jeep!!

 

Plan's:
-3 link front with schedule 80 pipe with tractor joint's with sway bar
-4 link rear with schedule 80 pipe and tractor joints with truss
-toyota axles, upgrade to 5:29 gears, weld rear locker front
-35's
-3" coil's front/rear with 2" spacers front/rear
-Lower T-case
-Get another 10" fan for radiator(the other one that is on there is way to big)
-Get exhuast fixed with new o2 sensor and cat-back exhuast
-Fully snorkel(almost done)
-Disc Front/Rear
-Custom bumpers
-Fix rust
-Fuel Cell with holley pump
-Upgrade tranny cooler with fan
-DONE!

 

you putting in a new tranfercase? if not the toy axles arent gonna work. the rear will but the front is pass. side drop....xj's are driver.

i would run the toy rear and a waggy d44 front....drivers side drop and same wheel lug pattern. prob have to run wheel spacers in the rear.

and last..........they are NEVER DONE!!!!!!!!!
