Ive got the smallest rod i can find! 5/64ths. Yes i just need practice. But thanks for the input brotha! Ill def try it!!

 

MIG or "wire-fed" is the easiest of welding. I still like ARC (stick) on heavy stuff.

The trick with MIG welding is knowing how to set up your amps wirefeed rate and gas for each type of weld wether it be thick thin or combination.

Look online for a chart that tells you how to set up for each, then on some test pieces, fine tune your bead and speed of your lines.

also try making half moons instead of circles on certain welds it can make a prettier weld, and pretty welds mean strong welds!!!

all in all great job! hope to see more of this build soon!!!!!

 

Well keep watchin' and you will see more!

 

i better!

my build thread is pretty empty right now with the money i spent on my 4.7. but its well worth it, id be willing to bet my stroker is the strongest and most powerfull I6 on here. im very proud of it. but at $3100 it had better be!!!

After the stroker im saving for the Iron Rock 8" long arm lift. I see pics of XJ's with it flexing and it's like Jeeporn lol

im starting on my "Cherokamper" now too. soon to be available for others if it turns out nice!!!

 

Yep, my buddy, he's on here too, has a 4.7. And its got more nards than most V8s! Youll love it!

My build is slow because i have no where indoors to work on it, and its snowing outside. Makes workin on a jeep pretty ****ty haha

 

im getting the stroker this month so hopefully it will be nice enough outside to put it in.

mines got all forged internals and a very high duration and lift cam.
and much higher compression for my dual fuel propane conversion.

im lookin at a possible 350+ HP on the propane. and even though its been debated, an estimated 35+ MPG on propane. gotta use premium octane gas though when im not running it LP

im interested on how it will fare at the track on 35's and the lift lol

P.S. forged means i can put the nitrous to it and not worry about blowin it up!!! doubt i will though. nice to know i can.

wish i would have dont other upgrades first but my engine was goin to **** and i figured do it now since it needs it.

 

Okay, so i spent a couple hours today in the garage today! Made my mounts for my coil springs. they'll sit on the axle and go over the radius arms. pretty simple. I drove my truck all over them earlier and had a video of it. To test my welds! And they were holding great. anyway, a few pics. Not totally complete. Gonna add some gussets of some sort, and i gotta trim em down a lil and make it so they'll wrap the axle. But here's a little just so you get the idea.

 

Heres the newest update broke down on the side of the road. Went out wheelin. Re-bent my tie rod and alt. Just took a shat more to come!!

 

Bummer man time to upgrade...

 

Waaaay ahead of ya

 

Been gathering parts for some electrical fun?

 

Not yet, but tomorrows the day!

 

The jeeep didnt make it home last night. But i did!! I limped it to a parking lot for the night. Going back out today to atleast put on a new tie rod so i can tow the damn thing home!

 

You doing a ZJ tierod?

 

Well just to get it home,, im gonna use whatever i can find. Most places aint got the tie rod. But ill probably throw in the V8 zj one. Cuz im good and bendin rokee ones but im also gettin my 44 underr soon. So not TOO worried about it.
