just read from start to end.. was suked in.. great way to learn.. cant wait till its dun

 

Read from start to finish. That is a sweet rig but watch those tires if they sit for along time they will leak air and pop off the bead I've got those on my bogger

 

Took an hr but read every page. You have deff come along way and it looks awesome. Your chop top deff makes me jealous as i plan to do it to my 2 door as soon as its not my dd. I think my son would find the back seat a little cold right now if i remove the roof.

 

Thanks everyone! Had to go to Pennsylvania this weekend so I didn't get any work done, but Thursday night I built one control arm. Once I get back I'll build the other lower then start the uppers and itll be "done"!

 

I thought those axles were already sitting under your rig once before. Did you decide to re-do the set up before putting them back?

 

Post some more pics of your jeep

 

Yes. I did a really crappy job with a really crappy welder and didn't feel it would be safe so I pulled them and restarted.

I'll post some tomorrow or Tuesday depending on how late my classes go. I can't move it yet so pictures are somewhat limited haha

 

Just ordered more brackets so that I could get some long arm action

 

Got all the links done. Sticking with short arms for now so I can get it out of the carport. Then I'm building a tube crossmember and I'll build the long arms. Here are some pics!




I'll get some more when I can get my jack to lift more. Should be done VERY soon

 

In order to get my brain going I figured I'd write out a list of what needs to be done to get this thing ready for the Shamrock Run at Morris Mountain ORV

-Finish weld CAs
-Install springs
-Bolt up shocks
-Steering
-Run brake lines
-Finish passenger side body work
-Paint
-TEST!

Not much left!

 

Not many pictures, but did happen to snap one of the paint in the daylight. It's minus clear coat but you get the idea. Bought my brake lines for the rear and ordered my coil spring retainers then everything will be good to go! Hoping to get it done by the Shamrock Run at Morris Mountain Orv

 

Well I finally got it on its own weight! Replaced the calipers and what not on the front now I just have to tighten up the rear brake lines and bleed it and it'll be done minus finish welding of the control arms. Should be done by next weekend!




^Crappy old brakes from 1983



^On its own weight

 

Rear brake lines are in. Bought new ujoints and tacked the steering in place. VERY close to being done

 

It's done minus bleeding of the brakes!

 

You will really like that axle combo.
