Bucket, the 1981 CJ8 frame off.

Well, life got interesting.

I can only attach one file.

Cutting to the chase: 14B rear, cut down Dana 60, LH6, 6L80E, TMI case 4:1 Dana 400, 2.5" OME springs and 37's are all in. High steer, iBooster and more all going in. For some reason, the steering column brackets took me the longest.

 

[Grendel]

I have a lot of pics, but last 2 weeks have been full tilt boogie on this, with a lot of help from friends.

I am Blessed.

 

[Grendel]

Been working with @jc_chandler to build brackets and linkage to mount an iBooster (electric brake booster) in a CJ.
It's rocking. He should build and sell a kit.

 

[Grendel]

New shoes... rims are from my deceased friend's rig. A lot of that going on.

Since my hard top needs a lot of love, has anyone used the Gr8 Tops kit?

I am also working on a custom dash in stainless. Going with Vintage Air and Dakota Digital management. I want AC and chest level vents.

I've used GR8TOPS half cab kit on a TJ, great quality product.

Matt Donaghy GR8TOPS owner also founded this site and the Scrambler Owners Association.

You might talk to him about refurbishing your half cab hard top.

I didn't know that. What's his handle?

@donaghy Are you still here?

I pray that you're safe, if you see this.

I'd like to talk about a top for this pig.

Not sure he gets on here much.
I did see this on Facebook

 

[Grendel]

That's awesome. I sent 4 of our 53' trucks south, loaded with water and generators.

I have tried to talk with him also about buying a slider glass. Email, phone messages... no response. Figured, must be something going on.

Yeah, I have VM, e-mail and messages here, out there. I imagine he's helping folks.

 

[Grendel]

It's funny, how often I swap plans, based on what's available when I am building. We're in the final stretches of this build now.

I even made a stock looking bumper.

 

[Grendel]

Oh and I had a 12g stainless dash cut. It may look a bit different, as I am doing full Vintage Air HVAC and wanted dash vents.

 

[Grendel]

Oh and I installed the front hubs I acquired a while back.

Anyone need mod'd DRW Dana 60 hubs for slip fit rotors?

I did the 2019 Dodge front brake upgrade... it's monstrous.
