Here is the new exhaust. Decided to go with a 3 stage flowmaster, and the guy who does my exhaust, is a pure freak when it comes to exhaust, guy just rocks...

And with the shocks all done, and the sheet metal pretty close to clearanced, it does a bit better on the ramp.

Here is something I read alot about, the heat build up under the hood with how they are shaped. Some guys spent good money to have the hoods luvered, or some cut holes, well, I decided to do what alot of guys around here do, just raise the back of the hood. I decided to just go 1/2", and you can feel air flow at the back of hood now, perfect I think

Needed to be done.....

Well, after bustin butt today, I figured since jeff is going to come up sunday to run the rig, I had better give it a quick shakedown and make sure nothing went BOOM. Well, I decided to take it out for a bit and see how it did, and to say the least, I was very happy, it ended up working just as I was hoping. One thing I was sure of, the steering, ya, its not the best, you will have to overcome the lage tires by working the steering under certain instances. Another thing, the 203/205 combo is a bit loud, not a chunky loud, but you can hear the gear lash pretty good(not sounding like its going to be going boom anytime soon)

well, here are the pics...

Sunday? Reiter? Jeff?

I hope I can make it out!!!

Looks like a success Crash, how did the rear springs hold up to axle wrap, did you get the tires spinning on the Face, it looks damp.

Well I need to make sure I can go (girlfriend is leaving out of town for up to three weeks monday a.m.) I want to see this thing in person!

Stoked about the news regarding the springs, I want to get the REs in the rear on my junk too, and hopefully eliminate the traction bar. It doesn't seem to do much but make the springs go flat and limit my flex :(

Thanks for the awesome step by step build up Crash. I'm sure this thread will remain hot for years to come.

P.S. Like I said before, when I win the lottery I'm dropping my Heep off at your place!!! :D

CYA on the trails.....
 
Many thanks for such great documentation and continuing the thread so long...

It's like "Gone With The Wind" for Jeepers....lol.....thanks for a pleasant afternoon of reading and dreaming.

You have lots of talent and ability....wish I could hand you my CJ and a bundle of cash !

Better yet, wish I could give you your own Dish Network channel....

Thanks, I rather enjoy doing these threads, granted, it makes for late nights and alot of work, but it will either help somebody who doesn't have any ideas, or will get people interested in me doing work for them, either way, I will continue to do these. If you are on por, I also did one for the last buildup on my toyota..
 
CRASH IS A STAR!

Crash sounds like a plan,get a bunch of us Jeep and Toy guys (you guys do know that crash is a toy guy don't you?)OOPs let the cat out of the bag,but any way get all of us together and you don't think the networks won't shiver?-lol,I gaurentee we'd be entertaining-Damn crash you guys live on the wrong side or we'd be wheeling all the time-Crash when you get done with this thread how about showing us some pics of your toy and what you have done to it-would love to see it and hear the story-JC

bad news

First, thanks for all the great comments, and I found the root of the noise tonight, I removed the side cover on the doubler and the bottom is filled with chunks, it broke.
So, now I am heading out to get the whole thing ripped out tonight(very late night) and hope to locate another chev 203 tommorow to get it back together because it IS GOING TO BE READY FOR sunday if it kills me...
 
You need to be here

Should be here i could make a few calls and probably have you one here tomorrow-Any way Good Luck with gettin it back together-JC:D
 
Well, got it ripped out last night and tore is apart here at work today

Contacted the maker of the doubler (offroad design) and the tech guy went over what I had and was VERY helpfull.
The counter gear thrust washer/bearings failed, and looks to be from poor assembly of the unit

In the pic you can see a part of the thrust washer and the chewed up bearings..
 
Damn Bubba!!

Thats fast!!!!

Can't wait till Sunday, I'm bringing all kinds of Cameras!

:D
