Looking good! Sent out the wing window today. Also i was just wondering what your were thinking about using for fender flares? In almost @ that point on the latest project and am outta options!Got a full with dana 44 out of a chevy pickup up front and can't find anything wide enough!thought you might of come up with something.I've got the Zenons on Black & Blue but that has a waggy up front and they still only cover a little more then half way.

Boy, guess I better start on the massive duct tape removal on the door,lol....

I thought about flares for about 5 seconds, its really a mute point on this rig,lol. But your only easy option is to use extended rubber TJ flares, not sure who is making them, but I know they are out there..

This is a Hammer-mobile right Crash???

I mean it looks great but I hope it gets used on trails that it was built for!!!

Otherwise I might need to make a swap with Zero

 

[crash]

I wouldn't worry about that mark, I am pretty sure the jeep will get used pretty good...

 

[BIG_Mark]

Sweet, I can't wait to see it go, live and in person!

Hammer Down!!

Hey Mike/Jeff I'm using the Warn extended 7" TJ flares to great effect on my CJ7, gives increased clearance as well as fit&finish. They're (quite a) bit more expensive than the XEON etc crappy plastic stuff, they're real poly flares that flex & bounce back, I reccommend them. Mike's seen me stuff them into trees, rocks etc and they still look brand new

Mike, when you get a chance I have some exhaust questions...

Dude......Flares are for Posers!!!!




( Just some local PNW Boll Bustin going on here mods, no harm meant or taken, I hope! )

drivelines

Here are both drivelines from high angle driveline out of california

The rear is a one ton CV with a 1350 at the corp 14 bolt

Front is a long slip and I upgraded the 1310 to a 1350 at the dana60. If you notice how much long slip material there is, thats on purpose to help give the driveline more clearance at the trans pan.

 

[crash]

So, I decided to take it for a spin around the block (only in goldbar can you do that with a rig with open headers ) and its got some poop, even with no o2 sensor and the projection not even close to being adjusted correctly..

Ok, so time to use the tool out in front of the shop, the ramp

I ran it up the ramp till the rig would move no more due to that pesky stuff we call sheet metal(over rated )

Looks like only some minor trimming

 

[crash]

hahaha, fresh meat (don't worry kate, I will only be removing enough to not hit, I will leave some for you to remove too )

lets start here

Well, that helped a little, was able to get the rear springs to flex to the point I was looking for to build the rear bump stop setup.

looks like a lil more will have to go BA BYE

 

[crash]

Here is the rear lower portion of the bumpstop

So now I just have to build a short platform on the frame side and the rear will be done..

 

[bigwalton]

Is all that's left the exhaust?? Is there any bodywork (other than the wheelwell clearancing and flares)?

What's the exhaust plans? I think this thing needs cutouts like Lee's dad's ride... those were so cool, pretty pointless, but cool.

bump stops and shocks, and I will more than likely have to notch/box the frame on the front for the draglink (hard to tell, but looks like its going to rub)

I am going to leave the exhaust up to a guy I trust up north, but it will have a flowmaster

cutouts, as in flares?

 

[bigwalton]

no, exhaust cutouts... I didn't get a look at exactly how they worked, but there was a little lever in the cab that he pulled and it basically opened up the pipes before the cat, turning it into open header funtime!

He pulled them in some downtime on the trail and scared all of us half to death.

Apparently they're legal enough to pass smog since they only go to open headers when you pull the lever, otherwise it's a normal exhaust.

all, ok, I know exactly what you are talking about, wow, haven't seen those in years, and I didn't think they still made them...

 

[AsylumNut]

Are you planning on running any sort of torsion-bar on the rear axle to help with axle wrap?

I am not sure yet, I have no idea how the rig is going to react, I have never used these springs. But if need be, when it comes back later in the year for the cage, I will have to build a tract bar...

 

[crash]

OH YA!



It lost a bit...

The picture does not show it, but I will have to relocate the washer bottle, there isn't any fender well left where it was mounted

 

[crash]

Got shock...

Here are the new shockes all mounted. They turned out reallly good, about 1/4" left on compression with the bump stops, and about 1" on droop, just perfect...

I was able to rework the origional bolt on front top shock mounts and redrilled the frame and upped the bolts to 7/16's..
