Crash,

Thank you for posting this info & pics. I'm glad I ran acrossed this thread.

Not only does your work look very nice, your shop looks real nice too.

I see you have an orange tiger striped helper there. I have one also.

Have you ever had to use diluted "Simple Green" on him?

Mine needed it once. Oops!

~JM~

My shop has actually gotten rather small, I need 2 more bays, one so my poor rig doesn't have to sit under a tarp...

That cat, is one goofy fella, I will be under a rig working, and he will come and purr and lay on my chest, just goofy...

 

[crash]

here a wire there a wire...

It was time to jump into a different directio, I wanted to try and hack out some of the wiring and add new stuff into the rig......

So, the first thing, to figure out where to put the projection control unit, but the downfall it has to be easily accessable since it has to be adjusted here and there....

So, after scratching my head, the poor old ash tray had to loose for the cause...

Here is where I mounted it(give jeff easy access to it)

Next, I removed all the dead circuits from the engine area, and started with the rough in of the harness

 

[crash]

Time for fuel

Now that a good portion of the wiring was done, I wanted to get the fuel lines/pump done..

I really wanted to do most of it in hardline, but ran into an issue with finding a filter with 3/8 flared ends, but all I could find in that makeup was in a metric thread..

 

[crash]

The filter

And here is the holley pump. The placement for the pump on the x-member on the front side of the tank worked out slick.

I am actually building for a friend of a friend who is now a friend of mine,lol...

Total bill, hard to tell till I am done, but we figure in the 15k area when completed...

Looks like Jeff is getting a helluva great deal! Thanks for the updates Crash.

 

[trust]

Sweet rig Crash, wanna do mine? Have you used that fuel pump location before? I ask because I initially used it on my CJ5 with Projection and couldn't reliably draw from the bottom half of the tank and had to move the pump. Ditto with the Ford pump I changed over to.

Awesome pictures! That thing is a monster! Thanks for the write up! Good work!

Dang!! I think I just soiled myself...that is some *awesome* work!!!

Thanks for the input, I will keep that in mind, I will be fully testing it out before jeff gets the rig, want him to be able to turn the key and go(and probably bounce off a few trees,lol)

hahahahahahah, wait, heck, ya never know until I go drive it to see what It can do, hmmmmmm

 

[BIG_Mark]

Hey man give me a ring when you go take that bad boy out, I wanna see what it can do too!

mike .. you got mail.. i got your parts.... or shuld i say jeffs parts..

so what kind of kick back did you say i was getting? lol...

 

[crash]

Well, got another load of goodies for the rig, here is the tomkin dual batter tray setup, its really a nice unit, and bloody easy to install..

Got the radiator also, it too is very nice, and bolted right up..

And one thing that was not mentioned to me, it has a tranny cooler on the bottom side, how sweet

 

[crash]

Got the line lock switchs installed (left switch-front, center switch -rear left hand, right switch-rear right hand)

Got the primary ignition done

 

[crash]

And here was the bloody PAIN in the butt to do, the power steering lines. One thing I have found, its hard to rework them, they are thick..

As you can see, its pretty tight, and I will have to test the rig to make sure no more clearancing will be needed on the nose piece.

 

[crash]

looking like something now

It has been a good few days, and getting some things actually very close to being done...

I got the trans cooler in, but can't get the hardlines from the trans to the front of the motor till I get the starter.

As you can see, I decided to also use the stock trans cooler in the rad, so it can also get some heat, as running a trans too cool can also damage it.

 

[crash]

Since the batter tray was mounted, heck, might as wel get the winch wired, and the battery's as well(the black one is temp as jeff has a second batt like the grey one)

 

[crash]

Here is the brakes, the master is out of a ford, with an adjustable perportioning valve, and 3 line locks(1 front and 2 rear)

 

[zero2wow]

Why did you choose to use a master out of a Ford?
