Going Commando Build

Looks good. Not that tall either from the looks of it.

 

I havnt gotten to drive it down the highway yet but it is nice and smooth jumping the hill in the parking lot here at the shop compared to the flatty

 

Got a little bit more done today, Some rock sliders installed, Put the Corbeau seats in, still have to bolt in the seatbelts...still alot to do but slowly getting there

 

you're definatly going to learn to put that back tire on a tree to let you turn better...


lookin great so far.

 

Looking good so far. I like the look of those seats. Was thinkng of getting another set of Sparcos for the CJ but your seats look both comfy and supportive.

 

Those are the corbeau baja Ultras. A little wider and taller than the regular baja ss. Ive been very pleased with them, only thing is the side bolster is kinda cumbersome to get in and out.

 

Well I have the Bestop lowback buckets now. They're new because the PO had bought them for the project, but I will probably upgrade when I do the frame off resto-mod evenually. I loved the sparcos I had but can't see a need for adjustable seats in my little CJ for as little seat time that I'll have in it. Nice looking ride again man!

 

Got a couple things done...

Made a dog holder downer....the chain hooks to a loop on her harness



Then I went up part of this trail and broke the tcase adapter



And Casey decided to work on it some



So now its ahome with the tcase pulled out waiting for seals to go in the new to me adapter. Also sold the wheels and tires.. and the new ones should be here in a week or two....and started doing some body work tonight. One project at a time right

 

I'm guessing you snapped the ears off the trans/xfer case adapter. Mine did it 2x, so don;t even bother with a replacement unless it's the billet Novak replacement adapter.

I even tried to tie a few of the holes where the 20 bolts up and it would still break, and that was with a tired 304 and 40" tires.

 

This time Im going back with the stock one just so I can get it rolling again. Mainly because I already had a spare and I want to get it rolling again. If/when it happens again its either going to get the novak adapter or a 205 put in.

 

The new tires arrived today, hopefully the wheels will be here tomorrow. 40 ltbs, pic is them next to some mounted 42" iroks.

 

I think I've finally picked out the color for the jeep...got a good bit more body work to do and build the tube fenders then it will be ready

 

Looks good,Glad to see you out on the trail with it.

 

Ask Casey to join us too, any lady that will wrench on a Jeep should be fun to be around.

 

Well heres the new wheels/tires installed

 

NICE.... yep you're gonna be trimmin fo sho...
