Hey all. Been a while. Yes, that's the same Jeep Steve passed on, I bit on, and the rest is...well, in my garage right now. To recap: I came, I...
Been a while since I've posted but I'm getting back into this project a little. Spent a little time this morning putting on a junkyard power...
FYI, when I did the NV3550 swap in my CJ-6 I retained the stock crossmember but rather than space it down I cut out the inverted U from the middle...
I overheard "this lever turns us into a submarine and this lever turns us into a shark!."
Figure I'd pop in and update this. Been a while. After getting the steering back together it kinda sat while I did that RESQ1 project for Discount...
If it's the blue CJ in your avatar it doesn't look like your driveshaft angles will be an issue. Unlock the front hubs, tranny in Drive (or First...
Sorry, but doesn't sound like an easy fix upstairs. Rebuild time. Or find an AX15 and stab it in with the conversion kit or Dakota bellhousing.
Not a "hauler", more of a "puller". Here's my old-school tow rig: 1/2-ton '72 J4000 (4.09 Dana 44s w/ drums, TH400, Dana 20). All stock right now...
Congrats on getting the -6 welded up, Steve. Hard Top: It's gonna stay on through the TTC event (assuming I get voted in). I'll take it off for...
Some photos of my top here may help http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?97323-Hazel-s-New-(again)-CJ-6-Hey-Trombetta-Thanks!&highlight=Hazel
Eh, I don't think I'll bother. It's just a dead-stock '72 J4000 (360 2 bbl, TH400, Dana 20, twin Dana 44s w/ 4.09s and drum brakes). I'm gonna put...
It's not. I'm elbows-deep in another magazine project that's more complex and is sucking up most of my free time. I'll be heading up to the shop...
Pull the five bolts that hold the PTO cover on the back of the Spicer 18 and put the drive gear back in place if the teeth/splines aren't damaged....
Tranny in gear, T-case in Neutral for flat-towing. Good thing you kept it short. Start simple. Check for spark, then fuel, then valvetrain (air).
Oh yeah, sorry mods. I really thought this was gonna be the start of a new project for me. If you wanna move this to Off-Topic or eBay/craigslist...
[IMG] The frame had some issues, but overall looked like it could be retained. The body too if you just didn't care. The tranny and T-case felt...
Well, to those of you who said I couldn't go wrong at $300 - incorrect. The seller was only 10 minutes down the street from me, so I hooked up my...
Technically it aint mine yet. I'm hooking up the trailer to go grab it now. Check back later today since I have absolutely no idea what I'm in for...
Progress moving forward. Probably not what a lot of you guys on this site wanna see me do with this sucker, but it needs a new frame and a new...
Alan, if you dont' wanna deal with rebuilding it yourself, I've done business with Anaheim Gear up near you a few times. I won't recommend a place...
