I've been very happy with my OX's. They've always engaged/disengaged on demand without any adjustment. I sorta dug the heavy duty billet diff...
x3 on the Rancho 9000's. On the street I usually run them right in the middle setting at 5. The handling and body roll is very noticeable at the...
Your jeep looks really good, nice proportions and excellent fab work! Cheers.
Looking great! You have a strange definition of "haven't gotten much done lately". :)
Here's some various pics. I'm using MORE YJ shackles, and BDS 3.5" 5-leaf YJ springs. I need to get longer shocks, as they're limiting my travel...
Nope, no need to extend either end of the frame. I used these CJ7 shackle hangers and mounted them so that they were flush with the end of the...
If he ends up parting it out, I've got dibs on the driver's seat. Does your buddy just want something to paint up and run to do the...
If I remember correctly, I think Wagoneer shock towers work nice to give you a few extra inches.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Shocks are Rancho 999113's, 13" compressed/20" extended. I love them, usually run them as a 4 or 5 on the road...
Too bad you kinda need a roll bar, looks good without one. I ordered these steel wheels in raw form from the factory and then had them powder...
You can see a bunch of details in this picture. This is a modified winch mount, again I sleeved the frame for the bolts. In this shot you can also...
I made this swing away tire carrier/bumper combo. Nothing ground breaking, but I'm happy with how it turned out. The bumper itself is made from a...
The body was in decent shape overall, but I really wanted to get it on the road for the summer and especially my camping trip, so I skipped doing...
Here's how the U-bolt flip turned out, real happy with it. I also got a crash course in fabbing up all the brake lines, complete with that gravel...
UPDATE: It's about time I finally got around to finishing up this build thread. I got the 3a on the road in July, just in time for a camping...
Can't wait to follow along, good work! :beer:
Joe, 51 CJ-3a, 3.5" BDS YJ 5-leaf spring under, M.O.R.E YJ shackles, CJ shackle hangers front and rear (frame not extended), home built spring...
AVMechanic: Yeah I've been following along on your build since the beginning, it's looking super good. I like how you've engineered and thought...
My 3a had it's transfer case drum brake removed by the previous owner, but I really wanted it on there. I rebuilt the Spicer 18 which had already...
The axles are 1975 Wagoneer 44's, obviously with the off-set rear to work with the Spicer 18 transfer case. Everything in the axles is new with Ox...
