Thanks Tim - mine is 2" in the front. My understanding is they switched to 2" when they switched to Saginaw steering.
Hey guys, hate to resurrect this thread, but had a few quick questions. I'm about to pull the trigger on this thing. I ended up stripping the...
Oz thanks for the chart. That's a useful reference. The plan is definitely a lift and larger tires. Either 2" with 30" tires or 4" with 31s....
I'd have to ask him again, but I think he said 4.09 or 4.10 for the ratio. 4.09 is in my head, but seems like an odd ratio.
Thanks Tim. You've been quite helpful on a few of my posts thus far. Certainly a wealth of information. Let me ask you this, another buddy has...
Good Morning All! I am working on restomodding a 71 Jeepster with my 9 year old son. It will be his first vehicle in 6 years. I was...
Well, after some thought and discussion with a buddy who owns a local Jeep shop, I've decided to add some work to this engine. Given that all of...
The timing is correct and the chain is tight. If I had to guess, given it's condition, it was replaced relatively recently. Almost no slack or...
Yeah I know it's quick. Just hate dealing with the chain. Your picture is about as good as I could get of it. Dead center just above the...
Good Afternoon All! Hoping someone can help me out. I am rebuilding a 1971 Jeepster with my son for his first car. We recently pulled the...
Thanks Tim! Looks like I've got flanged. Awesome. Cool you're in MA. I was born in West Roxbury/Boston and raised mostly in Southern NH. Now...
So, just an update here. FINALLY got around to picking up the Jeepster this weekend with my son. He's super excited. His Grandfather just...
So 77/78 CJ narrow track D30 disc is basically a bolt on replacement? Obviously aside from the changes to the brake system to account for the...
The bolt pattern on the new ones is 5x5.5. I just wasn't sure of the width. All the pictures of Jeepsters have tires that look significantly...
Hey all, Stupid question here. I'm looking at picking up a 1970/1971 (seller says 70, title says 71). It's 6 hours away so I'm trying to figure...
I agree! My son wants to be able to wheel it (we're a Wrangler family), so it's going to end up more of a restomod vs a straight restoration. He...
Hey guys, sorry I was camping with my son this weekend, the seller finally found the serial plate which he swore had fallen off. It's an 8702...
Thanks Tim. Good info. I have been looking at Novak for research and it looks like they have th400s for sale and they'll put all the adapters on...
Thanks Jim! As luck would have it shortly after the initial post I stumbled upon a 70 Jeepster in much better shape that's already an automatic...
Perhaps a dumb question. If doing the shifter on the floor does it still need a steering column overhaul? I was looking at doing the th400 swap...
