you think a little different, i like it, any update?

 

i see no submissions for Feb...

 

I dont have a whole lot more done. Corner peice of front bumper on one side almost done, I need some more metal cut. Working on removing axle from front end. Im selling a kdx 80 dirt bike from the 80's to a guy so I can get a front d60 axle from pull apart. Put some stickers on my rear side windows. Will eventually be getting Rock Krawler 3 link long arm kit.

 

Haha. Just realized I was in the reflection in the window.

 

cool

 

Got me some wheels. American racing python 16x8 W/bfgoodrich radial T/A's that are almost brand new. Not sure of what backspacing but they stick out more than stock wheels do. Internet is being dumb cuz I have dial up but Ill try and get pics up asap.

 

There we go

 

This is where my axle will sit backwards wise. The rear end will be higher once I get some rear shackle mounts made up. I have a 7 gallon aluminum tank for water for drinking or anything else. It fits right between the man frame supports (on the underneath side) and it will sit back a few inches from the diff cover. Will set up a pump and a fill pipe on it. Got it off my moms old 87 cherokee where it had been used for water. Not sure why cuz everything else on the jeep was stock. I also have an 20 gal. aluminum cell for fuel waiting for me to pick up from where I had it shipped. Only took a few days to get here. Will be puting it in cargo area. Need to get some 1/4 for the shackle mounts and some 1/8 metal for fender wells. Or maybe thicker Idk. Ill measure the old fender wells.

 

Got a fuel cell off ebay from BD Racing. 20 gal. W/sending unit and 2" sump. Using stock dry fuel pump. Need to find some bung connectors for gas and vent hoses.

 

(I know this is irrelevant but oh well) Went to a lake on friday to ride my dirtbike on the designated trails. First time there this year and I'm am out of shape, my hands were cramping which was the biggest issue. Had a lot of fun though. Went by myself and meet a group of 5 guys 2 my age 2 older and 1 younger kid and rode with them on some gnarly trails that are not kept up. I always meet nice people out riding. I was riding my Yamaha ttr 230 with a bad battery and no kickstarter had to bumpstart it every time. Waiting on my parts guy to get a seal for my KDX 200 so I can be a 2 stroker again.

 

So having a job is great and all but I dont get hardly any time to work on my baby. But anyways I am looking into getting a Rock Krawler 3 or 4 link I am not sure wich. Dana 60 front axle eventually so 4 link is stronger but a good bit more expensive not sure if I really need it or not. have to go to my local dealer to order it. But I did just get some Teraflex revolver shackles from a member on here and Im looking forward to making my rear bumper/ shackle hanger and gettin it set down on the suspension.

 

Careful putting your Jeep on those cinder blocks, I've seen them just collapse sporadically.

 

Yeah I will definitely will be careful with that. Update on pulling parts together. Just got a couple racing style seats out of a pontiac fiero that I would imagine are reupholstered because their in really good condition. I will try and put them on the cherokee seat rails since thats really the only way it will work. $17 from pull apart. And I put these in my camaro I just got a couple weeks ago.

 

So this should happen pretty soon (aka whenever I find the time around my work schedule) I will be getting a Rock Krawler Xfactor long arm upgrade which is a 3 link and also their bombproof track bar and bracket. Still do not have a front axle. Need to find a 8 lug drivers side drop D44 or a stock 60. My local pull apart does not seem to have any D60s. Everything I saw was fords older 4x4 I beam setup. Will be going back to search more thoroughly. Pretty set at the moment on running 38's or 39's.

 

I just keep gettin hit with curve *****. My camaro had some issues that needed to be taken care of so theres $1200 out of my pocket. But found some good condition 37" Mt/R's on craigslist on h1 wheels for $700. Have had a hard time finding what I need/want for tires/wheels so when a decent deal comes up then I go for it. If I do get them I will be selling my 8 lug 16x8 American Racing Pythons with 3 falken wildpeak tires that measure about 31". Waiting to hear back from that guy. But will see if I can get them over the weekend. If I do then I will definitely get an 8 lug 44 or convert a 44 to 8 lug. Till then heres a pic of what my jeep should end up looking something like.
