Building my new yj

[MrMindless]

Fleetpride can die in a fire - you can read my screed in vendor reviews. :-)

I\'ve had good results with Thruway u-bolts, but mine are 5/8\", not little CJ/YJ sizes.

one small (important) correction to a pretty thorough list: a springover is MUCH more than a 3\" lift.  It\'s the axle diameter (including spring perches) plus the thickness of the spring pack.  Probably more like 5-6\" over what the same setup is SUA.

That lift is more than scary! The spring pad isn\'t even welded on not to mention having lift blocks on the front.  Yikes! :scared: :badidea:

You\'ve got a little work ahead of you. :hack:

thats a death trap

[keiffer79]

yea i know i got a lot of work ahead of me but i knew that when i bought it for 600$.
 i figured i could not go wrong at that price.

WOW , but even with the blocks of doom its still a good buy its the rest of the drive line is good.

The motor looks like a recent build. You could probably just get some new u-bolts, remove the lift blocks, and wheel it from there. Check out the drive shaft and brake line lengths at full flex/stuff.

Good deal!!

pay special attention to the frame at the steering box. YJ\'s are known for rotting there and then at the spring hangers.

with some work she can be a really good wheeler. 600 is a steal if the motor is good.
what transmission?

[keiffer79]

The rear hanger area is a little got to box tthem in.  It has 359 turbo

How\'s it coming? Any new developments?

Pretty slow gun season kinda interupted the build
