my new/first cj7 project...

[carchameleon]

i\'ll call the guy tomorrow,  then i\'ll talk to Keith and you.


by the way, what do you guys think about painting my frame yellow?

[MrMindless]

keith loves it.

I hate it.

(he does not check here often.  in a few weeks [maybe never...] he\'ll confirm that I gave his opinion correctly.)

[smichaelR22]

my frame is stop sign red :)

POR15 it before you shot color....



did you get some scout 44\'s yet?      :-D

[carchameleon]

add it to the list...

what do you think of that 91 wrangler idea?

the big things i\'m trying to come up with are a plan and a title...

[smichaelR22]

i like the idea of getting another jeep and a title... im hesitant to put all that time and a significant amount of money the way that motor looked in the pics.  it does look fuel injected which is awesome and might be worth it if its a descent motor-

[smichaelR22]

now that im looking at that listing... is that the same YJ that was at the Pines last year the day the RIT kid rolled the TJ?  I remember the body kit and goofy sides? or did they all look that way those unmentionable years?  :)

[GTJake]

NO! they did not all look that way! here are some pix of my \'87 when i had it. we put alot if work into this one. engine/trans rebuild, paint, rough country lift and shocks, wheels and TSL/SX tires....

With the 91 you will get a vacuum actuated front axle, which are a pain unless you replace it with a cable actuator or there are ways to permanently engage it.  This keeps the front axle spinning all the time even when in 2wd.

i had a problem with that on mine. somehow i broke it off and had to use some JBWeld to fix it

[carchameleon]

i assume a 92 wrangler would be the same?
    i found another on craigslist with a broken frame (http://rochester.craigslist.org/pts/674710486.html)  

what if i used that stuff and dana 44s?
how do i find some 44s?  (probably a future mod)

[carchameleon]

oooooooo...

good way to get a title

[smichaelR22]

now your talking....  but what tranny does it have, and how much / whats left?

[meangreen]

the best 44\'s are the scout II axels and if you use a wrangler frame there is no out boarding neccacry, but if you use the cj you will have to out board your frame. not that hard to do though.

[carchameleon]

scout 44s are probably hard to find arent they?

[smichaelR22]

i saw a scout on CL for 300$ with axles and drivetrain/rest gutted out.... kick my self i didnt have the room at the time    :(
