CJ ton 5

exhaust didnt change since you saw it.  it actually wasnt bad except the honda sound when i was on it

[smichaelR22]

welded the front up last night, new lube.  Trused and adjusted the clutch linkage.  Made a hoop around the ram for some protection.  

Bent up front lower links to clear driveshaft, but now i have crossmember clearance issues.  truck needs some triming, some exhaust work some tube work too, and brakes rerun in the front if i get to it.

blew up the dana 20 this weekend.  sad.

time for small block, SM465 NP205 case with 1350 yokes


bah


jeep works awesome though, just needs some tweaking

[rejeep]

i may have a 300 laying around if you wanna keep it Jeep..
if not LMK whats up with the old drivetrain

[smichaelR22]

dana300 is useless to me unless i write big checks to novak and find another 4\" in my driveline somewhere, but thanks.

i have 2 dana20\"s laying in the garage, but i miss my 205.  it should have been in there.

the old drivetrain will probably be up for sale and parted.  the T18 will definatly go up on ebay since they still go for 700-900$ like i paid.

when you do decide what your going to do keep me in mind...
dont list it without applying a little friendly pressure...

[smichaelR22]

got some rock lights mounted up (need wired) and did an electric fan coversion last night.  

planing to add oil to shocks and start really tuning the suspension.  need to mount center limit straps too.

[smichaelR22]

just an update:

last few wheeling trips have gone well other than a puking radiator / cooling problem.  hopefully a flush and fill, new hoses not kinked and a clean radiator will help that.  

Air shocks tuned with more oil, work great now.

double v pullie swaped to power steering mount for york install in the works.


short list for big dogs:

get cooling fixed (new fan controller)
get rear disk brakes on
add to cage.
get york mounted.
make a tool box
get a radio!
mount Nitrogen tank

[smichaelR22]

cooling hopefully fixed with mechanical fan and radiator moved.  fixed torn cooler and mounted on front.  need to plum rear brakes and fix some other stuff.

[smichaelR22]

cooling issuese fixed, brakes plum, case #3 swapped in.  no issues last trip.  

Got a new hair cut and some tube added.  lost the boat anchor winch.

[Wingman]

Next, you\'ll be losing body panels and going full tube...

Looks good, Mike!

[CoraC143]

that\'s the plan!

[smichaelR22]

next project :)
