Ya gonna get the JCR 1 ton steering for it and tom woods drive shafts. There is a cross member but it was just a mock up and isn't finished yet.

that trans cross member is a little sketchy. i doubt those booger welds will get you very far. ditch (or fix) that, along w the others listed above. other than that looks like it will be a lot of fun when it is done. best of luck

Trying to figure out if I really need to put those big ass axles under it, it has 3/4 ton axles on it right now from what I was told.

Thanks, Ya the exhaust is all cut up thats just holding the pieces in place for now.

Too bad you got orange paint all over those Mickey Thompson valve covers. They'd be a lot nicer than those piss poor Proform ones.:teehee: Looks like you have a good base to start with. I hope to see it out at the park soon.
I'm going to try and clean the MT covers up, I like them alot better. We might be out there the next weekend your open, Mboies is going to be helping me out a bit so it might come along pretty quick....

they dont build them selves over a week. takes time. stick with it you will enjoy it and be worth it in the end when you built your own rig that you wanted. it takes time and mostly money. but when you build your own jeep you will want to keep ti since it will have everything that you want or damn near. what ever the wallet can afford.

It's just been so damn cold! It's mostly lack of get up and go that is keeping me from getting this project up and running....

Hopefully I will want to keep it but I have a deal hard time with comitments....

Ok so tomarrow I am going to tackle some of the easier stuff seeing it's not going to do itself.....I got a couple questions.

First off I'm going to try to install the new intake, do I need to use any gasket sealer or anything on the new gaskets? I know I have to put some at the corners on the front and back but not sure about anywhere else.

Also I'm going to install the MSD 6AL in the cab behind the dash. There is a wire that is supose to be ran to a positive off the ignition key can I run a 12 volt lead from the battery itself and wire a switch up on the dash instead?
Thanks for the help.....

you do not mix gasket sealers and gaskets. it will just leak. use it around the corners as you stated.


keep going with it.

im not much help on the 6al as i dont have any experiance with it.

Well I decided to put the 6al in the glove box with the door off. It fits perfect and won't get wet when I go across water or through mud. I thought about putting it on the back fire wall but figured the heat from the engine and all the mud would ruin it. Tomarrow I'll finish wireing it in and then get the new intake on.

No issues.... but my jeep sits at a good height and I try and stay out of the water. However I have been caught in some deep mud and it stays dry.

You may run into issues with interference with a CB radio though. I'm still trying to figure it out. I think the only way I'll get ride of it is if I put it under the hood and build a shield ? But it could also be my ford fuel pump which I know is very common to give off noise. Just giving you a heads up and hopefully someone else can chime in on this topic.
