I've been lurking this site a little bit since I moved back to WI, figured I'd start posting up what I've been building lately.
This project is a buddy's 95 YJ, started with the 2.5 caged squirrels with 240K on the odometer, the 42RE, and NP231 tcase, D30 with the CAD front and a locked d35-both with the original 4.10's. He did some mild wheeling, moved up to wrangler MT 31's, Solid diff covers, homemade rocker guards, Genrite quarter panel guards, and a ciderblock for the skinny pedal....
Plans:
302 from an 91 F150 with 69K on the clock
AX15 w/ AA adapter plate
NP231 with super short SYE
HP D44-5.13 gears, spooled
9"-5.13 gears, spooled
3 link front, leaf sprung rear
102" WB-(shot that one right away)
21" belly height
I don't have pictures of the motor swap or of the universal mounts that we used originally, that was all done in North Carolina. My buddy did the wiring-just spliced the Furd harness into the Jeep harness. We're not able to use the stock gauges as the ohm's are different, so I'll probably be building a dash and running all new gauges.
I already geared the axles, so the next step was the trusses:
I started with cutting 2" wide strips of 1/4" plate and running them lengths wise on the axles
Garage is messy I know, not alot I can do about it when I have 1/2 of a 2 car garage to play with
I had to grind the top of the housing down a little to get the strap to sit where I wanted it.
