  1. What started as a rear bumper project quickly escalated into some restoration work. This truck really was/is a survivor (rust-wise.)
  2. I beat the original 3:07 D35 to the punch and swapped in a 3:54 Chryco 8.25" Picked up another disco HP30 to match gears
  3. Ye olde original engine was on it's last legs so I picked up a ~50k H.O. engine from a '95 XJ. I changed every gasket on it before swapping it. Before: Donor: After! I ended up modifying the Renix intake to work with the H.O. head and exhaust manifold. All it took was an EGR delete plate and welded-shut tube, some minor grinding at the corners of the intake, and a trimmed gasket.
  4. Added about an inch of lift with some Chevy drop shackles and some spacers, trimmed the fenders, and installed some 32x11.50 15s
  5. This isn't really a build thread so much as a journal. I posted up as many of the old pictures I've got from over the years. Its been a great little truck and has many memories attached to it. TDi swap, frame stiffening stuff begins on page 5, three-link stuff begins on page 6. Keep in mind that I am updating this thread as I progress. Got her in October of '07 from another CC member: KYMJ A nice, rust-free, 4x4 MJ with all the right stuff for a good price. Had to jump on it!
  6. Chrome works great! Thanks gogmorgo!
  7. I keep getting this... "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." And "save target as" and "copy shortcut" are greyed out when I right click... (explorer) I'll try chrome right quick

  13. Subscribing. Really dig the professional quality work and attention to detail! Keep the pictures coming! Oh, and I'm stealing your switchplate idea :yes:
  14. Spruced up the fuel tank skid.
  15. I've got the stock bumper-mounted hitch up for sale if anyone is looking for one. http://comancheclub.com/index.php?/topic/44521-Hitch-for-stock-bumper.--MO-(STL)
  16. For those who haven't looked at their other conversions; this kit should allow the use of all of the OEM Jeep acessories, AX-15 / AX-5 transmission/flywheel/clutch, and OEM engine mounts. I'm not so sure I'll purchase the pre-fabbed harness from them because I'm comfortable with wiring. While I'm a little disappointed that my mTDI ambition has to go bye-bye, it looks like the Volkswagen Pumpe Duse TDI is quite a little engine (once the camshaft is dealt with.) I'll be on the lookout for an '03-'06 Beetle, Jetta, or Golf as a donor.
