I got a matching set of tons from a 77 F250 with 4.10s, flat top knuckles, 8 lug and the bigger hubs for 100 bucks for both front and rear! I got a steal! ! I'll post pics of them shortly.

All you gotta do to get the drums off is hit the face of it where the wheels go with a big hammer! Do NOT hit the lugs or the top of the drums though! Looking good so far! Keep it up.

I really like that bed! That's some Inspiration right there! I've been considering a flat bed but that looks even better! Good work so far!

Thanks! I think its turning out alright considering i paid 200 for the truck :thumbsup: Here is some pics of my OBA, it works surprisingly well! I can fill the 5 gallon tank in no time, and i can fill each 33" tire in under a minute from 10-30 PSI! I used the AC compressor as my pump, and i used an inline air tool oiler filled with ATF to oil the compressor. I couldnt find any fittings that would work to thread onto the stock compressor and an air fitting so i just welded the quick disco straight to the compressor fitting. I just used a stock switch on the dash to turn it on and off so it looks clean. the compressor switch isnt the blue toggle switch, thats my torque converter lock up, the compressor switch is the one right next to it...I don't know how to describe it too well but here's some pics! and i only have about 75 bucks into it!!

Got my OBA set up done! I can fill my 33s from 10-30 psi in under a minute! ! I'll post pics tomorrow when it's brighter. I'm pretty excited to see how it does on the trail :)

pic of the chopped bed, it probably won't have a bed for too much longer... I'm really debating a flat bed! i thought i had more pics of the wheeling trip but i guess not that was a steep climb!

I'll keep an eye on the winch..I think it will be ok though...we will see. It's nit hitting the winch it's just barely touching the bolt on it. I'll think about that with the mounts...I could just make the part welded to the frame go back more for more contact area. I might just wait to do that for when I plate the frame. I chopped part of the bed also. I'll add pics later. I also went wheeling last weekend that I'll put pics up for in a bit.

We ended up welding a 3/8" plate to the frame and making the winch mount off of that, and the bumper is a separate piece.The winch is actually barely touching the steering box. and i got the tires and wheels on my girlfriends jeep!

I'll just post the pics here, it is my build thread after all haha. I do that after work tomorrow

Nope! It's built from scratch with .250 wall DOM tube and 3/8" plate for the bumper mount and winch cross member... built by yours truly (me haha) I can post more pics of it...the winch is tucked under the radiator.

I haven't really been keeping this up to date, but I have got a lot done lately! got the bumper finished and powder coated, got my lift on, and other small stuff! then Christmas came early! its Rubicon Express 7.5" cloils, track bar and bracket....for now its on my same short arm :fs1: a long arm setup and one ton steering is coming soonish though! Then i put my old front lift on my girlfriends jeep and got her shackles for the back...her 32s will be going on soon! and i saw this sexy MJ flatbed!!! this has got me really thinking of making a flat bed for mine, only more of a crawler bed than a work truck like this one

Nice job on the bed Bob! How do you like the leaf sprung front end? I'm eventually doing a Dana 60 and 44 swap in mine and doing leafs seems much easier and cheaper!

Thanks! There are a few really cool spots you just gotta know where to go to find the good ones. I'll have a big update on Tuesday! My winch bumper is going to be done then! And you don't see the winch at all cause it's under the radiator :D

i was sick of having no seat room out of a DD so i sold the grey comanche to get this one, which makes this my 6th jeep! power everthing, everything works, cold ac, moab wheels, 3" lift on 32s! and i got it for only 1300!

Lookin good! The tailgate is pretty neat! Good thinking.

oh also i went wheeling with some wrongler guys, 2 2011 JKs, an 09, and an 03 TJ

got one half door done, and the other is about half way there...i will finish it when i get more welding gas. i think they look alright! if i could do it again i would have not let the door skin get so hot, it kinda got wobbly.

Not too much of an update but I ordered a winch yesterday! And I'll be starting a front bumper build soon! I plan on putting the winch under the radiator for approach angle. I ordered a Smittybilt xrc10. A guy in my local off road club said he liked his xrc8 so I thought I would give it a try. I'll post pics when I start it. Oh also I finished one of my half doors! I think it came out pretty good too

I got mine from a 95+ xj. I've heard wj master cylinder work too but I don't have any experience with them...you will have to make new front brake lines possibly...get the prop valve while your at it!

First off we need pics! Do you have the stock master cylinder? If you do it may not be up to the new calipers volume of fluid they need. I would try a 95+ master cylinder and brake booster.the booster is dual diaphragm which helps a ton! It did on mine! Good luck!

The floor is actually the only place on the entire truck with any rust at all! I got super lucky! And it's actually a j4000. It has an amc 401 in it. I'm still considering buying it! It's only 1500 and has an old school warn winch on it

Guess I should have been more detailed in my fist post! The red one I have is an 89 that I swapped literally everything from a 92 Cherokee. It's nice having the HO! It also had a small amount of rust on the floor so I took care of that right away. This one I plan on making a trail rig/crawler. I already have a rear Dana 60 with 4.10 gears and a spool locker. I'm just waiting on finding a front Dana 44 or 60 and eventually being on 37s. I'll post some pics of the floor when I get to a computer!

My jeep did this when the coolant temp sensor went out. I would try that first because it's only like a 20 dollar part. Does your electric fan constantly run?
