mini beast Project: Stock To Beast!!!
MiNi Beast replied to MiNi Beast's topic in MJ Hardcore Tech: Epic Journeys to Greatness
more parts for build and borrowed tire groover from my man lover to groove some tires for Choppergar, he needs all the help he can get, :teehee: and a set a tires for me to run at the Dog party. :rock: priceless tool :bdr2: my template for steering box braces TJ brackets to hang leafs, be reinforcing these for use as only cause I do not have my factory LCA mounts. As well as my beefy shackles, (run for now, may need to run a boomarang shackle later. Got some steel from a buddy as well and some extra steel at a welding shop, their scrap stuff so just let me have what I need. Been tending to Nakita, she has been having mini seizures, :( so had her in the house for the last week while so damn cold out. She is doing better now but she is a old baby, just turned 11 this month. :beerbang: -
Ratio Change from 3.07 to 3.55
MiNi Beast replied to flint54's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
your overlooking your lack of potential. front axle swap is straight forward unbolt everything and bolt it back up same way, and you alignment should not change unless you add a bigger lift in which would require to LCA and/or UCA. So buy a Haynes and follow it step by step to do swap. The rear, again pretty straight forward as well. look for said axle of your desire, being a D35, 8.8 or 8.25 or D44, many to choose from all have their advantage, which should be chosen based on your overall goal as so your not spending money on same thing twice, save money in the long run, now leaf perches just cut them off, grind them smooth and I recommend buying a new set ($20) way easier to work with, then I cannot believe you don't know someone that has or can weld for you, perhaps for some beer and food on a sat or something, if all else they can be install at a local welding shop for like a $50 at most, then the rest u-bolts, well need new no matter what axle you get, so you have $40 into new set of grade 10 ones, so you have roughly $110+friend or weld shop labor+ a set of axles for about ($250/$300) = So about $410 +gas=$450 roughly which is way better then your $1400 you were quoted. option as well is just buy a matching set of used gears and simply pay for the install kits and labor to have them installed, around here gear install goes for about $250 per axle, so gears be had for $100+$150(install kits)+$500(labor)= $750 still beats just the cost of labor you were quoted. Are you sure you don't want 4.10's? What are your goals or what are you using the truck for? figure that and go from there. -
be putting D60 internals back together, mess with CB and try to figure it out and get it working, and hook up new 12v plugs in the truck. Have to start early going to be a long day. I think I may need to go get coffee now. :yes:

Nice writ up for half doors.
MiNi Beast replied to MiNi Beast's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
my doors are removable for same purpose. Only you have to tend to is the hinges on the body it self they tend to rip and will need to be reinforced or welded. then with that done then you should have trouble free sealing. :yes: -
well got me a H.O. full block, as to replace my lower end, then going to pick up a head to rebuild with new valves as be doing a cam swap as well.
-
so what I go back with some air and yank them suckers.

yeah gone, only have the trac bar left. So now have to install the leafs come next week. Going to keep the D30 under it for now though as still not done with the d44. but getting closer. :yes:

Electrical issue: I push the brakes and both blinker lights come on on the dash and my turn signals up front lite up, off the brake and lights are go off, yet my blinkers don't work via the switch. wire crossed perhaps or bad ground i guess? then now, last week, I turn on the head lights and I have no dash lights, I have lights outside but not inside. I'm puzzled.

4.0 renix engine issue: go through oil, about a quart every half a tank, I changed rms and oil pan gasket, rocker cover leaks a bit but nothing to worry about. I do have some good blow by that I catch in a 20oz bottle and fill about 12oz every tank. at times there will be a rasping poping sound like fire crackers going off (enhanced being i have a snorkel), and I have crap for power, i manually shift the aw-4 in order to drive, as in if I put it in drive it does not take off, lacks power, drop in 1st and it takes right off. So my thinking is I have bad rings and my head is toast, what you think?
-
I so want to do that. :rotf:
-
Sold
-
well with bigger tires you travel further in less time then with smaller tires. if that helps. :rotf:
-
also will have a rustys trac bar available as well for $50.

just wondering if any one would be interested in my LA set up,these were on my truck when I picked up the MJ, now as I will be doing a front leaf conversion on my rig in the next couple months. How it is mounted is not recommended and highly suggested to make new mounts off the frame rail. I have driven it like this and wheeled it a few times with caution and have had no problems, still heed to the warning. The LA is made up of 1.25x.25wall dom tube, and square uppers, and uses heims. Rides great and flexes great, hit the road 75 with a smooth ride less my bald tires :yes: And as I won't be needing the coils as well can offer those up, they used and bent like tall springs do but they work and give around 7" of lift. I was thinking $250 with coils? as it sits with coils and 2'' pucks on coils. on 33's
