Oh man i remember doing thay nash bridges cuda back in like 04! Ill have to see if i can find one on ebay. I also remember doing the mr norms dart way back in the day! Tamaiya made a zj orvis kit that was extemely detailed as well.

Was def a fun one if you are looking to do it exactly like the box i used this paint in my airbrush ("Individual" brand metallic blue) i was very impressed by it.

I'm excited to start this one soon. I recently learned that two factors killed modeling in the 70s, video games for one and then the fact that that president jimmy carters cunsomer advocacy changes that required an actual finished product to be put on the front of the box which killed alot of thr imagination i suppose. One of the reasons i was excited to see that retro throwback amt lightning model at wal mart.

I used to do scale models alot as a kid 20 or so years ago and i recently git back into it. We just had a blizzard here on the east coast so i was able to finish up this j10. Anyone else build models not many jeep ones out there.

Thats such a cool hat! Love the detail on that islander wrangler!

I was actually worried about that too. (You can see my measuring tape in The picture) i checked them with a set of calipers and they seem to be identical. The older bearing retainer is a bit shorter so ill use it just in case.

I picked up a motor tranny and transfer case from a 98 2.5 tj today(only paid $150 I'm going to use the ax5 for my 4wd swap) ill bring it to work with me next saturday and redrill the holes for the t case clocking using the jig we have.. i'll be using the bearing retainer and bellhousing from my ax4 as well as clutch fork to keep it external slave... I'm giving the engine and transfer case to my boss since i have no use for them. As far as i can tell the pressure plate and clutch disk have the same p/n whether its an 86 or 98 so i will prob keep these ones because they are brand new. Does anyone see anything wrong with these plans?

Thats honestly a really good price

Awesome man...I'm glad its going to a member.

awesome 13 years is a long time. I honestly think this is one of the only active old format forums still around and in like it that way.

I posted the info in the classifieds. It just occured to me that if I installed a roll bar it would cover up my NOS cargo box lamp so jt hurts a little less in that aspect lol

Idk I'm to stupid to figure it out. With my luck they will be LWB and perfect for my truck. Oh well. Whoever gets them better share their adventure so i can enjoy it too lol

So i think i found two roll bars....CHEAP like under $100 cheap. from comparing pictures i beleive they are the real deal. I can't get them don't have time. They are around 5 hours away from me Id bee happy to pass along the info if we can confirm they are oem roll bars. First one: Second one:

Falveys must have been quite the dealership in its day we've parted out and scrapped hundreds....yes hundreds of jeeps from all around new england (as far as maine and upstate ny) that came from falveys

We are all set for space at deadjeep. Ad we draw closer to spring we will set a specific date. Now i need to figure ouy if ill be roxlckin the mj or the f150 dd

I just saw this on the shelf today j8s bosch injection pump. Looks to be rebuilt.

Not to hijack your thread but did you ever get that diesel going? Ray has dealership workshop manual for the diesel

I can ask him saturday. I know hes got a a mint chili pepper red 99. But its like MINT mint and he wants like 4500 for that one. I think it has like 50k on it.

Frank have you talked to ray? He might have one he'd sell cheap. -kelsey

I was thinking the same thing. I have never seen that type bracket before either. Everyone one ive seen mounted on the side for the dana 35 and 44. What does the one for the amc 20 look like?

For the record... i don't mind him as long as he sticks to the fords and dodges

Took ride to pick up a new headliner from @acfortier. I recovered it along with the visors using the instructional video posted by tyler over at bleepinjeep. They came out pretty good. now to install them in the truck. Prob going to install the NOS cargo box lamp first so i don't have to take it down again.

Mounting the plate literally anywhere else would have been a better option. This photo does to my eyes, what nails on chalkboard does to my ears.
