Dirteatr717 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks mike :cheers: Here's a pile of parts I've accumulated and have to put in :wrench: Fan shroud, electric fan, sound bar from a Cherokee,driver side floor pan, 4.88 R&P with bearings for my rear axle and my or fab rear bumper isnt in the pic. Lots of stuff I have to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Comanche4x4 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 i want one of those sound bars! but I'm afraid my head might hit it.... i see you have a mini bike haha did you build it? also is that a rust hole over your fender flare on the rear passenger side? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm afraid I might bump my head too, I'll get it in there and findout, I was suppose to get a crunched up front fender and cut out that rust and weld it in but I need to locate another fender. Also I have a 2 wheel problem :help: I grew up racing BMX then onto Motocross, so I have quite a few of everything you can imagine haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm keeping my eye out for a rear Dana 60 an a set of 37s! I'd like to go with 4.88s or 5.13s whichever I find a good deal on first and a Detroit in the rear, not sure what I want in the front yet. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 It has officially begun :wrench: :D after this weekend I'm Gunna move the perches and start buying all the seals and bearings and piecing together 3/4 ton chevy discs for the rear with e-350 calipers.. Then I can start on the front :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Took a 500 mile roundtrip to my other house in the mountains and did some easy trails on my property, not a single hiccup I cleaned up the d60 and painted it black for now to stop it from rusting, cleaned my interior :ack: ( it needed it really bad ) and had a great weekend 8) Here's my truck, my uncles 46 cj3a and my dads chopped and caged 62' chevy suburban in the back :thumbsup: The view from the top of my rock quarry I'm hoping to have some real updates soon :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 hows your front caster? that just doesnt look right to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yeah it's not lol I have too much positive caster, need to bring the pinion up but it'll mess up how my coils sit, it drives fine now but when I put my new axles in I'm Gunna make sure I put the coil buckets on at 0° with the pinion angle setup already, with the suspension cycling it should work well and be a good setup with my 3" stretch up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Pick up a set of tires today :yes: they're 38.5/14.5/15s I'm going to use them for mockup and probably end up putting them on my dads trail truck, I really wish they were for a 16-17" rim so I could actually use them with 3/4 ton disc brakes. Oh well I just can't wait until it looks like this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Finally got my bumper mounts made and got my bumper bolted up! Incase you didn't see it earlier in my thread it's an Or-Fab XJ rear bumper. I think it looks pretty good and should help protect the bed corners :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Been busy building a stubby bumper, made 2 out of some scrap I got at work I think I'm going to add a bull bar at some point but I still have to drill the d-ring holes and get some new hardware. I'm happy with how it came out :waving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camjeep3 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 you can run a 15 on some 3/4tons if you get the right wheels and grind the brake a little. I would still just run a 16 and do it right. Truck looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Got my rotors cut and new pads on, stops a heck of a lot better than the glazed rotors :roll: I also Borrowed some 33" old style MTR tires from a friend for my rausch creek trip on Monday! Gotta check all the fluids and I'll be ready 8) edit: Forgot to mention that I finished my stubby bumper, it came out pretty good for a couple hours work :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That bumper is looking good bro. I love all the updates, nice to watch the evolution of the truck. Also, hate to correct you but the old Willys is actually a CJ2A. The split windshield and bow pockets on the side of the tub give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After my trip I should have a few more updates :wrench: And I don't mind at all, the guy we got it from said it was a cj3a so I just went with it, thanks for the heads up :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Got back from another roadtrip late last night, this time my truck cruised 700 miles roundtrip with ZERO problems! I also hit 125k miles! I guess she's broken in now :dunno: :yes: Went to Rausch Creek offroad park on Monday and crushed my passenger rocker in the comp course, got an action shot of it being crushed :oops: besides that, no problems whatsoever! Drove back down to Lancaster PA to our hotel Monday night, then back up to Hershey Park Tuesday morning and then the 5.5 hour drive back home. The electric fan really makes a big difference for trails and the beach. I'm really happy with how well my truck performs 8) I didn't take many pictures so I have to get them from friends and post em up later :fool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
