pwrliftin Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Being at college has done 1 thing for me in the MJ world, and that's given me time to think on things before I move home and really start work on the Jackal. I've scrapped the 350 idea for a different idea, and went the slightly easier route of the i6 Hopefully "The Final" Plan: HO 4.0 AW4 NP231 97+front Removable doors, possibly make half doors as well Rusty's 6" longarm 44 rear and 30 front 4.10 gears?(Sounds good, but I'm open to suggestions if others know better) 33x10.50's Chevy Burnt orange with lower camo trim. I wanted to do the 350, but I think that will wait until I get a swb that I can turn into a trailered rig, not an everyday driver. This build will be to: Drive daily Light/Medium Trails and Mud(Be able to drive it there and back) Hauling wood and the ATV, possibly a trailer to haul both.
pwrliftin Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 here's a pic of the Misery Jackel. Photoshoped it in computer apps class. Why i need to take a class on microsoft office programs that ive been using since 5th grade ill never know, they just want my money!!
pwrliftin Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 The rust I'm dealing with. Its all cleaned up now, just waiting for me to come home and put in the new floors. And doing the rocker as well. But thats not till monday. As for now, I'll be sitting in Louisville, thinking about my truck :(
pwrliftin Posted September 7, 2011 Author Posted September 7, 2011 My friends girlfriend is a graphic designer and doing my truck with the paint, tires, bumpers and possibly putting the 97+ front on with some crazy photoshop devil magic. shes pretty good so if it looks cool ill post up here, should be neat
Thunderbear Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 What a perfectly apt name for an 86 4banger. It's like you've driven mine :rotf:
pwrliftin Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Its the name of my dads bluegrass/punk band. So i took the name cause they have stickers made, and it does fit perfectly for the truck haha
pwrliftin Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Well tomorrow is the start of the floor restoration. Hopefully get it all done in the next two days. As for know I'm in Nashville at my Cousins and theres a gorgeous spotless 90 4x4. Tried to find the owner but he wasnt home.
pwrliftin Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Floors are all ground down, everythings cut. After tomorrow for the first time since purchased I will have floors!!!
pwrliftin Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Got all the floors in before I went back to college. Have pics but forgot my camera so it'll be a while before I post them. next time I go home I will be putting bedliner on the floor, rust proofing the bottom, cleaning up the frame under the bed, redoing the bedliner, and painting my interior. If i get time I will also be installing an overhead console and reinforcing my headliner, its mighty flimsy! :mad: BUT I HAVE FLOOOOOORS!!!!!!!! :cheers:
pwrliftin Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Update: New Gauge Cluster "Big Pimpin" Headliner(you just have to see the pic) Floors... coming along Hopefully getting a dana 44 monday. Post pictures probably monday when I get the dana 44!!!
89Comanche4x4 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 From what I can see the rear bumper looks massive!
pwrliftin Posted December 24, 2011 Author Posted December 24, 2011 Yea, it's solid! I want to get a stock one though, but probably put the pipe back on in the winter for added weight and just in case anyone slides and rear ends me!
pwrliftin Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Helloooo dana 44=] Now to get all the fluids changed, clean it up, new diff cover, and probably paint it with some rustoleum or somethin. This one don't leak like the 35! Now to decide, spring over or under? I'd like to keep it to a mild lift, with the 4banger and all. And I need new springs. What to do what to do! :dunno:
pwrliftin Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Sat down with dad and had a talk about the truck, we decided that a chevy 350 would be the best way to go, because I want to do the spring over axle conversion and metric ton pack. Whats the point in having a haul worthy rear end if the engine can't move it?
pwrliftin Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 In the spring I'll be stripping everything in and out of the Jackal. My uncle is getting a new truck, his old one (85 chevy 4x4) will be moved down the street to my house. Going over the engine, it only has 70,000 original miles. Doing a mild build, then finding a th350, np231, and dana 44 front axle. Done with the 2.5, ready to rock and roll and get this truck up and built!
TylerJY Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I wanna drop a 350 in mine someday, they are pretty sweet.
pwrliftin Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Yea, I was lookin to do the inline 6, but I've always been a chevy guy and you can build a decently powerful 350 for cheap
TylerJY Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yeah, my 2 favorite motors of all time are the 4.0 and the 350, if I can't get a 350 some day I'll stroke my 4.0 over.
pwrliftin Posted December 29, 2011 Author Posted December 29, 2011 Anything is better then my 2.5. I would love to put a 6.6 duramax diesel in it, but thats way to much power, weight, and electronics to run lol
cocy Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Its the name of my dads bluegrass/punk band. So i took the name cause they have stickers made, and it does fit perfectly for the truck haha haha I have seen them several time! give your dad my complement I really dig there stuff!
pwrliftin Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Have you really? My dad is "Doghouse Tim" You've probably seen me there with him, I'm the linebacker that follows him around, well at least thats what people say lol
pwrliftin Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Gotta wait till July, I'm still a young'in :fs1: , but I'm sure my dad would have one with you lol
