You're going to love driving it! It was only on the initial start, Had me baffled why it wouldn't fire. So I stabbed the throttle and bingo fired right up.

Limeyjeeper Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Got the clutch dialed in. Not totally happy with the way I got it to work. Had to extend the Jeep slave cylinder rod by 2". Will probably pull the trans at some point and change the thrust bearing and bearing arm. Dealt with a bunch of leaks, mainly because I am not very good at tightening connections!! Learned that Wilwood's are a pig to bleed. Getting the exhaust done next week. Got a leaking heater core (brand new) more Chinese junk. Luckily I was going to pull the dash anyway to wrap the wiring harness. Still annoyjng. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxyjeep Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Been following this build for a long time and am super impressed at how it's been going. Going to need more videos of that engine and some crazy burnouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exhaust, finish the interior, test AC, probably will need to play with the clutch release bearing some more. That is about it!! or and find a NOS passenger tail light!!

SoCalManche Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Damn this build is sick. Definitely motivating me to get back at it with mine. Are you throwing a roof top tent on that bed platform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Gwin Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Very nice. Where you going to wheel that? I know there's no place around here with trails wide enough to keep from scratching it up. I am guessing you are still in Frisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
