    HP 44 into a TJ Q?

    The 79 Bronco and F150 axles have a cast radius arm mount in the drivers side tube that is a problem. Find a 76-77 F150 axle that has welded on radius arm mounts and cut them off ( the F250 axles up to 79 will also work but you have to work around the drivers side spring perch). This will allow...

    Transfer Case input gear swap question

    Thanks everyone for the information. I put the two cases together (Chevy input gear into the Dodge case) and it went very well. I haven't swapped the larger outer gear yet but will do it when I take it apart for the final clean and re-seal. I slapped it together so I could determine how it was...

    Transfer Case input gear swap question

    I am swapping a chevy NP241 input gear into a Dodge NP241 case to get the slip yoke eliminator which the 241D case has. The input gear assembly meshes with a large spiral gear for low range operation. Should I swap the gears as a set like you would a ring and pinion ? or would there be a problem...

    Clocking a 241

    I am going to be using a 241D case with the 241C input gear so that I get rid of the slip yoke. I have discovered that the Dodge 241 has a different clocking pattern than the 241C does. However I found last night that the 241D will sit flat using the stock Chevy adapter by removing one of the...

    Ice fishing trips anyone ?

    You will have better luck trolling for alligators when there isn't so much ice ;). Looks like a fun trip.

    Clocking a 241

    I put the NP 241 transfer case under the commando tonight and don't like how low it hangs down. The commando doesn't have a deep tunnel so I can't tuck it up much farther without having to modify the floor. I am losing 5-6 inches of ground clearance which isn't good. Is there a good way to clock...

    Ice fishing trips anyone ?

    My dad has done well there this winter. He's been going on the east side south of the boat ramp and out a ways from the bank.

    Ice fishing trips anyone ?

    We will be going after the burbots and macs. We got some burbots last year and hope to get more this time since I found out what I wasn't doing right last time up.

    Ice fishing trips anyone ?

    Just wanted to find out how everyone has been doing ice fishing this year. We have hit several spots so far this season: Currant Creek has been very good the two times I've made it there. Deer Creek was slow mostly due to too many noisy people. Fish Lake We went last Saturday and caught a...

    GM 350 flexplate and tranny question

    Thanks for the info, I'll have to find a flexplate from an older rig. The jeep will need to do both road and trail so it looks like the 700r4 is the way to go. Anyone want to trade a good TBI flexplate for an older one ?

    GM 350 flexplate and tranny question

    I tried to put on the flexplate I picked up for the 350 SBC that I'm putting in the commando project but it didn't fit. The flexplate that I have came off of an 89 Blazer with a TBI 350. The motor I am using is a nearly new GM crate 350 that was in my brother's carbureted 78 Blazer. The...

    I got lucky twice today

    Thanks, I put on the front grille and hood tonight to see if it lines up and everything was where it should be. I also moved the motor up a bit so the fan lined up better with the radiator opening. I sure wish I had one of those plastic 350 "setup" blocks, it sure would be a lot easier. Now I...

    I got lucky twice today

    Today was a double lucky day, first I got out of jury duty on a DUI case because I have too many law enforcement types in the family and secondly I put the body back on the Commando frame after extensive frame modifications and every body mount lined up dead center. Here are some pictures of...

    Need Trail Ideas

    There are some trails in the Uintas that are fun, Murdock Basin and Norway Flats are two that are reasonably close. The best part is that you can go fishing at the end of the trails.
