    The family Commando build project

    I do have some parts I need like side view mirrors, tcase cross member, mounting hardware for the top, steering column parts, and the trim that goes between the windshield frame and the doors. I'm sure as I dig into it I'll find more that I need. When I am done I will end up with an extra front...

    The family Commando build project

    Your rig looks great. My cousin still has the Willys with the tj frame so the coil idea is gaining momentum. I will start tearing the rigs apart and finding the parts I need. I'll have to look into the Teralow for the d20 if I can sell off enough parts.

    I was planning on using the GM th400 and swapping in the d20 output shaft from the Commando so I can use the 350 from the Blazer.

    Throttle body injection question

    I can wait 3 months, I have so many projects now that I won't have time for the 502 for a while.

    That's what I thought too. The th400 that came with it has the big cast adapter on the front that adapts it to the AMC 304. I'm guessing the th400 ia a buick pattern but I'm not sure.

    The family Commando build project

    I would just need to find a TJ frame so I can cut off all of the parts. My cousin has one with an old willys wagon on it that I may be able to talk him out of.

    The bull nose is going away, I have some of the cj7 parts to swap on but need a few more.

    Don't worry they aren't goint to stay on it, I'll just have to find someone who will buy them and help subsidize the project.

    The family Commando build project

    I just picked up a 73 Commando for our family jeep project. I am going to swap parts from my late brother's Blazer into it and hopefully come up with a nice jeep that we can use for family trips to Moab so those who don't have a jeep won't have to rent one. I am going to use the low mileage 350...

    Throttle body injection question

    Thanks, I'll check out those sites. What did you do to the AMC distributor to make it work ? How much would you need for the TBI ? I still need to find out if the 502 could use the same TBI body with different injectors or if it needs a bigger bore size.

    Throttle body injection question

    Thanks for the info, I'll have to do some more web research. I did score some of the parts I'll need for the 350. I picked up a TBI 350 that a guy was selling from a 90 suburban. I ended up with the intake manifold, throttle body, and several of the sensors. I just need to find the rest of the...

    Throttle body injection question

    I have a couple of GM engines that I would like to convert over to TBI from carburetors. I have seen listings for kits that let you do it but they are a bit pricey. The engines that I have are a couple of GM crate motors one is a 350 from my brother's Blazer thats going into a family jeep...

    What should I do with my brother's old Blazer?

    Well here is a picture of it. The 350 4 bolt motor has about 26-28K miles on it and runs great. It has an sm465 4 speed, 205 tcase, d44 front and a gm 12 bolt rear. He had the dual exhaust and the springs replaced not too long ago. The body has the standard rust that these get and the interior...

    jeep help

    On my son's 87 there is a plastic cover that goes over the electrical connection area on the wheel well behind the battery. Alot of the circuits get power from that area. Did you make sure all of the grounds were hooked up ?

    jeep help

    Sounds like you are losing power for multiple circuits when it dies. I would check the main power connection terminals right behind the battery under the plastic cover. A good voltmeter test should tell you what is going on.

    Cherokee with 3 link - help needed

    What is the heim joint bolted to ? I couldn't quite tell from the pictures. Is it going through the floor ? It looks weak to me beside bieng oriented wrong. From the looks of the upper arms there isn't any shock absorbtion going on either. From what I have seen there is usually at least one end...

    World Class Fishing

    I like to fish all over the state but some of our favorites are Flaming Gorge where you can catch kokanie salmon, lake trout, bass, and several other species, and the Uintas. My son and I were up in the Uintas Friday and caught some really nice brookies just off the Mirror Lake Highway.
