Real pics of my 'YJ' (mostly K30)..........it's come a long way since it was green

[mbryson]

Here's some pics of my project since da 'monkey posted pics last. I tore out the cool bumpers, 'cage' and dually Rockwells due to persecution and heckling and ended up with this.

(powertrain plans--350TBI, 700R4, 241 (or D300)).........however, that's my DD right now.

Yeah, uh....Mark. You're missing something.

Just a few things...........

 

[RockMonkey]

Actually, I think he is missing very little. It all just needs to be condensed into one contiguous unit.

Known things I am missing: (there's always those dumb things you never think of)

Cubic dollars , Front driver/passenger seats, radiator, various hoses, belts, etc., drivelines, gas tank/fuel pump, steering shaft (might have one that will work, but not sure), belly pan, dash/guages, lockers {14 bolt, D60), 4.56 gears for 14 bolt, BIG KEWL tires-38-40", at least a dually 60 hub (I think I have a SRW set on the way, though) and whatever I missed.

Some half or full hard doors and a soft top would be nice, but I'll worry about that when I get the thing moving under it's own power for a while.

What are you thinking about for gauges? I have some stock gauge clusters I'd let go for cheap if you want to assemble a stockish dash, but some custom gauges and a flat simple dash would prolly turn out better.

I'll keep that in mind. That's kind of one of those 'last' things and I might be out of money. I'd like some nice liquid filled jobbies, but we'll see.

 

[RockMonkey]

The way I see it, you need a temperature gauge, and an oil pressure gauge. You can pick those two up for cheap and be good to go. The rest is just luxury and can be added/upgraded later.

 

[bobdog]

Volt meter is not a luxury.

Those are dually hubs that are coming... Is that what you want?

two weeks tops, and it will be ready to wheel

Yep.........that was when I was high bidder on E-bay........lost out.

It'd be progressing faster if I wasn't daily driving my powertrain donor.

I have some Ford duall 60 hubs if you need some. LMK

 

[mbryson]

Here's the latest. BIG THANKS to Harkinoff for getting me spare dually hub so it's at least mobile.

awesome, cool to see it rolling around now...that front is WIDE

I'm half tempted to run it like that for a while. It'll probably get a little aggravating being that wide. I could make a cool personalized plate or something, though. WIDEJ or similar?

IMO, I say why not...atleast get it out on the trail (I know, I have a ton of room to talk) you will prolly have a killer turning radius
