Project sloooowwww build!!!!!
Well here is my new project.
97 TJ :smt025 , Interior is in excellent condition. Plans are as follows: Chevy 6.0 SFI GM 4L80E Atlas 4.0 Dana 60 front w/ 5.38 and Detroit GM 14b Rear w/ 5.38 and Detroit 4-link front and rear Coilovers 108" wheel base (or as close as I can) Hydro assist Steering Comp cut rear and High line custom front fenders Custom Cage Custom center console with heater ducting to the rear. Seats (undetermined) w/ 4 point harness Autometer guages Depending on funding or how bored I get with the build, it may get an underdrive of some sort.       Here is my new bling....2004 6.0, with a 4L80E    I also was just suprised by the wife the other day, she is allowing me to expand my shop another 37'x27' and install my lift. I had all the trees cut out yesterday and this week I will go get the lift from over there and get my slab poored...then I will start the slow build as money comes in...

Well, just odered my 5.38 gears for both axles, along with the install kits, and detroit lockers. I also ordered my body lift (required for the huge motor), Advanced Adapters motor mounts, Advanced Adapters TJ V8 Radiator(that ***** is expensive), and Advnace Adapters 4L80E to Atlas adapters. Hopefully tommorrow or monday I will be ordering my Atlas II 3.8 Tcase. I will add pics when it all arrives........So the build begins!!!!!!
On a side note: I just found out that it is possible to retain the stock guage cluster and use the stock guages except for the tac, but I can send the cluster to a company called Redline Guages and they will redo the guts of the tac and send it back so that I can use it also.... |

Well, I got it put into the shop today:
   The tear down will start tommorrow morning after I order my Atlas. I am going to try and get as much done of the teardown as I can. I am off until Monday, so if I get my other stuff in this week, I may get the motor and tranny in it this week also, then I can start on getting it running and then go from there... |

Man I would kill for a shop like that, 25 years working on trucks and I still gotta do it in the outdoors. Good luck with the build.

Well, I got a little more done yesterday.
 Didnt work on it at all today, left around lunch to go and pick up some new toys I found..... Millermatic 200, with full bottle of gas, guage, welding helmet, 2 pairs of gloves, 2 40lb spools of wire, and a bunch of extra stuff...$750. Its 20 years old, but is in friggin mint condition and welds perfectly...   Also picked up this Drill Press from the same guy. Its old, but has a brand new 3/4hp motor on it and is 1/2" chuck size. Has a swivel table that also will change angles...The table will also drop to the ground if needed...$100  Will get back to work on the Jeep tommorrow...hopefully will get the rest of the tear down complete, and maybe the body lift on it.... |
