this seems like anything but a slooow build, man your movin fast. i been watching these build threads one after another and i gotta say this one looks like it'll be done before anyone can blink. From my view it looks like your throwin this together like i make a P&B Sandwich

lol...It will slow down drastically here shortly...Once the motor is sitting in, and the axles are together, I will have to wait until I get more money saved up to continue..

i can't wait to see more.

What are you thinking about for lift and whatnot?

looking good so far man!

Tikitgvr · 11-13-2008, 05:15 PM

If you read the begining, it tells you I am going custom lift with coilovers....Nothing off the self...

Well, I got a few things accomplished yesterday. We got the frame notched so that the ac compressor would fit, and the motor will sit into the mounts.

Had to let it cool after cutting it (I know, looks like ****, but will be cleaned up and boxed) so we decided to go spend the rest of the day picking up my 1 tons

SRW 14 bolt FF

60

And yes, it tooks us awhile to get the truck out from behind several other vehicles, and then get it somewhere we could load it. It was then a PITA to get it loaded because it had to go over the fenders and all we had was a winch....it truely sucked...

Tikitgvr · 11-16-2008, 05:45 PM

Well, ITS IN!!!!! I got the motor set in finally. It was a PITA doing it by myself. I finally had to loosing the block bolts on the motor mount and then place the bolt through and tighten the block bolts back up, but it worked and is siiting on its own

Also thought I would take a picture of how much the tranny hangs below the frame. The trans is level, and hangs down this much.

Not sure what I am going to tackle next. I may pull those axles and start on that, or maybe cut the frame on the rear of the jeep. I am not sure if I want to set my gears up on the axles yet, will probably wait until all the welding is done, then do them. I need to order my fuel cell, coilovers, and tube so I can keep moving, but money tree is bare atm..

I see you covered some ground over the weekend.

I'm very excited your moving closer to the finished product ( yes I know your far from the end but hey its two steps forward). I can't wait. Keep postin.

Any plans on what your doing with those tsl's? They look like they have about 95% tread.

Yeah, they actually have less than 200 miles on them. They dont belong to me, I only own the axles and the guy doesnt want to sell them atm....You are about the billionth person to ask about em..

ep191 · 11-20-2008, 12:51 AM

haha understandable considering they are awesome tires, to tell you the truth i was just wondering because i dont have the money to buy them but i love to dream...

edit: awesome build so far btw

Tikitgvr · 12-06-2008, 03:56 PM

Well, got my new wheels today, now I got to decide if I want to recenter or run adapters...

Tikitgvr · 12-24-2008, 05:55 PM

Well, Santa Claus showed up early today. My new 5.0 Tcase. It was packaged extremely well, and showed up 5 days early. It had so much spray foam in it, that the case was still freezing to the point it hurt when I touched it.
