JEEPWERX CJ7 Buggy Style

[JEEPWERX]

And another thing... Smike you always talked about your 211 not caring about super clean steel. Ours is very finicky.  It needs well prepped steel to be happy.
But not the 200. I was welding through whatever I found in the scrap pile. 
211 had Hobart .030
200 has whatever was left of an old 2 lb roll of Lincoln.
Picked up a bunch of new wire from Mahaney's saturday.
IN WELD I believe.

Brake lights and reverse lights were one thing we decided to add at the last minute.  Thankfully we did. We had no idea how much road driving we would be doing in Moab.

Ruff Stuff Housing
Amazon LED Lights w clear lens
Shop made brake switch activator on the Wildwood pedal assembly.
Reverse lights are manual for now.

I think the narrowed tailgate came out nice.
Was so nice having a tailgate again.

did you end up changing up the roof lines for a sheet of alum?

looks good

[JEEPWERX]

No not yet.
I had too much work to get done before EJS.

In an effort to not jack up Gif's thread, I'll post my response here.

Yes Mike.
1 pump is adequate for crawling.
2 for anything involving down hill or throttle applied.

This is what I'm running for MC and Pedal Assembly.

Pretty sure I went with the 1 inch bore.
Maybe I can play with the balance?
I honestly didn't really spend too much time setting it up. It worked fine enough out of the box. But performance definetly seems to be declining.

Bearings are all good.
I suppose I could check rotors for warping. I remember cora had very similar issue on her CJ7.
Turned out to be wheel bearing.
But her pedal would drop to the floor.
This pedal is and has always been consistent. Never a change in feel.

2 pumps!  i get it now haha

For Smike when you have a moment to calculate.

Current airshock pressures.
No people
No tools
Front 2.5 Dia 350# @ride ht
Rear 2.0 Dia 375# @ride ht
Recently Added 25 psi at full extension to rear to adjust for tools. so not sure how that translates to ride ht pressures.
Do you need to know shock angles?

that puts your at front corner spring bearing weights of 520lbs and rear corners at 555lbs at ride

would need more info to add in the 25 psi adjustment, and no angles do not matter for what we are doing since your trying to plop in springs in the same angles / mounts. 

next we need what length shocks you bought, how much shaft you want showing at ride (50/50?), and the diameter of the shock shaft

[JEEPWERX]

I bought 14" initially
And then bought 2 more 16"
All are 2.0 diameter
Currently 5.5" shaft exposed front
4.5" exposed in the rear.

Are you guys running Pac or Viper springs?

we have mix match.  with the 2.5" CO's spring quality is not as important as they dont tend to woble up as much.


Get the best springs you can buy for 2.0's   PAC or Eibachs id go with. 

most of ours are blue coil and a few vipers.

[JEEPWERX]

What sizes should I order?

are your air shocks now 14" and 16"  or?
