How about a d60 out of a 89 f350? ;)
-
60/70 from Mule available too. front is CAD; driver drop.
-
How about a d60 out of a 89 f350? ;)
single wheel or dual?
we have a 10.25 already out back
-
Tons for sure?
-
i have much more selection in 8 lug hardware.
not tied to anything, or 2 build stages. fitting the driveline i want may end up a bit long so bigger is easier to streach too.
Might just assemble, paint/rebuild work, new tires, pick up a case for it and flip it next summer, not sure.
-
i have a lt1 that needs a home
-
boat anchor!
-
yeah, a 300hp boat anchor
-
Matt..
If Smike isn't interested in the 89 dana 60, I could be.. That's what I run in my TJ and I've been keeping an eye out for a spare..

Single
Also have 2 10.25 laying around matching 4.10, 1 single, 1 dually both with limited slips, not that anyone would use the limited slips though.

AMC 20 re braked today
rear brake hardlines done
tank and tank skid hung
2.73 gears and LS rear
committed to axles with a RA order just now.
Have a line on a 6.0 so not committed on keeping the 258 yet.
-
have a few ideas throwing around.
use 258 and 727? trans as is locate D300 case
use 258 and bolt on 231 (have), swap front axle to YJ / wheel adapt back to CJ pattern.
have a line on cheap high miles 6.0- source th400/np whatever for pass drop
Have a fresh T15 something from scrambler, have varous D20 parts- source clutch and flywheel parts
-
not sure of year on this unit - don't forget track width concerns with YJ front swap plus adaptor width. might need 6" spacers in back.
-
83 is wide track, might be close to YJ
-
wms side to side was 56"
I have no idea what yj measures
-

I know John that has that listed, he has many other combos and is reasonable. Friends with Will Delphi/brolite/ I bought a 4.0 from him, he bought a 5.3 from me. very knowledgeable LS guy
we were considering that 5.3 for matts car but too many changes with the gen4 change.
-
fuel lines run tonight, several hard parts stripped and painted.
commiting to the 258 and 727.
on the hunt for a D300!
-
slow progress till FedEx arrives today-
motor mounts, trans crossmember, steering gear installed
-
last nights progress:
AMC20 drums installed
3 new ebrake cables and spliter installed
rear hard line along driver chassis rail hung
front D30 torn down to C's, should have ujoints today for assembly with all new brakes next.
ujoints removed from front shafts and driveshafts
engine side motor mounts cleaned, painted, reassembled with new hardware
trans pan pulled and reinstalled with new gasket and filter- looked clean and fresh red.
new fuel pump hung on block
started to scope out body mounting- looks like the frame is missing two mounts- ill fab and add after the body is hung.
-
can you take a couple pictures of the ends and length measurements of your ebrake cables? thinking ahead to making the 20 work in Gus and if I can just use factory CJ parts mixed n matched
-
ends are crimped lugs both sides, backing plate side has a 5" coil spring and typical round cable that snaps into baking plate.
pass side is probably 60", driver side is probably 32" long. spliter to petal probably 48" long, which has no spring but rather 12" of un sleeved cable and then 4" of threaded adjustment at the spiter end.
-
thanks!
-
front axle shafts new joints installed
front axle reassembled with new rotors, calipers, pads, lines
trans mount pulled, cleaned painted, hardware changed
exhaust stud fixed
new pressure and return steering lines run
engine mounted back on chassis
fuel tank decided to leak today- looks like a crack in bottom opened up when skid was drawn tight. crap.
-
front pipe on way or down at south already..
-
body positioned last night.
mounting today taking a little more time than i had though.
2 mounts missing from frame, see where they were cut and ground off, and two other mounts i had to move for the fiberglass reinforcement.
8 mounts done, 2 mounts to weld on, and throw the front clip on should look like a jeep!
-
did those body mounts work out?
i can't even begin to tell you how long they have been on my shelf
-
didn't realize this was a 'glass tub...
8)
-
glass fenders and hood too..
-
body mount kit pretty close just had to large spacers for 2 spots and make holes in 4 frame mouts larger, and new longer bolts of course.
windsheild frame is fiberglass too. javent decided if it will get painted. the grey it is actually is in good shape.
-
FYI - 'glass windshield frames really flex in the wind. It's pretty scary. Cage bracket highly recommended.
-
hard top will do for now. in the summer it might get a real cage if i keep it. just the factory bar going in for now.
entire body positioned and locked down today.
-
deff looks like a jeep..
-
35 shopping....
looks like best bag is from the wall

looks sweet! love the old school wheels
-
Nice!
-
auto trans linkage cluster rebuilt, frame bracket fabed and locked to frame. Linkage extended for body lift.
auto column tail bearing, bearing retainer, baring flange replaced
-
also fun fact: when mounting 2.5" back spaced wheels you have to mount them backwards- humped on one for 30 minutes then after checking that i didn't get sent 16" rims instead of 15", decided to try from the other direction because the indent was closer, fell right on as it should have in the first place.
-
The drop center is your friend.

-
this unit is fun.
tore around shop lot in 4x4 low through some snow banks and around the cartwright lot. starts, stops, shifts and goes no issues.
2.73 gears suck haha
-
insured historic...
-
1.5hr wait at DMV, historic plates in hand.
she never even flipped the title over to look at the back :o
-
successful test drive around the neighbor hood last night.
springs and shocks are pretty stiff, maybe fiberglass is light.

pleanty of power with the 35s and 2.73s for city driving so far.
front bumper fabricated, painted, installed
rear plate mounted.
-
Throw some concrete bags in the back and see if it helps..
-
wow was the htr blower box full of mouse house!
all cleaned out and dash switch bipassed.
-

rear bumper and squirter bottle replacement next. need to order a few other misc parts.
-
choke wired up, rear bumper on and painted. couple test drives. auto still hates the carb at stop and go, but other wise great little jeep
no squirters, temp gage or gas gage. other wise 100%
-
i guess ill find out tomorrow night if i should have listed this thing for more $$
solid conversation with a guy about it coming to look at it tomorrow.
-

solid bit on this guy- pending test drive when weather drys up and title shows up
-
still no title in the mail, says not issued yet on DMV site either.
8 weeks seems longer than usual.
-
out of state?
-
not out of state. forged in all ways though from unknown owner. passed by 3 moron buyers. not much i could have done.
-
Want 74 tags and paper
-
in-state and shady is probably the most likely to get kicked back. 8 weeks isn't crazy long yet, I've had straight ones fully above board take that long.
-
4/8 will be 90 days
submitted email query via DMV site (not expecting happiness from that)
DMV site still says in review so at least its not lost in mail.
-
fun fact:
NYS DMV Title Services Bureau office is not open on wednesdays.

talked to DMV title bureau yesterday. they said I should have got it long ago and she didn't see anything wrong or why yet. said I should have it in a week or I will get a phone call back from her if any problems found.
rear view mirror glued on last night!
-
woo!
-
glad that call worked out.
-
50% worked out- it could be sitting on an investigators desk or it could be just lost.
lesson learned you dont have to wait 90 days to call
i should have called a month ago

title status update:
tomorrow will be 1 week from phone call to title bureau.
I did get an email responce today from my 4/3 "DMV's Ask a Question service" request:
Dear Customer:
This is in regards to your title. you and I spoke on the phone on 04/06/2017, I have a search I for the original paperwork to find out why the title was not issued yet. I have not received this paperwork yet to provide you with an answer. I should be receiving that paperwork any day. If you have any questions please contact us at 518-486-4714.
Thank you
Ada K.
Title Bureau
looks like they plain lost it, or its sitting in a special department for investigation......
-
If it were the latter I've got to imagine the record would be flagged - but that's assuming there's anything that goes through as a record separate from the literal paperwork forms that must get shuffled across desks.
-
found a title in my mail box today, yeah!
-
That's great.

put ~100 miles on this unit today, valve cover reseal attempt was a disaster and made it 10X worse. attempt X2 completed after home. will try again.
-
drove doorless to work today!
-
hope it's done leaking!
-
will know when i get to the dentist later or club meeting after that!
-
not bad. dime size drip today which may be still from sunday trip and chassis washing.
thing is fun to drive. i like it. good power. put in 8.5 gallons after ~100 miles.
i think high beams and low beams are switched on the front wire harness.
pleased!
-
I saw about a dime size drip under it when you parked at Salvatore's too. that might be current status.
-
considering there was two constant drips to about basketball size puddles before i am thinking this may be and improvement. needs a wash down and inspection now.
-
left out in the rain with half doors all weekend, still not clean :)
-
alt belt tightened to solve startup squeek
valve cover leak down to a dime or less when parked.

-
ya ill grab it some time. driver side was ordered yesterday. thanks.
-
driver seat showed up
-
had a buyer for my old seats so they got pulled and gone. installed new corbeau driver seat- not happy. would be good for ridding in the hood but not very comfortable for normal driving. the most upright position is way to far reclined. or its faulty.
PO hacked seat bracket install its pretty crocked in a few dimensions. need to pull, fix holes and glass and mount correctly. should do bed line also. maybe this weekend.
-
I can send the passenger down to south today..
driving a normal car
-
sure, didnt see this but saw your txt.
that would work great, wasnt planning on pulling the seats yesterday haha
-
on way down
-
got a DMV nasty gram about lack of insurance. put Hagerty info into DMV website proof submission, need to check next week if it goes though.
-
looking for leads to send this thing- it just sits. 49 is too much fun
