Ryan Larry Summer Salt ZJ Machine

[M4wdFab]

emptied out this thing, hit it with a back back leaf blower.

put a battery in it and bottle fed brake clean to it.  cranked right over and runs mint. 




not sure what the plan is with it.  needs a bit

[M4wdFab]

im half tempted to dig though the shop and make a parts pile to see if i can get this hawg operational.

im thinking i have used misc junk:

limit straps
shocks
steering tie rod
steering drag link
driveshaft parts most
single ended ram for assist tap or full hydro
fuel pump / filter
harnesses
floor tin
suspention bolts / hardware



need to source:
fuel pressure regulator filter for returnless ZJ style
hydro hoses / orbital
calipers
long side front shaft to eliminate CAD
8lug tires/wheels
clean out fuel cell or procure ZJ tank / fuel cell

Super dirty but I don’t think the tube work is bad. Didn’t look at the welds or tie ins though.

[cracker]

Now it's clear! Thx for the translation Troy!

I was trying to link it to salt road. Now all is clear!

[M4wdFab]

salt road i didnt even catch that but ill take it haha

ya ryans old ZJ, Larr took a tumble at big dawgs and then Nick and Keith did some work on it, i might have even gone out a time or two to lend some procrastination supervising on it at some point haha

not sure what the plan is, but its landed here for its next storage life. 

i think ill order a fuel filter regulator and throw one of the 19$ ebay fuel pumps on that cell after a good cleaning, see if i can hawg a drive shaft up and maybe a steering link to get it moving and steering on its own.  then see how she looks. 

to bad i purged all my old 39s on H2s this thing needs some rubber then it would really have some ambition 



i see you can get orbitals on ebay for about 110$ so thats probably the route to go instead of hack and tap and assist with the box, not sure on that.  hydro to me so much easier.

took a ride on the scissor lift today and pillaged some parts from storage bins

found some shocks, limit straps, some drive shaft parts, a fuel pump, almost enough 5pt harness parts


ordered a chang wong 0-140psi fuel regulator for 17$ and took a peep at the fuel cell.  black foam but looks clean inside.  needs a return port and some AN8 to barb fittings.
