I'm not sure yet but the coils are Rusty's 808's so they are supposed to be 6.5"-7" but for some reason it looks taller? Still got alot of work to do to get it even close to done but I hope i will be done soon. I have to get all the lift stuff done and the replace the brakes and front axle & DS u-joints. Then finish all the cutting on the body so I can get the body straight for paint.

I measured today and it is right around 7" and the coils I got used so they should not sag. I mean they are very beefy.

OK I got the pass. rear together and a tire on for testing to see how much lift my 1/2 ton springs will give me and I was very surprised. It looks to have given me almost a full 6"-6.5"!!!! I was looking for 4.5"-5" so this is very surprising. I will have to take it all back apart to clean an paint them with some of that tractor paint, add the spring clamps and I need to add another stock main leaf to the pack cause the 1/2 ton leafs or a little short in the rear of the pack which will make it weak and maybe break. But I was very happy to see that my gamble worked out. I also have gotten the chance to see how much this jeep need maintenance, I will have to replace all the brakes and it looks like all the U-joints. Better I fix this stuff now before I put the 33"-35" tires on and every test drive have something go wrong you know.

The front bumper you are working on looks identical to the one I had and sold here in Ohio.

Well I'm not working on yet. I was supposed to get it off a guy on offroadohio.com but it has not worked out yet. I hope to be able to get this week though. Then I well start working on it, Hell I may even use it as a base to build a few? Ya never know?When did you sell it and for how much?

[Doobie]

it looks to be coming a long very nicely.

I'm waiting n money to com in to get the parts I need , so not much done but here is some engine pics I have been cleaning and going thru the engine.

[Doobie]

it helps. I know it does. I have one just like it. I just wish there was a simple way to keep mud off it.

[BigBadXJ]

I was going to get one of those filter covers.

[Doobie]

they dont work too well. unless you use an oil.

[BigBadXJ]

waiting on my black steelies to come in and I have tire changer....ssooo..I could not wait and wanted to see what my old SSR's looked with the leafs.

[BigBadXJ]

OK so now I know my leafs will work I took them back apart to clean, paint and get the shackles off( PAIN IN M ***!) even though I'm not going to need them for lift I want to put some betters ones on and I'm going to put on one of those shackle box's. I also pulled the axle out to clean, paint add gears and ZJ disc brakes and realized it needs a pinion seal and axle seals. So I may look for a 29 spline instead of building up a beat up 27 spline. I got pics I'll post asap. I also got a RC Track bar for $70 which puts my 7" lift cost up to $300!!! HAHAHA. But I still need the shackles and shackle boxs. Then I will do the front axle, hack-n-tap, bed coat the inside/ rocker panels and rubberized coating in the wheel wells and under carriage. Throw the 33's on and she how she runs.

Thanks, Here is a few pics I fiberglassed up a crack in the header panel and a pic of the emblem that I am putting back inside of the "JEEP" in the middle.




She needs some TLC but it should come around.
