Im personally a fan of the half top... but you could deff fit 4 ppl comfortably under a full top... and +1 on going with a hard top...

Jealous, I've been wanting to do a 4Bt swap in something for a DD.

 

[awheelterd]

i hate you.

 

[Hammerite_05]

Today i started tearing down my rear waggy dana 44. i got it at the local junk yard for $100.00. it was pouring down rain and i forgot to pull the diff and look at it before i purchased it.


WELL......

needless to say i will not be buying another axle without pulling the diff again. i had to beat the drums off with a sledge hammer...lol. then when i unbolted the shafts they would not come out. the splines were rusted together. so it took a ford redbelly with a log chain on one side and a 245 massey furgusson on the other to pull them out. i dont think anything was dammaged though. so i will be sending all that junk to the sand blaster now.

 

[1stgenxxx]

looks like fun.....I wonder how much it will cost to get a 29' tralier sandblasted? LOL

 

[Hammerite_05]

I dont know but how about throwing the axle in with it......or my whole Jeep. LoL

How "weak" is it with the turbo?

 

[Hammerite_05]

because the it has right at 300 ft lbs and fuel economy.

 

[stone4x4]

mine has over 700 ft lbs
i was just screwing with ya
are you looking to ad some HP to it?
are you running air to water or air to air cooler?

 

[stone4x4]

is that why mine smokes so much?

 

[stone4x4]

[Hammerite_05]

is your a 4bt or a 4b?

 

[Hammerite_05]

what is yours? i cant be a 4bt with 700hp can it? you must have a 6bt in it. i am going use the air to water if i can find one...lol. i am just puting the hx30 on it and thats about it.

ft lbs stands for Torque itsaround 325-350 hp
and yes it has a turbo custom made for it makes plenty of boost
yes it is a 4 cyl cummins b model with a ve pump
no air to air or air to water (i don't stay in it that long)
i was raised in the edge of hamT what part you from

 

[Hammerite_05]
