jeep build up 2006

[jeepgod]

what is planned is an install of a rear tube frame... 1/4 elliptical rear suspension with triangulated 4 link...

i got about as far as i could today on the jeep itself.. cut out some of flooring so i could get the "B" pillar in.. which i have to install first, since everything is going to be based off of it.. also put the bender together.. i am waiting on some drop anchors so i can attach it to the driveway... and start bending up the cage...

the jeep as i started today..

the jeep with the body tub on it.. i bolted down the front two mounts to keep the firewall stable.. that is ebayjeep "mike" starting to cut the flooring out

here is a shot of what was cut out of the flooring.. once completed there will be none of the stock flooring left...

another shot of what was cut out...

ya rob.. we have come to the conclusion that a million years from now some 3 eyed digger will find them in perfectly good shape..

 

[Caver Dave]

Dang Pat! Where's the pictures of today's "progress"?

 

[rockcity]

ya rob.. we have come to the conclusion that a million years from now some 3 eyed digger will find them in perfectly good shape..

somehow this would not surprise me...

hey i am interested in the bender that you are using, what brand is it? what is the thickness of the tubing that you are bending?

 

[jeepgod]

its a pro tools 105... the tubing is 1.75" .190 wall... bends it nicely..

 

[rockcity]

I don't want to see practice bends

I wanna see bends that are used on that Jeep

stay with it and have a few s while you are bending, it makes for a fun time

[jeepgod]

redid the both seat mounts and used some stock jeep sliders for both of them... we cut the rear bottom side bar out and lowered it 1.5" to get the seats to tilt back some... instead of building it into the mounts, my upper 2 links will mount off of that bar somehow.. haven't come up with something i liked yet.. waiting on getting the 14b together and wheels on it for some measurements.. put the dash bar in.. front "A" and some of the harness tabs are in.. and also picked up the 14 bolt carrier i needed... just have to weld it up.. and then cut the plate for the bottom of the axle... also got a new tool box... well new to me.. its the big gray one.. i have my 5 little boxes all in that one now.. so i was messing with that and getting the place picked up a little
here are some pics..

 

[grapehead]

im now feeling motivated to work on mine. thanks man!

 

[jeepgod]

well tonight we got the front part of the cage done.. i am waiting on either fixing the plasma cutter at work.. or getting some tanks for my torch at home to be able to cut some .5" steel for the bottom of my 14 bolt.. so i can set the gears up in that and get under the jeep so i can make the 4 links.. hopefully this weekend i will have under the heep and starting on the 4 link suspension...
here are some pics of the completed cage..

 

[rockcity]

looking good. let me know if ya need anything

 

[Elliott]

is that thing gonna fit outta the garage?

 

[drkelly]

Looking good. Have you given any thought to clocking up the TC?

DK

 

[jeepgod]

yep.. should slide out with some air out of the tires..

and i tried the d300 clocked.. but it interfered with the tranny... TF727... so i unclocked it to have clearance for the front drive shaft... it will still be a flat skid plate even with the bottom of the frame...

 

[jeepgod]

started on the 4 link yesterday... had to move the spring mounts.. and i actually got to fab up one of the lowers.... it only took 1.5 hours to make one cut on it with the chop saw... mmm.. must come up with a more efficient way...

here it is on the jeep...

some more pics of it welded on... still not sure how i am going to get the brakes on.. mmm...

 

[jeepgod]

got lower links all the way in.. started on the upper axle truss.. i had to raise it to keep the seperation..

 

[blt2krawl]

Can you give me a little info on those seats? Thanks I didn't see it anywhere else.

Nic-

i got the seats from summit racing.. they have two styles of the plastic ones.. i actually got them with the covers.. but they are really tight so i doubt i will ever put them on..
