XJ build with the help from Vice offroad

[AtlasYota]

Well, gonna be using the orginal mounting point for the front. And going to be moving the rear on the bumper. So by doing this the wheel base will be extended.

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

are these the 63" chevys or the 56" ones?

 

[AtlasYota]

63inch

 

[mileshigh]

what is the leaf lift ratio so to speak. Like is that a favtory chevy spring or is that 3ich lift spring?

 

[customcruiser]

most people adjust the height with add-a-leafs, blocks, or extended shackles.

the 63" Chevy is a popular toyota swap it adds about 3" of lift if you use stock shackles.

 

[AtlasYota]

Yea, alot of the yota guys uses the chevy leaf swap.

 

[customcruiser]

Damn man, gloves and a welding jacket...or at least long welding gloves. I can only imagine how bad that sucked.

I think that is way everybody around here welds..... shorts, sandles, tee-shirt, and NO gloves.... you loose all the feeling when you wrap it up!!!

also..... those are little baby hands so those joints just look extra huge.

hey man... like your plate says....
GIT-R-DONE

you need to stick around and stop traveling so you (I mean that dude with the huge taco) can finish your jeep and we can go wheeling.

 

[AtlasYota]

gotta make the money.

 

[Hyperlite]

Lookin good John....
Here is my chevy swap with buggy springs. Removed the overload leaf so I gots to have the long shackles for the lift. Usually Chev swap will give you 3" lift, but you need extended shackles. They are cheap and will flex good but soooooo long.

welding

i usually use gloves. i think i lost them. i hate it when the weld spatter sticks to my wedding ring.

 

[multijeep]

hey tim... my name's travis i went to uwharrie with you guys last year. can i be next? lol

 

[black92se@pirate4x4.com]

Is the beginning pics the intended ride height? Otherwise looks like a good start.

 

[AtlasYota]

no, dont think it's gonna be the ride height. probably a tad lower.

 

[firetoy]

yeah

got to get this thing done.

 

[AtlasYota]

lol, got to get the money to finish it up all the way.

 

[customcruiser]

so you are just gonna keep your truck at that nice guys house for another year......

 

[AtlasYota]

nah, i'm thinkin of storing it over at your place. It'll fit in with the 4runners and firetruck.

 

[Hyperlite]

nah, i'm thinkin of storing it over at your place. It'll fit in with the 4runners and firetruck.

Ha yea right 4 4Runners, Early bronco, F150, and the fire truck is enough. To say it another way.....NO JEEP.

You can park in the street, I wouldn't like the neighbors to think we were getting soft.

 

[firetoy]

storage.

i charge for storage.

 

[AtlasYota]

oh yea, thats right. I paid you the other nite. in monopoly money.

 

[Hyperlite]

You should start parking on top of it like you did to that guy in the white car.

 

[multijeep]

so hyperlite i guess you're the guy thats going to uwharrie with us

 

[AtlasYota]

Got some more done.

 

[AtlasYota]

Some more

So, what do you guys think so far?

 

[GONOVRIT]

Looks good man, I see why Tim didn't make it to Harlan for the second time this year I guess
