Do you think I should keep the cab or go buggy?

A buggy sounds good, but does it get cold there. I want a buggy but can't commit becouse I like my heater.

A buggy would make it easier to have 4 seats though.

I'm going to keep the cab, if I don't the cage will look dumb b/c it is too tall

Keeping the cab shouldn't be a problem....

I started making a list of things I still need: (some of the parts I haven't checked around on prices for...I'm sure I can get some of them cheaper)
Engine Mounts
Radiator(I'm gonna get a new one $675 from LC Engineering)
Fan Clutch(might not need one if I go electric fans...free up some power too)
Optimas(Grandfather owes me 1 b/c he took it to put in his Fairlane
Winches(not necessary, I won't be getting stuck )

Tubing for bumper, shock mounts, sliders, cage(I'm figuring 5 more sticks)

lol

that's quite an impressive list and exspensive one, too. I wish I had the foresight to make that kind of list instead of getting halfway through something and realize I need to order more parts.

Lists are always good to have, however my MOM found mine and flipped because i had like 3000$ worth of stuff on it. (it was a small list) I like this buildup ALOT! Keep up the good work

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #216 on:** Dec 07, 2006, 03:37:21 AM »

I'm already over 9K into this and that list isn't cheap...

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #217 on:** Dec 07, 2006, 06:10:14 PM »

these are bad....coil-over mounts....$20.00 ea

And the upper mounts $9.00 a pair (I can get my laser guy to cut these)

Front Suspension
Pan-hard bar for axle $25.00

For Frame $20.00

Nice!
Ballistic does good work IMHO.

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #219 on:** Dec 11, 2006, 02:31:23 PM »

HAHA! SUGGIT!

I'm going to get some stuff from ballistic soon....I'm going to have my laser guy cut me some things first...like a aluminum fuel cell and some of the tear-drop brackets

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #220 on:** Dec 15, 2006, 06:37:08 PM »

My buddy Grant brought me an early christmas present...he got me 2 motor mounts and an engine mount to replace the one that was busted when I got my engine. I welded a stud into the block where the bolt busted the cast(not hard to do I found out)

Tonight I assembled the reduction box for my dual case setup...I used a Marlin 23-spline "total spline technology" Check out my bling'n ass case!

This truck is really looking good!

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #222 on:** Dec 16, 2006, 04:03:36 PM »

Thanks...I'm hoping to get some of my cases cleaned up tomorrow. I have a 4.7 case to build for a guy and I need a dummy case for me(light weight

) If I can get that done fairly quick I am going to "try" to put the cab back on it in the afternoon. I'm going to go ahead and start the "modding" of the 2 cases for 4.7's...mine and his both.
I also have to build a x-member for the cases...so I don't think that getting the cab back on tomorrow is a realistic goal.

Try working a ton of overtime, having a 7 month old son (which is great) and your project truck sitting in a garage 45 min from your house. Thats why I don't get allot of progress on mine.

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #224 on:** Dec 17, 2006, 01:25:53 PM »

dead stop on progress...I think I have the worst luck of anyone

listen to how my last night went

7:00pm last night....fine
7:03pm got real cold
7:05pm sick as fu*k
I spent the rest of the night puking my guts up and

*ing my brains out..I could crap through a screen door and never leave a trace
4:00am I wanted to die
I have been in bed all day long..i drug the keyboard over to my bed so I can lay in bed and scroll the internet

I wouldn't wish this

on anyone...it came over me so fast it was unreal.

Well then hurry up and

feel better and get back to work on that truck!

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #236 on:** Dec 23, 2006, 03:58:02 AM »

Mo' progress!...I got a case gutted tonight(finally) and I mounted it to the drivetrain. I started figuring the t-case x-member and the front suspension.

flat belly

I also got a 21-sp 4.7:1 case built for a guy in our group

I sell these if you are interested...$500 and your old case...there can be alot added to them if wanted too
21 or 23 sp 4.7:1 t-case $500 and your old case or a core charge
add 3x drilled flanges
add B Long 4340 output shaft
add MC HD shift springs
add Twin stick
add lowpro drain plug
add complete new bearings
add dual case adapter
and the list goes on...

MADE SOME PROGRESS!

I finally got around to finishing up a few things

1. I got my t-case x-member built

1 3/4 DOM tubing.....BIG poly bushings(3/4" bolts)

Need to finish welding the bottom of it

flat belly

2. I flipped where the exhaust dumps from the pass. side to the d. side(I used all stock pieces!)

3. Cab is back on the frame

engine bay

4. Got some seats

2002 WJ 8-way power adjustable, heated leather seats

Now for the problems I encountered

1. Shifter

The t-case shifter is where my trans shifter should be, and my trans shifter is under my dash

THE FIX: I have to pull the trans again to put the clutch, pressure plate, etc and 4.7's in. When I do that I'm going to convert the t-case to top shift(prob make a 3x stick to incorprate the twin stick from rear cases) from front shift and "dog leg" the trans shifter

2.Seats

The seats are waaayyy comfy, but the are too damn tall. My head rubs the top of the cab.

THE FIX: Cut the brackets and drop them down as much as possible.

I already figured out how to get the 8-way to work but I'm going to have to go back to the yard where they came from and rob the heat button. The heat has 4 wires that work it so I need the multi-switch to make it work.

Need t-case parts?

Wow, that is a lot of parts!

That is a lot of work!

Keep up the good work!
