is that installed? I bought a reman'd 4.0 long block a few years ago for $1100. $4500 seem pretty high

Is this for the jumping test I've been hearing about? Your going to jump a stock 80 over a 30' dune vs. a prerunner setup:elkgrin:

I love everything you've done. That thing is awesome. I'd keep it somewhat "offical" looking. I like the black stripe idea. Maybe AMBOVAN reverse printed across the hood?

For the DIY'r or if you want to modify, steel is easier/cheaper to build with.

Cuious what you did? Is it plate with a bend or something else?

1) Were you the driver? me = Jealous! 2) more mundane, Are the hood vents real?

I like the simple design, very cool:ylsmoke:

That radiator looks nice. Could you run a 1" body spacer set so that the radiator clears the steering box?

It looks like you could get away with a flat pitman arm. Your drag link looks to be running downhill. I know some old CJs and waggys had flat pitman arms. Glad to see you are doing high steer. I have seen some scary z links

Awesome:elkgrin::elkgrin::elkgrin: We had a good time. They did a great job for a first time. The WWII encampment was neat. I will be taking my jeep next year. I hope they add a swap meet.

Could you store the platform under the bike rack when you are hauling the bike, then just switch it to sleep?

My dad used to say "it's a poor craftsman who blames his tools":)

If you need any help jsut ask, btw, you only use the front waggy springs on both front and rear of the cj/yj, so you need 2 sets.

Waggy springs are easy to install. They are 2" longer on one end, so you can extend your wheel base if you install the long end at the fixed spring eye mount. If you mount them the other way, your wheel base remains stock. They are very flexy and give a 1-2" lift. SOA conversion is more...

I would not mess with swappin EFI onto a 258. The HO 4.0s are cheap and plentyful and produce more HP than the 258/EFI combo.

That thing is a beast:) Are you going to tie the rear rollbar mounts down to the frame? With your comp cut, it would be pretty easy. I would also think about a front cage tied to the frame. That beast is tall. Looking at the rolled jeep in the previous posts, you can see the need. I really...

Any chance you know the sizes of the upper and lower shackle bolts. I have new shackles waiting to go in, but i want to buy new hardware first. The old shackle is coming out via the hot wrench. I'm hoping my fiberleafs don't give me any trouble.

That looks like fun, I'd like to try my Astro on that, gravity would pull me thru:sombrero:

I love the rear shock set up, i will definitely be copying that when my rear shocks start leaking again. I have too much droop for all the more length my stock position can give. I just grounded my park/neutral switch b/c it was so much trouble, although it did make a good anti theft device...

So $7600 for gas When gas is $3.80, deisel is ~$4.03. What mileage does this new jeep diesel get? How much more is the deisel option over the gasser? Just looking at intiial cost and fuel mileage, I'm curious over the lifetime of the jeep, say 100K, what would be the cost per mile to drive...
