My Little 4 BANGER

Not sure if I posted my Lil big best before or not, It rides on a 2in BB, 31s, with many mods under the hood. Has plenty power for a 2.5L. I do not run a electric fan nor any type of chip upgrades. I believe it would be that much more electronics or motors to go bad. I do have cold air intake, insulated air tube, a 4.0L throttle body, a custom high velocity throttle body spacer macthed up to a bored out manifold. Also has a accel coil and wires to spark up the NGKs gapped at .041, backed up by a magnaflow exhaust. Nothing to extreme. She is pretty quick and holds her own with its 31s and 4.10 gears. Right now its mainly a daily driver since I got ride of my truck about 8 months ago. Look forward to getting another vehicle for wife in order to go exploring. I like mild offroad and dont like to break anything. My wish list includes a low profile roof rack or trail rack, medium duty rock sliders, diff protection. Just removed back seat and plan to build a funtional deck and tool boxes. Well here she is.

A Little Larger Jeep

My stock M35A2...

This is my 01 XJ on a recent trip down the Hole in the Rock trail. Southeast Utah.
It was a fun trip.

My 03 Rubicon testing new suspension a few years ago.






Recent upgrades LED headlights, PIA ATP lights, Brush Guard, Winch, Tire Carrier and swapped out the rough riding black steel wheels with Mickey Thompson classic black alloys.

Just a detail - more to come.

Low power nav lights like CUCV's have?

 

[mallcrawler]

westernhunter, I think I just fell in love with your XJ... Nice shots!

Low power nav lights like CUCV's have?

Yes! They are called black-out lights. The one in front projects a flat beam of light, not too wide, that is angled towards the ground and hits the ground about ten feet in front of the vehicle. Those in back provide a tiny bit of illumination, just to see where the vehicle is. The idea is that at night, the driver gets just enough light to be able to slowly manuever the vehicle -usually at walking speed, because ground troops are usually walking behind - and that's why there is a black-out light on the rear. Black-out lights preserve the night vision of all concerned, and do not afford a sniper a bright light source to aim at. I like the way they look and do in fact use them, out on the trail, exactly as intended, when I do not want to disturb anyone or affect my own night vision, and at home for the same reasons. This one has a regular 1157 bulb inside. Some have LEDs. CUCVs have them, as does just about every other US military vehicle since WWII.

I am curious what part of the country you live in where this is a concern.

 

[M35A2]

LOL, there is no concern. I was simply relating the design rationale, since CL referred to them as navigation lights and they are not exactly that.

Very cool M35A2. I'm familiar because in the search for my 4x4 two years ago I seriously considered the M1009 which was equipped with something similar. I ended up with an '89 Jimmy b/c I wanted A/C and a trans with OD, not to mention I'm more comfortable working on the gas 350 as opposed to the 6.2L diesel.

Might have to find one of those for the Jimmy... Where did you source yours? It looks to be in fantastic shape.

I got it from one of the popular on-line military vehicle surplus vendors. I'm pretty sure this one came from Saturn Surplus. It is a new knock-off (plastic housing instead of metal like the oldest military units were), as I recall it was not expensive. Mounting is by one stud that also serves as ground. It came with a 12v bulb. I scuffed it with a Scotch-Brite pad and hit it with Krylon satin black, as it is cast in OD green. That photo was taken after it had been on a year. The light comes with the proper waterproof military rubber boot connector; I kept this as I am converting my Jeep military-spec wiring and connectors. I shrink-wrapped the wire feed and ran the wire through a grommet in the flat fender.
