Wish my kiddo (5 years old) would paint mine instead of drawing allover it with a sharpie!

I haven't seen that door offering before! Thanks for posting that up! Don't you love that there are 150 extra holes in these rigs, but none of them seem to line up?

I have done it with the wheels in the air, and once with turn plates. Both did the job, YMMV (My turn plates are just 2 pieces of VCT tile with grease between them, they work surprisingly well!)

That made for an expensive addition to the toolbox!

Man that is some serious fabrication! I love builds like this! I have considered fabbing up some lower control arms that mimic Marlin Crawlers' RCLT lower arms. Its been awhile since I have built control arms though.....

I am considering centering the front diff so I can carry 1 spare axle shaft instead of 3. With my era of Jeeps a common part failure was the Crank Position Sensor (CPS). Its tiny and has saved the day more than once! What are some common parts to fail while out on the trail that would be...

In for the updates! I have driven 90s Jeeps for the last two decades. I have whittled that toolkit down so it fits in a tiny 7.62 ammo can. I am quickly finding that it is inadequate for a HMMWV! Typically, when repairing something, I note the tools I used and make sure I have them in the...

Woundnt supprise me if there was some sort of sealant on the threads that is holding it up (mine was held in with red-loctite) I had to use heat to get mine our

Good point. I have tested all the circuts and they are working as planned. (once I take care of the missing injector return line, and add diesel it should be a runner again) I am not at all concerned about using plastic housing. A metal housing being conductive every where seems like a bigger...

Been replicating kboy's/ TOBASH's diagrams. Thanks a million for posting all this info up! Background: My smart start box was sitting on the floorboard and the harness was chopped instead of being disconnected when I picked it up from Yermo:mad: I brought all all the chopped wires ends into a...

In!

Last link is 100% Trailer was made by BC Customs in Clearfield, Utah. Use to drive by their shop every few days. Build a lot of cool buggies for special operators. Started building jeeps/ rock crawlers

I have had success with cutting horse stall mat with a worm drive circular saw with a "wet wood blade". We also put some dish soap on the cut line to lube the blade. Found if you don't the blade sticks in the cut, gets hot and warps. Works well for cutting used conveyor belting too!

Alumimum cuts easier and cheaper than you think it would! I have been modding my 1152 top into a 1151. Its like 1/4 ish thick? Strait lines cut easily with a standard skill saw and an Irwin Metal cutting blade. The blade is about 50 bucks and I have made 8-10 feet of cut and it isnt dull yet...

Those shocks would be 100% tunable and rebuildable........if only the body disassembled!
