CJ7: Troy's Build

[Shafus]

its just cold a wet here, so a few beers in the shed and now the jeep has the trim done in the rear, new tail lights and guards. It got a polish too just to make the old paint a bit better.

the build still continues, i have moved the engine in the right spot using the old bash plate from the quaddy transfer the attach the dana 300 adapter to the turbo700. I have also started to move alternator on the chev to add power steering pump (this was more work then i thought) this ment i had to go from short to long water pump and change all the pulleys to suit but it almost done. While i have been doing this a few goodies i have been waiting for came, the lower body lift, new sway bar bushes, new ubolt kit for rear and my new rims 15 x 10 american alloys.

cleaned and painted the rear diff over the weekend and then installed in jeep, i have left some old hack about thins on while i change the tyres, i think it gives it the army jeep feel.

just an up date, i am still working on the jeep, it has all the font hangers and spring mounts taken off, with a mate plasma cutting the plates to replace them now. Its all bit by bit, but i did have to move it from the shed over the weekend, so we could have a bucks night there, the look of it with no roof.... sexy

over the xmas i have been able to find the time to test fit the new front end, so now i have the 44 under the front and all the spring hangers on with the shackel reversal. Also i got my tyres put on the new rims so i could see how it all sat, it sits an inch higher in the front but it will level up when it all seats in.
