PEAK PUTTERS

Looks are deceiving. The motor won't be sitting in there long. New motor and trans mounts on the way. Need to figure out the trans mount, then pull everything back out to finish the frame work.

Ya, it's a 4 cyl.

Well the Jeep bug bit my folks :shock: My parents just worked the deal today on this little '93 YJ. It's in fantastic shape and completely untouched. I think it's officially Mom's :) http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/momjeep01.jpg http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/momjeep02.jpg

Progress .... http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/rebuild07.jpg Welded, ground and ready for fish plates: http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/rebuild08.jpg Some carnage ... I'm calling it a "near miss": http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/rebuild06.jpg Mostly assembled and all pretty now: http://dhealy.20fr.com/J...

I'm selling a AMC/ Jeep 258/ 4.2 head. Was rebuilt recently. It's been run, but does not have many hours. Fresh valves, seats, springs, seals and decked .040. $150

Where in town should I take my flywheel to get surfaced and a new ring gear installed?

His insurance is treating him really well. Granted, he's working his butt off to coordinate movers, storage, the tree removal service and finding a place to live. His insurance company is covering everything. There is a couple structural engineers coming to evaluate the house next week to determine ...

My buddy in Portland had a tree fall on his house on Wednesday night! I'm headed there today to help clean up.

285/75/16 Goodyear MT/R's on my Superduty have served me VERY well. Great all around tire. Think I got better than 40k miles on the first set. All I've had experience with are the old style though.

It's actually not a system issue, it's an electrician issue ... When I rewired, I accidently used the wiper power wire to run something else, lol. But, it's not like CJ wipers/ arms are worth a damn anyway. I'll fix the wiring when I put it back together.

Haha! The HID's are in the Superduty. Still using stop and squeegy method on the CJ

I picked up a set last week second hand through a buddy of Trash's. Not sure what brand but its full kit with hi/low bulbs, ballasts and relays the switch. Appears to be decent quality. Needless to say, I'm VERY happy 8) http://www.peakputters.com/forum/userpix/8_HID01_1.jpg http://www.peakputters.c...

The statement "Well, if it's torn down this far already, I might as well as ..... " came out of my mouth this morning .... http://dhealy.20fr.com/Jeep/rebuild01.jpg http://dhealy.20fr.com/jeep/rebuild02.jpg http://dhealy.20fr.com/jeep/rebuild03.jpg http://dhealy.20fr.com/jeep/rebuild04.jpg

Haha, lucky me. Turns out the input shaft was swapped for a Ford one! It's for sure a Jeep case and adapter to the Dana 20. Fortunately I can order a bushing to remedy this ...

I think I found the problem ?!?

Yep, found a true wide ratio CJ t18. Picked it up tonight. I pulled the whole mess out for a few reasons; general clean up and paint, swapping the water pump, valve cover and possibly head from my old motor, fixing my header leak once and for all, re-working the exhaust, possibly fixing my rear shac...

Uh oh ....

Awesome

I'm hoping to come back from Portland this weekend with a trans. There are some decent deals on AX-15's and AW4's. Can someone give me an idea of what the controls are like for the AW4? I see two options, running the stock TCU or running an aftermarket rotary switch to manual shift it. How tough is ...

Great quality video! What camera were you using?

Keeping my eyes open for an AX-15 and cheap Dana 300 ...

Realistically the 258 is going to stay for another couple of seasons unless a money tree pops up in my back yard.

So with that in mind I need something (stick or auto) that will survive (including clutch) with my current drivetrain configuration, and be inexpensive ($500?).

Well the FSJ t18 source is out the window :( So much for cheap. So, I can wrap up $600 in the 2wd Ford t18, or get creative .... Another option I've been pondering is finding an NP435 with a NP203 hanging on that back. That would give me the option of doing a 203/20 doubler, which sound fairly simpl...

Jim, that sounds right. Everything I've read says the inputs on any of the wide ratio (6.32 1st) T18's interchange. I've got a T150 in the CJ right now ;) To be technically correct, the Ford input shaft is 1/2" too short for the CJ's, requiring a special bushing that is relatively cheap. It sou...

I'm looking seriously at transmission options for the CJ. I've had lots of ideas, including V8 swaps, building a 4.7 stroker ... ect. But, right now I'm looking at a fairly quick, easy and inexpensive swap to get me on the trails. I've got a wide ratio Ford 2wd t-18 that is the likely candidate for ...
