Warthog dood :icon_super:

Well i had two options! Option 1- Spend 2/3rds of my budget on upgrading the 90, to get it on 37's and a V8 OR Option 2- Buy this project.
Having listened to the collective "Jibba Jabba" around several camp fires, it became evident that 2 things were key for my next Project;
1- No girly axles! So you Jeepers better be right with these Dana60's
2- An engine that didnt consume heating oil and sound like a tin being shaken with ballbearings in. I hope i get, at least 35 to the gallon outta this V8!
It needs a few tweeks, things i want to change. But gotta say a fine job has been done on this truck, so far. Getting a truck to this point, is at least 2 years steady work.
I'll set up a Workshop thread when the "Big Red" is sat on the drive.
Yes and i do blame Jez for sniffing this out. Oh and JJ and KingCJ....In fact all ya'll :098:
KOV 13 methinks? "Team Birty Dastards" :003:
-
Well done...enjoy...
-
As a new birty was a little surprised to find a green badge at breakout
especially in the hands of such a skilled trials setter out - who didn't flinch even with a TJ balanced over his head, at gate 5, with a completely inept drive at the wheel
lovely truck and I'm sue the lights can be changed

Nice truck Mark, congrats.
Looks the bizzzzz :icon_super:
-
Welldone looks the part not ashamed off following u around now :icon_biggrin:
-
Well Candy my old mucker you've got a cracking Jeep there, but very shiny I must say. No doubt after getting it dirty you'll be washing it with nappies and tucking it in at night :)
Proper nice truck mate

Nothing wrong with that :098:
-
Tis rather shiny :icon_eek:
DO you think it'll look better in a nice Green Oval shade of green :003:
Or maybe matt black? Eh BD! :icon_winkle:
-
A rather nice green I found and bookmarked about 2 years ago..... have yet to push the button on tho.....
Tis still shiny tho...... but in a manly M715 Nukizer sort of way :icon_twisted:

A respray will be done, when the red has been nicely keyed with trail rash :003:
-
Thats nice, i like that :icon_super: not at all jealous :icon_twisted:
So this one got a proper engine then? None of that chip fat stuff.
-
Has only 4 cylinders ...............
but beside it another 4 cylinders in a manly V formation :hysterical:
headers down to a cherry bomb and 1 pipe to rear....tis quiet enough for the road but at anger throttle level you'll hear it across a field....... tis very nice...... :icon_super:
-
All I'm gonna say is..............its about time!!!! :icon_winkle:
Nice truck hog but as I'm an old sentimental bugger it will be sad to see the good old 90 go :010: Id have to keep both :003:
-
will be sad to see the sheep lugger go, who's going to recover us now :icon_rolleyes:
-
I have a feeling it was the driver not the rig that kept getting us out of the shit :003:
-
we need a full spec sheet! cant wait to see it in the mud, you and wildwood in a yj off! :icon_biggrin:
-

Mr Wildwood has had his Jeepster anorak on and we have a discrepancy in the Tranny case model stated and the actual model on the truck :017:
Glad he is in my corner on this.....
The motor is a Chrysler 318 with 360 HP cam with the 318 heads skimmed etc to suit.
Gearbox torqueflite727 with new HD internal
Tranny was meant to be a Dana300, but it more likely a NP203 or NP205. I've got the guy to send me an image to confirm. I hope its a NP205....
Axles; New (they look it, but)Dana 60's front and rear.
-
will be np205 out of a w200
-

Yup its donar vehicle was the Military version of the Dodge W200 pick-up, M880 i believe?
Early Auto models had 203's from what i've read? Would like to see it be a 205....
-
i had 4or5 and all with 205 you would bu ulucky for a 203 but they are still strong
-
strong but not very low geared, seriously strong drive train you have there sonny, well done!
-

Yeah will know for sure tomorrow as to what it is?
At this point in time cant see anything past 37's getting put on it.
Will need your advice on Megajolt etc at some point :icon_winkle:
-
:ace: cool
stay red!
:icon_biggrin:
-
my advice on megajolt is do it

Nice looking truck Mark :icon_super:

bugger, there was me planning an all jeep team for the interclub challenge....
-
So whats the issue with the np205? Is it just the restriction on gearing? Is this jeep still open diff?
-
did JJ's sell?
-
mark and I looked over this quite carefully and then came away and did the research......
Body and chassis and suspension and cage ....100%
axles turned out to be Dana61 at the front which was done on the cummins rigs to get 3.07 gearing bastard expensive difficult to modify for deep ratios and lockers
Engine was a 318 which is as popular as a Chev 305
Guy had put a 360 cam in so unless other work done you got yourself a dog that'll go bang...... And it wasn't running right...
205 is bulletproof and can handle big block monter horses as a mud truck...... If you get yourself a trouble prone chain drive diff hampered 203 and just use the strong range box you then have 2:1 in each box or combo 4:1. Just need 799bucks to AA for the adapter.
So it was a no..... But worth a bit less and I think it might sell.......
And JJ sold his :icon_twisted:
-
So it's a BRASS!!!
-
Good Job you knew what you were looking at then or could have been an expensive mistake
-
Indeed could have been sucked dry and fooooooked sideways!!!
-
The low range ratio of the 205 compared to a dana300, was killing the crawl ratio. This was evident when driving it.
Who builds a truck and doesnt know the r&p ratios of axles? Really needed to have the covers off the diff and tooth count.
Some things didnt add up until further investigation on tinternet.
As to the front axle, i couldnt get a 100% confirmation of it being a D60, but somethings didnt add up.
An excellant base truck, but with some grey areas in the driveline, that will need to be addressed. All fixable at a cost, but.....
-
We in the UK don't crawl (strike one) the Buggy is so low geared it makes the engine scream, but due to import duty it had to have its tongue out at 30MPH.

:icon_biggrin:
"low range" was impaired in comparison to 1st low in the lardie. Its nice to be able to go slow and controlled and have available torque to climb etc.

Amen brother :icon_super:

In all fairness, i think 3K for what he has got, irrespective of the axle ratios/61?? aint that bad. If you want a Project, that is?
Its a really well built truck. With issues that can be sorted for that money. Time and Money needed though..
Not sure why someone would want the np205 tc and engine though?

Funny old world ain't it???
