i rekoned on yanking the whole lot out in one without splitting of the tranny so after two hours it was dangling on the end of the hoist it took another half an hour just to wriggle it from out of the engine bay i had to get it out otherwise i would not have shut the workshop door .
tonight i had an hour and towed the gt back out of the work shop and back in to its spot at the side of the shed gittin better at this two trucks one man thing so then i reversed the daihatsu in to the workshop and got the engine and box back on the hoist i then had to put a chain on the rear of the gearbox as it wanted to sit side on to the rear door of the daihatsu then pulled the chain to pull the box round while reversing an inch at a time to get the whole lump into the back of the truck woohoo then i just chocked it to stop it fallin over the drove out to turn around so now it is facing the engine hoist for the next leg of turbo g t this weekend possibly

Tomorrow I'll be sorting out the mount points on the CJ chassis - two outriggers to move and rearmost mounting holes to make. Then I'm going to give the tub a good coat of epoxy primer.

Now then hereby hangs (another) tale of my own stupidity.
One plastic enclosure created in the hangar to spray up with clear coat. I had read that I ought to ground the tub before spraying it to ensure it does not become statically charged and attract dust.
So I did.
I failed to take into account however that I had just constructed a plastic enclosure which was, by now, statically (+ve) charged. So when I earthed the tub inside it I actually created a dust magnet......... the thing was COVERED in dust :oops:
Anyway 'tis all sorted now. Looks superb.

Looking good though
Some folks run one axle's tyres facing forward and the other axle backwards, supposely giving traction in both directions.

So let me get this straight, with directional tyres you can have the front ones facing back and the back ones facing front.?? But will this have any averse affects on road handling as apposed to having all the tyres facing the same way ? Guess I'm being a dumb ass, but I thought you had to have all the tyres the same or is that just not to mix different tread patterns on the same axle or something. Seem to vaguely remember an advert on telly years ago about different tyres on cars but cant remember what it was going on about. Also I saw a plod Lexus this morning that had chevron patterned tyres on it, on the back end it had the near side tyre facing forward and the off side facing the rear ... What's that all about ??
Prob a punture and a cop that doesn't know better! With directional tyres, it's a PITA as if you get a puncture on the wrong side, you need to change two tyres.
Low speeds with reversed tyres is not a problem. If you take Pirelli P-Zeros and out them on back to front, you will REALLY know it in the wet as they drag all the water to the middle and try to lift the tyre off the road (if it's wet enough) and aquaplaning becomes a serious issue.
Tractor tyres are so deep and have so little grip on the road that I doubt it makes much difference. As for directional Mud tyres. I'd have them all facing forwards if I was using it on road. (ie. looking at the top of the tyre the arrow faces forwards. If you could look up at the tyre from the road, then the arrow faces backwards.) I can see the idea of having the fronts the wrong way round if you are on tracks / mud all the time, but that's about it. Trouble with reversing it, is that you are more likely to get stuck as you only have one axle giving you maximum traction.
Very interesting this...

the tyre advert you remember (many years ago i might add) was for radial and cross ply, that is not to have fitted to the same axle.........the directional tyres should all point forward as per the arrows and legally this is the case....but to get the edge off road you change the front tread to face rear, and as for the police lexus he must have had the spare tyre fitted, but as anyone who has directional tyres will tell you that you need two spares one for each side.

I miss all those old public information adverts, they used to be so naff and cheesy. I can now remember the one about the tyres, one about towing a caravan, one about banking up your coal fire in foggy whether or something, one about phoning the coastguard and don't forget the green cross man......... They was the days, any more I forgot about ?
Who can forget the incredibly helpful and somewhat panic inducing "Protect and survive" films from the early 80's? I was convinced that I wouldn’t reach my 20th birthday.

Wipers working - used the YJ's intermittent wiper box.
Just got the rear end to wire up. Top 'n' bottom hoses due from Lighthouse tomorrow so should be firing her up shortly after they arrive.

My options at the moment, are bike sized one mounted on the grill, or a stick on one above the grill where the Jeep badge is and keep the one I have now for MOT time.
Just can't decide which at the moment.

I think I may have to concede on the colour. Defo a bit orangey.
I'm not totally happy with the paint job though to be honest. The primer doesn't appear to have adhered too well to the substrate. Might have to send her for a bare metal respray at some point but I'll see how I get on on the trails!
Gonna take some more on the beach later (the same one Bubba wants a barbie on in Jan) so I'll post them in the readers rides section.

we got the auto out and on the floor so after a few beers we decided to drill the case fourteen holes later we decided that the hammer drill and blindfold aproach was not working very well so we measured it very carfully with our atomicly acurate
piece of string and got it rite first time in to the vent area the other holes wernt a problem after we pumped three cans of no more gaps in to them
now we just gotta fit it back up :rolleyes:

seems a long time since there was an update on my tinkerings so here is an overview of stuff that i am hoping to get done soon
2 replace my sankey trailer for a wide trac version
Below was posted on LR4x4, may be of interest? I dont know the guy, but it maybe worth a looky?
Quote
I'm selling my sankey. (well its a paratow)
3/4 ton, wide track, so it has a tailgate.
Its in good nick, and has 2 new 6.50 continental tyres. 12 volt bulbs.
Comes with a civvy trailer plug adaptor, that retains the original plug so either can be used.
brakes work very well.
I'm in staffordshire

as the lift is 3 0r 4 inch but is some funky bitsa kit
got to find a few more bits n bobs for the released scrambler and the jeepster leaves this week sometime
much as i dont realy trust heapo with its lektrickery as long as it behaves hoping to get anther two years out of it
evan the it will need a weldathon for its mot

Have had a good look at this and it's doable for sure - would be very strong as the chassis is just behind the bumper some cutting would be required.

Wile I think about this preparation for the event is:-
Winch control from Ruftracks and winch cable from? shut off switch? steel box from? Paint from?
This way I can attened the Birty Breakout.

looks more like a cosmetic finish for the door lower rather than a structural piece. It may be a design feature to create a false sill.
Can't you put box section in the hole between the chassis rail and the sill and then have a sacrificial bash strip which extends out past the doors and bolts to the box section.

you might want to elaborate on what you mean by "going through the sill"

I can leave it.
The sliders must be jackable with the high lift - perhaps put those round locators in.
Apologies for taking so long Mr H.
This is what we have, round bar locators to stop the hi lift moving / slipping as opposed to tubes which could get crud in them, just a thought

i would say that was unfair my first i bought that way and nosebolt picked a very similar shade without ever seeing my first scrambler so sheep noyellow is uber cool, so I don't blame you there, in fact thats why I asked what colour you painted it, it was a toss up in my mind whether it would be yellow or orange, as to being unfair, I guess you can become head of the flock then seems you had it first/ :lol_hitting:

Other than that yellow is hard to do well imo;
too light & matt ands it looks washed out & faded, get it too dark & it looks like plant.
Continuing the Mopar theme; what about 'plum crazy'?

They are well hard and would not deform (I thought that was the idea?) if they hit anything/one.......
On that note I remember the Chrysler FTE modified TJs that came to Jeepfest when it ran..... they had pieces of stainless running from top of bumper to under indictor on fender...... to replace what had been removed when they did the lift/body lift
Guess it stops chavs from stagediving thro the gap and clogging up your muds......

well then tonight i only had a few secs as i was waiting for the kids to get there shoes on to get in the jeep so i peered at the dangling hi low lever and realised the reason was there was no hi lo unit on the gearbox very very odd i have only once ever heard of a quadratrac box with no low range but never came across one till today so that box came from fuck knows where when i get a chance i will look properly but i am wondering if it has been fitted with a chevy 400 on to a quadratrac with no low range how very strange rather like its owner

orange scrambler
has a leaky torque converter seal and replacement means engine out and i dont think i can bring myself to put the 6 banger back in so i will sort a one of my v8s to go in it put it on 33s and and use it for any towing duties untill funds allow another set of 35s
red scrambler
needs axle rebuild so i am thinking a regear to make it a towing monster and as it is a pickup and staying that way i am considering using
lucifers pagan gas as a fuel as i can fit a large tank behind the cab without sacrificing much load area and up grading to hydroboost as it will stay on 35s
as i say this will come to pass if the floater survives
project orange wont cost me anything as i already have the parts and the orange will stay on the road just unused as backup/work truck as trust is not deep in the floater as good as it seems to be
on a funny side the battery on the floater was flat the other day and i started it with jump leads and shut the door on the now running floater and found the centrol locking had cycled and i had shut the door on the now running with all keys in the ingnition......oops
after a about twenty mins of thinking and messing i tried and managed to pick the tailgate lock and get in.....phew
Post by: Bulldog67 on October 31, 2010, 11:23:58 AM

well where it goes behind the spring /shocker tower this skirt lies on top of the two brake pipes that run there along the chassis rail [directly under the air box so hard to see] it traps all the dirt on top of these pipes but as i say very hard to see but it seems to stay damp under this skirt to the point of corroding them dangerously they can not be seen here on mot or any normal inspection
please take the airbox out and remove the skirt and inspect this 8 inches of pipe it may be shot gazes jeep has good pipes all round but his had corroded in this damp dirt trap to the point of failing
please note no amount of jet washing or looking will clean them out go look before you have problem guys

re the armour not helping steve i am not sure this going to sound crazy but i have almost never had to replace the armoured type fitted to cjs

but now i am a bit like a juggler that has just dropped his balls
just come in from the garage after giving up on the 3b handbrake cables [just to stretched] i need to get new ones to get an mot-able handbrake shame as i had a provisional mot today so as it now stands horn needs a rewire screen washers just stopped working and as the kids are now up and sat is family day i will have a go tomorrow at it and try to work out where to get new cables
my 3b has the later crap handbrake that works on the wheels rather than the more common transmission handbrake i wonder if i can fit the old type instead ?
sunday will also be a day to give my orange scrambler a fresh once over for its mot going to try and get that in next saterday morning i can honestly say i can only think of one minor thing that it will prob need once it has mot it will go on ebay
PRE EBAY BIRTY OFFER £5000 QUID WITH A TRUCK CAB THROWN IN ON 33S £4500 on 31s and no cab
folowing the hopefull sale of the orange one the red one will be for sale lifted 35s v8 lockers eddelbroke parts a plenty far to much to just reel off
BUT its been off the road for just over 3years and the rear diff bearings are fooked and it has a few bubbly paint areas nothing bad or any holes but they are there to offset this i will be throwing in ALL MY SPARES inc 2xaxles 2x gearboxes 2x new eddelbroke performer carbs pluss inlet to suit and rockers
new wings new ujs x10 at least rotors altinators starter motors ans the new bearings for axle plus new wheel bearings seals lots of new stuff and lots of good spares probably more that will fit the rear bed i would think to but all the new spares would get ya close or poss over 2k never minf selling off starters or radiators
PRE EBAY BIRTY OFFER £5000 WITH ALL SPARES OR £4500 LESS THE 5 35 INCH TYRES
there that sorts the e bay bit about advertised else where if a propper buyer wants to come forward and talk turkey i may be able to trim a deal to fit

Shoguns no good,if you get a 7 seater,theres no room for nothing in the back really,after looking at mine,the 110 makes perfect sense and ticks every box on Bubbas list,though at the momnet mine wont do the 30mpg due to the fuel leak...... :011:

had a shock just asked fux about surance very cheap septin a funny thing they wont do a twelve seater very odd
I guess with 12 seats it becomes a minibus,but i wouldnt fit 12 seats anyway.You can actually get individual seats for the rear instead of bench seats and you get 2 each side so will make it only 10 seats,like these

I use an earlier non turbo van quite often and it's a little gutless towing a car trailer, but the CDi is much better. I've been from Aylesbury to Bournemouth and back on 1/3 of a tank, and I wasn't sparing the horses :icon_super:

Post by: williecba on September 03, 2011, 12:52:42 AM
I used to borrow my mates for holidays and I liked the driving position so much that I bought myself one a couple of months ago.
I got a V6 3.3 litre 51 plate for a little over 2 grand, but they do diesel ones as well. Mine had a tow bar but I took it off so I don't know how it pulls.
It's a thirsty bugger and so stupidly big I can't park it and for just the daughter and me most of the time its too f...... large but it is airy and spacious and the AC is cold.
Plus it's made by those wonderful people in Graz and when you open the hood you recognise all these parts they got from the Jeep/Chrysler parts bin and it's designed to be repaired by that same guy in Iowa City, you know the one, the high school drop out so its probably fixable by your good self.

I have been immersin myself in Dutch's Dutch Jeep site, especially in the FSJ section, and subsequently can ya look at how much space I have under/along the fuel tank when there is no spare tyre underneath- please - coz if i understand the Dutch gibberish correctly I have room for either a bigger or twin fuel tank, which should double my range
coud ya please confirm next time ya on ya back in the workshop please Pa
no need now, 33 gallon ford bronco tank is the answer, doubles capacity and a perfect fit where the OEM spare went :icon_super:
nice & cheap as a new steel one as well

Anyways, if you come accross a old CJ7 fuse block with connectors & fuses in.....
radio & CB are now fed by clock.....so clock no worky.
Who said old iron came without electrickery :icon_rolleyes:
With an aftermarket immobilizer installed there's more wires in there than the QEII.
Bitch is that over the years previous owners probably have installed and dismanteled various audio & lights
that I've now got at least 15 cables going nowhere and they all seem to go or exit from a junction box related or tied into this immobilizer

create a seperate dedicated 12v supply for ease of connection for external applications. With a the space in the engine bay you could afford a bigger fuse bank to cater for more lights, 12v internal supply to the rear of the jeep etc

Awww BD, your xmas spirit is really touching :003:
If you could yes please, got most of my original connectors in the main block missing.
I can then rewire clock to clock and the audio/CB to the radio outlet. I guess that's also routed via the ignition
so battery does not drain.

Post by: Bubba on October 13, 2012, 10:00:15 AM
so i am now thinking of taking a couple of years of and just tinkering slowly at an affordable rate
other tinkering will carry on and at the moment i have yota landcruiser in with its engine apart but sadly its scrap due to a cracked bore so that is sitting awaiting an engine
there is a stranded tj that i will be hoping to get mobile on sunday but cant help feeling a bit unsure of the days outcome but we shall see
on a good news front the 2a will be mot exempt in november which is an incentive in itself as once on the road annual costs will be minimal i also here there is talk of the exemption extending poss up to 1980 but more like 1970

yota seems to have a plan forming hopefully a donor vehicle will be found so the original head gasket plan has developed in to a much bigger job than first planned
other plans are slowly forming though i feel pressure is off me though it does mean no offroadin for the turkey hunt only there as support this year

i changed the transfer box on larry
looked at jays wj to rule out the head gasket then left him to consider options but i see this is now in hand so thats good in fact it been a bit busy with way to much family and work stuff i hardly looked at the forum but in that time i got a call from a mate at 9pm to say his breakdown truck had broken down :hysterical:
so i towed him back and fixed out side his house 7.5 ton iveco
then in desperation i had to do a head gasket on a mitsubishi space thing folowed by some brake work on said iveco
andv today a some bits on a diesel wj
i bin so busy you would think with workin all the hours i do i would be minted :hysterical: i dunno if i have to many freinds or weather i am too good a friend at times :017:
crimbo is beatin on the door and as a doing my best father i have got to pull some rabbits out of the hat but first i need a hat in fact i am tossing over weather to sell my mindy only thing stopping me is the values are going up so fast i doubt i could replace it

bit of tinkering with another wj today cv boots i have a bad feeling about
Aaaaahhh, know all about that. brake bits off, hub off, shaft out, check CV, if ok repack with grease, new boots on with the dreaded ss clips and bolt the whole thing back together again.
Made easier if the whole front end is off the ground so you can move the steering around to get at the bolts at the back. (or are we takin drive shaft CV's)?
Good luck.

i dont think much will then happen untill new year when i have decided that probably i wont have an offroader next season but will be hoping to start a project building a surplus special in fact i think thats what i will call it so keep a look out for updates on that and keeping larry the zj alive [grave misgivings] on that but we will see

engine swap a go go
Post by: Bubba on April 27, 2013, 11:06:55 AM
Well been abit stop go in the workshop had a few things through did a clutch on some Toyota car thing simple enough but man cars are dull serviced a couple of nice tjs from retuning folk ta guys its a big help
Also had interesting proplem that highlits the dificulty in diagnosing problems on a forum ..... wj with reoccurring brake binding problem owner was helpfuly pointed in a few directions but was recomended to change brake flexys so I fitted them and after removal I blew through them from both ends and was hopeful but was not convinced
Anyhoo problem was not resolved and was wose due to a duff abs sensor (me disturbing it)
I had not been happy with fluid and comented on it so when it returned I investigated with that thought in mind upshot was full fluid change and replacement master cylinder and all was and is still hunkydunky

But every week it gets used........8x4 sheets and tool hauler this week...... Garden waste for a neighbour......and 10 muck buckets full of mud.....
More neighbourly duty......
8 fence panels.......
Amazing how they come out of the woodwork to ask a favour when ya got herself a hauler

i have yet to find out but have an idea the axles were supplied rebuilt by a jeep specialist and breaker but cant be sure til i have more infoI ain't naming names but I no longer deal with them!
Fook me that is quite scary, that axle did 60k miles of motorway ragging in that state :icon_eek:
Post by: Bubba on October 19, 2014, 10:02:42 AM
as is always the way with my company these days tasks took longer than hoped so missed them closing up but they rang me told me all was good and it was nice to see so many new parts on a kitted truck put the ticket and keys up for me to collect and to not worry about the cash pop buy in the week and pay
so after work i walked to the mot place and collected the jeep .......................i think thats bloody good especially in the cant give a fuck world we seem to have
this also brings to a close possibly the longest regear and other work in history all highly embarrassing but it is at least a spare play vehicle and they did say no rush on it but i did not mean to take him on his word :icon_redface:
was meant to go to work today but ................fek it i musta done 60hrs this week
Post by: jay140285 on October 19, 2014, 10:13:54 AM
I called to pay over the phone and they said just sort it when we collect the lorry.

there have been other trucks in but sadly no pics
one thing i found on zj norm was the third brake light in the tailgate was a full blown plastic dummy light i have never seen this before on a jeep maybe mike pavlin knows about this norm is a 96
Yes, all early UK models had the dummy unit fitted.

IMHO... the only thing that spoils the look is the sign on the door....and the tailgate!

Jeep is much quieter, well it was until the new CV joint imploded on a dual carriageway at [the speed limit, honest].
Replacement 'better brand' part on the way, but for anyone fitting one if the seal seems a poor fit don't bother and get it replaced - I recon a poor seal caused the grease to spin out which then caused the joint to fail.

its a 98 chevy blazer 4.3 v6 bought cheaply as a non runner owner was convinced it was head gasket but with 11 months mot and a set of new tyres it was worth a 400 quid gamble very low miles too
