this is mostly for the pirate4x4 crew, noone had a real answer on what it takes to tie the front end tubing to the main cage
guess its more of a baja / buggy thing.

Would this type of thing work? Not to Baja standard, works for mere Lardie Drivers

thought you two were going to the turkey hunt?

well had productive days and others that felt like nothing got done. but its getting to the point that all the small things are killin me.
front axle is almost finished, just needs welding and a few boxing plates
diesel dan was over at the weekend and worked some magic on my panhard bar axle mount

dont think its going to go anywhere, 6mill brace plate welded to the axle flange

still needs the inside boxing in but cant be fully since you need to get to the flange bolt inside - easy stuff

and the coilover mount just behind it

and the other side

told ya warthog, point and he will find a way!!!

I thought after Rehab, when you threw away all those old school eletrickery. The Beast purrs like a cat

All yours needs KCJ, is some BIGGER Tyres

nahhhh the CJs tyres are fine, what the cj needs is a true loving owner that will actually take care of her instead of only touch her the 2 days before a wheeling weekend

where u up to? its been ages

doublej · « **Reply #191 on:** May 15, 2010, 07:22:58 AM »

Guess whos back - back again.......
been back on home soil for about a week now. Got off the plane on thursday and saturday i was at the flying spanners lab trying to help get a rig ready for a trip to the Ukraine(yes with the wifes blessing). I am slowly getting back under the monkey and updates will come shortly.
SO momos, you missed my monkey?? whatcha wanna see first??

doublej · « **Reply #192 on:** May 23, 2010, 04:36:40 PM »

well its been along time coming, been back under the jeep about 2 weeks now and some things are slow going but others while they seem to come quick.... just not quick enough for me. but hey ho - it will come together.

reworked the front coilover mounts - started the crossbrace

you can see the grill mounts in there too - just need to gusset things and add a few more tubes in

seat frames - came out sick but was a pain to get all the pieces flat and level with each other

seat mounts - took forever.....

rear bulkhead just needs welding

fuel cell mount - waiting on parts so i can finish the straps

the top of the straps will be hinged

start of the flooring, and what might be the battery mounts

very rough start of the inner rear fenders

had to get holes in the hood for the coilover mounts

and this is why jj needs a torchmate plasma table - the white dots are for holes then the circles have to be hole sawed out......been doing to many of these lately. but the flat bar does make it easier

trying to get paint of things as i go so there isnt so much painting at the end

had to make a friend some horse shoes, well he called them shock hoops

doublej · « **Reply #193 on:** May 23, 2010, 05:19:22 PM »

front end is finally taking shape

closer look

fenders and hood just need alittle trimming

seat will hindge forward so i can store stuff underneath

closer shot of the seat bars

color of things to come?

?
