Three more. Next weekend we will do the same thing to the HJ. We have decided on running the vehicle on 12V for many reasons; these include but are not limited to:
1. Able to run true dual batteries and not have to have a total of four batteries.
2. The HJ has no A/C controls (this is the major reason) so we would have to track down everything.
3. Most vehicles over there are on 12V systems

since this is going to be by the ocean for a few years and probably not washed a whole lot are you all going to protect the frame with some kind of coating?
As for tires I wouldn't get anything less than a load E to get as many plys as you can.

Wow, look at all the expensive **** in your sig line. Perhaps you should make the damned thing run, reliably, before dragging it thru an offroad catalog with a magnet attached!

This last weekend we pulled the drive train form the HJ and learned just HOW BAD the rust is.
We had someone give us a 6 month old WARN 9500 that has only been used once so thats really cool.

Those are the cheap-o overload shocks. Its a quick fix for:
A) A rig with sagging rear springs
B) Someone who consistently overloads the rear of their rig.
I don't recommend them and think they are very red-neck.
I believe helper air-bags are they way to go for said problems

I just found this thread (I'm usually in the 40's forum). WOW!!! You guys are doing a great work!! I wish I had the funds to donate to such a worthy project. I'm recovering from a massive staph infection that started just before Christmas '08 so money is a rare and strange commodity for us. The church I attend is financially helping my family survive. BUT, prayer does not cost anything and thankfully I am a living, breathing, and walking example that GOD works wonders through prayer. I will be keeping this project in my prayers and if by some miracle I come into some extra funds I will be sending some your way.
May GOD bless you and this project!!!
Don

I was alone today as none of my helpers were able to come. I only worked about 4 hours and actually got a lot done in four hours. I broke down the front axle of the FJ, dropped everything steel in the hot tank, let it cook, and then gave everything a coat of self etching primier to protect it from the E. TX humidity.
Here are some pics from the days work:

Notice the difference in the before and after the hot tank; it works miracles in minutes!
Question regarding dust covers: My thought is that they will be totally useless as they will just pack out with mud. I am thinking of modifying them to hold the brake line and thats it. Anyone have experience with this?

Again: Before and after on the knuckles... I was very impressed. Looked like a new casting...
I am probably gana make a big order to Marlin this week for all the front axle re-build parts. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to donate anything, but I still want to support the company so I will continue to purchase from them...
These are tough times for all companies =(

Donations update
One more thing:
Just wanted to let everyone know that we have had steady progress with donations. We have probably had an additional $1500 since I started the build thread.
One guy here in town says he'll buy us a set of tires which is a big help
And we had a 6 month old WARN 9500# winch donated that has only been used twice. Any kind of donations of this type are awesome! Thanks guys!
We are really looking for 8 (2 sets) of 16" split rims right now. A few guys on the board have them, but want an arm and a leg for them; if you have some and want to donate to a good cause, PM me
Here are some pics of the winch thats coming from Yankee Land...

So true. Zuluzeugma, approximately how large of a scale is your hot tank? Are the dimensions small enough to warrant it's place in a small garage?

Heres a pic; It could easily take an F series Engine block. It was donated to our shop about 3 years ago and I got it hooked up and running about a month ago. I just plumbed it into the shop's natural gas supply and then ran an air line to it to keep it bubbling. I usually run it about 180* F.

I think were saying the same thing... They are much easier to swap in the bush as almost everyone runs tubes so if then get a flat they can bust the wheel apart, fix the tube and be back on their way...

ah... ok... don't think I have that type... I'll check in 4 weeks when I get out there where they are located. If I have them they are yours... but not likely.
