No broken bolts so far.

Is this going under the Jeep you just drug home?

What a Jeep???

A rusty one I’m not going to keep. Traded a Honda ATC for it.

You did well.


Pretty good deal, is there a motor in it?

Has some potential for yard art.


Maybe you could build it.

I’m probably not going to keep it around. I will either sell it or trade it away. My 40 can accomplish everything that J**p would, and my 40 runs. The J**p only needs floor pans body wise though… not a tub.

Gavin I just read your Instagram story on the Jeep, Dana 44 rear and a twin stick? It’s pretty cool.

Like I mean I don’t like Jeeps either, but as a lover of all things mechanical, I can’t help but think of how awesome that little jeep once was.

I’m sure somebody will make something cool of it.

Coming soon…

New shoes. 235/85r16 KO2s on 70 series wheels.
Observations, they are insanely quiet compared to my old KM3s, acceleration is a bit better and steering is easier, they also ride way better. I have only put about 40 miles on them thus far.

They look awesome!

Checked the alignment today, tightened wheel bearings, and greased all the steering linkages, U-joints, driveshafts, shackles and spring pins.

 

[Gimme a 60]

yep, tightening the wheel bearings is a good one.

 

[Godwin]

Checking alignment with TMR tool and a pair of metric tape measures. Difference between front and rear measurement is 5 mm, i.e. rear is 5 mm wider than front for a little toe in.

I’m currently putting on new Tie rod ends… figured I would take my vehicle to an alignment shop. Maybe I’ll give this a shot.
