1974FJ Rebuild of cruiser....

[BigFisher]

One of, if not the best, 40's in existence...

 

[Burt88]

I love your truck.

You decide if you were gonna put a sway bar up front?

Sway bar = sissy bar

Is there any chance I'll get to make a URE run with you before I go....... sissy?

But really, love that 40. If I wanted to build one it'd be modeled after yours.

 

[1974FJ]

I'm working on my sway bar in the rear to make it a quick disconnect.
Johnny, after my drive around the block I don't think it needs it up front. Jury is still out until I get the top on
I hope to make it to the dec Christmas party mike

I hope to make it to the dec Christmas party mike

You can do it!!!

 

[Burt88]

I won't be at the party. I'm on the road Dec 1. You'll just have to bring your rig out to CO in the summer time. Or Moab in the spring.

Nice!!! How about a better pic of that shifter console and one from the front on level ground!! Can't wait to go for a spin in it!

Ramon, I'll have it at the barn. We will take it or a few spins...
I'll have to take more photos.
Here are the bead locks I just finished up last week

 

[1974FJ]

The most aggravating thing about a hole saw is when the center alignment drill drill falls out!!! Ruined my dash between my boost and pyro gauge.

 

[1974FJ]

I also just got my 19.5" 30 spline inner axle shaft in this week to work with my 2.5" extended short side. Worked perfectly.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

I have had the same thing happen with a hole saw.


Still coming along nicely. Hope to see it up there next Saturday.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I like that gauge placement a lot. Is it easy to read while driving?

 

[mtweller]

Looking forward to seeing it in person this weekend!

[1974FJ]

It's kinda out of the way while driving, if your trying to watch the boost and not hit a tree while driving. But EGTs and tranny temp can be read easily at this location. I'm mounting my Tiny Tach on my roll cage dash bar right in front of me.
Ramon my presence this weekend is uncertain. This alternate jeep project has put us in a logistical bind ,for work.

 

[1974FJ]

Got the top back on!

 

[custyota]

Looking good

 

[mtweller]

I think back to the Nate Irving days when I see that... "beast mode"!!

Looks awesome!

 

[1974FJ]

Got some pump tuning in. I'm not completely satisfied just yet , I've got an inter cooler system in my sights at some point that will help. At this point my EGTs are maxed out with my current mix and setup.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

That tune looks damn close to perfect.
