My basement is now a boneyard.

Neg on a new blue top, ill look and see if there is any thing old put away. You may have to have one custom made.

 

[VOLT]

Thx, the blue top is key.

I may go with a tan top if I have to. It may not look to bad with the Blue sticker. All I have done the past couple of days is soak parts in WD Rust soak, scrape grease and grime off of case, skid and tranny and sand frame. A buddy just let me borrow his pressure warsher now that I almost got it all.

All the cleaning you do and you don't own a pressure washer? I am disappointed

The levis tops are tits. Fella in Abvul has a CJ7 levi's edition i always thought was cool, been sitting for years.

Can anyone tell me where to set the caster on this front axle? I have to return it to spring under and previous owner has the pinions shot up at the moon. On my TJ I leaned the imaginary line through the kingpins at 7 degrees back. Is that an accurate figure for a ball joint leaf sprung rig?

5*-7* should be good. It should drive a lot better too!

 

[VOLT]

Yea I saw those. Im not quit sure that I want to go that route though. As of now, I 'm still planning on the white 10" rims with 2.5 backspacing.

Thanks, I would not drive this thing to get the mail the way it is now. The rear pinion is shooting almost straight up.

Not much of an update. Just opening up box after box of new parts. Got a new fuel tank/skid, lines, guages, wiring, intake mani, headers(inside chasis), carb, lights, signals, markers, filters, pumps blah blah blah. I'm not ordering the motor until I get the axle situation figured out. Still hunting a blue top. Found some blue CJ7 Levi tops but no 5 yet.

 

[matth_85]

Meant to tell ya bout this. Don't know how your wiring is but brad has a new painless kit he said he would take 200 for. Also idk what axles were in his cj but he may have ya some wide traks I'll ask. Shame I sold my old ones for 100 lol. Buddy at foothills bought them for parts. He may have some also.

 

[VOLT]

Find out about his axles Matt. I may be interested even if they are not wide track as long as they are spring under.

[VOLT]

I can do home delivery with these too if you would want to save the trip up this way.

FOR SALE. I cant build 2 Jeeps with a 9 month old and Mean Green clearly needs attention. $1000.00 I have $500 in new parts still in the boxes. All it needs is a motor and seats and you are driving. Or, motor, seats and body work and you are looking good as you drive.

 

[VOLT]

and convert back to spring under to stay alive.

I just found this thread and it reminded me so much of those old CJs ya'll had, those were nice. So I started reading and got all the way to the bottom of page 4 and BLAM!!!! Next thought, "This sucks".

Peace out.
