CJ work party Jan 9-10 Project "Juggy"

Looking to get some help with the CJ. This will be to jump start the work and get a lot done. I'll be working on it all weekend and anyone that wants to stop by for a few hours or a couple days is welcome. Not setting a time, just let me know when you are coming and I'll be elbow deep in something.

1. Assemble transfer case doubler
2. Remove old tranny, transfer case and driveshafts.
3. Install new transmission. (weights about 140#)
4. Install new transfer case. (weighs about 250#)
5. Build new tranny/tcase mounting system and belly pan.

If time.

Start back half of Juggy:
1. Remove axle
2. Remove fuel tank.
3. Remove coolant pipes/ drain colling system.
4. Cut off back half of frame.
5. Determine axle position and bend some tube!

I'm in for that. I will bring the toyota out that weekend if I haven't done that by then.

Count me in as well

ok, CJ will be transformed into a buggy. Loose the frame and body and start over again from the ground up

LOL YES i knew it was coming!!!!

I might have to move in for this one. this should be tons of fun.

you know i am in.

I've got a set of John Deere gloves and a 1/4 drive ratchet I am holding hostage.

does this mean you'll have to rename the project?

i'll try to make it down to give you a hand.

The gloves are mine but not the ratchet, i don't think

well I was talking to nick about a buggy name and since Elva is happy with her surgery and won't be getting any enhancements then it leaves money for the project. so we were thinking project "Bodacious Buggy"....

I'm in. Sounds like fun.

So I'm guessing this a party to pull the CJ apart?

do you need a cherry picker?

I was talking to Bill about this yesterday. He was thinking of renting one. I'm sure if anyone has one he would like to borrow it for a little while. He will need it for a little while to help with the build as well.

i absolutely do need a cherry picker. might just buy one if noone has one here. Once the motor is out and mounted to the mobile table then it shouldn't need lifted again (hopefully).

Kinda like what is done here.

I can steal one from work for the weekend.

sweet deal, I'll take you up on that offer.

Is a cherry picker and an engine crane the same thing?

yes

harbor freight have them for around $100 or so IIRC

Joe you know me. I can't just buy a $100 shop crane. I'd have to look at about 100 of them before I buy one that is durable and a little more than what I would need just in case. I do have a hard time buying from Harbor Freight due to the substandard quality of materials.
