The Resurection Project

It looks good Joe. I the duct tape idea also there is always welding up your own windshield frame and running plexy or lexan glass.

you would be surprised how much stuff is held together in the military by duct tape. But after looking at it I decided i'm just going to man up and bend a piece of tube to fit lower down on the windshield.

all right got some more done even with the rain and cookout. I pulled out the vic and fbaricated a plate that bolts back into its place giving a place to mount all the electric switches for various things.



also got a chance to tie in the d pillar to the unibody.


give you an idea how thin the old floor was compared to the one I welded in.





its always a good day when the ups man stops by

looks like i'll have a 19"x19" area to mount a waterproof box in between the fuel cell, winch, and OBA tank

with as much captain as i drink you think they would sponsor my jeep with a little more.

thanks matt for the link. I went ahead and order the ring today so it should be here by next monday One thing that was metioned to me was that on my 95 5.2 motor the fuel pump regulation is controled in the pump were as in a 93 to ealy 95 the fuel was regulated in the rail thus having a return line. So in order to make the external pump work I would of had to swap in a earlyier version 5.2 fuel rail. With big dogs around the corner i don't think i'm going to have time to do all that.

Isnt this thing resurected yet

yeah seems like forever

hey, they didn't build Rome in a day neither. I want to make sure it works right because who else would Bill get to tow his rig back to camp when his rig is

and

it will take all us SWB guys with snatch blocks to get him free. Why do I like that word "Snatch" block...I don't know.

With all the work he is doing to it the should be unstopable and nvr need pulled out

Pound for pound I hate to tell you, your not much lighter then I am. you figure that full frame adds a couple of pounds compared to my unibody. Most of the pounds picked by the stuff added was shedded when I stripped the thing. As for going to head to head, wait till I venture out next spring with the atlas, 60's and hydraulic steering go on then we'll see what I can do. I gaurantee I wont have to many issues with having to count on you all being around to pull me out

I want to see it on the scales. Oh and Joe I will play follow the lead with you once I get the Toyota running and it will be on stock axles and weigh half.

no fear! I'll run the video camera

A stock TJ is 3235lbs, a stock zj is 3614lbs and a older toyota pick up is 2740lbs, and that is the wieght of the toyota before the bed and frame rot away so it should be much lighter now. the problem with jeeps is the heavy as engine

We'll figure this, we'll keep the stock weights because we all have pretty much the same thing with tires, winches, skids ect. Now my doors clock in around 60# a piece give or take because the fronts are heavier then the backs. with them off that gives me 240# less. Minus the rear hatch and roof which is in the 100# range. Then you minus the rear seats, sheat metal ect. which off sets the weight of the new floor and other metal dodads. granted that I have a little more tube in my cage then yj cages, I'll throw on about 50#. So if you think about it when its all said and done i'm only a couple hundred pounds heavier then you guys When I have the doors off.

As for the yota thing I would really hope you would weigh less then half. Then also seeing that yota axels are the equilvant of d44s there is no reason they shouldn't hold up the the power of your mighty 4cyl

Hell y wait you wana run head to head do it now I dont need 60s and a atlas to run ne trail I want nor do i need a 19 pg build its dun....

If I knew it was going to be this kind of party I would of stuck my dick in the mash potatoes
