: Whoo-Hoo, I've got leggs...
Glenn 08-17-2002, 08:39 PM Well, not really leggs but I made some significant progress on my axles today. At least I got some rubber back under it. Still have to finish steering, bleed brakes and hook up ARB. 64 1/2" Dana 44 with Mosers and 760's...

We cut down the long side and used stock Wagoneer inner. Don't remember what year but it's 33 1/4" from center of u-joint cap to end of splines. Rest is stock Chevy. Axle is from a 70's Blazer...:D
TTURokToy 08-17-2002, 09:01 PM I thought you sold the willys and bought the 4runner to go back to a milder vehicle? That didnt last too long did it??
BTW, looks good.:beer: :beer:
Damn Glenn. I hadn't seen any pics of the 'runner since right after you got it. That's pretty bitchin. Who did the cage?

I think we all knew that wouldn't last.
:rolleyes:
TPIJeep 08-17-2002, 09:22 PM Ummm... nice work on the Yota, but I just wanted to point out that the engine on the stand is about to hit the dirt! :eek:

Not necessarily a milder vehicle. Just wanted something with a little more creature comfort. Can't go wrong with roll up windows, A/C and room to sleep in the back. :D:D
Huff, the cage was designed, bent and welded up by Dustin Emick ('Dustin' on the BB). It was only his second exo and he did one hella nice job. I did help some but I was probably in the way more than I helped. Hehehe!!!
Oh, and that engine ain't going anywhere. The stand is just a tad bent cause the guy I borrowed it from kinda ran over it with his truck once. It's ok, just a little 'limp'... :D
rusted 08-17-2002, 11:20 PM Those rotors on that 9 are something else, very beefy looking.
What a nice setup. Someday...

Hehehe!!! What can I say... :rolleyes: The Willys is a 53 CJ3A that originally belonged to the Navy. I even have the dash placque with all the numbers from the Navy. Don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet. Wanna buy??
The Jeepster (Commando) is a 72, 304, TH400, Dana 20, 44/30, all original. We're rebuilding the engine. That's it on the stand. Might sell that too. Might keep it for a fun driver. ?
Sold the Burb for 9K to a friends relative. :D
Flatbastard: Perch width is about 29".. 74-49 Waggy eh? Thanks. I didn't know exactly what years... :D
