Progress Pics - '62 CJ5 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Geesh · 10-22-2004, 10:01 PM

[Edit] thought I'd post some latest photos SEE third PAGE - oops 4th

hey hey -

Thought I'd show some progress pics of the Heep. Getting it ready for a move to Reno soonly, so I tacked on the rear shackle mounts, finished up fab-mods to a sweet set of Dean's re-centered H1 wheels (thanks, your shite rocks) and stuck the axles under it. That way it could be rolled onto the trailer.

Here's what it is so far:

'62 -5 tub on a PBB-inspired 4x2.5x0.120 rect tube, very simple frame
'92 FS Cheb 4.3l TBI - roller rockers, HV oil pump, alum. rad, other than that, OE ('cept for 10cfm York)
Rebuilt SM465, Novak mainshaft and replacement counter gear (thanks, Eric!) w/Novak D20 adapter
D20 twinstick with original D18 gears and Novak intermediate shaft upgrade
Rear Waggy D44 with Yukon 4.88's, ARB, post '88 Cheb front disks/calipers, Mitchell Diff. FF conversion on Moser shafts
Front Waggy D44 with Warn shafts, ARB, same gearing, every moving piece replaced
Rockstomper draglink & tierod with ER-designed high steer conversion using Waggy Saginaw box
cage and seats aren't shown
16ga Summit Fuel cell with holley inline pump
home-fabbed 3/16" aluminum dash, 11 ga steel tranny tunnel, front floor, firewall portions[XJ tilt column
66CJDean wheels with rolled 1/2" rebar welded in to protect wheel outers
TnT Customs SliderZ & CornerZ to follow soonly

all I can think of for now.

Reno.......Lots of really good trails around here, close to town too!!

larryboy · 10-23-2004, 09:05 AM

funny how that works,"we're moving? holy crap i gotta do some work to the jeep so it can go with us.".

,i've done the same thing. it still isn't done.

,maybe i should move again?

what size tires are those?

dozer dude · 10-23-2004, 09:13 AM

Looks nice. I'd like to see the underside of that fuel cell and how you mounted it. I plan on doing something like that with my 20 gal summit cell.
any pics of the under side of it.

Geesh · 10-23-2004, 09:55 AM

Dead - Yeah, I am looking forward to getting there

Larry - 36x13.5x16.5. They came out looking dmaller than I thought. It will look better once i can lower it some

Here's the underside -
You're sure right about moving being the ultimate motivator. . .

Geesh · 10-23-2004, 10:00 AM

Another shot of the fuel cell mount. The mount is a bolt-on piece consisting of 1x1x0.90 square tube and more of that scrap 11ga. I had to make a sloped drop for the low spot on the cell. The tie down straps on the cell tie into the mount. The mount bolts to two legnths of welded-on 1x1 angle, allowing for frame flex. The cell sits on sections of old whitewater rafting material - Hypalon for cushion/wear resistance. Fuel lines poke out in from of the drip and tie into the side of the frame (or rather will ~ thanks Brian!)

71Dauntless · 10-23-2004, 12:13 PM

Looks

Do you have any dimensions on the frame? Possibly a CAD drawing?

Brian1 · 10-23-2004, 03:58 PM

I have seen Geesh's rig in person and it is pretty sweet and it will be awesome when he finishes it. I am really impressed with his transmission tunnel cover, it looks really good and clean, cant really see it good in any of his pics.

CAVE · 10-23-2004, 06:34 PM

Could you email me a couple close ups of the fenders?
Thanks

Geesh · 10-23-2004, 08:57 PM

Brian -
Thanks -

You've got the sweet rig goin . . .

Cave -

I can take photos; just remind me via PM or email. Right now just getting the camera my be a bit of effort . . .

Dauntless -
I have a Solidworks file of the frame, or can export it in a version you can read. Let me know what you need

302YJ · 10-23-2004, 09:41 PM

looks good mang...

dana300 · 10-24-2004, 01:49 AM

Nicely done ! I really like the fuel cell positioning instead of just laying it in the tub....
would like to see engine bay pics after you get settled in the new digs.....

NVCJ · 10-24-2004, 06:31 AM

Lookin good, welcome to nevada...You will like the wheelin......

Bgcj5 · 10-24-2004, 04:51 PM

I really like the different approach to the front fenders, are u going to skin that gap or leave it?

Starboard M · 10-24-2004, 05:30 PM

How much did you streach the wb by?
Thanks, and looks good

Geesh · 10-24-2004, 06:50 PM

Here are some shots of the fenders (I dug the camera out). This is the first effort, and I have to say I'm not 100% happy with the strength of them. Since the tub sits on rubber bushings, the front clip does too. After seeing a thread showing a guy pulling on a fender to right the vehicle, my faith in my design was diminished. So I am thinking reinforcements are in order.

No plans on bending sheetmetal to further the 'OE fenderization'. I'm not even certain what ah'll do with them.

71Dauntless · 10-25-2004, 09:12 AM

Geesh, PM'ed ya about the CAD model.

Geesh · 10-27-2004, 11:14 AM

- Reading PM now, Daunltess

stoutcrawler · 11-02-2004, 12:23 PM
