Then and Now, an 800 build
Been lurking for a while now. After watching some of the nice builds going on I figure I would share some of mine. I've had this '66 800 since '99. Got it with no eng,trans, or tcase. Threw a chevy 305, th350, np203, j20 dana 44, and chevy 12 bolt that I had laying around in it. Installed some lockrights, new painless harness, bestop seats, autometer gauges, and built a cage. Ran it this way for about 2 months, until I went to Hollister and found that I needed more gearing. Pulled the 305 and dropped in a 350, and installed a 203/205, and bumped up to 35" MTRs. Built my own rock sliders, bumpers, skidplates. Worked well like that for a couple of years. Rubicon, Fordyce, Hollister, Ect. Here's some pics of the early years. When I got it it was dent and rust free.
