93 yuppie jeep bulid

[redneck6]

This is my fierst attempt of a bulid therd and a bulid this big so please keep that in mind when you flame me , and this is a ongoing project it is low budget also so not so much bling .all commets and sugjestions are welcome unless it involes my spelling .:Big Grin: so on to a few specs and pictrues


1993 jeep yj , was horse traded for so got it fairly cheap.
had a 2.5l 4cyl ax-5 np 231 , was sapposed to run thorw a few cheaper parts at it and a lil time at it but never herd it run longer then 30 secoand and that was off the can of starter fluied. Came with a bunch of crap i wasnt going to use . not the kids them are mine .http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1706.jpg
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1707.jpg

so i was buliding a cj-5 before i got the yj and i knew i was going to need the room of a yj or cj7 , so i had a few parts slated for that project , like a rebulit TBI 350 and sm465 , so animc 4 cyl that never ran was not to be and twice rebulit 350 to the rescue spec are 79 block punched .080 by PO moly rings , all new bearings cam with idele-5,500 dur 204/214 lift .420/.442
new push rods and guide plates will do head work at a later date.http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1793.jpg

[MR.ROCKAPE]

Small update with pictrues.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1852.jpg

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1854.jpg

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1853.jpg
got new custom ubolts for the front to match the beef ruff stuff sent me .
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1856.jpg

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1859.jpg

http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o247/redneck6_photos/100_1861.jpg
the tiers that are dictating my wheel choice got a hell of a deal on them freebee 38.5 /12/15, went to summiet to get wheels today , but ran in to a hell of a snag i am running a 44 and 60 out of a 78-79 ford f250 so i got huge brakes only problem with that is i am going to have to run a 2in back space wheel , or change out brakes to chevy or other type of brakes , or buy all new tiers and run 16'' but i cant relly do that , so it is looking like i am going to run 2 in back space wheels , but going to have to speacil order them , and no returns on them so hope there right . need 15x10 8 on 6.5 2'' b/s , open to ideas if you have a wheel like that would love to borrow it and see if it fits.:Big Grin: more updats to come hopefully tomarow.

[jeeper89]

would you be able to grind your calipers down to fit the 15" rims over them?

[redneck6]

i can grind some of the clapiers down but not enough to fit a 4 in b/s wheel , i called summiet tonight and they have a 2.5 in back space wheel in stock , it is in raw steel i am going to go get one and see if they will fit with minamle grinding . i know every one says grind or cut to make fit but i am on the fence about grinding too much of the calipers brakes are way to imporent lol.

if your worried you can get a spare one from the junk yard and throw it on just to "test fit" so if you grind to much and find out its not going to work your not out one of your good ones.

I looked at junkyards for calipers for core charge on my new ones...Most wouldnt pull them off an axle and those that would wanted just as much as new ones (minus core charge).

did you go to P-N-P? im not sure about the prices but you would be able to pull them off yourself.

I needed d60 calipers, I called them they said they had nothing at the time. Still wanted $30. New ones were 40 + core.

Holly Motor home. Ill have to recheck mine But I think im at 83 in and i got them big ole mogs.

[MR.ROCKAPE]

damn 91" is crazy...that means its as wide as a stock yj WB!!!I think the truggy is 86-87" with rockwells and flipped in hubs!!!At least it will be tough to flip over sideways!!!!


Looks good keep the updates coming!!!

[Dnmeistr]

91" that rules out Barret Lake :eek: I'm around 84" with 38.5" SX's and full widths.

[wix]

91" that rules out Barret Lake :eek: I'm around 84" with 38.5" SX's and full widths.

Techinically I think it rules out any designated trails in Ca.? Like Fordyce?

[redneck6]

it is huge i know but , dont got much of a choice running 15;; rims on 2.5 b/s it looks kinda odd it is almost as wide as it is long lol. should be real stable .

[Stetson22]

I think the added stretch xj springs and the added width will make this very stable all thought you might have to choose difrent lines than most.

Look at 1sawb.....he is like the safety glasses patrol!!!:cool:<----there I got mine awn!!!:Big Grin:

[wix]

Looks good. Its nice when you think you're about done, then you do a list. All that little shit adds up to a lot still left to do. Gen right makes a comp cut rear corner. Myself and Denny's black yj have them.

[Dnmeistr]

And if I was to do it again I would just do corners, screw all that body armor shit, it just adds unnecessary weight. But I do believe Genright has the best price.

[redneck6]

ya was thinking gen-right is right price . man this shit is starting to annoy me lol , but it is geting warm and i wanna wheel so got to keep working . wire's are so far biggest PITA but i refuse to buy painless or one of them untill i have choped the stock harrnes to obliven . wierd like that i gusse , got oil fliter in and the dam cooler that came with it fun . got rad hoses ran was able to modife stock ones , going to work on wires more tomarrow maybe can get it to fire still need to swap fuel pumps .:redface:

I am having trouble geting this dam thing to run , got all wiers like they go got spark plug wiers ran how they go , got timing set to 0 mark at TDC got rotor on dizzy poitied to #1 cyl at tdc . using starting fluid to get it to try and run a few secoands , as dont got fuel hooked up yet but it keeps back firing witch is cool but very unperductive ?:14::mad::frown:

MAKE SURE THE DIST ISNT 180 DEGREES OUT....JUST BECAUSE THE THE MARK ON THE PULLEY LINES UP DOESNT MEAN THE #1 CYLINDER ISNT ON ITS EXHAUST STROKE INSTEAD OF ITS COMPRESSION/POWER STROKE IT SHOULD BE!!!
PULL THE #1 PLUG OUT AND TAP ENGINE AROUND UNTIL IT PUSHES YOUR FINGER OFF OF THE #1 HOLE....LINE UP YOU MARK ON YOUR CRANK/TIMING POINTER AND RECHECK WHERE THE ROTOR IS POINTING!!!!

AND JUST AN FYI....ITS 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 FIRING ORDER.....ODD CYLINDERS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE,EVEN ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE(#1 #2 ARE AT THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE CLOSEST TO THE RADIATOR!!!!)

[redneck6]

dam why didnt i think of that , that the mark on blancer may be off since we did just rebulid it , if it is i owe you a beer sir .

[redneck6]

you sir are the man i owe you a beer , the dam mark on the harmionc blancer is about 8 degress retared much like my spelling , sweet it is alive no i just need to get a plug wer the cross over for the water used to be , and figure out what to do with fuel tank . and get a transfer case on there as it is puking tranny fluid hehe .

[Stetson22]

so many people dont get that i ounce got a deal on a rig because the guy installed the intake on backwards and even thought it lines up i had changed theinjector firring order due too the injectors are in the intake,he was pissed

[Stetson22]

not dead just the trucking season is taking off for us and im working way to much give me a call

[redneck6]

lol you work to dam much lol , hey i found 150' feet of 220v cable just need to find some plug ends , the heep has changed alot since you was over here last .

[Stetson22]

have you been getting anything done on the yj,im in the midle of the tj susp swap.

[redneck6]

no right now i am playing with transfer case ideas short list go like this need fuel cell , run brake lines and the steering , and transfer case , and then move on to cage and seats and and what not . o ya i am poor so updates are going to be slow .

the 15 gallon has the same heigth as the 12 gallon, dual pick-ups just help avoid sucking air when being off camber. Or I can just try and not to run it dry.

i think i have the 12 gallon somone gave it to me for some work i did, is that really enough fuel? i guess if your trailering it, it would be fine or just start straping jerry cans on it:gapteeth:

the stock jeep one is only 15-20 but should be good to go on runs like bud and bronco moon rocks most r4x4 runs are out with there 20+ rigs and cluster fucks will need to carry extra for them . any one have a front drive shaft out of a chevy with a np241 going to have to use the stocker i got for parts for the rear . what you all think of the color choice need to spary the frame and axles , get some bed liner for the tub and then i am thinking painting is done tell it gets scratched up .:gapteeth:

[redneck6]

need to get off my lazy arse and do that , didnt think any one was still watching this lol.

[redneck6]

so i am at a bit of a stand still i have been making lilttle progress on this , but i decided to cut all of the leaf spring hangers and shock mounts of the front , i have most all the three link brackets on order and enroute . and brackets to mount coil springs got some stock tj fronts was going to try and use them , but now i am thinking of the fact i am linking it i might invest in some air shocks what do you all think it will see the street and what not , ps all brackets are from balistic will take pictrues soon enough so opions on air shocks vs coil's good or bad and yes i know will need saw bar , keeping in mind the rear is still leafs and are going to stay like so for a while . :Big Grin::gapteeth: maybe be done by EJS 2009 .

[redneck6]

so i got all my joints and brackets and air shocks from ballistic all i am waiting on is some tube and time , well hell i got the time too work gave me a 4 day woo hoo so as soon as i get the tranny swaped out in the blazer the three link wil commence this week end on the yj i will try and update this thread if any one is still reading it .

front 3 link joints are balistic fab 3'' joints . upper and lower links are 2'' .250 wall panhard wich i still got to fab is 1''3/4 .250 wall all brackets are blaistic 1/8 air shocks are balistic 2.0 14'' travel . i learned a few things last few days cuting and moving shit more then once suks ass . it is better to make small strong tacks and dont fully weld shit untill your for sure done . harbor fright 4 1/2 inch grinders are not good for long term whent thought two in last year .
and notching tube with a 9 inch grinder kinda sucks . and when you weld joints it is better to leave joint assmbeld then to take it aprt got weld in threads of one . and it is nice to have understanding wife and be greatfull when she helps with jeep shit on v day lol .

[redneck6]

links are 34'' center to center all three are adjustable hopefully i only got to carry one spare . and all bolts holding joints are 3/4 grade 8 i spent $80 on just bolts nuts and washers for front
