Damarble's 01 Sport, coil sprung HP D30 SAS, SOA, 33s, 4.56s, lockers

Just finished the rear axle today, SOA with Aussie locker and 4.56 gears. Rear springs are shot from towing and still need to be replaced. Also I need to weld shock mounts on the axle. This will all be done after the front axle is installed. It is a HP Dana 30 with gears and a locker to be added in a few months. Front suspension will be a Y-link with XJ coils and Ballistic brackets. Steering and panhard will be stock XJ for now. Tires are 33/12.5/15 Interco Truxus M/Ts on Soft 8 wheels with stock Ford center caps.

Cool beans. CE is a great field to find work with after the service. Intel... Make sure your background is squeaky clean, make sure your Facebook and Myspace doesn't have questionable stuff in it. Seriously, get whatever they tell you writing.

Yeah... anyways... still working on that.

Did get some new RS5000's in the front. Converted the D30 from the two piece disconnect shaft to a one piece and installed the front Lock-Right.

And found some mud!

Looking good man!! Come check out my custom lift thread. If you could offer some do and donts it would be appreciated.

air force here as well. take the d lab tomorrow, im trying to get into intell. i scored high enough on the asvab already to do whatever i want.

Cool. I qualify for intel too but I'm not really interested. I'm actually starting to favor Munitions Systems (2W0X1) now, sounds like a great job.

They are from a Jeep YJ, they bolt to the Ford lines and Jeep brakes with no adapters and they are really long.

Spent a few hours at the offroad park this morning.

bring that thing to cali and we will do fordyce.

Ha CA is a long way and gas isn't getting any cheaper.

This truck isn't going to see too much action anymore. Once I'm done with my Air Force stint I'm going to open some kind of fab shop and this truck will be advertisement so it needs to stay pretty. I picked up a 91 Sport that will become my hardcore crawler!

Anymore pictures of how you did the shift boot cover? Mine is all torn up and needs some attention.

Big update coming this weekend...

You're pregnant? Congratulations!


Chopping the top eh? You could buy a ranger! I thought about doing that and putting in a ranger gate. Rookieshooters B2 is pretty sweet set up that way.

Sorry missed that one. No more pics. I pretty much just made a funnel shaped piece from automotive vinyl from an upholstery shop. Turned it inside out to do the stitching.

 

[damarble]

Oh noes.

 

[Kirby N.]

Wow. You got a set! I bet you are feeling a little like "I hope this turns out as good as I hoped it would" right now! Looks sweet!

 

[DirtDemon85]

Cant wait to see how this turns out! I always toyed w/ the idea of choppin the top off. Now that i got a D44 sitting @ home time to start a very similar swap
