Any progress?

 

I had a transmission that was in my sons old truck, blown 5th gear...I have a friend building a good transmisson out ot the 2..I blew the first 2 main gears out of mine. Hopefully it will be ready tomorrow..

 

i miss my first gen, should have never sold it, wonder how well that setup for the snorkel would work on a 22re.... hmmmmmm

 

I think it would be easier......Ya wouldn't have to make a box for the filter...

 

yeah but i would have to deal with AFM, blah, crap electronics.....

 

Negative....I moved the airbox on a Tracker I had..connected it with a ˟˟˟˟˟ sucker tube...... I believe the fancy store bought snorkles connect to the factory air box...

 

It has been a long frustrating 2 months...A friend of mine worked on the trans for me, built one from the 2 junk ones I had...Well we thought it would work...as soon as I tightened down the cover everything would bind up....After several hours of screwing with it, I threw in the towel and bought a trans & Tcase out of an 89..So far everthing looks like it will work...I built a crossmember/skid plate so that handled moving the crossmember..I got the front shaft out of the 89, it fits....I will have to shorten the back shaft & my spare back shaft.. I have a long week at work..Hopefully I can finish everything up next weekend...I will try to get a picture of the crossmember/skid plate...

 

How are holding down the leading edge?

 

I cut the front rail of a Heep top channel in 3 pieces and screwed it down.. I unstiched the top and cut the plastic that was in it the same way & resewed it. The top came off a YJ Heep.

 

Been a while since I've had any thing to post....The transmission fiasco was a pain in the A$$....
I ended up putting a transmission from an 89 in. I had to shorten the rear shafts ( I have a spare ) and I used the front shaft from the 89..

I made a skidplate / crossmember..


Installed..



Everything seems to be working pretty good....

 

For Valentines day, I got myself a winch....

Front view.


Rear view.


I put it on a receiver mount so I can use it off my Tocoma & the tractor...

 

Like the winch setup.

 

Thanks.....Hopefully I can finish it Monday....And wheel with it Tuesday...

 

Early B-day present...........Love craigslist, $950 for damn near new 12.50x36 Swampers.....


Compare to the 14x35 Gumbos.........


I sure hope these ride better....lol

 

I need a way to idle the truck up while winching, so I did a little Yodarigging.....
Stole a high idle switch off my buddies Heep....I know, I know, but they are good for some things...I used a bracket from Lord knows where, but it worked perfect...


There was no where on the Weber ot the linkage for the switch to hit, so I welded a washer to an extra linkage I had.....That way if I fudged it up, I still had a good linkage.

The modded linkage on the left...

On the truck....Holds the idle @ 2100rpm...With the flip of a switch..


Opinons?

 

SUMMER is coming (someday)....So its time to take the doors OFF...I had to figure out what to do with the door speakers, so I made some speaker boxes (cans).

The cans cut down...


The can mounted to the kick panel...


And the speaker installed...


Now if it will just get warm & quit raining so damn much.....

 

Another Craigslist find......


In the truck.


I had to yodarig a hold down, made this from an old shifter linkage..


All done & ready for a test run..


OMF'N GAWD....Talk about waking up a 22R...Man what a difference...

 

A couple of poser shots with the new 36's

 

I just looked up that distributor and now I'm super jealous! Is it really as good as it supposed to be?
