:haha::haha::haha::haha: I see you have also moved on to things beyond the offroad world :D

Knowledge I already had and dumb luck :D As well as testing everything every step along the way before making anything permanent. If something dosnt work out just right its nice to be able to change it easily.

Rubicon express 3.5" lift coils for the front of a 4cyl TJ

That's a heluva lot more than $600 :cool: Time is money and I got about a gazilion hours in this thing. $60 a hour x 1 gazilion = $60 gazilion dollars. I dont do financing :haha:

YES! my buggy sits in a storage shop in goldbar and my new toy is rockin! The buggys at the pita part where it looks like nothing gets done!

Then do it. :cool: It's not that hard or expensive. :awesomework: Just keep it simple, whitey is a great blueprint and I cant have more than $600 in to the front suspension.

Went out again today for a little r&d. Me and the goon (sh*tbreak) headed in to parts unknown for a little escape the shop witch (of course) resulted in a unplanned adventure. Perfect, that's EXACTLY what this truck was supposed to be for. We went up a road in the valley I had never been up...

With whitey the way it is I determined it good enough to go on the hangover run as a shakedown run, the only thing I wanted to fab on it was the front winch mount and the front bumper. I still have the old warn 9.5 ti that was on my silver/blue truck and the rental complete with synthetic line...

Engine in trans in, front suspension done, time for a test drive. I drove it on about a 4 mile loop of just street and the front rides great! no dreaded 35mph wobble, 60 mph let go of the wheel and just tracks along perfectly straight down the road. Also no bumpsteer :awesomework: The only issue...

So my major holdup in completing this engine (excluding the hollidays) was finding a good rocker arm assembly. The one in the truck was toast. Bad pad on the end of 2 rockers and closer examination revealed the rails were bad as well. I found another and after hot tanking it revealed that it was...

Phase 2 done! Been a while since updates but she's getting close now!!! As I said, I had the entire engine re machined, the head needed some welding so here's my prefered meathod of pre-heat [/IMG] After the head was all welded up, not due to cracks or anything just a wee bit of electrolosis...

It has steering stops, there made out of 1" fb, solid, baby! But as it is it maxes out the knuckles at the same basic time it hits the steer stops. Remember when you drove this truck and you said it needed the flywheel surfaced? Oh boy you dont know the half of it :looser: the whoopass "stage...

No, heads not done, why you got some big valves for me? :D I need a cam too... My LCE engine had a 450/450 lift 280 dur cam and 1.5mm larger valves and it RIPPED!! it was also 10.5:1 comp tho... :D:awesomework: I like parts :;

So the front suspensions done, that was phase one. I think i mentioned that the head gasket went when I pulled this hog in to the shop. So out came the engine. I already had the trans out so it was just as easy to just pull the whole engine out as to try to do the head with it in the truck. The...

Ok, Here's where I was, With the suspension fully welded and all painted up all purdy like It was final install time. Me and Rustytromboner :fawkdancesmiley: Assembled the frontend in about a hour and a half D-U-N done! Went together great! [/IMG] Frame end on pas side. [/IMG] [/IMG] So...

FINE!!! uh, where was I?

And if you think this is serious for even a moment then :haha: Rube.

That wasnt a trail, we flew off the road! :haha: I believe what we actualy did was shortcut a switchback. We're such bad, evil wheelers. :cheer:
