What are you up to?

I figured I'd post up a thread showing what I am currently working on and If anyone else would like to show what they are working on as well. I know there are lots of projects happening to various rigs in the club all the time. Heck being somewhat new and getting acquainted with members I'm not even sure who has what rig and what you are getting into..
So... Show us what you are welding on, wrenching on, cutting on, bolting on, or whatever else you are up to.. :thumbup:



Here's what I am doing right now. 1999 TJ is getting an 8.8 Rear end and the IronRock offroad bracket kit.

I knew that. :D

Seriously, looks nice. I do love nice new parts...


Me, I just dug the old bushings out of my upper control arms. The fedex guy dropped off the new ones right after I left for work.

But first, that carrier bearing came in at AZ, so tomorrow I'll try to get that and the axleshaft in.

Still shooting for Saturday!

well after puking my front driveshaft in the blazer, replaced it only to find a bad wheel joint on it. So that is next on the list along with tieing up some loose ends on it. never torn a 60 apart, guess we will see what it is made off.

I'm currenty installing a dual fuel setup from Gotpropane.com, should have it totally done by Friday evening. By the flip of a switch while wheeling I will be able to Run on propane or gasoline. Will post up pics later today.

That sounds cool!!:thumbup:

I did get the bearing and axleshaft back in my 30, so the housing's not bent!

But the UCA's are apparently some off-brand or homebrew that won't take a standard size bushing. So now I'm on the hunt for a stock set to use the bushings I just bought.

Ain't nothin easy...

Replacing the engine in the buggy. Found a 4" long crack in the lifter valley. The 406 is going to be parted out and a much healthier 383 is going in its place:evilgrin:. Just going to set me back another month and a few bills.

That's bad news and good news all at the same time. :beers:

Been working on a new buggy. Its been 1 step forward and 6 back the entire time. this picture is older and the split "Y'' thing has been redone and so have the two tubes around the sides of the radiator. Not sure I'll have enough power to call it a bouncer, but it has rockwells, 44s and A LOT of tube

Was able to work on it this morning and got it running on either fuel, have a few loose ends to finish up on but will have it ready for a run out to Haspin on Saturday. I'm sure I may have to make a few adjustments but I'm sure it will work out.
