making my 5 a 6

How do you know where to place the motor mounts without the tub being in position? I noticed there wasn't a lot of extra space between the firewall and the front crossmember for my engine. In stock form the driver side valve cover is already really close to the firewall.

my old 5 frame had a v6 so I took carefull measurements since my new 6 frame had none , after I tacked them I installed the motor again to make sure the mounts were good before fully welding them in . so far all is good and in the same place as the factory .

 

Hey Steve, diggin your clutch chain...thing. Where did you get it and how do you like it??? Tired of loosing clutch whenever the frame starts to tweak.

 

I figured you had a plan. Just making sure I got your back. hehe

 

Mark thats a super vintage version of the AA chain clutch
I have heard a few people say it's more reliable than stock linkage , I've have no problems with it and don't feel the need for a hydro clutch set up......it never binds but it"s very worn but works really well.I pack a few spare masterlinks on the long voyages.


Posi - thanks bro.

 

Sweet thanks...gonna have to get me somthing like that.

 

it's official I now own a cj6 . Tub is all welded up and in 1 piece.

 

Congrats Steve

cj6/442?

 

We expect pictures soon. :toetap:

 

yeah, what he said...

 

ok changed my screen name to cj6/442

and here it is with some fresh paint ...........the driver side is straighter than the passenger side .... remember the pics of Dummy's carnage ......still working on the pass side but for a trail rig it's pretty straight ...especially for me .

 

What are those hood latches from? I like them

 

i got them off a early power wagon ,cool ringer loop on them , work perfect and different

 

Looks good Steve.
Now you'll have to learn how to drive off road all over again.

 

Jim ,,,I agree .I'm predicting the first year of wheel'n is gunna suck bigtime

 

Saweeet. You'll be ready for July I'm thinking. You are going to love the extra wheelbase. Are you over 100"s? I'm guessing you are. Must be nice to live somewhere that you can work on your stuff outside in the Winter.
