Just Got Myself Into A 6...

Sweet build!

Whart A/c system are you using?

 

Jeep Air..
Heat and AC... simple one unit install... and I dont need to cut a cowl vent in the tub.

 

Who makes that?

 

jeep air

 

Do you take the stock heater box out with that? What about defrost?

 

yes.. its an all inclusive unit..
defrost is achieved using plenum and stock holes in windshield frame..

 

Sweet! I'm buying that.

 

Would love to see pics once installed! I want to add a/c eventually.

 

hopefully ill start working on the tub in the next couple weeks..

prob still a way off before its installed....
but the comp is mounted

 

have to design a tub lifting rig...

Im thinking some 2x4 and a single eyelet...
going to have to find the COG for a CJ6...

 

Got some misc work done on the frame today..
Started the running the rear brake lines...
76-86 SS flex lines do not work with the 73 pre bent SS lines..
Need some adapters...


Motor frame mounts positioned.. and of course 72-75 Jeeps require some "drilling modification"


New lower shock studs made.. better alignment with the top studs.

 

Anybody have a picture of the stock 3 piece crossmember.... Forgot what the puzzle piece looked like..

 

The trans crossmember and skidplate?

 

Well just the crossmember...

mine was in three pieces cross bar and 2 braces.. Deff 100 percent stock

 

crossmember mounted tonight... seems there are 2 stock positions so its just finger tight for the moment..
yay fastenall for all new flange bolts and nuts.

 

picked misc CJ6 parts and MJ bumpers from powdercoat...

 

tackled steering this weekend..


Box mounted on new bracket..





Steering box brace mounted...







Missing Pitman arm nut... so all progress kinda halted here..






getting ready to plop the engine in the frame...

 

Odd question....


Anybody mount a fiberglass tub or repli tub without scribe marks?
I was just thinking what would I have to reference that the tub is in the correct position...?


I haven't actually mocked the tub on the frame yet.. So if there is an 'ah ah' factor here I apologize..
