Before & After so far

I was just organizing my computer along with the pics on it and thought I have some good before and after shots of the progress so far. Big difference huh?

Nice!

 

Hope you saved those Grip Spurs for when you want to get it dirty! 'Course if you do that too much your "after" is gonna look like your "before" R)R)

 

Eye candy! Good job to date!

 

Yea...lol, that's why I went with the AT's. At least at first I won't be tempted to do anything too crazy. I'm really not looking forward to getting that first big scratch(or dent). It's going to be a bad day. I can tell already.

 

Awesome work!

 

Good job. I wish mine was half that far done.

 

clean! do you wear a lab coat when working on your jeep?

 

I am going to ask. In the pic with the trans and transfer case, there is silver case on the back of the transfer case, going to drivers side with small shaft running to front. I think I might know what it is. What is it?

 

Well I see a PTO winch on the front of the before pic..

 

Yep....PTO

The case is aluminum and I think they weren't painted originally. I think the winch itself was a gold color (anyone know?)When I got it, it was layered with different paint. When I had everything sand blasted, they messed up the data plates on the drum and PTO. After I cleaned everything it didnt look that good anyway, so I found some Rustoleum "Charcoal metallic" that I think looks pretty good. I tried to go with a combination black and that color on some of the stuff.

 

I thought it was a PTO. What RPM does the shaft to the winch turn?

 

Don't know how fast it turns....hasn't turned since the 80's. I do know you can vary the speed of the drum by shifting gears in the tranny. You put the transfercaese in neutral, put it in 1st for slow or 2nd or third for faster and step on the gas. You don't have to worry about bogging down the battery cuz as long as the engine runs, so will the winch

As in: his rig looks good at 10 ft away going 10mph but not so much up close and stopped.


Very nice work. your jeep is going ot be better than new when you done. Thumbs up!

 

Oh...Thats kind of like "She's a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2"....LOL
