Nice! Can't wait to see it come together. Are you going to go back to the green color? A little off topic but is that a "Super Jeep" hood in the back ground of your axle pic?

 

To be honest....
havent even taken one part off the green one.....
everything I am working on, or with so far has been a new purchase...

that's my 73 super jeep and my 60 cj5 in the background....
both of those have their own stories as well...

 

D30 Front..

3.73 gears
ARB locker
RCV shafts
Moog and Wagner chassis and brake parts
Rebuild with all new Timken bearings and Seals...
1982 CJ7 disk brake knuckles w/yukon HD spindles
Superwinch premium lockout hubs.

 

Let me get this straight, your building a very nice CJ6, and behind that in your work space is a nice shiney dauntless CJ5, some of us may be filled with inadequacies via Jeep envy.....

 

friends shop... my Jeeps...
that 5 is from here http://www.earlycj5.net/forums/showthread.php?72809-My-196x-CJ5-Build

never really finished it up.... its going to be completed on my dime with somebody elses time...
hopefully there should be some updates this winter on that Jeep..
amazing what 2 kids can change...

 

Great progress, I look forward to more updates!

 

Nice parts went into that front axle.

 

Thanks... Go big or go home right..

I don't know if culmination is the correct word...
but I'm building this jeep as a testament to all the things I have learned and f'ed up over the almost 2 decades I have been playing with jeeps.
Just trying to build a solid, bulletproof, proven and tested cool Jeep....

 

Very nice build! Quality parts. Mine will get an ARB in the rear as soon as I can source some offset 30 spline shafts for a good price.

 

working on my engine this week..
waiting for some parts to come in before I can button it up...

 

Intake oil baffle issues...
fabrication required...

 

Great work man.

 

intake baffle cleaned, mangled and riveted into place...
Bulltear engine parts finally came in today... will hopefully get some work done on the motor this weekend..

 

Started dressing the engine this weekend...



and after about 3-4 hrs....

still haven't decided on valve covers..
need to build oil pump and test for pressure...
figuring out acc. brackets and pulleys might be interesting as well.. have a box of parts and bolts that need to be sorted out.
There was some guesswork on the oil pan and pickup tube..
seemed a bit loose in the threads and I need a much better in. torque wrench for the pan bolts..
I might be pulling and re sealing this week...

 

Frame up on saw horses..
started reaming out front shackle bushings
cutting new thread on shock mounts and drilling out galvanizing slag.
