Not done collecting parts yet. But I'll break down what I've got in it...
Jeep XJ HP D30, sadly, its a disco axle. Yeah, I know. But it was FREE! AND, includes the full steering setup, trackbar and practically NEW rotors, pads and unit bearings...
2 sets of shafts for spares. Free.
3.73 and up carrier, $40 includes setup kit!
Used 4.10 ring and pinion, $50
6" Skyjacker XJ coils, $60
4" XJ coils (in case the 6" are too tall), FREE, had to help a friend with a FS Jeep motor
Lower front adjustable long arms for a TJ, free
1/4" steel plate scraps for making brackets, Free.
Jeep XJ trans crossmember, Free. I can cut and hack this and the original xmember for my project.
JK front upper control arms, to make adjustable, Free. (Keeping my eye out for some adjustable uppers though to save me some time)
33" BFG Trail TAs, AND a 32" MT for spare, $20. YES, $20. I know they are an older tire, but they have more than enough tread pass safety, no dry rot, and did I mention $20?
So far, I'm in it for $170 total. PLUS, lots of time, and patience. Constantly watching my local forums for cheap and free stuff. I still need some tube and rodends to make the adjustable upper arms for the Y-link radius arms.
I would like to get a solid right side shaft to replace the 2 piece shafts. But I have spares on hand for now. Who knows, I might get them for free too.
I need to finish the link arm mount brackets to bolt to the frame, These brackets also support the trans crossmember. I am looking to get a stock Ranger pitman arm, to use a Ranger tierod end with the Jeep drag link. Havent' decided whether to use the Jeep frame side trackbar mount, or fab something instead. Either way, the trackbar and steering box will be braced to the engine crossmember and opposite frame rail.
My goal has no time frame, I'm in no real hurry. I would like it done before the Zombie Uprising though. And I am hoping to keep the whole build under $500. My friend that was letting me borrow his welder had it stolen. Guess I should pony up and buy my own finally. And I need a slave cylinder too, but thats not part of the SAS, just a repair...
Actually I had a complete XJ for free that gave up the D30 and steering parts for the Ranger, a bunch pf spare parts for my XJ and the back half of the XJ I gave to my buddy for a trailer...
