Another FW 78/79 dana 44 swap


Well you must be a oba. Because there was a few days I needed my AC.

Original Bad Ass? Why yes, yes I am. :D

Actually I was lazy during my engine swap and thought it'd be easier if I didn't have to fawk with the AC. I should've kept it. Oh well, less parasitic drag on the engine I spose.

I'm lookin forward to Redbird. I hope the rest of the build goes smooth for ya.
 
drive your ass to frankfort in a month and see for yourself :thefinger:

There are pics in the build thread. It was easier than i thought it was going to be. Just relocated the battery and intake. If you really want me to, i will snap some pics for you today after work

I just looked at your build thread, that is some good work. Really like how it is done but mine needs to be finished this week so hoops and some bracing for now.

Frankfort isn't that far. we should get everybody together and go wheelin.

Got the tabs welded on. They are off center because of one hoop goes more towards the front.

I'll just keep whittling away at it. The plan is to take it to Interlake this weekend for a shakedown run. And I'm off Monday so should be ready for Redbird.

This is Mark's truck, he will be meeting us there.

btw, does Mark still have those 35x12.50x17's????

I don't think he still has them. Jeremy in the yellow jk on 37s and our buddy Kevin with the 2door xj on 36s are going as well. Kevin just finished his kingpin 60 and 14 bolt swap.
 
cool....haven't seen Kevin in FOREVER....will be neat to see his swap as well....

ok, just curious was all about the tires...

will be a fun trip:icon_thumby:

I'm down.

I also had a question/proposition for you...

How much would you charge to build a cage inside the exploder?
 
I'm registered for the Redbird run. Just made the cut at #97. Free admission and t-shirt. Woo hoo!

I tried to call tonight but nobody answered so I emailed mine. Hope I'm 99.

Railman sorry but I used those shock towers for lower mounts, at least part of them.
