The plan:
YJ tub and Frame with CJ grill and hood.
Vortec 5.3 / SM465 / Atlas?
leaf spring all around
Ford 9 rear, 35 spline
Ford 9 front, 35 spline (this depends on time and money)
40" tires, H2 wheels

you wouldn't like 40" tires. if i were you i would go smaller. :flipoff2:
there is always a reason some things are in a junkyard!
wtf? Is that one you guys got?
no. it was on pirate.
that would cause a small miss
what a mess.
Teardown is complete. Now it's time to cut and grind all the crap off the frame and to scrap / blast all the glue (they glued the carpet on) off the body...
Just out of curiosity how did yall lift the tub off the frame?
probably two people lift it... they are pretty light are they not
I did it myself with an engine hoistQuote:

Because that would be too logical, and girls don't think that way. :flipoff2:
Because we can sell it for about $4000 and we won't be using ANYTHING on it and we wouldn't be able to sell any of it parts if we did take it apart. The body has too many dents too.Quote:

Plus - the one I bought came with spare front axle parts, I can replace her broken shaft now. I also have a D35C shaft to sell. The body is in better shape also...
Make since yet???
yes
