pickup or station wagon,...

Decisions, decisions.

How much rust?

 

[Baja_XJ]

Shes pretty clean, hadnt move for a couple years.. until today! but what rust there is dont matter, the rusty stuff will be replaced with glass. Intentions are pretty crazy, but not wild, goning to see how budgeted this can be as most everything installed will be from a junkyard, hint hint lol i know that hint didnt really help you at all

I'll give a short description of where Im headed with this build, going to start out by taking the doghouse off and the bed off. Going glass front and rear. going full cage, fenders, hood, bedskins will all mount to the cage. now for the cheap(er) mods. Going to do a rear c notch in the frame, doing 64" Chevy leaves with some magic worked on them, spring undered 9", flipped rear shackle, around probably a 9" shackle and a 2 link for axle wrap eliminating and shock mounting, front Im probably going with F150 beams to get the ball rolling and I will build my own later on down the road when the time comes. Also planning on sitting in most likely a 302, maybe 351 but doubt it, going to set the engine back, shooting for roughly 9" setback on the block. sounds expensive and should perform it but like i said, almost all the parts that normally make a build expensive will be junkyard parts and will get some high teen travel numbers, around 17

OK, so why all the other trick stuff and no 4-link c/o in the rear?

 

[Baja_XJ]

all about saving the money, it will be 4link c/o eventually but not for awhile
