Project Florida Crawler 2

[N20Jeep]

tossed together the grill so that i could have something else to look at other than the radiator and condenser .


also finished up the 300 shifters, added some handles to them, i think they turned out cool.

Shifters look legit. Im putting inthe same setup in a week or two. I have cable shifters but i would much prefer your setup.

what cables do you have?

when i can, i want to replace the whole setup with a triple stick buggy shifter setup from JB fab. i think i can fit all three in the stockish location on the center console.

I have the northwestfab triple kit. Have yet to install it but im more sold on mechanical.

Glad to see updates on this thing!

I really like how you did your rear link setup while keep the rig full body. I will be using a similar setup when I link and coil over my rig! Thanks for the ideas!

 

[N20Jeep]

Tossed a front shaft in and pulled it out of the shop. Still a ton of work left, but it moved

Looks good.... should go about anywhere you point it. If you don't mind me asking what upper, lower and keeper spring rates are you running on the front?

 

[N20Jeep]

The oris are nitrogen shocks

 

[jbain08]

thanks... I see that now.... I've been reading on those as well. Seems for low speed stuff alot of people are preferring them over the coilover.... as long as you get the valving right... I'll be interested to get your opinion once you've had it out.

This is the second jeep ive ran them on. Im a huge fan of their performance overall, and the packaging

 

[jbain08]

Appreciate the info.... I'm leaning this way but I've read to get the valving right you really have to work at it.

got the brake lines done and the exhaust finished up minus the header wrap in certain spots.








gave double low range a test (before exhaust was finished up)

So much room for activities with the tank removed lol. I don't think i've seen many people run the exhaust with the muffler in the rear like that. I like it.

 

[N20Jeep]

Seemed like a good spot. Clears the axle at full bump, tucks up above the bottom of the rails, and its really the only place on the jeep a muffler will for (minus a cherry bomb)

 

[N20Jeep]

tossed it up on the ramp to check some clearances.

Drool!

I love this build. About to start something similar (4 link rear with ori's on a late model)
Looks really good, you do some nice work. Thank you for posting, gives me motivation!

I like your 231/300 T-case selection. I have been real happy with mine for 4-5 years now. The only thing I did different was moving the forks to the top which worked out real nice! /Users/nelsonmolina/Pictures/DSCN0224.JPG
I made the cable (military airplane grade)shifter mounts as well!

The reason I posted is to find out about the shocks! I am sure there are others interested too! I was thinking of running the air struts and was given nothing but bad comments on them. I seen them working on a Wrangler a couple years back and really want to go this route! Have you had them on the trail yet? If so how do you like them? Last is how do you have them set up, pressure or? the particulars on them?

you've got a lot of bad comments about ORIs? or just air shocks in general?

i had them on the trail in my last XJ and loved them. street and trail performance was miles ahead of my coil and shocks setup. the increased stability i felt added a ton of confidence on some of the crazier obstacles.

your pictures don't show up BTW

 

[Jbh97009]

Maybe bosscherokee is thinking of normal air shocks, ori's are a totally different animal...

 

[Boss Cherokee]

I think fox made some and someone else. I like to ORIs! Whats they're cost and is there any special shock valving or? Id probably go with the same lengths.
