Here's another rearward shot I forgot to post up.

I actually like how I added the bottom tube. Keeps the bedsides from caving in.
 
Question: If your jeep is hot and you decide to remove the radiator cap where will the coolant go? It looks like it'll go right onto your driver's seat...

If you remove a cap while it's hot with the engine running, shouldn't be a big deal as the first safety click back vents the pressure.

But a good observation. I can always throw a quick sheetmetal shield in front of the filler neck that's attached to the cage tubing.
 
I'll add a shield this weekend, thanks Adam and Adam.

But the whole point of a radiator cap is it has a spring relief. If the pressure ever builds up too much, it blows out of the fitting on the neck, which will have a hose routing it down and out the rear of the jeep.

i was overheating in tennessee after i swapped a water pump in a parking lot in VA going xcountry bc there was still a little air left in the system. ok, no problem, it was a 75% water mix anyway and we had plenty of spare fluids so i popped the hood and twisted the cap to let the air out. the relief spring worked fine for about 45 seconds until it blew off and the radiator old faithfulled all over I78.

those springs and lev-r-vent caps do work, but better safe than sorry. 250F coolant on your neck would suck.

I agree, and I'm going to add a shield, but you just said you twisted the cap off it's safety lock and then it popped off? I'm assuming you did that with the engine off. I always pop the cap with the engine running when it's hot or else there's too much pressure in the system.

Like I said, when they're locked down, they shouldn't pop off. Unless they were bad to begin with.
 
i think you might get toasty with the radiator that close to you.

perfect for winter wheeling

I call bullshit on this story.

I-78 doesn't run through Tennessee.

:D
 
NP241 all assembled. Added a sight level, but you can't see it in these pics, it's on the other side of the case. Had to file the ends of the splines on the coupling shaft since they weren't cleaned up. No big deal. My brother helped me for most of the day cleaning up everything, it was a bitch.

NP205 all assembled. Didn't have to replace any bearings, just gaskets/seals. HAD 1350 flanges front/rear. I also ground the shift rails so it's twin sticked.

Driveshaft parts. All 1350 stuff.

1350 CV going together.

Front stub. 1.375" diameter stub, 16 spline. Stock XJ is 1.25" stub for reference.

Checking runout. Got it down to ~0.010" before final welding. Didn't check it afterwards, I should do that tomorrow.

My free cat that decided to make itself at home one day is why I bought the 360 donor for my MJ

What did your dog ever do for your MJ? Huh?
