Zips My 88 Heep DD

[Luke95]

I bought this jeep last summer as a first vehicle, $500.
Im not going to over the top for now.

This is how she started her life with me. Terrible rust and needing a tune up.

me stripping her a little

Junk of what was holding a rear bumper

I was able to pull it off with my hand.

jerk at work

Fixing my Door

I changed my lower control arms to Rusty's that came with the heep :headbang:

bedlinered the sides

Cleaning up my rims

I just bought a set of used rancho 9000s in great shape!
I pulled the trigger on a set of RE 3.5 Coils

working on the lift

The start of my rear bumper. Far from one but just working on it to be legal.

Wheeling in the ninja mud.

Bye bye exhaust system.

Win.

Coming out

Cherokar parking

SO after that last pic I went wheeling and bent a 35 shaft. :rattle: Im on 235s WTF? HOW?
SO im looking at picking up a 8.25 29 spline next weekend :wave1:

Plans are to do some brake upgrades and put the shocks on the outer part of the frame rails. Then cheap 33-35s with lots of skids :skull2:

 

[MrShaft696]

good plan, friend of mine has been wheeling a d35 on 33's for a while & its held up but I have seen them snap barley doing anything...

 

[Luke95]

I was being super gentile in the rock but no. :firedevil
I eased in and out of it. Meh. Im going to go for a aussie or maybe just weld it.

 

[chedisme]

I wouldent put any money in the d35 I would just weld it up for now and continue to look for an 8.25.

or since it looks like you can weld you could do an 8.8 out of an explorer. Alot of people have good luck with them. just weld the tubes to the center section and you have a pretty strong axle. and I dont remember but probably disk brakes too.

 

[H8PVMT]

I have 3 8.25's in my garage if you want a better rear

 

[Luke95]

If its a 29 spline and below $100 Ill take it. Thats what the current offer I have is from SIS.

I kind of need something that I can put in fast, I dont like driving around on a bent dana 35 shaft. The vibes get fun at highway speeds.

 

[Luke95]

Fixed my high idle issues win. :firedevil

 

[Luke95]

High Idle came back. Win.
Would a 48 ar trim tubro be to small for a 4.0 running on 5-6 psi boost?
Just thinking out loud.

 

[clean4drxj]

I wouldn't do a forced induction system till your drive train/suspenion was done(to handle to extra power).

 

[Luke95]

I am not going crazy. I'm going to do the axle then my drivetrain is done.
I'm just thinking out loud, well for tuning what's up with a fmu?

 

[chedisme]

I dont know much about forced induction, but if you look in the street and performance forum there are a few good threads in there.

 

[Luke95]

Im talking to Bryson (boostwerks) and PseudoSport :wave1:
This forum is epic. Im also talking to TurboTPI, on the jeepforum.
If I were to do a turbo setup I would want a 4-6 PSI Setup, with a .48AR and .60 side. This is for a fast spool, but enough to carry power till the rev limiter.
I love Brysons manifold, but do to the fact that I spent around $500 on the jeep putting a $800 manifold is a lot of dough. You follow?
For tunning either a megasquirt or FMU and boost timing retard, Best options for a reasonable amount of money.
For me the order of opperations would be
8.25 29 spline then Boost.
For the tranny a radesigns BAJA II.

God is it nice to have a job! That pays halfway decent!

 

[Luke95]

So herrrrrrr da durrrrrrrrrr
I am bored and need cheap ideas for the jeep.

 

[H8PVMT]

Sawzall blades are cheap, go to town on the sheet metal.

 

[Luke95]

Were?
Backs trimmed already, I need to do the fronts but I want at least 32-35 tires first....

 

[chedisme]

did you do the cut and fold on the panel behind the rear tires? you could do that.

 

[Luke95]

Done that, I mean by cheap like under 50 bucks

 

[ctxjlimited]

Done that, I mean by cheap like under 50 bucks

Step 1:Buy 50 $1 scratch off tickets

Step 2: Count winnings

Step 3: Buy 8.25

It's fool proof.

 

[chedisme]

step 1: collect underpants

step 2: ?

step 3: profit!
