Thanks, that is what I was sort of thinking would be reasonable at this point. The motor is out on a stand now. Not a biggie if I don't get it...
It's been a long time since I've been at it with the CJ5 project. I have not given up but rather been distracted with my 99 TJ and upgrading that...
After I posted today, I popped onto CL and believe it or not I found a borg-warner T-19. I picked it up for $60. It was behind an IH 6.9L diesel...
Thanks guys. Been reading like a fiend on advance adapters and the novak sites to understand the set ups. The T18's seem to be a bit rare to...
I wanted to add one more option to get folks to chime in about. What about a Ford 302 (older 70's model). I have one of those sitting in my...
Sounds exactly like what I'd like to do. Got any pics to post up on how it turned out?
No progress to report, but I need some thoughts on planning ahead. As this project has aged and so has my thinking, I don't want to put my 232...
Been reading all afternoon about this axle width thing. Seems it might just be the way it's supposed to be. I read that the 72 D30 has a WMS to...
OK, dumb question time. I just was standing back looking at the chassis now that I actually have 4 wheels on it. The front looked wider than...
Got my front hubs in place finally. I decided to go with my orignal lock outs, the warn lock-o-matics. They just looked sturdier than the...
Yeah, I can't even begin to count the rolls of paper towels I have ****ed away on this front axle. My wife is not all too happy with that...
Installed the new rotors onto the hubs. New lug studs. [IMG] Shop press is probably the best tool I ever bought. When you need it...
Reassembly continued.... I got everything painted up for the knuckles outward. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] Popped in new spicer...
Hm, that is totally different than what I have. My spring stud is quite large compared to what I think I am seeing in that pic. I understand...
I rented a ball joint press from autozone. Popped out the old BJ's from the donor knuckles. Went smoothly with the right tool. [IMG] [IMG]...
So in the name of a little progress here is an short update. I decided to install the partially assembled axle onto the springs and frame as...
Thanks. Just to take this a bit further and make sure I have a correct assembly or understanding. These sit on top of the spring and directly...
I suspected that. Well, I just put it together without them. We'll have to see if I have any vibes. Seems so much more solid without them as...
Reassembling the D30 onto the springs. I have a QUESTION. Originally when I tore it down, there were spacers under the axle perches between the...
Few and far between. Even less so for a YJ and TJ's are unheard of. The only place I have seen CJ's are a place called Autocycle in Danville Va....
