GOTMTNS 2 Posted September 5, 2015 Still waiting on the engine to get back from the shop, had delays due to wrong parts from vendors. Transmissiin is completely rebuilt, Durango gear box and a new pitman arm installed, brakes flushed and some repairs made, hopefully ebrake fixed this weekend. Thank God for great neighbors who are working on her even while I am at work, have caught a lot of stuff missed by the shop and there have been some real head shakers we have found. Hopefully have her fired up and knocking miles off the break in period in the next two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GOTMTNS 2 Posted April 25, 2016 With not having internet service at my new camp I have really been slacking on doing updates, home time has been very little and busy the last 6 months. I promise to do some updates this summer while the temps are high and the AC feels good, lol. Engine reinstall went fairly smooth, a couple kinks but we got her roaring and through the break in period. She has tons more power and the old school muscle car lope, she was always a head turner but now she really draws the attention. After the the engine and tranny work Bill and I dove into the cargo area build and finally finishing wiring all the lighting, interior is probably 90% or better done. She is heading to FlyNHi this week to get custom rear springs, rooftop tent mount fabbed, rear track bar relocated and suspension tuning. Some quick teasers.

GOTMTNS 2 Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks, wait till you hear her. Yeah I have disappeared from most of the boards since I can't play on my down time at work, but hoping to get back into things as the Jeep is almost trail worthy again. Miss everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GOTMTNS 2 Posted April 30, 2016 Looks good! Any details on the interior? Interior has a lot of custom wood work, aluminum work, wiring, etc, etc. lol. Cage is RockHard modified for a Niner. Center switch panel full custom aluminum and wood. Custom built interior winch controls. Upper blue LED all custom. CB and HAM mount custom. Rear cargo area: All mounted to a wood deck secured through the body. Two craftsman fender boxes. Aluminum battery box. Aluminum switch box, modified. Axle and fluid storage box all custom made and hinged. Top of axle box is all custom drilled aluminum tie down system. Puma Air compressor modified to fit in smaller area, now two piece. Upper custom wood deck to mount max axe, saw, possible sub and random tools. Fire extinguisher mount uses previous spare tire bump pad location. Heavy duty power inverter. Storage for side table made out of heavy duty cutting board. And I know I am forgetting some. Need to get all my facebook posts and pictures together to do a full write up.

GOTMTNS 2 Posted April 30, 2016 There is going to be a change of plans for some of the rear work, lets just say I hate shops that don't keep in touch or return calls. My money goes to those who treat their customers right. But on the plus side I will be going to adjustable ADS shocks, next time home should be great.
