Hello....i'm An Addict And This Is My 6!

Well, after watching and following Norcal and what he did on Steve's, based on the RR springs, I followed his lead. Thanks NorCal! I was only able to work on it for a few hours a week, for the most part. Lots of health issue with my parents...they are doing better now.

As you can see It is now a much better set up.

Thanks again to NorCal for the tutorial, I never would have tried this a year ago.



Front before



After
I will be running the same boomarang shackles, just waiting on Ruff Stuff.

 

Now do I recycle the front bumper? Trimmed or start from scratch?

 

That thing looks heavy, but for the most part, steel is steel . Trim it down

 

Oh, it is a beast for sure. I was going to do some serious trimming. Just trimming, narrowing to just past the horns should drop off 30lbs!

 

While patching holes in my dash, I got to looking at the bumper....I kind of like the look. It will drop between 25-30lbs.

 

Throw it on a scale, I'm interested if it will be that much

 

Me Thinks that with the larger tires, if you cut it that short , it'll kinda look like a Dictator's mustache . You can always take off more.......A lot more work to add it back on ?

 

Being that it is half inch, it is a biotch to cut!

 

Smoke wrench and a clamped piece of angle for a straight edge. Easy 30lbs.

 

I didn't realize it was a half inch, I would trim it down to a G-string bikini then put a light skirt over it to appease the law.

 

Did a little flex test...I am happy.





Also, my distributor came in...

 

The jeep is looking great!

 

Steering column showed up today.

Was going to mount the new radiator, well, that will need a little frame massaging to get it to work. But hey, it's fun!

 

My cousin came into town for a week, so didn't get much done on the 6. Did get some work done on getting a steering column mount made, ain't real pretty but it will work.

 

It has been slow progress, lots going on this time of year.




And got the fuel tank primed.

 

New shoes for the old grey mule.

 

Nice motivational therapy.

 

What size tires did you end up with? I can't see the markings in the pictures

 

33x10.50

Got the sliders on, thanks Kyle!

 

I got the sliders primed, just so I don't have to deal with rust. Still have a couple of holes to drill before I paint.
