That Green CJ7

[Jeff]

Not much traffic here so figured I'd post something since I'm "done". Just info and some pics, not a major change but after spending all day at Windrock yesterday it feels well worth it. And I still really don't have much in it. I'm going to refer to it as a build, though its typical and spread out over a pretty long period of time.

The Start, Un-Molested (Sorta)


After 2.5" Lift w/ 31x10.50



Major stuff changed since:
- 2.5" lift
- Replaced T-150 with a Ford NP435
- AMC20 replaced with Dana 44 w/ 3.73 gears & matching set for front.
- Had both heads worked on to fix cracked valve, repainted some of the motor, removed wiring harness and cleaned up what I could of the wiring, cleaned up engine bay. New battery tray, removed fenders, moved solenoid & ignition module to firewall, replaced steering gearbox.
- Front end gears installed to match rear w/ Yukon Spartan locker.
- Rear Spartan Locker
- Greaseable HD shackles
- New front driveshaft
- Spidertrax Wheel Spacers
- 33x12.50 Dunlop M/Ts










Have not really got to do anything real challenging yet. It was pretty much a ride to test if its going to fall apart. Lots of 2H driving on the trails we did.

Still have a Warn 8274 winch to mount, some F350 shock towers on the front with new shocks, and add the front fenders and trim up.

Looking good Jeff. I'm glad you're out having some fun with it.

Looks great! Those front fenders will be good to keep the mud out of the engine bay.

[Jeff]

Looks more like a jeep now.

Don't worry, it didn't last but a few hours. Winch is mounted, but not completely hooked up yet.

[ivbeenrokd]

you going to throw some tubing on them too?

[Jeff]

Eventually it would be nice.

[Johnsey]

uhh....where's the fairlead?? kinda important ya know....

[Jeff]

I got it with the rope on and have to take it off to put the fair-lead on. Which the goal of the other night was just to get it mounted, I'll do that later.

[Johnsey]

ahh...cool, i just didn't want ya to destroy the rope first time out...or maybe i should say, the first time you use it.
