Well its time to do some upgrades and fixing.  Went out to Gordons for easter and wrecked the front a little.  Broke driver side knuckle, both motor mounts, dented driver header pretty bad, snapped pass. shock shaft, pretzeled and snapped the driveshaft, and debeaded both tires

That really sucks Andrew! Buuuuut that's the price we pay to play. punk Start the Rebuild thread right after the build thread. Dont forget to post up on the wanted section for that 44 knuckle.

Was going around a big bowl,  got third gear for a little, than coming out of the bowl hit a huge hole.  Had just enough time for brakes and to brace for impact.  Launched us a good 20 ft.  Thought i was going end over end.  Glad i had 5 pt harnesses at that point

I gotta get pics up but fixed the knuckle and motor mounts.  Was driving it the other day and my transfer case decided to go boom, so now I have to rebuild it(two gears sheared some teeth)

Woah been awhile since i've updated this thread.  Have a new long travel front driveshaft.  Not cheap but very beefy and cycles 11", so it works real good for my shackle reversal.   Just finished making new motor mounts because my old factory ones kept breaking.  And last trip at glamis i developed an ignition problem.  Replaced cap and rotor because the old cap was cracked and thought it was carbon tracking.  Nothing..  Replaced plugs, wires nothing...  Than rebuilt carb because it looked a lil dirty inside  still had no power over 3k rpm.  Checked timing and everything. nothing.  noticed the lifters bleed of real fast.  can crank engine and the rockers are flat within 2 mins, but has good oil pressure and lifters and rockers all move.

Found out after changing the coil that it was the problem!!  Stupid MSD coil cost me a gordons well trip on thanksgiving weekend.  But all is well now

Checked timing again.  10* initial and 39* at full advance.  Took it for a test drive.  Doesn't ping and runs strong through 5500 rpm.  


Motor mounts in process



Rebuilt, jetted, accel pump cam change, and secondary spring changed.

Pass motor mount

The damn culprit

Driver motor mount

All dirty and ready to go.  Put the windshield sticker on awhile ago also



Going out to Superstition for new years.  Hopefully can meet up with some people and do some wheeling
