I picked up this arcdroid about a year ago, i need to get better with it. Ive used it to make a few brackets and odds and ends. Eventually ill make a better table. For making small parts though the ability to trace them is pretty nice. I couldnt cut it out as cleanly no matter how much i try. i...

Its around 3k iirc. We usually take 3 atvs to colorado which should weight about as much as this jeep or a bit more. Curb weight on a cj7 is just over 2500lbs. Id wager the flattie tub weighs less than the cj tub. The biggest concern is legenth

Im making it up as i go. Ive watched probably more hours of powerblock and other various shows.... probably have a master degree in cobbling at this point. Plus this is a bit simpler to stretch than my tj which i plan to do at some point. If this goes horribly wrong i have almost nothing...

Me crunching numbers is why it dosent yet have a automatic. Im on the hunt for either a 4x4 turbo 350 or tf999. Also looking for a dana 300. Depending on the trans i find Depends on the final motor. For the moment the 304 and 3 spd will make the project a running driving project.

She was upset at 3 jeeps a few weeks ago. Then once i had 2 disassembled, scrapped and parts sold i had less than 2 jeeps technically. Now im almost back to 2 jeeps a tj and a johnny cash jeep

With the body mostly done and the frame mostly done i had been worried that it might not fit like i had originally planned. So i was at the point where i set the body on the frame to get body mounts built and piece the rest of the floor together. Im going to have to raise the body due to some...

Shortened the frame 9" in the middle to achieve a total legenth of 11 ft. The frame had almost a perfect spot in the middle that made it some what easy. The frame on the cj7 was 2 pieces of channel welded together the easiest way i could come up with was to use the closet size rectangle tubing...

Flipped up the body tub to adress the bracing that was rotten and some that i had removed or mangled. Ended up using some unistrut in place of the proper hat channel. The unistrut is about the same gauge as the original hat channel and about the same size. Also cut the lip off under the sides by...

Started chopping up the body to strech the front 4" and the rear 3.5". Had to cut out more floor that i had anticipated

Some progress made. Removed the body and the frame. Sold the frame and original drivetrain

The wife wanted a lifted gas powered golf cart for the beach but how cool is a golf cart? So after some time spent pondering i came up with a plan. I will take a cj3a and build a beach jeep that will fit in my toyhauler. I sourced a 1953 cj3a first that was complete. Got it home, got it to run...

So i want speakers in the door. I will put a set in my half doors as well as my full doors. The half doors should be much more simple with no window but the full doors will be where i start this project. Today i was trying to decide what material id start with, ive watched a few hours of...

Simply put i need some lug nuts the oem looking ones seem to have a flimsy sheet metal over them. Looking for solid lugnuts with normal hex bodies. I have black wheels but could care less about paying more to have black lugnuts.

On the front axle shafts i have 2 sets of axles. One set is just run of the mill tj stuff. The other is also tj axles but have had plates installed to keep the ujoint caps from falling out. Is there any benifit to this or does it cause issues? Im in the process of combining 3 different dana 30...

Looking at these control arms does anyone have input on them? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134203872020?mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5337789113&toolid=20001&mkevt=1
