Project: Jeep

[CJ7on33's]

Well to start off i just bought a 1984 CJ7 Jeep. It has a 4 speed tranny with a straight 6, 33 in yokohama mud tires of some sort, a bikini top runs good. no pics yet because its dark. will have them tomorrow. i cant wait to start working on it. i think first im just going to do a soft top or hard top i dont know which yet

[wolfpack]

[Blanco]

I personally have always Loved the CJ Bodys best! :awesome_dude:

[Manny]

Very cool congrats on your score glad you got a respectable rig to me a cj is okay. my uncle had one with a 360 amc motor in it that was bad.

[CJ7on33's]

hee pic of my jeep

[CJ7on33's]

it was an older guy who trains the fbi that had it before me but when i turn the steeing wheel im hearing a popping noise any ideas what it might be?

[Manny]

All kinds of thoughts on what it might be how hard is it cut all the way or just any distance by the way nice rig me likey.:cheers:

[Couch Slouch]

That thing is clean!Good score...I gotta say though those chrome bumpers are a little too much...

[Blanco]

:awesome_dude: But those Bumper Gotta go! :m2c: Makes it look like a Mall Crawler!

[wolfpack]

[Manny]

Hey there chevyman if you talk real sweet to your freind manny i know were there is a freshly built 304 4bbl engine hooked to a four speed in a jeep truck the truck got vandalized after my buddy had a flat on some no name road, but the motor is great, Built by tim gaines (The chevy MAN in west ga) it's right ported polished heads balanced and blueprinted cast iron four barrel int with holley 600 complete evrything with powersteering and all. I know my buddy is thinking about getting rid of the truck so you want me to inquire. Motor has prob 50k on it:cheers:

[CJ7on33's]

yeah im thinking the chrome needs to go and get bigger offroad bumpers, i want some help with this one because its going to my first big project i can actually afford, but that motor sounds great let me know how much and i'll start saving for it but i want to get a CB and a radio of it because it doesnt have one right now

[Blanco]

Those straight 6 cyl's in those have a great rep. :cool:

[CJ7on33's]

i know i got the oil and all that shiat changed today

[Manny]

Those straight 6 cyl's in those have a great rep. :cool:

They are good just the carb's sucked. However i like and old cj with a v-8 headers and banana pipes down the sides so it crackles a little:cheers:

[CJ7on33's]

what kind of axles do you think are under it?

[Manny]

The rear is a amc 20 you need to put one piece axles in it since they are a major weak link. The front is gonna be a dana 35 or a 44 i don't remember which.

[Manny]

How about clicky clicky

http://www.warn.com/truck/axles/full_float_axles.shtml

One solution to handle the amc 20

[CJ7on33's]

the front is small so probably a d35

i like this bumper but i need to find out how much i can get from the chrome ones first

[Blanco]

Yeah I like that bumper better too.
But I'm partial to Stinger bumpers..

Our TWW Member Mike Duncan is a Jeep specialist.
Even tho he's not logged in for a while He might be a good source for info. :shrug:

[CJ7on33's]

well if i take all the chrome parts off the jeep i just priced ones that look similar to whats on it and it has about 750 dollars of chrome on it keeping the wheels though

[Blanco]

Sell the chrome to help fund your other parts! :cheers:

[CJ7on33's]

if i was in so cal i'd just ask you to help me get custom ones but i dont know anyone around here who fabs and i dont have the tools or resources

[CJ7on33's]

what do you think of these for? would it give me any extra lift? i have seen them used on spike tv's 4x4tv or what ever that show was.

http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.aspx?cid=17&sid=207&pid=7254

and a suspension lift like this one

[Blanco]

Start making new friends..
When you see people with cool custom stuff you like become their friend..
& maybe they can hook you up. :cheers:

Jeepers tend to be a Tight Group.

[Manny]

the front is small so probably a d35


Yeah i would prb agree with that. Cool glad to see you already getting excited bout this rig.

[Manny]

hmmm Jeep made a D35 front?


the D35 to my knowledge was a rear axle.. the front was either D30 or D44


Best i know they did:)

[79F150]

Jeeps also used a D44 rear axle...Here is a guide to identify axles but you have to click the image twice for it to get to a readable size.

[97F250HD Dude]

i agree with 87BIIXLT4X4
as far as i know jeep only has a dana 35 rear axle. it's either a dana 30 or 44 in the front, unless someone swapped something else in.

[Manny]

Cool i'll trust ya'll i'm mainly ford so i could easily be wrong:)

[CJ7on33's]

i dont know i just know its small so it might be a d30 pretty sure its not a d44

[CJ7on33's]

well i'm going to upgrade to warn superior locking hubs and either a rough country or skyjacker 4 in lift

[CJ7on33's]

well i think i'm going to remove the rear seat of the jeep so i can use that space for tools once i get around to making this a weekend warrior

[RocZuk]

Some Cherokees and alot of CJ's had either Model 20 or D44 rears and fronts all the way from almost the beginning to present if D35 front excluding some D44 fronts and the New Jeeps with a D44 that really isn't (it's still as week as a D35)

[CJ7on33's]

well i popped the jeeps cherry today. I was pissed so i took it down a service road..found two little mud holes go stuck in one in only 2WD put it 4 hi and made it out fine pics later

[Blanco]

[CJ7on33's]

[Blanco]

[CJ7on33's]

[Blanco]

[CJ7on33's]

[Blanco]

[CJ7on33's]

[CJ7on33's]

[CJ7on33's]

[Big Wurmb]

[CJ7on33's]

Dad told me last night it has a full tank of gas and its sitting in the barn. John you need go over and drive it around the field some and make sure the mice dont eat the wiring. and built nest in my engine.

[Blanco]

and make sure the mice dont eat the wiring. and built nest in my engine.
I remember I had mice living in my mustang once.
They torn away at some insulation to make a nest & use the top of my air filter as their toilet. :rolleyes:

[CJ7on33's]

yeah and i live out in the country so mice are prolly way worst. I hope it doesnt happen because that will be bad. and prolly make me madder than hell. but i do hope one day to drop a V8 in it. I found a cobra jet 428 for like 3000 on ebay. couldnt justify buying though

[CJ7on33's]

Well guys my jeep is still sitting in Missouri and I'm sitting in Bahrain.

[es2150]

front is a d30 and can hold up good to 33. post above is right about 1 pc rear axles. look for some junk yard spares for the front and have fun. The noise your hearing in column is a simple fix. There is a bearing in the front of the column, open the hood look inside and look for a clip on the very front of column. It has grooves and a wire clip, that holds the plastic type bushing/ bearing in place. Go thru crown or 4wd hardware pick one up. Dont go overkill just play and cross your fingers unless you are going extreme stuff you will be fine. guaranteed you will be so much happier down the road and your wallet will be too.:)
