AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops"

Agreed, this is why I love EBAY. Most people refer it as "fleabay" but hey, buyers protection speeks volumes.

But, not everyone is as honest as you are. Sellers stand to lose their asses because they have no protection.

All the buyer protection says is that we're all paying to support thieves through higher fees.

I'm not anti-Ebay. Hell, I've used it myself, but I wouldn't be a seller and I'm damn careful about what I buy and who I buy it from.

[stelerzman]

So true, I've had great luck with ebay. Very little issues.

I may have found an MIP uni replacement part to get her up and running for Sunday. I haven't tried to install just yet, but will give it a go tomorrow. We'll see, and I'll lyk.

[stelerzman]

Nope, it doesn't fit. So I have to assume that it's not an MIP part. It looks right, but won't work.

I did manage to grind a flat spot on the shaft to get me through, just until I get the MIP.

[stelerzman]

So happy, I finally got the MIP shafts in. Now I can finish up the drive line.

Finished reading your thread last night. Killer build and can't wait for the driving video.

I planned on using the SSD Centered Axle. How do you like it?

Thanks, I can't wait to get a good run going to test everything out. I really like the SSD housing, everything is spot on. Clean and smooth.

I may get some video this weekend.

Well, yesterday was a great. I was able to run the jeep for a good clip, not sure exactly how long but it was fun. I temped the motor after the run and she was way too hot, 200°. I thought I had everything sorted out with the gearing, looks like I have to keep gearing it down. Currently, I'm at 6:1

We got video of our run. It was so much fun to drive these rigs. I'll transfer the video to youtube then post a link .

[stelerzman]

I only got 3 pic's because I was having way to much fun driving.

Looks great. Nice articulation and looks planted. Looking forward to the video.

IT LIVES!!!

[stelerzman]

Thanks guy's. I'm working on the video's, but need to update my old ASS laptop. First was the VLC media player, then the video editing software. This is what I'm waiting on now. It's been a year or 2 sence my last video, so updates are needed.

Hopefully, I'll get a video made very soon.

[stelerzman]

GRRRRRRR.
WTF, I've updated 5 files and softwares and still my dumb ass L/T Is looking for more.

[stelerzman]

Videos are uploading now.

[stelerzman]

FYI, my updates are an epic failure. I wasn't able to edit any of the raw footage at all. extremely BUMMED, but hey, I got to drive her and had a lot of fun.

Here is the first video with Mudbeast2 along for the ride.

Once there all done I'll embed them to make it much easier to watch. Enjoy, and please, Post your comments, suggestions and idea's.

[stelerzman]

Thank You COMCAST.

Unedited video# 1

Video #3





I know there short video's, but when we sort everything out we'll be able to get some epic footage.
We both have much more work to do to each of them, this is just the beginning.

Hope you all like.

End all of your future frustrations and get a Vimeo account. It's free, and they won't bust yer balls over a sound track.

Congrats on getting it running. The high temps are something to track down. I personally had (2) issues on my Jerp in regards to running hot.
(1)- no under the hood venting. (2)- no aux. cooling fan. Once I added the fan on front of the grill, all of my over heating issues went away.

I'd still point a suspicious eye at your t-case and overall gearing, but maybe you can make it work.

Nice to see it out in the rocks! It's looking great. I'm almost finished with mine, it's test will be Axialfest. I agree with BigSki, I use Vimeo also. I just paid for the year subscription and WOW! Uploads huge movie files immediately! No more waiting 45 mins here.
