needs 2.2 stompers? for the added height

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-06-2007, 09:54 PM

stang im gonna use swamp dawgs, an ode to the fj, and per rydes request. i like the look of them and it really isnt gonna be a crawler, more of a trailrig if you will.its gonna be way to heavy and tipsy to crawl much.

BTW i did the skid, i used a bruiser crossmember and some plates made from galvanized 20 ga sheet metal. also i bent some tailpipes for the V8

now i just need to make some flowmasters.

I like it,but would love to see leaf springs.I've been looking for something military to build and joejeep lloks cool

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-10-2007, 02:10 AM

i got it running!!! the gearing is way off though, it'll never make it up a trail, the motor cogs at every start up. it might have something to do with the fact that im running my Revolver program???? i dont know, but it is fast as hell. i have a 14t 48p at the gd, im gonna try a 12 tooth, if that doesnt work, in goes the pull master.the steering worked out pretty well too. ill post pics later.

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-11-2007, 10:42 AM

more to come...

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-11-2007, 08:41 PM

im gonna try an ax-10 tranny in it instead JRH told me that the reduction should be much better........we shall see. thanks hasakaya holmes

JohnRobHolmes · 12-11-2007, 09:22 PM

Yur welcome! That cage is slick. I'm gonna have to buy this from you when you are bored with it

More reduction will certainly solve your woes. What do you have now, like 15:1 or something?

something like that, its good for drag racing or maybe frying electronics.

if i do, you gots dibs.

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-12-2007, 09:07 AM

lil update, i got an r2 under the hood-then to WK t-case.

i think the gearing is waaaay to low now. but some voltage should fix that right up!

JohnRobHolmes · 12-12-2007, 10:29 AM

Put a big ole pinion in there, like a 16t. Then the 2:1 transfer will balance it right out.

So MG, how'd you like Hawaii? I heard you met up with Y_V..............

malibu 81 · 12-13-2007, 05:21 AM

nice work, can't wait too see more.

YoUnG_vErSiOn · 12-17-2007, 03:06 AM

Update: scored a set of stompers from 808crawler(thanks again cockroach) mounted up on the scorch wheels w/tcs rockrings. added a few detail items. pics later, no mem card.

1BadJeepBruiser · 12-17-2007, 08:21 AM

This thing is ballin, nice use of a Bruiser cross member, I got like 8 of those in the basement

Now that looks good! I like the shock mount too. I do think the black wheels you have sitting next to the Jeep in the last picture would look better on it though.

You guys in the 808 are spoiled

Between the weather, and the traction you get on those lava rocks, y'all got it good. But you can keep the traffic.

Kila showed me the sights, yeah. And gave me some fashion advice.
