My bad, didnt get an email about this. Im just going to santa clara, but moving is always a good time to get rid of the crap in the garage. Ill pm you

Aaand Im moving. So the doors or wheel are free if anyone wants them.

Made a set of rear half doors and now I dont think Ill ever use them. These took a long time to make. The hinges are not quite done, depending on the year of your jeep they will need some modification, or make some new ones. Looking to get $100 for these. Local pickup in campbell/san jose...

Have you had any issues welding outside? If I have 2 doors open in my garage any small breeze will blow away the shielding gas and give me garbage welds

Got some more randoms that might be interesting to you guys. Starting with the most random, like this FC I saw on the freeway. Or this zj on treads. Ran the rubicon in a day in a last minute planned trip over haloween. A huge windstorm had ripped through a few days prior and...

For the winch I installed the control box next to the fuse block, and then ran in-cab controls. I added a few led strips above the spool, so when the winch is armed, the lights shine on the rope and help you see how its spooling. But I need to make them a little brighter. Finished: I had...

It is removable, but adding spacers between the plates and the frame would have saved me from having to install it with a mallet. It was much easier to fully weld off the jeep. I notched a square hole in the front of the bumper and the shackle mounts are plug welded on the back side...

This is when I decided Id try and add some tube around the engine/rad, but I wanted to keep it all underneath the fenders. The clearances are so tight Im pretty sure this would only work with 1.5in tube. I tied the inner fender into the tube as well, I just dont have pics of that. The tube...

After seeing how well my smaller rear bumper worked, I started scheming ideas for how I could rebuild my front bumper to be high clearance and lightweight. This ended up taking much longer than I anticipated but I also added more tubes than I originally planned. Guess it didnt matter since this...

The green cj stalled while trying to climb that ledge. Without taking it out of gear he just turned over the starter and it kept crawling. I dont think the gearing is low enough for the engine to start like some of the toyota guys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmQHzzf7VCM

Made some upgrades: Beef'd up the electrical by adding new wires in the engine bay, swapped the fuseable link for a real fuse. Put in a zj alternator, the bracket just needs a little trimming Finally worked on the front suspension. Added better bumpstops. So far these are working pretty...

OK some more wheelin' shots from a year or more ago. Did a trip thru Fordyce Also I got this high clearance bumper installed, and finally I dont hit the rear bumper on every rock. But I have to carry the tire in the backseat right now which is not ideal. Sent WH1 Using the starter...

Few random updates as I try and get caught up with where the build is now. I was having issues with a rough idle. Turned out to be the IAC valve. It just needed a quick cleaning, once it was back in it idled smoothly. Decided to make a cabinet for a 10" sub that tucks into the passenger side...

With the pandemic happening Im guessing I wont make it to Reno this year. But I can finally post some pics from last year. Started out by battling bay area traffic. Tried taking Calaveras as it had just reopened, was a lot of fun for me, but not a good towing road. Somehow this pair of...

Having gone through this on a few d44 jeeps recently Id highly recommend making sure youve got everything planned out before buying/fabing/welding a bunch of stuff. Another note that I just thought of, I was a blindsided by the fact that the d44 pinion is ~2inches longer than the d30. For the...
