Re: Fubars snow jeep build

That's what I figured really stiff. I have a pretty heavy drive train and axles... Maybe if I drive them around with 5 psi in the neighborhood for a week they will soften up. I'm thinking they may not "bag out" when aired down as much but the shear size will still be benefitial. And they a...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

I'm looking at tires lately, since I will be building this thing mainly to accommodate large tires, axles and low gearing. I don't want a jacked up Florida mud truck look either, so I am going to be cutting metal... lots of it. Does anyone have an opinion about the military take offs? The price poin...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Loaded the jeep up on a trailer and hauled it off to sand blast yesterday morning. There was way more bondo and filler on the rear half than I expected. It looks like this thing rolled off a cliff. Oh well what can you do. The door jams (jambs?) , door bottoms, windshield, cowl and firewall are all ...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Got the bottom half of the engine wrapped up. Custom windage screen, new oil pump, gaskets, pan and timing set. Also slid in a block heater while i had nice access. Will be ordering engine quest heads, because it is cheaper than re-furbing my existing ones. Canada's crazy like that. ...just got to w...

Any predictions for snow this year? The last few have been disappointing.

Re: Snow Wheeling Weight Distribution

I doubt it would help because the rear wheels are following in the front wheels path so they would be down in the rut in line with the front wheels ... no?

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Not much to report lately. Got the engine back from machining assembled as a short block. It took forever because I only threw money at it when I had it. Started collecting pieces for my doubler and mocking up. Going to be an np241/205 all 32 spline. Final ratio low low will be about 170:1 The tail ...

Jan 10/15 Powerface Trail Alberta

I just got back from my first snowshoeing hike ever. It was a really good time. Left the truck at about 11:30 and reached 8km mark by 2:30, then decided to head back down. I didn't want to go too nuts since it was just me and my dog and it was my first go. Originally I found this road that closed de...
