Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Tanks were left overs from some compressor company good upto 250 psi. Thanks for the pan heater info. I think I'll run both as well. I re calculated my gearing ratios for the driveline and with 4:10 axles and the under drive / t case combo I'm planning I'll be able to crawl at ~300:1 in low low I sa...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Not much to report, got layed off and been Doing renos to the house to try and sell by march. I scored a bunch of these stainless steel 3 gallon tanks cheap. Figure they will work great for on board air setup. Also traded my buddy 2 of the tanks to use in a hotrod airbag setup in exchange for these ...

Re: Low Pressure Air Gauges

I was browsing at the local Canadian tire and discovered a Atv gauge that claimed 0-8.9 psi on the package. It was pretty slick and small with a carabiner hook built into it to clip on a bag or somthing. I think it was about 25$ . Forgot the brand but I can look next time I'm there.

Hmm going to have to do more research but that's basically the only kind we get here, except for when it's melting in spring

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Hey jeep84 nice to see a neighbor on here :beer: Thanks for the advise, I did pick up a new block heater on sale 25 bucks and probably will get the pan heater too. Got my harness and PCM tuned and back in the mail today. It looks clean and headache free. The block has been cleaned and checks out fre...

Re: 1987 4runner SAS

Nice clean yota for how old she is. How do you find the 35" tires, big enough? I hunted down a York ac compressor. Me thinks it's the only way to go as far as oba. Almost like a factory fit and finish bolted up to the motor. My plan is to make some aluminum tanks tucked in the running boards or...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

the kind that you plug into a 120v outlet. I guess if I'm starting the engine in the winter then yes I should re install it.

here's a cool oil pan heater I came across. just rtv'd right to the bottom of the oil pan for better lubrication upon start up in cold weather. same idea 120v plug

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

going to drop off the block today at the machine shop. decided to just rebuild it stock and clean it up. the cam and parts I needed cam to a total of 1200.00 , I just couldn't justify that for the engine build alone... esp since the motor only had 75,000 miles on it. it did have some leaking gaskets...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Not much progress has physically been made, but I scoped out the guys I need to reprogram the PCM and trim the fat from the wiring harness. PCMforless.com and jimsperformance seem to know their stuff and at a good price too. I'll send the harness off next week. I've got an odd ball engine so I have ...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Thanks for the input ebsteve & nobody I do prefer the look of a short jeep with a good stretch and comp cut wheel wells. Maybe 6" back and 2" forward. I'd like to get in the magic 100" mark. It's about 95" now stock roughly. I heard links sort of drive the tire downward into ...

Re: Fubars snow jeep build

Yes I've seen snowbatman and the jantz guy with the big red jeep on YouTube. Those were sort of my original inspiration. I was going to build a jeep regardless, but I figured I'm a winter person and a snow jeep fits the bill. I hear you with the weight of the axles as I don't have many buddies in th...

Shop press for the jeep build

I made a press 36" wide for the garage. 50 ton air/hyd so should be capable of bending brackets and sheet when I need it.

Not totally snow wheeling related but it will be used for the jeep build
