Project Dirty Girl resurrection.
« on: 05/29/10 - 08:32PM »
I bought a new to me YJ yesterday.  Some members have already seen pics etc but I thought I'd make a thread.  I can't really call it a build thread since it's been built at least 3 times prior.

Pics to come this evening.

Specs:
91 YJ 4.0 AX15 NP231 with SYE.

Front:  79 Ford Dana 60, 5.13's, spartan locker, high steer, GLO diff cover, PSC hydro assist, Warn lockouts, 3/4 ton chevy brake conversion (clears 15" wheels).

Rear: 79 Ford Dana 60 5.13's Spool, disc conversion.

Suspension:  SOA with RE SOA springs, conferr shackles, long travel shocks with tube mounts.

8000K Superwinch on custom front bumper & GHETTO STINGER (to be replaced).

If you can't figure out why the project name then I have no hope for you.

I washed while on the trailer and took about 60lbs of mud off the skid plate.  The only areas not packed solid were where the driveshafts were.  So why buy this thing you ask... easy I couldn't build the axles, tires, and wheels for what I gave for it.


Plans:
  Fix body damage with full corners, body hammers, and some filler.  Then spray with a more eye catching color.
  Need a new windshield and frame
  Plan to swap 37" boggers for 39+ something.

YAYA.

TOday got the front bumper cleaned up and now it's all black.  Also swapped to a new roller fairlead.




Ordering these for corners later this evening.  Normally I buy BTF but for $204 for full corners I'm going to give them a shot and will plasma them to comp corners when I stretch it.

Got the old Poison Spyder short corners off and headed for the freebie/scrap pile. 

The pile of dirt came from the rear corners and tailgate.  Can't believe this thing is so muddy and yet rust free.

Nope.  This one is probably going to get minimal body work to make it look ok down the road and a single stage paint job.  I still plan to wheel it and with the group up here that means beat on it.  Just needs to start a bit nicer.

Here is the bosses work in progress (what I have to run with when done).  Not bad for a tub and frame we drug out of the field 2 or 3 weeks ago.

46" claws on 15x14 wheels+ DIY beadlock.

My garage isn't the black hole of electricity!  Worst case I do have at least 1 if not 2.

Rig is coming farther apart.  So far seats and a lot of interior is out and way more mud removed.  Planning to herculine the floor before I reassemble. 

Rear seat was welded in.  WHO DOES THAT?

Sold the tires & wheels off the jeep so now I'm in need of something bigger.
