well dear reader you may or may not remeber i rolled my 72 wag on wildcat waterfall at boulder creek offroad in marble falls tx
we kicked around tubing it out and dimissed that when a bud gave me a 76 cj5 for free....that could be awesome with my whole waggy drivetrain in it right?
so i get out to the shop with the waggy on tues and everybody loves the waggy of course ppl always do but.... they start talkin about how cool it would be topless and caged and a bit taller.....
so we decided to go ahead and cut the top off and see what it looks like...the scrap yard will take it in several pieces just like they'll take it whole right?
so i cut the top off and i'm sold... the cj's for sale:D
the plan for now is full choromoly shafts in the front since we broke both front ujoints and trashed the outers
i already found a full set of superior chromo shafts for $420 and a buddy of mine gave me a used set of ctm's they just need new caps
we're debating on converting to 8 lug all the way around with chevy front rotors and moser shafts in the rear so i can run 8lug wheels i already have in preperation for 1tons
either way we go with the wheel bolt pattern tires for now will be 37" wrangler mtr hummer tires
in the rear for now we're going to run stockish springs from an 80 j10
i got for free but under the frame rails and trimming the frame and rear of the waggy up so the rear spring hanger will be on the back of the bumper like a baby jeep the rears trashed now anyway and we're hopin to link the rear a little later on the rear suspension will be done sometime today
the front will be spring over on 80 j10 stockish springs with high steer i need to order the tad perches....ah the shackles will be reversed too
and to wrap this up tbi...i have the throttle body just gotta hit pick and pull for a pump and wiring
and the cage...not sure what it'll look like but it'll be bombproof
one last thing...until i figure out how to get back into my photobucket a myspace link will have to suffice for pics it's under waggy:D
