builds looking good glad to see some one becoming a gearhead... there dont seem to be to many anymore...

Thanks for kind words!  I still have lots to learn and lots to do to my rig, but I am enjoying every minute of it!  Just can't wait to get out on the trails again.

So once again I went on a parts buying spree!  With little to no time to do any tare down, build up, repair, etc, buying things gives me the fix I need.  However, with the Holidays around the corner and some days off work I hope to get a few, and if things go well, everything compelted!

Here's the List ;

Dana 35;
- Install new Pinion Seal
- Clean, POR 15 & spray paint flat black
- Overhaul Brakes (new shoes, rotors, cylinder, springs, etc.)
- Drill out CA mounts for the Currie JJ CAs
- Clean up and possibly spray paint sway bar, links and Track Bar, then reinstall
- New U-joints for the drive-shaft

Dana 30;
- Install new Pinion Seal
- Clean, POR 15 & spray paint flat black - Completed
- Install new upper CA arm bushings
- Install ZJ V8 Tie Rod
- Overhaul brakes, new rotors, pads & extended brake lines from Crown.
- New U-joints for the axles shafts and drive shaft

Armor;
-Sliders are all painted just waiting on a custom decal to protect the body from metal-on-metal contact.  Also can't find phillips truss head screws... >:( Anyone know where I can get these?

Then once all that boring, yet neccessary, stuff is completed it will be time to get the jeep on on axle stands and tear out the current axles and suspension, replacing with the new-to-me axles and gorgeous new suspension components from OME and CURRIE!

Nothing to crazy "build-wise" but I can't wait to get to work!

Oh and hopefully Santa will bring me a sweet New KINGONE winch too!

Calgary Fastener? Quest? Bolt Supply?

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

why do you want a truss head for the rockers? Are the holes not countersunk?

The best solution to pull the rockers tight imo is a flat head stainless bolt. Don't do the black oxide, they will rust in no time. A typical drive for that type of bolt is a socket which is just fine, especially when compared to a phillips drive screw...

Please do not use screws to mount sliders.
They will fall off, causing death or injury to innocent folks on the highways.



Drill, nutsert, bolt, done

Ah, OK gotcha now.
When you say "screw" and never mentioned nutsert or backing plate, it just sounds like you're just using a sheet metal screw into the body.  ;D

Wherever you got the nutserts from should have the hardware to go in them, no?
 The round head might look better, but a bolt will be easier to tighten properly.

I got all the Hardware from Bolt Supply just off of 32nd Ave NE, and they did not have the screws.  I should go back and get bolts instead, as I never thought about how they would be easier to tighten.

The holes are not counter sunk...Also, I'll see if they have flat head stainless bolts in the same size, I didn't really want to go with Black Oxide anyway.

Thanks for the advice guys.

the alternative to nutserts since you have a backerbar anyways, is to use bolts and nylock nuts on the inside. Looks like you're drilling 3/8" holes anyways, why not go with a 3/8 stainless bolt :)


If you really wanted a domed head instead of a hex say, you could spend a little extra time with a file and make square holes (in the rocker, ok a lot of extra time, just watch tv while filing...)... and use one of these carriage bolts
we'll see if stealing bandwidth from boltsupply works or not... if it doesn't follow the link http://www.boltdepot.com/images/catalog/carriage-bolt.gif

but I guess since you are drilling holes and it didn't come with hardware... do whatever you want! and think will look good.

Only 3 of the 8 holes are accessible to that "backerbar" (if he has it).

Also note when drilling, on the inside is a wiring harness. Instructions don't mention it but you should be aware of it before drilling  ;)

I have a buddy fabbing up a "backerbar"  didn't think it would be wise to install the sliders without one.  Thanks for the heads up on the wiring harness t00!

Unfortunately not...after entertaining way to much family over the holidays, I finally got around to turning some wrench then went ahead and fractured the fifth phalange (pinky bone) on my right hand. So now, I'm out of commission for six weeks and I can't grip anything...Looks like its more staring at the parts in my garage  till my hand heals :(
