YJ goes under the knife

Post by **willhf1011** » Tue Jan 05, 2010 1:15 pm

I've got both frame rails done. Still need to make up the fishplates for the driverside. I've started designing my rear bumper. I haven't fully decided how I want it done, I might take some potential pictures and see what you guys think would look good. I'm planning to go up to AOI and grab my 14 bolt and atleast some of the tubing I need, Mikes got all the 1.75 .120 I need but finding stuff for my lowers is proving to be a little trickier. I might just run .120 wall for the time being and when I bend them upgrade to the chromolly links I really want to run.

Tomorrow night should be a big work night so hopfully I'll have alot to show for it.

If you are working on it friday I can stop by and give you a hand after I get off work around 3

Will, how much do you need of what size? I might be able to get it for you if Tim has it at Liquid Iron and drop it off Friday on my way home.

I might be wrenching Friday, I'll let you guys know, I really appreciate the offer, I can use all the help I can get. I might not be able to swing friday with Hannah though because I get tonight and tomorrow night to myself and probably all day saturday.

I got my 1.75 x .120 last night and just need to grab some 2 x .250. I've got a friend in Westminster who has some of it I just need to get up there to get it. Ary I'll let you know if I don't get a hold of some of it, that would be great.

The 14 bolt at AOI was a C&C it turns out so I'm still hunting. I might still grab that one and just swap the hubs, the SRW and C&C housings are the same.

Sounds good, just let me know.

C&C axle?

Post by **Arya Ebrahimi** » Wed Jan 06, 2010 10:34 am

Cab and chassis. They have narrower rear track widths than a standard dually.

Yessir. The C&C and SRW housings are identical except for the backing flange for the drum backing plate. C&C run Dually Hubs but are interchangeable with SRW to bring the WMS back out to 67"

I am wrenching pretty much all night tonight starting mid afternoon so anyone in the area who wants to stop by and check it out/help is welcomed/appreciated.

Ary, what is your driving route/time frame? I'd be interested in borrowing your dimple dies this weekend at some point. Also if youre ever up anywhere near green lane, pa and want to haul an axle, theres a guy up there with 2 4.20 SRW 14 bolts that im still interested in.

I'm coming home tonight and heading back up Monday morning. Where are you exactly? I'm not planning on heading up towards Baltimore over the weekend, but my gf could probably get them to Arbutus area on Monday if that works.

As for the axle, I may very well be headed that way in the next 2 weeks and will let you know.

Ary

I'm outside Reisterstown. zip is 21136. I'd be willing to drive some ways to meet someone. If it doesnt work out I can borrow AOI's tomorrow most likely, its just nice to be able to do it here.
Thanks Ary

Damn, you're up there! I mean if you want to drive to Olney you can grab them, but I don't know anyone headed your way this weekend and my schedule is packed already.

If you'd rather wait till Monday to do them at your place, I can get my gf to bring them to Baltimore, but otherwise you're probably better off going to AOI.

Picked up my new rear axle the other night. Still need to get some SRW hubs for it though. Its a C&C 14 bolt. I think I'm gonna shave it and possibly take the ring gear down a bit.
Also bent up some tube at AOI for my rear truss. itll be a little different than my original design but I think I'll like it. And I got one of my frame rails finished with the plates.

I'm hoping to have it a roller by the end of this weekend.

Will this will work for you, hit me/Ary up asap. I'm gonna be in Dundalk tonight, but will be in Olney Saturday, I'll be heading back up to Bel Air either Saturday night or Sunday morning, or I can bring them to the Quarry Monday (closer for you right?) I'll be there 5 to 4ish.

Rant thats awesome, thanks a ton. I'll shoot you and Ary a text right now. Either Sunday od Monday will work for me, Lafarge is real close to me, we actually just got a bunch of salvage stuff from there today from a guy hauling out scrap. A couple drive rollers for conveyors and a shitty little forklift with a locked up tranny haha
