And so it begins....

I saw a picture of this thing today, looks like snappy has been busy! Looking good, snap. You're doing the old YJ justice.

Picked up the cage I picked up from GONOVRIT, had it sand blasted and gotg it set in tonight...

 

[snappy]

Got the front end striped out of the way and cut off the motor mounts, shock mounts and the track bar mount.

Thanks to Dave at Oliver's driveshaft's in Winston for my new comfy seats...

Looks sweet I hope my big ass fits lol

 

[snappy]

Me and the goof troop got a little done tonight... Got the rear in swaped to spring over with the 14bolt and the 39" stickies. We also got the tcase mounted up to the transfer case. Took a few hours to clean all the mounts off the 14 bolt.

 

[REDLYNER]

Looking pretty strong.

This is going to be a really nice rig when it is done. It's very similar to what I want to do with my CJ minus the 3.8. But now you got me thinking. There's just something about the sound of a SC on the trail that is bad azz.

We got a good bit done tonight! Motor is in and ready for mounts.

Looks great!

Sorry if I missed it but are you solid mounting the drivetrain or using bushings?

 

[snappy]

Bushings. The body lift is coming off so the drivetrain will be 3 more inches up in the body.

Looking really good Snappy. You going to make any pulley changes to the blower or just leave it stock?

 

[snappy]

Going 3.5 or 3.4 pulley. Really depends on what the engine builder puts on it....

I like it!!

 

[snappy]

Went over to jims to help get the old stuff out of the way. We got the motor set in place and the axle close to its new home....

Wow you got that motor way back there! Guess you won't have any problems with room for other stuff under the hood, and your f/r weight bias should be good to go!

Looks good now go win some races!

 

[paradisePWoffrd]

Is there a reason for choosing to do SOA vz SUA in the rear? to match the front height?

I am guessing that a traction bar in the rear will need to come at some point if it stays leaf spring?

Im sure you have thought it through, but if considering a traction bar for the rear, give me a shout as I have an idea that might work...

 

[MarsFab]

Man thats gonna make for an awesome weight bias snappy. I like it a lot!

 

[snappy]

I think we figured out my belt issues....
I ordered an offset blower pulley that lines it up with the inner pulleys, then grabed a ps pump from a 98 camaro. I know my paint skills lack but does anyone see why this wouldn't work???
I will have to add an idealer pulley but everything is stock gm with the expection of the blower pulley....

 

[snappy]

Had a special delivery today...

Looks awesome, I can't wait to see it finished up. Nice and low.

ROCK ON, I'm digging the entire package. I'm glad someone is putting that chassis to good use!
