Lizard Jeep Rebuild

lizard lips · Apr 20, 2009

well did a few things lately. Went from some 14" coilovers to the 17" Bilstein coilovers I had laying around.

rear driveshaft, 1410 yoke

new upper shock mount

new axle coilover mounts.

picked up a lokar shifter. Not sure if I like it yet but we'll see what happens

and just a little bling. gotta support who keeps the parts coming

Here's how it sits now

Nice work I really like this project.

How is the wheeling around Las Vegas?

I was just down there and thought about bringing my jeep next time.

From the airplane it looked like there must be lots of good wheeling, and no rain!

wheeling is pretty good down here. You just need to know where to go. A bunch of trails near town are being closed. They keep building houses right up to the mountain.

not many too updates today. I used some brackets I had laying around to start the front of this thing. My lower link brackets never showed so I am waiting on those. Here's some stuff that I'm mocking up. Yes I will be using pvc pipe it's super strong and flexable! :flipoff:

passenger side will be a little crowded. Still need coilover mounts. These are the old ballistic brackets. Never used them so why not use them now.

3rd link tower and maybe the start of the frame mount

braced the lower links

driver side with the 3rd link tied in

I also started on the crossmember. This is all I did before I didn't want to do anything else

A bunch of progress has been done on this but here's the pics. Cycling the suspension. The shitty pics are a camera phone. I'll get detailed pics later
Since the last update. Cage, hydro, bumps, and everything else have been done.
