sounds like he's slipping to me.:flipoff:

 

[Jeepless]

was it X mas today?

 

[CrustyJeep]

? why did you not switch the mounts around so that there was just small tabs on the frame and use the bussing on the motor mount it self ?

I agree with this. Much easier to change the bushings if you can just pop the mount out and clamp it in the vice.

So for the 4th time I got my shirt caught on the rear of the rig and for the 4th time the rig laughed and told me to F-off. So--I showed it who is boss :flipoff:

so mike, were did the back half of the tub go? i might be intrested in it is it at jacks?

its not at my pad, I wonder if mike doesn't have some plans for it though.

Hmmm-the motor dropped right back in :haha: :haha: :haha:

Come and get it

Ok I got the front frame rails totaly stripped. I decided to just fully paint the frame rails to keep the rust off the frame since for some odd reason this frame wants to rust quite quickly (never had this problem on anything else). And when I need to weld something to the frame ---thats why I have a BIG OL BURL wire brush

I went and totaly stripped the rest of the frame rails and also painted them up since I had to pull the rest of the powertrain components...

 

[crash2]

I pulled apart all the boxes to seal them together. So now that part is fully assemembed now and ready to go in for the last time. Love my tranny jack :;

Jacks getting a nice centerforce II clutch--should treat him well :;

 

[crash2]

And now the motor is back in for the last time..

I went ahead and squared the tranny shifter hole and the t-case holes look to be dead nuts on...

 

[TreeClimber]

damn that thing is long, be a bitch to fit that into a CJ5!

 

[crash2]

This is a bad picture. I was able to work the body up where the clutch fork sits--should clear now but I have just enough room to work the body a lil more if need be..

Here is a toy mini clutch slave cylinder. The tacoma's have the clutch setup on the oppisite side so it makes the bleader upside down. This is not a big deal--you have to remove the slave to bleed the system (its the same way when you run an FJ40 slave on a sm465). One thing I am unsure of is the ears that bolt the slave to the bellhousing must be longer than the taco's because the rod that the slave push's against is a lil of an angle to the clutch fork...
