Looks awesome Kris!!!!!!!!

[Kraqa]

Well i got some more work done today.

cables for all the shifters came in.

Doubler Linkage




D300 linkages (The mount will get a brace)


all of them





Got one peice of the two peice drive shaft done.




its a tight fit!





mocking up the clearance for the second peice and my links. Looks liek i'l be fine.



Rad fan mounts. I couldn't think of any other way to mount the Tarus fan. SO i came up with this. IF anyone have any better ideas please let me know

1/4" ready rod, nuts 1/4" and 5/16" flat washers and 1/4" locks.



this is the rod assembled.
nut->1/4" lock->1/4" flat washer->5/16" flat washer.

then i wrapped the whole thing in electrical tape to stop it from wearing through the rad core.



installed in the rad core.

i did that in 4 places and then got the whole thing in the truck


Mounted! plus the power steering cooler as well.

GSW 2009?

[Kraqa]

Possibly 08.

What about wrapping that threaded rod with a piece of brass pipe and having it act as a sleeve to protect the radiator. Which would wear better than the tape and be a bit more stable. Just an idea.

Then a teflon or rubber washer to contact the outside of the radiator too instead of the metal flat washer.

Something that I noticed that i'm not sure about, aren't those power steering coolers supposed to have air running longways across them for higher efficiency? Even the way you have it i'm sure it will get decent flow, just dunno if you might be able to make it better.

It looks like you'll have a greater possibility of going than I will. But maybe the dollar fairy will come grant me with some green pieces of paper I can use to fix some shit. We'll see.

I've given up all hopes of making it to GSW this year. Too much other shit hogging my money.

Looking good Kris. Can't wait to see it all skinned.

You'll be driving, what, 5mph in a buggy? You're more likely to have a stronger crosswind then one from the buggy moving forward.

the arus fan pulls around 3300 CFM. i think i'l be fin. thats a 15" long cooler that hold 1 quarts +. its finned internally and externally.

i'm changing the rad fan mounts.

[Kraqa]

the aluminum work on the buggy is almost done!!!!!! yayyy!! 1 more peice in the rear. Its square 24" x 24" so it shodul be quick.

i did skin the sides of the "trunk" area. all the aluminum has been removed in the rear. it has been cleaned and preped for the final install. so i can check that off my list.

The main reason for removing the floor was that someone put a deposite on my doubler/t-cases.

I just e-mail AA and i'm waiting to get a lead time on my atlas!!!

-2 @ Fox 16" remote res CO's

[OverkillZJ]

That "hatch" is just awesome.

[redline61]

That "hatch" is just awesome.

Couldn't agree more

[ZJ Pappy]

This thing is looking sick. The hatch was a sweet idea.

[2jeepsforus]

Just leave it up and have a spoiler for your buggy

[ILikeMud]

Fucking awesome man.

[SuicideTireZJ]

Just leave it up and have a spoiler for your buggy

Or a speed brake when he gets a little crazy on gravel roads...

[Kraqa]

ok here's the update.

The doubler and t-case have sold. So an atlas is in the mix.

Got some work on the skins today.

the side panels are 1/8" clear lexan it still has the protective film on it right now. WHen i'm ready for the final install i will have the red ricer window tint on the inside of them.

[MyNameIsJerry]

Gotta love the ZJ skins, stayin' true to your roots!

[chadjans]

It would be cool if you did the side panels in steel with breaks in them that carry the fender lines down the side...

[Kraqa]

corners radiused.

hole for foot is in (so you can get itn the damn thang)

and the front fenders are trimmed. They may need to go some more once i start flexin this.........i'l find out soon enough. CO's are in town....boyaaaa
