Planting the seed!

[Kraqa]

Well i have had the ZJ buggy for a LONG time. I wheel the shit out of it. and well it has served its purpose.

For the longest time i was goign to build up a tube buggy skined liek a tracker. Wellllll...that idea changed.

These are the parts i currently own:
-1999 Vortec 4.3L V6
-1999 4L60E Tranny
-NP241
-Dana 300
-Two Steering Dana 60's
-Adapter for 4L60E to NP241
-And a 241 Box for Rocks crawl box kit on its way.
-1993 ZJ Head Lights
-1993 ZJ Tail lights
-Tracker rear bench seat.
-Front and rear line locks
-race runner 18" airshocks



Items that are on their way:
-ZJ Front fenders


First you ave to plant the seed, then you have to water it, then you have to let it grow into a plant.....then you fuck this plant....err ah i mean drive it!


Well long story short. I want a Pro Mod class buggy for werock with the capability to carry 4 people. Well the bench will be UBER tinny but still the possibility is there. And the tracker bench folds down flat for storage.

Stay tuned.


of the the built propane motor will be goign into the Suburban.

target weight is 3,400 LB.

seams acheivable with the numbers i got from the cage i designed in Solidworks.

[ogdak]

Stay tuned.

I will

[ArloGuthroJeep]

Done yet?

[OverkillZJ]

I need someone to inspire me to get off my ass and at least start thinking about what I'm doing with mine, looking forward to the build!

[midwestxj]

I read the title and thought someone was trying to get some else preggers.

[DJJordache]

I read the title and thought someone was trying to get some else preggers.

thats what I thought too

[Kraqa]

the solid works file.

[Kraqa]

obviously its not done yet.

but the main chassis layotu is done.

and hey i even figured out where my front x-member has to be in order to clear the DS.

[Kraqa]

well i started in the doubler.

cracked the 241 open and took it all apart. i ordered up my 5/8" Alum plate for the adapter. will be ready tomorrow. All i need is the new main shaft either i cut one down or i get one from DD machine.

[Cue-Ball]

Looking good Kris.

When you get ready to compete hit me up and maybe we can work something out as far as fluids go.

Sweet man.
At least it will have a ZJ skin.

[Kraqa]

i competed in the previouse buggy. man was that fun. uber wide.

i'l hit you up soon.

I like the chassis design--very similar to what is in my head although I'll probably bring a C piller down like to give the small bench a little more head room.

what WB you shooting for? I'm hoping for 105" Wb and 77" outside tire to outside tire.

[Kraqa]

WB 108-110

74-78" outside to outside.

[Kraqa]

well i got my price quote back from the machine shop. 220.00 to cut down the 241's main shaft

apparently because there is so much meet on the main shaft it is along time to turn it down. plus they are 1 hour away from me and their lead time is less then to be desired. Some of you might know OTT industries from their doublers and highsteer arms.

bo eeerns.

so i decided that 349.00 US wasn't bad for the complete kit from DD machine. it comes with a 4143 Chromo shaft. all the hardware plate clockgin ring..basically everything.

i pick that kit up this saterday with my adapter to go from the 6 bolt 4l60E tranny to the np241. so by next week the driveline shoudl be allllll bolted up and painted. then i start bending tube bitches!!!.

[Kraqa]

well i got to work on the dana 300 today

this is version 2.0





this one will not be flipped..... but just for some eye candy here was version 1.0

[Kraqa]

oh and thats the first coat of paint. it has a clear base so it doesn't cover well.

[ILikeMud]

What's going to happen with the Zuggy?

Kris, clear out a few of your PMs, I need to send another one to you.

[Kraqa]

th eold one will be cut up parted out and gotten rid of.


And the PM's are cleared.

[Kraqa]

Doubler and t-case DONE!!!









NP241 crawl box. fully rebuilt dana 300.

[Kraqa]

well i'm building the dana 60 fornt. and let me tell you

a cut and turn job is no easy tast. i'm 4 hours into it and this d60 is still fighting me. it would be so much easier if i was just using dedenbear inner C's and i'm almost ready to buy them because these things are so freekin stupid.

for those of you that know me i'm a pinner fuck and i've been swining this hammer all night long.

pics to follow tomorrow.

this is the new front BTW

[ELLLLLIOTTTTT]

Good thing you didnt build another version 1.0. It was impossible to build fucking shifters for!

[Kraqa]

no it wasn't!

cable shifters woudl have worked just fine.

you mount a base on the tranny and have the cables extend out.
