What have we done lately, well not much.
After all it is my vacation
Earlier this month I "lifted" the hood
Used squarre tube for this 40*40*2 220 long, all millimetrs
Also started on a pair off mini ramps, to help fine-tuning the "flex" later on.
Used corner 30*30*3 and bar 40*5(all millimeters again)
Tested by Beest, watch the Mallcrawlin.com sticker.
After some minor adjustments, the final result.
Because there will be some extra switches and warning lights, I´m gonna adjust the center console a little.
First in wood, to get some idea´s
Something like this.
The passenger side out off 1mm stainless steel.
In place including the top side.
After ´bending´ the top piece it will be something like this.
in the "project".
That´s right it was hot in the garage today, just a little over 100 Fahrenheit.
First attribute in place, winch control lock.
You never know with small and big children in a jeep toy.
Have a nice vacation.

Center console looks trick.

Sorry Dirk, but I don't understand what you mean to say.
07-19-2006, 06:44 PM
He means it looks bad ass!
Might I add, your whole ZJ progression looks "trick".
Nice work.

thanks, learning slang every day.

Very nice center console, I like it.
08-13-2006, 06:39 AM
I want a update.......
08-13-2006, 07:08 AM
Ja ja,
nice avatar btw.

So it has been a while, but have done some minor things.
A month ago I was working on the center console, let's proceed.
Made 2 incab whinch control switches
Major thing however this week was, DS's are done.
I couldn't resist so last night I drove it on it's own engine power.
4 feet backwards and 2 feet up.
In 2 wheel drive, since the front pumpkin is still empty.
Don't mind my big smile.
Next update will be quicker, I think.

Awesome man.
Close and Closer to being finished.

I need to built some ramps like that so I can sit under low cars when I'm working on them... wonder if I would built 4... it'd be like a homebuilt lift kinda sorta
08-13-2006, 11:26 AM
I've got some 8" high plastic ones I got at Pep Boys. They work fine when trying to get a drive axle up, but not so hot on non-drive axles. I was trying to pull the ZJ up onto them once after blowing up the front d-shaft and part of the t-case, only had RWD. The fronts kept pushing the ramps, they wouldnt stay put, so I was trying to really ease the ZJ up them. Somehow or another I ended up shooting the rear ramps out from underneath the Jeep, out of the garage (door was open), and into the street. It was pretty badass.

Why didn't you just block them with a cinder block or something that was somewhat heavy. I would hope that you figured that out soon there after

Or jack it up and set them under the wheels?

They won't work well for low cars since the ramp is 38 degrees up.
They are only 4 ft long and 2 ft high approx.
Made just a pair for fine tuning on the suspension, seems to work out pretty wel.
08-13-2006, 04:04 PM
Quick enough?
Obvious had to try the front on the ramp also.
Got the ramp fixed too the ground to avoid it shooting away, so still in 2 wheel drive.
By the way, I'm a little over 6 ft, standing eye to eye with my left headlamp
Enough travel on the rear shocks
Coils are doing better then exspected
Little dusty
Detail
The hydro assist still fit
All for now

Jup, it's about time.
It is almost about two years since I drove it on/off - road.
08-13-2006, 05:55 PM
this is about the sickest BUILD EVER I WANT MORE
08-13-2006, 06:51 PM
Wow, bet you can`t wait till it`s finished.
08-14-2006, 10:13 AM
Guess one off the biggests lessons on this project is, to have all(or a lot) off the needed parts in storage before taking things a part.
So the actual build time will be a lot shorter.
08-14-2006, 11:59 AM
I hear you but at the same time, gather parts can be a pain too. I've been gathering parts for my trans swap since Feb of this year.
Did you buy most your parts from the US or a mix?
08-14-2006, 12:00 PM
I still think that is the most badass rear bumper Ive seen on a ZJ.
08-14-2006, 12:09 PM
steel, tires, e-fan and the Xj D30 are bought local.
probably forgetting som small parts.
x2
Thanx, Sjikita did the drawing and manufacturing off it.
08-14-2006, 12:21 PM
What tires are those anyhow? Maxxis?
