The Dirty Bucket

**MUDDTRACKS** · 09-17-2007, 09:41 PM

i did use the glass from the rear doors just swapped sidesso they whould fit a little better then move the hatch forward and used 16ga sheetmetal to close it in. I welded the rear doors in place and used the dom from the cage to run sapports up into the cab from the rear. When i cut the roof free you could lift up on the rear bumper and close the gap between the rear doors and rear quarter panels it was kind of funny

**jfowlzj95** · 10-30-2007, 05:40 PM

Very nice

**ATL ZJ** · 10-30-2007, 08:02 PM

Looks like a big turnout. Hope that garden treated you a little better than crawfords

**MUDDTRACKS** · 10-31-2007, 12:07 AM

yeah the rock garden didnt claim any parts but was a real bitch to get thru i was the third to run the coarse and had no sleep the night before so i had a bit of a hard time. Note to self dont drink all night then go a jeep event with out sleeping. made for a long day.

**dangerousdave** · 11-05-2007, 12:06 PM

looks like a good time though hung over or not. Are you still running a l6?

**MUDDTRACKS** · 11-05-2007, 09:45 PM

yeah still running the I6 has plenty of power for a 5 thousand pound jeep.

Went out yesterday and broke all the bolts off the steering gear box and broke my kevin's offroad steering brace.

so the next project will be steering box upgrade. Not sure how im going to do it tho.

**jfowlzj95** · 11-05-2007, 09:47 PM

J-20 or Waggy box.

**Strada** · 11-17-2007, 01:32 PM

That´s nice!!!

got the inline oiler at lowes

**MUDDTRACKS** · 12-18-2007, 04:53 AM

well got a new project for the dirty bucket a buddy of mine is giving me a nv 3550 with all the parts for a install and 241 tcase. Might not be the best swap but free is free. im sure it will be a pita getting it to fit.

wont start on this till after the newyear seeing i will be at morris mont. 2 days after xmass.

**ZJ Pappy** · 12-18-2007, 12:38 PM

Can't wait to see this project underway. That is a great friend if he's going to give you all that stuff for free.

**MUDDTRACKS** · 01-29-2008, 04:36 AM

nothing new really so i thought i would add this vid from a while ago
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...endID=53639304

Jeep is in the shop and time to do some work on it.

I was going to put the nv 3550 in but why change it up right now the aw-4 with the aw-shifer works great. So that is on the back burner till i blow the bitch up

Let's see I think a dove nose and finish up the sheet metal in the rear plus make some new skids under the zj are in order. Im thinking for the skids i want a full belly skid.

Then i want to move the battery to the back and add the another yellow top with it. I have 1o wire,extra yellow top and battery diconect's already just need a few inline fuses

Got a 2001 tj intake manifold to put in.

Need to change out the rear spring with some stock xj front springs so it's not so stiff in the rear and make it so the coils are locked in place. Tired of them falling out.

Also want to redo my exhust so it runs all the way back. The drone is really starting to get to me when im all hung over trail riding.
Almost forgot I want to ditch stock headlights for xj lights.

Plan is to have it all done by march for a few jeep events.
That way all the bugs will be worked out before gsse.

Not to mention I would like to run in a few mud truck races this year. Not realy a race just have to match your times accross a 200 foot mud drag. who ever gets the best matched time wins the pot. Best pot i have seen was 1500.oo Not to bad for 2 trips down the strip.

**MUDDTRACKS** · 01-29-2008, 03:21 PM
