Get cracking Tim, summer is almost over!
Looking good though!

Trans mount is straight baller! I saw it in person and it looks factory!
08-01-2007, 08:46 PM
Factory = weak
08-02-2007, 06:49 PM
Can't wait to see it finished Tim.

Tim you need to get this damn thing done so that you can make a trip to westbranch before the end of the summer

I would love to go back to the badlands in early october if you ever get back to GR area after school starts. Is drummond open all year?Originally Posted by ajmorell

dont let Blaine anywhere NEAR your rig. NP435's were just not meant to have pink yokes.
08-05-2007, 12:30 AM
247's were... Tim painted the damn yoke pink... which is still pink BTW...

Yeah I think October would be ideal for the badlands, but i got some work to do before i go anywhere. Do you have any interest in going to westbranch or even silver lake or something?

How was this past weekend at the badlands???
I do have interest in those places if it is going to be worth it. I don't want to spend the gas money if it is not really worth it these days.

Not much has been finished on the ZJ in a while; I have been busier than normal. I did get my shifters and shifter knobs finished though.
I drilled and tapped a 34mm impact socket to use as my NP435 shifter.
Drilling and tapping the hardened steel was ridiculous (it took forever!) but I am happy with the way it turned out.
I also drilled and tapped the solid rod I used for the D20 shifters and 249 reduction box to use deep well sockets as the shift knobs.
Dana 20 twin sticks:
249 reduction box shifter (right now it is 1:1)
I drilled and tapped ¼” NC then ran a hex bolt + washer from the top. I did a taper in a square shape on the bench grinder so the 3/8” drive sockets do not wobble at all.
Longer through bolt on the drive train rear mount:

Your shifters have a lifetime warranty! Nice.
Plus, if you carry the allen wrench with you, you'll have the sockets handy if you ever need them. Nice way to conserve space in the tool box.

Nice place to put spare sockets.

It was a jeep thing, but that shit broke

This needs to be updated in the worst kind of way!
04-14-2009, 04:23 PM
Awesome build ! I can't wait til i have my own garage.

According to Tim this thing runs & drives now.....but I'll believe it when I see it.
04-22-2009, 06:02 PM
He lies!
04-22-2009, 11:35 PM

06-10-2009, 09:37 PM

Last I heard it runs and drives but apparently it overheated on the way down to the Badlands for GSMW. Tim will have to confirm that though.

wow. great drivetrain. jelous of the manny swap on V8
07-11-2009, 09:26 PM
so did u switch to driver side starter?Here is a shot side by side of the old 46RH + NP242 next to the whole NP435 + 249 + D20.
Rear DS is longer by 2" and the front by 1" using the new configuration:
Pretty long, but shorter than stock. Also allows for plent of room for the D20 shift rails. I might not have enough clearance for the front output, worst case scenario is a flip the 249 and redrill my 1/2" adapter plate.
