Sounds like a good plan, Sean. Couple things I would recommend and/or confirm what other's have said...I wouldn't go much less than 39.5's. That's what I'm running now and in the types of trails that we (and you) run....anything else is gonna make the diffs of the one-ton's act like moldboard plows. Iroks DIG in the mud/sand and will plant you on your axles in a hurry. I love 'em!
Second thing, I think you're going to be way ahead financially by doing the coils now. Good thinking. But you may want to look at cheating that rear axle back a little to improve your departure angle. Just my 2 cents, but I love being able to drop off a ledge without hanging the body off it.

The rear axle might move back a little, I'm not sure. I'll have to take another look at the fuel tank mounting to see how much that can move without exposing it too bad. I plan to tie in some guards on and below the body so that even if I do slam it down it won't do more than scratch some paint. Quote:
I can't see getting anywhere near my purchase price back on that top....that's just plain nuts. Considering you can get a new full hardtop for $1900 I don't see how a used one could pull more than half that. This one is in nice shape, but not perfect. Combine that with the hassle of shipped something this size and I'd rather just trade someone local. I've probably actually got it taken care of already. There's a guy about 2 hours from here who's always buying and selling CJs and Scramblers....he's a big Scrambler fanatic. He's gonna trade me a halfcab hardtop, a bulkhead, and a bunch of miscellaneous parts I need for my full hardtop. Works for me. I get what I want and it saves me a bunch of trouble.

I'm sure I'll be singing a different tune once I drag it along a tree or slam it down on a rock....but that just means it's time to upgrade, or cut sh1t off.

you don't know sh1t about my work do you sean...there was no copper showing..just worn to spec...f-it. i wanted a stroker anyways down the line. i only removed .008 of shims (it was loose anyways, and is running at .018 backlash right now...i'll fix it when i go to 4.88), and i did not pee down my intake.

You guys are weak. I pulled .008 out of my pinion preload at camp and it's in spec now. No, I didn't measure them at all. Me and Brian did the flick-the-shim test and determined the thickness that way.
That being said, the axle is sitting on stands right now (im in the shop) and the backlash reads at .005 with 23 inch lbs of pinion preload. I don't know how the fukk I did that after 6 beers in the dark, laying in the dirt, next to a raging bonfire. I bolted the cover back on, retorqued the pinion nut, and i'm going to keep running it once I fix the bushing. It's a tractor Sean. They run regardless. James' isn't a DD anymore so who the fukk cares if something breaks due to time and money constraints. Nothing wrong with trying to run it and realizing you just need to do it over the right way. Sh11ttttt I say that like it's happened to me before or something.

I drove my first 4.2 about 700 miles with the rods and/or crank knocking horribly, blowing/burning oil about 1.5qts an hour home from Tech once, probably would have made it home if the Jacobs coil hadn't sh1t the bed. that was after driving it around town and wheeling it for a month and a half. it had no balls but it was pretty bullet proof.

Yeah it's a tractor.....4.0s are tough as fukk....but that doesn't mean I can't give him sh1t for it. He pulled it apart to make sure it was still in good shape, it was questionable at best, but he ran it anyway. Why even pull it apart? These were sort of inside jokes at our house last year, and apparently it's become a touchy subject for ole cowfukker. I got an angry response on here and an angry text message. He'd be really mad if he knew what I did to his little sister.

I was just outside fukkin around with the thing a little bit....figured I'd see how easily it turns over. I've seen completely locked motors come back to life reasonably well before, but I didn't want that. Start pullin the crank pulley off to better access the harmonic balancer bolt. Got to the second bolt and when to loosen it and the crank startin turning. I'd say she's alright.
I'm still undecided how deep I'll go in the motor before I get her runnin. I may just change the oil, get a little in the cylinders, throw on a TBI kit and let er rip. Or I may pull the heads, check out the pistons and cylinders, and throw in a meaner bumpstick for a nice lope. Or I may pull the whole thing out and give it a full rebuild. Supposedly it had a rebuild not too long ago.....it sure looks like it on the outside, but that doesn't mean much. I doubt I'll do the full rebuild right now. I'll save it for a few years down the road and go all out with a pretty nice performance motor build. If I go to run it now and it sucks, then I guess it'll get a rebuild, but at this point it should be fine and I'd prefer to focus my money elsewhere.

pics? I'd run your motor. If you pull it apart you might see something you don't like and have to rebuild it. Or, you'd put it back together and either A) It'll never run again and you'd start fukking cows or B) You'll always be thinking about what you saw and a month later it'll get torn down and rebuilt because like myself, you are anal about this sh1t. Or at least are e-anal like Vette.

What you said on the motor is pretty much my reasoning. I don't wanna spend the money on anything major on it right now, so I won't. If it runs like sh1t or is worn out then I'll do it, but otherwise I'll probably just give it a shot. In a few years it'll pass the 1hp per cubic inch mark, plus maybe some forced induction. We'll see. Since the coils are probably gonna happen sooner than later I'll need something to do once I get bored. Speaking of coils, anybody got a compressed measurement for XJ coils? Whichever ones you're running is fine.....just let me know if they're stock, lift, etc. Quote:
I'm surprised you didn't tell me to leave it white. Honestly I'd spray bomb primer on it before I'd leave it white.

Looks great, i "almost" bought a scrambler a couple weeks ago to put my new driveline in, but the more i thought about it, for me i wanted less body, but for a rig that'll be driven on the road regularly, those are just fawking BAD A$$$ Nice Score
Feel free to pm with any questions on the dodge/chevy 60 thing, i learned my lesson the hardway on that one

What did you learn with the Dodge/Chevy 60 thing? I imagine for you the low pinion caused problems, but anything else you didn't like? External vs internal hubs, etc. I plan to go SRW cuz DRW would just be too fukkin wide. I'm thinkin H2 wheels and 41x14.5 Iroks should fit the bill nicely. Got any pics of your rig back when you ran the H2s handy? Some various angles would be nice If you don't mind listing off random do's and don'ts, likes and dislikes about the front 60s that'd be cool. I've done some research, read through the Pirate 60 bible, etc. It's just a matter of getting other sh1t done first, then saving up a little and hopefully finding a good deal. Rear will be 14 bolt, so that's pretty self explanatory.

compressed or with weight on em? I run stock xj's in the rear of mine and with weight on them they sat at 13" with the ax-15 and 231 and 12" with the t-18 and stak. I run 4.5" rough country xj coils in the front and they are somewhere around 16-18" if I remember right. best part about those is they are super long so they compress a good bit so the coils stays seated longer

With weight on em....compressed wouldn't help me much, I just need to get a baseline for what coils to use for the height I decide on, even though I'll have a couple inches of adjustability built in. I've got quite a ways to go before that point, but it can't hurt to find out now.

I'll probably go Rusty's cuz they're cheap and I've had excellent experience with them. They're like $100/pr
