-the tube that comes up from the waterpump
- hose clamps
-redo brake lines to the master cylinder to the divider block

What's hanging from your ceiling?

In the end, it's only advice. Do whatever you like.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw

jeep is looking good guys, coming along nicely.

what brand air intake did you want for the build? i would be willing to buy one for it as long as it does not need to be a overly priced K&N.

let me know.

I would maybe think about going with something alittle deeper than 4:10's if you are going through the work of re-gearing...I would say 4:56's would go well with 35's and a 4.0L. Just a suggestion though...

-Air intake would be for a 2001 4.0 and anything will work its your preference, and i dont blame you I wouldnt spend that type of on a overpriced K/N

what hanging from the ceiling is old drywall my roof collapsed this pastwinter from the ice storm, and I have been slowly cleaning up the rafters, paper and staples removal is a slow and time consuming process(especially when building a Jeep)

Went to the junk yard today, got some nuts and bolts for grounds, and nuts that go to the clutch fan, also got the tube that runs from the waterpump. I bought a rear driveshaft for the badlands trip in April too. use it as a spare for the trip and then it will go into the notchback if I dont break anything(fingers crossed )

- still looking for the 3 injector plug wires they are for the skinny injector not the big fat injectors
- gotta buy a driverside mirror power

- sanded the driverside doors, took off the trim hit em with the DA sander

gonna primer the doors make em all the same color

I spent some time working on Notchback today and here is what I got accomplished:

Clutch fan is meow done
Electric fan is meow done
Radiator hoses are meow done.

Need to get the tranny lines hooked backed up then a flush. Then look at pulling the bent D30 and replacing with a 01 HPD30. The go-go pedal needs reinstalled.

Little by Little its coming together....10/9/10 is coming fast.

Rock on, it will be neat when you guys get it done!

does this still need a paint job gf's dad does paint and body work for a living perhaps he could do it for ya guys his number is 260 418 5740 if greasy sphincter interested

This does need a paint job and body work done to it, I dont know which route we are gonna take when it comes to the body.
-the last 2-4 weeks we have been putting all the little stuff together from wiring to radiator hoses and such.
Saturday a few guys came over and we swapped the bent axle out for a 98-99 D30 HP went to put in new u-joints and found one of the ears were cracked on the passengerside shaft, and the driverside shaft was out of a older axle because the u-joint was smaller

Today I called Ft Wayne Clutch and they are sponsoring the driveline of this build with new driveshafts. SO I called them today to see if they could help me track down some axle shafts. Not only did they track em down but they gave em to me because this is part of the driveline. Its amazing to see people say they support the men and women of the armed forces but when you see them put it into actions you step back and think "Did that really happen?" Lets just say that those shafts arent cheap and they didnt even bat an eye and handed me the parts to put the front end back together
- So big thank you to Fort Wayne Clutch for the axle shaft assembly cant thank them enough.

Got all the front end done today, put the calipers and rotors, brake pads, all on and put the tires back on

unfortuneately the 89 transmission lines do not work for an 01 tranny or radiator
got the ground hooked up and everything inside the vehicle came on, the headlights work

The next few weeks the rig will be in the hands of Get Bent Kustoms and Tuffjarhead to install a one off roll cage and other goodies
after that it goes to Fort Wayne Clutch to get custom driveshafts put in.

we need to install the gas tank but need gas tank bolts to install gas tank
finish rear LED tail lights, do all the wiring for em.


last but not least is exhaust at Exhaust World
