WestGaDad Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I just wanted to show off how awesome Peachey has been to me lately. She set this up all on her own. It's a 1200 Sporty that the previous owner started making a stunt bike of. She knew I wanted one just for playing with. The green is the same we used on her rifle. Thanks babe!

Peachey Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Aww shucks babe! I'm glad I did good. Glad you posted too, I was gonna bust and post it myself if you didn't lolol. @98Z5V I'll let him fill in the specs when he goes on break again, but it started as a '98 that his dad bought new. Hit a deer at two weeks old and smashed the front end. Then his mom got t boned in Atlanta sometime around 01-02. After the t bone the insurance totaled it and westgadad bought it back as a salvage title vehicle. He fixed it and drove it for a couple years. He left the road backwards in it around 07 and really destroyed it. By 09 he had it going again and thankfully it's not had anymore on road accidents. The first engine I ever helped rebuild is the Jeeps. We went 4 years with that as our only transportation lol. Ahh the good old days. The other frontend poking out is my '76 Scout Traveller.

98Z5V Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 NICE!!! Hell yeah!!! That Scout is the SHEEEIIIIIT!!! When Jeep got eaten up by Fiat/Chrysler and they dropped the 4.0L straight six, they really fucked up with that gay V6 that's in there in the new junk. The start of the great 4.0L Jeeps was the YJ. The end of the great Jeeps was the TJ and LJ. Everything else, with that V6, just sucks, if you don't swap it to a V8 - or BACK to a straight 6.

He's saving a slant 6 for it in a few years when it's emissions exempt. It's a 4cyl now (2.5 I believe?!?). He calls it "the buzzin half dozen" plan LOLOL.

98Z5V Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 If it's the 2.4L 4cyl, gotta dump the trans, too - that was the AX5 trans. Buy the 4.0L and the trans together, and you'll get the AX15 trans with it. If he gets REALLY LUCKY, and finds a 4.0L out of a 2000-up TJ, it'll have the NV3550 trans, which is a badass manual. It'll also have two different transfer cases behind it. It's gonna have the NP231, which is a good t-case, or it might have the NP241OR t-case. 231 has a low range of 2.72:1, the 241OR has a low range of 4.0:1. Find the 241OR if you can. Find a totalled 2000-up Wrangler Rubicon with a manual trans, and that's the 4.0L eng, NV3550 trans, 241OR t-case. That is one BADASS combination...

98Z5V Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) First year of the YJ jeep was 1987. That thing had the carbed 258ci engine - the 4.2L - through the 1990 model year. The '87~'89 had a shiiit transmission, the BA-10, stay away. The '90~'91 went to the AX15 (decent trans) but still the 4.2L. 1991 saw the first 4.0L engine, and all the '91 YJ and all TJs had the AX-15 - unless it was the TJ Rubicon model. Early TJ Rubicon models still had the AX-15 trans,but that sweetass NP241OR t-case, with the 4.0:1 low range. 2000-ups had the NV3550 trans - far superior to the AX-15 (which ain't bad, but...). Shop wisely. I'm here for you guys. My "gun shiit" started with RX-7 shiit, then Jeep shiit... a LONG TIME AGO...

WestGaDad Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 @98Z5V yeah man it's a 2.5, ax5, np231, d30 front and d35 rear. 4:11's and 31" tires. 100% truthfully I'll probably never change any of it. I joke about the 225 but it'd be a lot of trouble for the benefit. I'm sentimental about it. My daughter says it's hers now. It's a 98 mostly. 97 tub. 03 window frame and cage. Rear d35 from a 2000. No sway bar links. It will flex until the coils pop out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do anything to the '97. You know I own a '93 YJ with a 6" coil conversion, right?... Lockers front & rear, full-floated the rear, manual-hubbed the front (you can see the locking hubs front and rear, in the below pic), warn axle conversions throughout, NP231 main shaft conversion, double-cardan short rear driveshaft, cage, engine mods for days... If you need Jeep mods, lemme know. I can advance your ignition timing with a drill bit. We need to mod your MAP sensor after that though...

Robocop1051 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 The 87 is finally getting sold. I’ve owned it 25 years. The 97 is my regular driver, but it’s getting tired too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason to get rid of it- because you'll never be able to get anything like that back. The new Jeeps are shiit. If you sell that '97, then...

Weekend is all we need, if the parts are on hand already, and pre-positioned (shipped HERE, just like ammo for a Fall Shoot....)... That's one of the easiest engines in the world to rebuild. Fuckin' simple, brother. Need axles re-geared? Done. T-case or trans rebuilt? Whatever. (Just don't tell me it's that damn automatic - I ain't touching that thing) Add more weekends if you want trans and t-case rebuilds. Except for that automatic - take that bitch to AAMCO... Gimme a week down here, and that's engine, manual trans, t-case rebuilds. Done. Axles - we'll muscle through them in the time we have. I have presses made to do the long side axle seal on the D30 front. Everything else, whatever. I'm IN... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I roofed a guy's house in Cincinnatti for beer. 2-story, and the peak was sketchy-steep, and he bought enough beer to try to kill me...

Peachy, if your Scout has the original engine, which one do you have, the 304, the 345 or the diesel? I will have to dig, but I have a picture somewhere of myself sitting behind the wheel of a brand new 1975 Scout II the first day I bought it. Got into a lot of trouble in that rig. Two months after buying it and I tried jumping a dry creek bed with it and left both dual exhausts mufflers and all sitting on the stream bed. Problem with Scout’s they started rusting in northern climates 2 minutes after they left the dealer. They are built like tanks though. Miss that rig.

Ravenworks Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 "2006 LJ", that has every goodie imaginable while still maintaining a stock appearance. Built as an expo vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachey Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 @Sisco It's a 304, 727 auto, 2wd long wheelbase "Traveller". From what I've gathered on the IH forum I was on, it's a semi desirable truck. Fairly high option list. Tilt, AC, Auto, Towing PKG, woodgrain dash (apparently that's a big deal lol), am/fm etc etc. The only big option it's missing is the swivel seats. The fact that it's not the 345 or diesel makes the numbers/rarity folks all giddy. This one's just a bit too far gone for us to justify making nice. It's kinda like my wanna be farm truck I guess. Still cool, still something I've wanted to own and drive around town. @Ravenworks I've always loved the LJ's! Just can't ever find one affordable enough. I really really really want a Scrambler though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built as an expo vehicle. Were almost done with the 5.3 swap in my dads 03 LJ. Still shaking out some bugs between computers. He almost sold it. Had a banks kit on the stock motor and it just never ran right. Then this bright idea popped in. I still give him crap because it’s been almost a year now...and who knows how many dollars later.
