PostSubject: so here's my heep   so here's my heep Icon_minitimeSun 30 May 2010, 9:21 pm

well figured i'd show my heep and the build up

here it is now. i'm in the process of putting flares on

so here's my heep P5300013

here's how i got it

so here's my heep PC100007

it had all kind of issues mostly of the suspension kind

so here's my heep PC240012

some hack took a cj axle and attempted to turn it into a xj axle.....it apperently worked for them but not for me and here it is now

so here's my heep P5300016

so here's my heep P5300014

and here's my links or atleast the first set. i got in a hurry when i was setting up my front axle the first time because i had to move the jeep and cut all the links 2" too short

so here's my heep P4210011

also got rid of that piece o crap dana 35 and put a 8.8 in instead

so here's my heep P4210012

installed a detroit up front and left the stock lsd in the rear and installed 4.88's front and rear

i also welded on unibody stiffeners just for giggles

so here's my heep P4210006

don't have any pics of them welded on but you get the point. i also build my own skid plate but don't have any pics of that either

next i started building bumpers. don't like the rear bumper so i never took any pics of that and it's eventually gonna get replaced with a much better looking and stronger bumper anyways. i'm just out of steel at the moment. so here's the front

so here's my heep PC310006

so here's my heep PC310005

so here's my heep PC310007

so here's my heep PC310008

it'll eventually get a winch in that gapping winch like mounting hole in the middle

i'm in the process of building a 4.6 stroker and right now i have my engine block, crank, rods and pistons at the machine shop. hopefully will be getting those back next week. i still need to figure out what i'm gonna do with the head and decide what cam to go with.

so this weekend i decided to get around to what i thought was some minor rust repair and bed line the interior until i pulled the carpet out and found this

so here's my heep P5300011

so here's my heep P5300010


so here's my heep P5300009

so that got put on hold till i get some new floor pans but right now i'm a bit poor since i just bought my custom pistons and paid my machine shop so hopefully in a week or 2 i'll be able to hit a junkyard and get me some new pans

oh i also was unfortunate enough to crack both heads in my truck in april and had to drive the jeep for a couple days and i must say the steering was jacked and almost wrecked me a few times

old steering

so here's my heep PC240008

new steering

so here's my heep P5300017

i have just the slightest hint of bumpsteer if i hit a really large bump doing 75 mph. my trackbar angle is 1/2 a degree off of my draglink so that's what's causing my bumpsteer. i need to build a support for my tierod still so it doesn't flop around because of the bends i had to put on the ends to clear my diff cover and coil buckets.

well that's where i'm at so far. more to come in the future i guess

future mods...

a stereo since it doesn't have 1 and i have all kinds of left over stereo stuff in my closet from past stereo builds. gonna build a few fiberglass enclosures for subs and an overhead pod for rear speakers instead of putting them in the back hatch.

aluminum roof rack...have to buy a spool gun for my welder first

rear bumper with swing out tire carrier for my spare

aluminum cooler and rod holder to fit in either the front or rear hitch

abunch of lights front and rear

dual battery setup

new paint

strip and paint the undercarriage and probable bed liner it....need to buy or rent a soda blaster and possibly a vehicle rotisserie or just build my own since my next projects gonna either be a 67 chevelle or a 60's camaro

onboard air system

anything else i can think or.....

ok so ya'll wanted some pics

so i had to do some rust repair

so here's my heep P5300009

so here's my heep P5300011

so here's my heep P5300010

those were just the worst spots.....and yes that is my muffler you see in the 3rd pic. now it looks like this

so here's my heep PC240043

so here's my heep PC240044

so here's my heep PC240046


finished my axles and they ended up like this

so here's my heep PC100038

hmm guess i never got a finished pic of the rear axle....oh well it's not there anymore anyways.

so a couple weeks ago big4x4ride sold me a ford 44 for cheap and bigevil offered me a 14b ff for even cheaper and well i was having engine troubles so i decided to sell my axles so i could do my engine right and quit half assing it so here's my new stuff

pure beef
so here's my heep PC240041

and some almost beef
so here's my heep PC240042

these make me happy in the pants.....


also picked up some stock dodge 1 ton aluminium wheels from jeepking for a reasonable price

so here's my heep PC240045

i hate cleaning shiny stuff so they're gonna get painted black as soon as i can

i completely bedlined the interior to quiet down my noisy ass tires until i can get some km2's

well tha brings us up to date i guess. next weekend i'm gonna start cutting crap off my axles and start setting everything back up...again

ok so i'm finally getting back to work on this piece

so pics as it stands now

so here's my heep IMAG0013

so here's my heep IMAG0014

my old skid plate/ link brackets

so here's my heep IMAG0015

that made life alot harder then it needed to be. anytime i needed to get to the tranny or tcase i had to drop the entire front suspension so now the suspension is seperate from the new skid plate....still to be designed

my new brackets...i must say having your own press brake makes life alot easier

so here's my heep IMAG0018

so here's my heep IMAG0017

so here's my heep IMAG0016

had to sleeve the unibody so it doesn't get crushed

so here's my heep IMAG0019

tomorrow i need to figure out how to get around this issue

so here's my heep IMAG0020

sorry about the crappy cell pics my camera's dead

after thinking about it a little i think i'm going to leave it as a 3 link instead of 4 linking the front like i originally was planning on. should cause fewer issues and no binding. so tomorrow it's time to stick the front axle back under it and start cutting links.

maybe i'll also get my new seats swapped in as well

well the 44's finally under the front although it's just temporary since i need to blast and paint it. i need to get the motor back in it so i can check clearances with the oil pan and measure for my bump stops and figure something out for the track bar. i may end up building a new frame side bracket for it but that won't be decided for a little bit yet

proof

so here's my heep IMAG0005

and after alot of grinding i ended up with this

so here's my heep IMAG0006

it's not perfect but i'm not really a body man and the lines are close enough that after primer and paint you won't be able to tell the difference

decided to build a cowl induction hood today but i ran outta gas after my regulator blew so until i get a new regulator and a refill i'll finish it up

so a couple months ago i tried some of the paint remover in a can....didn't work very well and this is what it did for me

so here's my heep IMAG0009

so after an hour with my da sander

so here's my heep IMAG0010-1

here's the shape i decided to go with

so here's my heep IMAG0011-1

little grinder lovin and this is what i ended up with. i decided to leave the area where the hood seals up against the cowl intact for structural reasons and to keep that nice rolled edge. so i'll need to go cut up a junkyard hood to lengthen the cowl to the correct proportions.

so here's my heep IMAG0013-1

managed to get it all tacked together with the new sides just before the regulator blew.

so here's my heep IMAG0014-1

couple other views

so here's my heep IMAG0015-1

so here's my heep IMAG0016-1

i still need to shape the front of the hood and add some supports for the middle and to get the stock shape back in the cowl area.

most people for some reason cut up the frame which really weakens the hood so here's proof it can be done without cutting the frame

so here's my heep IMAG0017-1

will add more when i get it done
