Jimmy rebuild thread

Good stuff, I will kiss

It sounds like ktmoutfront sucks to wheel with unless you just like to fix other peoples stuff.

hes fun to wheel with, if it doesn’t go up move over a foot and try again.

It comes down with getting bored and trying new things.

It’s always very memorable, and that to me equals a lot of fun.

We tighten the transfer case bolts when it’s on the door

Easy access but challenging fluid check.

Maybe that’s why mine are always loose

Very common on the 241/auto applications

I'm just gonna say that I hope it's getting a diesel swap!

Not towing. Will be towed.

Diesels aren't just for towing you know.

Considering his advanced age, I was guessing wide white wall tires, along with dropping the ride height so he doesn’t break a hip to get in and out of it.

My hope is an infusion of straight sheetmetal and horsepower.

Close. Allot of sheet metal removed for fiberglass. And BBC ponies.

Now we finally know why he put the wing on the Tonka truck.....more aerodynamic when hes towing the Jimmy to the drag races

 

[ktmoutfront]

No need for flaired fenders on the front with drag skinnier. Rears will get prerunner flairs so I can use the existing Currie 9+ rear end.

Don't forget the curb feelers. Do they have curbs in TN ?

No. We do not even have shoulders on our roads.

So what’s the plan 4wd digs or dump the 10 bolt for a gasser style solid axle? I’m picturing Frieburgers Dragoneer for some reason.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I have not seen the dragoneer.
I will have straight panels for once. All fiberglass, including the doors.
Prerunner rears to cover the fatties in back.

It’s a new build, one of the last from roadkill garage. But it’s a late 60’s wagoner with a blown LS, 9” rear, and gasser style solid front axle on leafs. Hangs the front wheels and I think was in the 9’s on its shakedown runs.

9 hours, round trip tomorrow, for all of this.
