Phil's '88 Big Blue Build Thread

Overview Gallery Discussion
Thank you! I'm extremely happy with it. I grin like a fool every time I drive it.
 
Also used my Currie tire deflator and 12V compressor today, they did great.

 
Nah, everybody did fine. The Cherokee trailhawk just in front of me had to back up and hit things a few times, but that was it.

I cut a wider swath than everybody there though. lol.

 
I also picked this up. I'll throw it in the rear for now. I still have my 14 bolt, but it may be awhile before I do the whole conversion thing.

 
It went really well, I was proud of it. Had a lot of folks gathering around checking it out, many had never seen one with a manual trans before.

Went through some decently rough stuff, the 35's didn't rub at all, which I was happy about. I do need to ditch the rear blocks and do a shackle flip though. I'm thinking of going to a 33 gallon tank, so I'll probably do both at the same time.

Hand throttle?

No, just a 465.

You take a brake lever and cable off of a bmx, mount it to the shifter. Run the cable down thru where the PTO hand throttle would tie into the pedal.

Works great on nasty inclines, also on bumpy roads where your foot tries to bounce on the pedal
 
Wow, this is great! I'm not sure where it is supposed to tie to the pedal, got a pic? I'll go take a look in a bit, maybe it will be self explanatory.
 
Hooks to the throttle linkage on the throttle body.

Much more necessary on a carbureted rig.

I run them on the tunnel and hook them to the pedal. This way if something goes wrong, you can still pull the pedal back with your foot. The bicycle cables need to be changed out depending on usage. My friends wore out in about 6 months and started eating through the housing. Got stiff to work.
