Geezer Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Yeah,we're waiting for the tires and then some driveshafts and it's mobile.Once all the lines, wiring and stuff is in then I'll put the floor in and mount the new suspension seats.

Geezer Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 So we got the tons mounted.Put a Lincoln Locker in the rear. and we started mounting the tires.The old rims were 8x6.5" bolt pattern and the new axles are 8x170mm.So I cut the center out of the rim,made spme new centers using the front rotors as a pattern.Welded them in and "VOILA" ,they fit now. This thing is gonna be a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattX Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Nice looking rubber.... :P Where did you order them from and how much a tire were they? I was hoping that Dartmouth Surplus would start carrying them as they were looking for a line of offroad tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnjeep Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Nice work Guys !!!Think I'm going to have to make some harder trails for next years Crawl!! What's the rear axle? Rue Yeah a DANA 80. The thing is frickin' huge when you look at it in person. Makes my 14 bolt look anorexic by comparison! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rue Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 WOW an 80!!!I thought that it might of been a Steriling with te the tone ring on the charrier for the ABS. Rue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I worked on the doubler tonite (sorry no pics,camera died).Got the reduction box all cut down and the adapter plate started.It sure takes a wile to cut a 5" hole thru 1/2"plate.Figured out the measurements for the shaft and sent that to the machine shop.I was planning to use another 1356 t/c but it was to wide for the frame rails, so we took the 205 apart and modified the case to have the shift rails come out the back.It was a lot easier than I thought it would be.Next time I'll take some pictures of it back together, I hope.

Geezer Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Worked some more on the doubler.We had to cut some more off the 1356 case and clock it back to the original location.Transfered the 205 bolt pattern to the plate and figured out how to align the whole thing.more to come next week.
