Hello Sasquach how is your trailer coming out?

 

[Sasquach]

I's coming along good, just got the tires mounted yesterday and working on the wiring yet. Ordered a stencil kit from Larsens and have new data plates coming to make it complete! I will say pounding on the tub was no fun at all, it's basicaly a big steel drumb and very loud hammering out all the dents!

Damn that is looking really nice. Keep the pictures coming.

 

[Sasquach]

Thanks for that! Now that the rain has stopped and I can roll it outside I will get some pics, do we have a trailer build thread?

 

[0822]

I think it might be a good idea to have a trailer thread.

 

[Petescj]

Theres been a few. And I think it would be a great idea to add it to the build forum.

Thanks for that! Now that the rain has stopped and I can roll it outside I will get some pics, do we have a trailer build thread?

It's time for another up-date. Frame is completed new springs,shocks all new bearings seals gaskets, new bolts. Next i will get started on the engine and drive train.

 

[0822]

Yet another up-date. The frame and springs are now complete, we will be working on putting the engine and Transmission back in next. I will keep the pictures coming.

The new engine gasket set has just arrived should be a good weekend to put the engine back together and get it back in the frame. I will post pictures as soon as I get the engine back together.

That is looking beautiful sir! top notch

This is going to be a small up-date but here you go. The motor is going back together with no problems or issuses so here are a few pictures, hoping to have the motor finished and back in the frame next week.

Looking good

Clean and beautiful as we've come to excpect.

One tip , turning that engine around 180 degrees will help with the installation.

 

[0822]

Thanks fo rthe great words. Damn you mean I can't mount that upside down??? More pictures next week.

 

[PetesPonies]

Only problem I see is you started with too much Jeep Man, to find one with so little rust . . .

 

[0822]

It is a very solid old jeep... I spent about a year or so looking for a nice original one that was not all cut up. and this one was once about 10 minutes from my house.

Time for an update. The engine is all back together and back in the frame, need to finish trimming the engine and then we move onto the Transmission . Here's a few new pictures.
