Build Thread Cj8 ground up rebuild
ok back to working on the jeep
just picked up another 8 frame that has new leafs, new 35in bfg's, a half top, new winshield. Also picked up a box of misc parts
$500 (gotta love when people get transfered)

selling the frame, axels and top. and maybe a few other parts and peices
 
So the 350 that i had built in alaska is out of the jeep now and the GM Turbo 400 that i had in it.

The update bought a 2001 Vortec 350 fresh rebuild, hot dipped block and magnafluxed heads with the full harness and computer.

That eleminated me buying a new computer and harness for the 350 Tbi.
 
Tube fenders are in to bad I. Don't have the engine in so I can install them
 
new steering box from redneck ram, and all of the hoses and hydraulics
are sitting in the tub
 
Yet we get to see pics of nothing. :(

You know how we are , lets see it man. Heck we even like seeing boxes of parts. :laugh:
 
to bad i cant upload pictures from my phone
