Mid-Illini Jeepers

Finally making progress again. The seats should be in by the end of the week and I began the motor wiring tonight. Didn't get to far though, the power went out.

The OHV grant program was created as part of the Recreational Trails of Illinois Act. This Act stipulated that all-terrain vehicles and off-highway motorcycles purchased after January 1, 1998 must apply for a certificate of title. A portion of these funds are to be used for grants for public riding ...

there will be 2 or 3 coming from carlinville. will meet everyone at the campground.

Well after a lot of help from Jon, Randy, Eric and Dad I have a cage in the 6. Thanks to all that lent a hand. Here are some pics. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/fourtrail/100_0603a.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/fourtrail/100_0598a.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/fourtrail/...

there is now three master cyclinders hanging from the firewall and I have rear brakes. Will try to get some pics this weekend.

Correct, the air cleaned is the one off of the old Ram. The chevy is for the K-5 Blazer that Scott is working on.

When i bought it from Dr. Dirt it was a 'legal titled vehicle'. It will be titled as a 1974 cj-6. I am looking at the title and vin now. Here are the promised pics. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/fourtrail/100_0595a.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y29/fourtrail/100_0592a.jpg http://i2.pho...

got the new body today. will pos some pics soon.

Okay, it may still brake, but not as easily as a stock type carrier.

#5 Randy's ring and pinoin now offers a 30 spline full spool for the 60. This would solve the new carrier for the lower gears and will never brake.

We all should have waited to place a bulk order of 38" swampers. May have saved a few dollars with all the sets that are appearing on club vehicles. Yeah go with the swampers.

Steel is real. Went with steel. When, not if, I hit something I want to be able to beat the dent back out, not pick up a handful of fiberglass.

THE TUB HAS BEEN ORDERED

Dad rebuilt the motor in his Jeep. i am still working on building the '6. Winter project that is turning into a spring project, but hopefully not a summer project.

The jeep will definately be a "trail" vehicle, but I want to do it right the first time as much as possible so it will have a long life (can't afford to do another one anytime soon). :? I am going to order a new body this week. Hope to already have the major fab/alterations done, don't wan...

Well, thing went faster than expected this past weekend. Bolted the motor back to the trans and t-case after installing a new clutch. It was still early in the afternoon so being the REDNECKS that we are, bungee corded a radiator to the frame set up a box fan for cooling and fired the 318 up after w...

Trans and t-case now cleaned and ready to go back in. Got all the clutch parts and ordered a radiator on friday. Hope to fir the motor next weekend.

Front axle is now reassembled and it is finally sitting on all 4 tires now. Got the motor painted and ready to go in. Hope to have the trans ready thursday and get the clutch ordered. Hope to have it running by next weekend. Once it is running I get to order a tub.

I have a spare 27" tv if you need it, just need to turn it on and see if it still works. FREEBEE.

Looks good.

Seems to be working now. Finally got it to log me in automatically.

If it was a properly designed axle and the pinoin came in above centerline like almost all other rear axles you wouldn't have a problem blowing out u-joints.

Jon, a lot of cars came with 9" axles. so he will probably not have a problem with bolt pattern size.

Hey Jon, how much was the t-case adapter and bellhousing to put in that T-18. Ha Ha

Front axle is back in, now if I can get the machine shop to finish the knuckles I may actually be able to roll it around again.
