Here is my plans for my next project. Mainly building for street use, but will take it offroad on CA trails (Rubicon & the like). I want to build something that I can daily drive (I work 10m from house), that I will tow (either trailer or flat-tow) to trails, but then can drive back (when doing a loop).
I've build a few rigs, mainly for off-roading/rockcrawling. Currently wheeling a 62 IH Scout 80 (350SBC on Propane, SM465/NP241/NP205, 1 tons, 39' stickes). Previous drivetrain on Scout was SM465/D18 on D44s with 35s. Plans for this flatty (I apologize if I insult some purists). These are the parts I have for it so far Buick 3800 (from a 92 Buick with less than 5k miles..) T18 (getting from a friend who is going 5 speed. D18 w/OD (bought a few months ago) D44s (From a Wagoneer) Suspension seats, low back Other plans/things I'll be doing: SUA 2.5-3.5" lift (Jeep YJ, BDS springs) PS- standard Jeep box, 1 ton TRE/DL 31-33" tires (haven't figured that out yet) It will be a 1-2 year build. Haven't figured out gears yet (I think they are in the 3s, so that will change). If they are 4.10s, I might leave them and ad lunchbox lockers. Otherwise, probably 5.13s/5.38s, lunchbox with either ARB or Detroit rear. |
