[quote=Lifted79CJ7]Seriously? Want to go shootin' one day? I went shooting with a friend back in college out on his farm. What a blast, we shot all kinds of crap that he and his step father had collected over the years. He also taught me a lot about gun safety as well. The best was this BIG ARSE rifle (bullets were about 3.5" to 4" long) that had a ~70 round barrell clip on it and a spring on the back of the trigger. He also had some other ones that I questioned the legality of, but of course those were the REALLY fun ones. Needless to say my sholder was sore that night. :lo1l: Of course we easily blew over a hundred bucks in ammo, also!

went to a very small town in nevada and for the 4th of july i made
a concoction that was passed on to me from a great uncle who blew up
bunkers or anything else patton needed blown up. no traces of the victim
or the bunker but when i made it we buried it 30 ft under a dry lake
and after shooting lots of illegal fireworks i set off the stump remover!
big mushroom cloud and a 30ft deep by 100 ft wide hole was left :mrgreen: we also unloaded around 4000 rounds of 7.62x39 thru
a mac-90, sks, and a real ak-47 that my uncle gave me for my 10th
b-day :mrgreen: gotta love an automatic!

that is one of the perks of being an instructor you get to use all the weapons and you have profiency ammo for them all and it is legal and all within regs. those are my assigned weapons not personall, you want M203 buy the 37mm in shotgun news take a peek and see what I mean. besides light machineguns get boring that is why i enjoy black powder weapons myself. it is also fun building and repairing all these weapons also.

My friends, I believe that this is the reason god created women, to keep guys from blowing themselves up. Damn I wish I had been there for that nice mushroom cloud. A friend and I made a stick of stuff back in early high school called (I could be wrong) HMTD. That stuff blew a nice little crater in the ground and sent out a nice little shock wave through the neighborhood. Maybe we shouldn't have set it off RIGHT behind our neighborhood.... 8)

P700
Hi guys, I'm P700 aka Chris from Northwest Ohio. I'm currently building a 79 CJ5 from the gound up. I bought a custom frame from Matkins and painted it with three coats of POR-15.a deluxe fiberglass body,4 inch lift,polished alloy Eagle wheels (15X10)mounted with Mickey Thompson 33" Baja radials. It will be powered by a professionally built AMC 360 that will be pushing 300 HP with a T-176 4 speed and Dana 300 t-case. I'm thinking about putting Dana 44 axles under it and could use some guidance in that area. I used to do alot of mudding,but now there isn't anywhere close to go so this will be a show Jeep. The cool thing is I hope to build it pretty,but also able to kick ass if need be.
Mudrat
Hello P700!! Welcome to the delinquents ... er ... ah D-links :-)
Sounds like your doing the right things - but a T-176 behind that much HP may prove to be your weak link if you rod it at all. D44's will have a different bolt pattern than your stock axles - just did that swap myself. Stock is 5x5.5 and my 44's are 6x5.5. (mid-80s cheby).
The D-300 will hold up though :t:
Show truck :shock: Bummer :smile:

I knew I would catch grief for the show Jeep,but I have nowhere to play and it will be a nice eye catcher to cruise around with my wife in.
What tranny would you recommend? I know the T18 is the best,but that is like finding a 401,and the gearing in the T-150 isnt the best for highway use.
I'm going to try and use the D-44's out of an 89 Cherokee will this work,and I was wondering if you could get 5 on 5.5 axles for the D-44's.
Yeah, I always have to do things the hard way. That is why I'm in this room. :t:

Well, you have a concept "show Jeep",
Have you done a plan yet? (list what you want it to have)
Evaluate what you want with what works - sounds like you've started eng/tranny/t-case/axles - don't forget the wiring harnes and the added goodies to make it <gasp>LOOK good <sigh> R U sure you want a gear box over a slush box tranny? Lot'sa automatics out there that fit the AMC bolt pattern . . .
Check the "for sale" board here and other Jeep Boards for parts. If you can help a fellow Jeeper off-load some inventory that's better than buying from corporate America in my opinion.
MC or Fuzz will have the answer to the Cherokee axel and somebody has a T-18 they aren't using I'm sure...

Well I thought I had it all planned out,but then I keep running acrossed better parts and better ideas. I have kicked around the idea of an automatic, and actually have a couple, but to me it ain't a Jeep if you ain't shiftin' it. :?
I have a pallet rack in my barn and one whole shelf is dang near a whole Jeep in pieces(all new except for a scavenged grill). I still need a few things like a wiring harness,seats,and alot of time.
I have alot of used parts I will be getting rid of and I will be parting out the 89 Grand Cherokee. I'm also going to pick up a J10 this weekend that I will be parting out. So if you need anything let me know.
Meanwhile, I will look for a T-18 if you think the T-176 won't hold up.
Thanks for all your help.
Mudrat
If your going to rod it at all the 176 won't hold up long. Long enough to find an 18 but don't wait to put it together. and Yeah, I know just how finding "something better" make the program last longer ;-)
