I was unhappy with my suspension the way it was so I decided to start over. Coilovers, OX locker, and 35 spline crome molly inner shafts up front. Spool, and 35 spline crome molly shafts in the rear.

Johnathon very nice.... Keep the pics coming....


What Kind of Job can a coonass get to spend that kind of money?? :lol:

Are you an aligator wrestler or Swamp tour guide???

:lol: :lol: :thumbsup:

Those sub frame mounts are sweet!

Cool pics, one question: what's a "coon ***"?

COon A$$ is a person that lives in South Louisiana... Usually of Cajun decent...(Cajun means French Canadian) Last name Like Tibidoux Boudreau
Monceaux are a dead give away .. That you are dealing with a Coonass... :thumbsup:


Think Water Boy... Assistant football Coach and Bobby Bouchea himself .

And Joe Dirt ."Home is where you Make it." Guy....

South Louisiana version of a Redneck... :lol:

Most of us are oddly proud of the fact that we are named after an animals backside... :?




Noone knows why...

:lol:

I wish my driveway looked like that!
So does this mean I should be looking in the for sale section for what you took off?

Monceaux ur a fawkin coon!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Like how I threw my own name in.... :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:

Are those 16" CO's?

Are those 16" CO's?

Yes Sir. I have made little to no progress do to work (Production Well Tester).

Cajun is mispronouncation of Acadian and eventually was accepted into the English language. Nothing to do with French Canadian. I don't know who told you that, but they are wrong.

"Cajun n. A member of an ethnic population of South Louisiana descended from French exiles from Acadia. [alteration of Acadian]"

This is what the American Heritage dictionary say. Acadia is/was located in Eastern Canada and North East USA. Namely Main and Nova Scotia.

Noone had to tell me ... I am one... Notice I live in New Orleans and my last name is MONCEAUX....

:lol: :thumbsup:

I am pretty sure I know what a Cajun is..


Oh and just for the hell of it ... I googled it and found this...

cay-jun) -- Nickname for Acadians, the French-speaking people who migrated to Louisiana from Nova Scotia


I rest on your face.... Ummmm I mean I rest my case.. :lol: :lol: :thumbsup:


Carl Monceaux

"googled" Man I am a young guy who is living in the past. My stupid a$$ went dig up a dictionary. Sounds like something a coona$$ would do. :lol: :lol:

In my face... nah, we were both close. I am Acadian BTW.
Know those "crepes" you guys have? Well those used to be "ployes" which is kinda like a buckwheat pancake. Just the crepes are thinner. A Louisanna Cajun once upon a time was an Acadian.

:thumbsup:


Now ..Back on topic...Rechard What have you done to it lately..
Any new progress??

not much more. I bolted up the rear axle and was not happy with its position. I want it moved back more. Can I send you some pics to post for me?

By all means... Email away...

Deltaswampy@gmail.com :thumbsup:

When I sent the pics I got a message saying that the pics where sent. Then I got a e-mail saying deliveray has failed permanently. What happened?

Try again.. This time use... carbar42@bellsouth.net :thumbsup:

Got em... :thumbsup:

Looking good... very nice job... :thumbsup:

First pic:
Does anyone think my brake caliper bracket will tear off? I am kind of nervous about that. There is no disk brake conversion kit for this 60. I bought the mounting "plates" and made them fit the easiest way possible. Then dug through Auto Zones brake rotors to find one with the correct back spacing.


The last pic:
In this pic you can see that the front arms are much longer than the rear (36" vs 42"). Those square arms will be cut and welded to make a rear shock hoop that will most likely go through the floor.


I just finished removing the rear upper spring perches (factory ones). I had to quite for the night. The mosquito's were kicking my @$$!! Tomorrow I have to figure out where and how to re-mount them.

Thanks again swampy.

No problem.. I think the brakes will be fine.. Keep up the good work..

Oh and make sure you get some good pics of the shock hoops I am giving that some serious thought I need long travel shocks but dont have the room for them.. SO thru the floor is the easiest way... :thumbsup: :lol:

Got new pics from R..

Dropped a Tom woods shaft on my tootsie... Crushed the bone and hurt like poop... :lol:

Now I wear boots in the shower... :lol:

I'm crying for you.

Hey Rechard , Any idea if a SM 465 will bolt up to a 5.2???

I destroyed my 46Rh and I am looking to go beefier..
And manual at the same time....:D

Worried that these are going to bind at all:
:eek:
http://images.igloos.ca/d/69370-1/0175034-R1-020-8A.jpg

other than that, looks good.. have you run the numbers yet (4 link calc)?

Sorry Swampy, I have no clue.

GoingOffRoading. The upper control arms do bind at a certain point, but the coil springs fall out before any binding takes place. I will use my shocks as limiting straps so as I don't lose my springs. What do you mean by 4 link calc?

There's a couple calculators on POR that you download and run using excel... you input the length and location of the links and the calc spits out numbers for anti-squat, roll center and a ahndful of other things

http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2127422160

few more pics, and what I did to move my rear axle back five inches.

GoingOffRoading, I looked high, low, under, and inside POR for that cal you talked about but did not find it. Do you have a link?

Today I am trying to install the front coilovers. I think a shock hoop is the easiest way. Does someone have a better idea? Usually I would not ask for help, but with Grand Slam Southeast coming up I don't have time for pride. It has to be finished and tested, soon!!!

You might want to hit up "tommy" on MallCralwin.com (I don't know if that is his SN here), also "ROKNZJ". They both have coilovers and I am sure they could help you out.

I could be wrong but I think like .250 Dom bent like a shock hoop and then trussed to hell would work out ok.

I am unsure of: A) Where to connect the hoops B) how and where to relocate the components that are on the finder wall.

The 5.2L engine is cramed in there with very little extra space.

this is how I moved my rear axle back 5 inches

Drilled out all those plug welds
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=39

Filled in all the holes with a mig, then grinded smooth
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=40

I cut the factory bracket and welded it in a peace of 4x6 angle iron. Two 1/2 inch bolts and some spot welds should hold these in place

Round tubing does look better

This new NAGCA setup is awsome!! I can upload all my pics right into my gallery then past them here. Awsome!!

Axle moved back with 36" tire

My front shock hoops.
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=46
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=47

now all I have to do is put an axle under them. [smilie=bal_ask.gif]

both hoops are done, onto the axle
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=98

Quit posting and get that thing done for GSSE! :lol:

lol. went to bed at 2 am this morning, no sleep tonight

wow looking nice..might have to head up to GSSE just to see this thing

My old tires are 36x12.5, and my new tires are 38.5x15. Not much of a difference. Can you see the time? 4:40 am, yes this is correct.
http://www.nagca.com/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=104

All I have to do is fill her with oil and bolt on the drive shafts and she is ready to go. I finished in time to attend GSSE, but other B.S. has prevented me from going. I went from a super high to an unbelievable low.

Aw you dont have to tow it. We'd love to have ya, but if you can't make it I guess I'll just catch you at the next one.

Cam

I'm interested in your winch set-up. Any pics? I'm planning a project like that, and I'm comparing what I've seen so far. Not that you aren't quite busy enough as it is. Thanks.

Not that you aren't quite busy enough as it is. Thanks.

It's no trouble. This is not a good set up however. If anything this can show you what not to do. The worst thing I did was leave the AC condenser exposed, and now it has a hole in it :banghead:

hey reshard, i'm guessing you made that front bumper yourself. i like it, nice and simple, yet functional. you dont by any chance have a sketch of that or blueprints or something you might have drawn up do you?

i'm guessing its probably just in your head, if thats the case, post up some more pictures of it if you got em, i'd love to get a good look at it. thanks!

yea and tell us what not to do in that setup...besides the condensor...

I don't know if you guy's can tell, but all I did was take the mounting plate that came with the winch, welded it to the front of the Jeep and then welded a peace of 1/4" plate under it (at an angle). If I were smarter I would have figured out a way to bolt it to the front of the Jeep. If I needed to remove this thing for some reason I would have to cut it off with plasma or grind for hours. So: A. Make sure condenser is protected B. bolt it on instead of welding it on

is that the harbor frieght winch for 299??i plan on buying that winch with the plate and do exactly what you did and turn the condensor sideways. ill finsih off the bumper as time goes on...and will bolt it to the frame rails with 2x4 steel.Thanks for the tips

is that the harbor frieght winch for 299??

Yes it is. I can't say for sure how dependable it is because I have not used it much. I know that it is very slow.

Thanks for the tips

No problem!!

yeah it is very slow but i have used one steadily winching for about 15 20 min and didnt get hot so it is dependable

I wish I would have installed the hydroboost bake kit before I installed the shock hoops. I had to move my intire brake system. I shifted everything over about 3 1/2 inches.


A full hydro steering kit went in with the hydroboost kit. I know the steering cylinder is in the worst spot possible, but I don't have a tube bender (saving for a GOOD one) and If I pushed it up any more it hits the trac bar.
