Not sure what the objective will be yet 0 but having fun playing.
CJ6 in our shed is currrently a few years our of rego and needs some TLC.
Today was spend repairing the floor and fixing the body mounts,

Plans starting to fit together:
Big diffs, 4.0L EFI engine, 5spd Transmission, modern t/case, Small spring under lift, MAYBE a small BL, Big tyres and possibly some bling rims.
Cage ideas flowing, interior, roof, colour etc all starting to make a picture in my little brain

No ACTUAL work done on the project yet....but the new tyres did arrive today

and they would be..........we want pics dude!!!!

Some time spent yesterday working on pulling the XJ engine out (being very careful of the wiring harness since it will be re-used). But didn't have as much time as I would have liked so ill hopefully get the engine out this week.
Today some time was spent clearing the garage around the CJ6 (it's a little buried).
New tyres are 40x13.5r17 MTR.
Will start snapping some pics soon

Steering column was extracted from the XJ tonight - yes I plan to use it in the CJ6 too.....this way I get cruise control

so is it gone yet?

ok.. did some compromising tonight... have agreed to get some lessons driving a manual
... all so that we can go topless this summer

Topless??? Oh dear! You know it makes sense.

yes well.. guess that's what I'll be doing on Sunday... might as well go horse riding

Ok so the current build plan is:

Donated from 94XJ:

• 4.0L engine, with all the accessories (including cruise control). AW4 4Speed Auto, NP242 Transfer case (although this might change in the future).
• The entire wiring harness will be transplanted.
• Currently assessing if the steering shaft, box & wheel can be used (the shaft looks really long).
• Brake Master & pedal assembly.
• Fuel pump module & MAYBE the LPG systems that was fitted to the donor.
• Dash console (if it can be made to look acceptable in a CJ dash) as this would be an easy way to get the all the required gauges - and cheap
• Header & fan assembly - as well as all the Air Cond system - although I am considering relocating the compressor on the engine for better frame rail clearance.

Other aspects of the build:

• Diffs would be the 404 Unimog diffs I've been hording for sometime. Still shopping for extra brake components and really need to be stripped down & referbished.
• Tyres - listed above. Now wrapped in plastic in the shed - waiting.
• Wheels - will probably use custom built mog pattern (6x205mm) centres welded onto a set of cheapish 17" steel rims. The main issue here is ensuring that it's engineerable. more research required before any
• Seating Will probably run TJ seats (I have an extra set in the shed) but would really like to run those MasterCraft units on the shelf. Have TJ rear seat - but this won't fit between the wheelwells - so still looking at that problem.
• Rollcage - got some good plans (I think). A MUST in the build plan but a fair way down the plan schedule.
• Roof / Doors - Have Stock CJ6 Hardtop & doors - would probably like to be able to fit - but ease of removal is vital.

what colour?

Undecided yet. But thinking a matt colour.
The ute is Matt green (not quite olive) so I don't want that colour.
Have LOTS of solor yellow in the garage - but its not matt.....far from it.....
So leaning towards Blue steel (greyish blue) which again we have plenty of, it's matt and just a practical colour.....just not the sexiest - but then again that's part of it's appeal to me
Black is OUT. White is also OUT. Boring........

"New" engine transmission & Transfer case

Gee that's huge how are you ever going to get that thing down the driveway, past those other dead bodies, I mean Jeeps?

Dead Jeeps aren't the problem - its the tree pallets of danged pavers in the way that will be the main problem

my, how long it is!

(thats what SHE said! )

Ok a few pics before work begins in earnst - although I had already done a few things like strip the interior and have started the rust repairs for the floor.

Just playing breifly 2nite.

Not much to report today.
But got the CJ5 hardtop that was sitting on the tub removed & dismantled.
Then removed the tailgate and cleaned out some of the interior.

Only had an hour of tinkering 2nite:
Windsheild removed, bonnet removed, radiator drained & removed.

Spent more time doing other things like dismantling the CJ6 Hardtop and cleaning up - but got the front panels removed on the '6.
Oh yeah got 3 of the 4 bolts holding the bumper into position....spent about 2 hours on the 4th bolts (grinder not at home).....even resolting to the sawzall the bolt still won......tomorrow will be a different outcome when I grab the grinder

You need to fit a stripped down rim and sit it in the 40 and guestimate how much trimming you need! lololol!!!

Nah that's much later in the build plan
Sadly no updates for the past week as I have been too busy helping someone else with their project
