1969 Jeepster Update

[BFR_Built]

Welded Up!!! Now I need to build the other side.

 

[1Sinner]

Nicely done.

 

[BFR_Built]

Needs new hardware and a recharge and she is ready for Hammers week.

 

[BFR_Built]

Another day, another upgrade. This Goat Built alternator relocation kit is super nice.

You're putting way to much work into this. You should just sell it me


Sweet rig, like the updates

 

[BFR_Built]

Rad little drawing my graphics guy did.

 

[BFR_Built]

New apperal graphic for 2022.

 

[BFR_Built]

Updates just before KOH week.

 

[1Sinner]

Nicely done. Looking good.

Hammers got me. 14 bolt axle shaft twisted right off.

 

[1Sinner]

Ooof!

 

[BFR_Built]

I got some temporary Yukon cut to
Length 4340 axles. I will be having some 40 spline shafts cut by Branik Motorsports next.

Oops, the last person to put hands on this 14 bolt missed tightening these bearing cap bolts down. Spec calls for 135ftlb and these were hand tight. Good news is I caught it. The diff cover also caught it. Haha

That's lucky

Updated to Method 701 Beadgrip Wheels and 40” Xcomp MT’s before a local off road meet up.

How much time you got on them xcomps? Been looking at those too but IDK. Heard tread life was shorter than a radio operator in Nam.

I have 750 miles on them so far. No complaints yet. I am still messing with pressure for highway use. 35 is still a bit to high for my liking.

That thing is bad ass, ready to sell it yet?

Maybe after I update everything. New cage, new engine cage, lowered ride height and new 2.5” Radflos all around.

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

So sick.

 

[BFR_Built]

New tubes going in.

 

[1Sinner]

Those looked fun.

 

[BFR_Built]

Lots to do still.

Why did you change to coilovers? How long are the coilovers?

I didn’t like the performance of the ORI struts. I also didn’t understand how to tune them. Coilovers are proven and easy.

 

[BFR_Built]

More progress.
