This won't be a build thread, but I'll try to post a few pics here and there. We'll that, and probably ask questions, since a lot of this old stuff is pretty well out of my knowledge base, despite the fact that I've always loved flat fenders. Aka, the last real jeep made
I don't know a whole lot, but he says it's a 47, original drivetrain besides, obviously the engine, front lockrite and a suzuki disc brake kit.
My wife and I drove it around the block, in 3rd gear pinned she hit 16 mph..... Obviously low range, but I'm guessing 1:1 3rd and 5.38s with the diesel isn't going to be a highway cruiser.
So far his plans are pretty minor. Get a basic cage, he wants beadlocks for some reason I sent him the basset light wieght circle track wheels. He said he may throw another lunchbox in the back. It has the old round cover rear end (D41?) but came with a D44. I told him to use the D44 if he's going to lock it.
Any suggestions on how to improve ride? I guess the PO already pulled a few leafs. They look stock, except it sits higher than a stock one. Any suggestions for a mild lift spring that rides better? My go to is ome/arb, but I don't think they go back that far.
