Thanks Guys, yes i have put a lot off hours in this thing...

I have a question regarding power streering pump. I'll be running hydro boost and a hydro assist in the futur, and i have Gm 1 ton pump and a Jeep pump, wich one is better?
I like the jeep pump with it's remote reservoir and serpentine set-up.


thanks

[Dr.Phil]

More work done on the Jeep, the frame is ready to go.

Frame plated

Almost ready to be painted

I've modified my rear shackle hanger to give me more angle on the shackle, to have more down travel and a better ride.

Tomorow, i'll put the engine back in and start on the pluming...

Yes, Nice work on that frame :beer:

 

[Dr.Phil]

Thanks Guys.
And Mud lite, did you mean the pressure hose from the pump to the steering box? I'm running stock gm pump with a hydro boost and a astro box, with the stock hose.

thanks
phil

 

[Dr.Phil]

No hydro assist yet, hydro boost for brake.
But i was planning on putting an extension on the reservoir.

thanks

wasn't sure if it was a stock system or if it had a remote resevoir. If you are running a stock pump with the hydro assist you may need to add a remote resivoir or what I did was just run an extention on the top of the filler. Best way is to cut the top off an old one, weld on an extension tube , then either weld to existing filler or clamp and seal. The ram may be draining the resivoir and you need the extra capacity to run it correctly.

<hijack>Do you happen to have any pics of that mod? I was talking to others and was told that the stock resevoir would be large enough. </hijack>

 

[Dr.Phil]

Thansk Guys, i fix the problem with the power steering...I just add oil, lol.

The plow is almost ready to go on, pics to come.

I'm diggin this build! i've always loved how YJ's look fenderless

 

[polo609]

This is a really sexy YJ, I would trade my xj for it anytime! I love it, but the plow ruins it i think

 

[swhytie]

Really cant wait to see that monster tackle the hills this summer.....

 

[Dr.Phil]

Thanks guys, ya the plow is really ugly, but it does the job real nice, i plow my lane way and a 1km road on the river to my ice shack...can't wait for the summer to take it out in the trails.

cheers
phil
