So i've finally gotten a lot of the driveability issues taken care of in my jeep and I'm getting ready to do some fun things now.
Here's what i have:
82 cj 7 renegade
SBC 305 with a holley 600 cfm 4 four barrel
Dana 300
Dana 30 front open
AMC 20 rear lock right and Moser one piece axle shafts
4.10 gears f&r
31x10.50x15 Mud kings on 15x8 steel wheels
TJ rear flairs and I have one tube fender complete I need to finish the other one
I'm trying to decide what i want to tear into next. I figure between the tube fenders and the tj flairs i should be able to easily clear 33" ltb's, tsl's, or maybe Pitbull rockers. I also have a set of 15x10 chrome wagon wheels that I think I'd like to try to turn into beadlocks with the BTF DIY beadlock kit.
My exhaust is currently a rigged together dual exhaust with cherry bomb glass packs. I was tossing around the idea of doing headers (hedman?) but not sure if it's going to be worth it performancewise. Also when I have my exhaust done right should I stick with duals or just do 2.25" or 2.50" single with a magnaflow or flowmaster muffler.
The next area that needs attention has been making me think a lot. My leaves are pretty well spent and need replaced. I want to eventually ( maybe 2 years or so) go to linked suspension front and rear with full widths. For the meantime I'm torn between coverting to YJ springs or just using some stock-2.5" CJ springs. I don't want to dump a lot of money into this suspension set up since I want to do linked suspension later but I don't want to waste money on junk that won't last me a year or two.
I have some another small things that need attention such as adapting my e brake from the 82 cj7 to the 77 cj 5 rear drums that I'm using. I'm tossing around the idea of using a hand brake out of a car instead of the foot pedal. I also want to twin stick dana 300 which i've been told is pretty straight forward.
Basically I just want some opinions on all this and potential problems I'll run into. thanks guys
