Intro...

[edaddi]

Signed up earlier, just thought I'd introduce myself. Somebody gave me a 390 I’d like to build up and stick into my ’76 CJ5. This will be my first time doing an engine rebuild so I’ve been reading up. My head is spinning from reading all the AMC build up topics.

Good stuff. :?

Hey! Welcome abord! Just keep a lookout for MC's new attack pet. You can't miss it! It's a vicious snarling venomis beast with fangs, OH my GOD!! those huge saber-tooth FANGS!!! I shudder just thinking about it.

So how do you like those boggers? I am debating between those and 38X15 baja claws. Decisions, decisions!

I'm a mud and trails kinda guy, so I love the boggers, there are a milions times better than the skinny TSLs that the PO had on it, but it was pretty much stock then. I'm running them on 8" rims...so I can take them doen to 8PSI with no problems....yet :wink:

Right about here I realizd that I'm gonna need some good eye (heh...face) protection....

Nice rig, that is exactly how I make my spring hangers for full size axles..

[Lifted79CJ7]

Hey, what size lift springs are you using? Looks like maybe 2.5"?
Thanks,
Jack

[edaddi]

THe fronts were put on by the previous owner, but I believe they are 2.5". The rears are the rears from a J20.
