I custom machine your parts or ideas

[jeepsr4ever]

I have open machine time on all cnc's if anyone needs some machining done, I am also a master machinist with a bridgeport, let me know here or email me at jeepsr4ever@yahoo.com

[Trusty258]

Dont need any machine work done, but i hadda comment on the Stompers. Ive got an Old Orange CJ7 Renegade that I used to play with all the time. I think ive still got it. I dont hink i would have thrown it out. Its got MUCHO sentimental value. Ive also got Two AMC Eagle Stompers. I just hadda have them

Nice jesse i wish i still had some stompers :oops:

Have you ever thought about about copying the Warn spindles or hubs? They're getting a small fortune for these conversions, and they have the market on them. The initial set up would be costly, but once the computer is set up, I think the cost per could be reasonable. Just a thought and probably a waste of your time. Doesn't hurt to ask?

[jeepsr4ever]

their are soo many improvements to make in this area, tons and lots of sloppy stuff ive seen too! but i will be taking a look into lots this sunday, thanks for the suggestion

[Migzilla]

How much would you charge to make a carb adapter for a stock amc 4350 4 barrel manifold to a square bore manifold? I'm thinking either alunimum or plastic.

[jeepsr4ever]

im not sure if i could make them cheaper than edelbrock, i think they sell them for 30 bucks! thats pretty cheap for the machining, but if your interested i could always try

[Migzilla]

The reason I'm asking is that the only person I've found that makes it is TD performance (aka transdapt) and the only place I can find to buy it is summit and the want 46.99 :shock: which isn't very cheap. It isn't the standard Q-jet spreadbore which is where the problem begins. If you want to see a good example of both the manifold and the adapter plate here a good site.

Well tell me what you think.

[jeepsr4ever]

i wonder if the adaptor could be made and use countersunk socket head cap screws, could almost measure from 2 separate gaskets, i wonder about that

[Migzilla]

well i you could make something like this that didn't cost so much. you be doing us a great service. in the current situation you have three choices an new manifold and carb or a adapter and a new carb and last is to stick with what you got.

[jeepsr4ever]

i will check to see what i have for gaskets and do some thinking this weekend.ok maybe i could make it for $34.........i dunno

[Migzilla]

what if you used a premade 4 hole carb spacer and honed it out to fit it. then all that you need is the measurement for the manifold holes. Just an Idea I want to throw out there.

[heyjavelin]

I'm looking for an adapter to separate the plenum of a torker manifold (right bank from left bank). Do you think you could make one? I made one myself 15 years ago but no longer have access to a machine shop. I could draw some designs if that would help :lol: .

[jeepsr4ever]

i can make it if you have a drawing. email it to me or mail it jeepsr4ever@yahoo.com

[78304CJ-7]

Decent Aluminum valave covers. I know the one the 4wd.com sells for 119.99 is ok. But I have been thinking of going with an INDY intake and would need a set with a breather/oil filler. not to mention a hole for the PVC grommit. All the ones I have seen are like 300 bucks. And this is whithout the machine work I would need.

-RJ

[jeepsr4ever]

Yup we are going for it in the coming weeks!!! i will send you a pick of the first batch, you can tell me what you think!

[78304CJ-7]

NICE, can't wait. Any idea what they are going to cost? Are they going to be high enough to cover a girdle? Or still low profile? The reason I ask, I am thinking of running a gridle with my build as I am running a roller cam.

Keep me posted I am defenetly intrested.

-RJ

[jeepsr4ever]

The alternator brackets will bring the alternator up about 7-9 inches and yes the valve covers will be tall...........the alternator brackets will be out first, then the valve covers

[AlaskaJeepR]

I would be interested in a set of QUALITY valve covers as well.
I am very impressed with your other work, and look forward to seeing more of it ans owning some as well! :D

[jeepsr4ever]

Thanka alaska, hey your name isnt pete is it?

[AlaskaJeepR]

No, It's Joe. Why, do you know a Pete here in the Greatland?? :?:

[jeepsr4ever]

actually my cousin pete in in alaska dont know where but he has a cj8 postal jeep up there

[AlaskaJeepR]

well there are a few of them up here... :lol:

How about a custom fuel block off plate for those who use electric fuel pumps. :idea:

[jeepsr4ever]

hey i make those already, like i said, i need to get pics of my stuff on the site before i go bankrupt........no joke

[Migzilla]

I there a way you could make a really tough thermostate housing that doen't look like swiss cheese after a while. I think I posted this before. I can't wait to see the valve covers your making. I hoping to get one of your oil fill tubes and oil cap when I have money. You have any with 360 on it.

[jeepsr4ever]

I do make and sell caps with the 360 logo
I am making water necks soon
It is good to hear from you again

[Scratch]

I've been thinking about using one set of tires and wheels for my CJ2A and my 03 Wrangler. Problem is... the old Jeep is 5 on 5.5 and the new one is 5 on 4.5.
I've seen these adapters before, can you make them?
How safe are they gonna be?
How much would they cost?
So many questions...
So little money...

[jeepsr4ever]

Scratch i hear you about the money thing, thats why i started doing this stuff, i guess a set of adaptors would set you back $240 from me but i make them out of billet T6061 and they have grade 8 studs pressed in, you may be able to find a set of cast ones cheaper, although i dont know where to look. The ones i make are set up to be the safest wheel spacers on the market. It is in how you use the studs or in my case i use bolts, grade 8 bolts. Let me know if i can help you out with the adaptors

[AlaskaJeepR]

Hey MC, How about a set of tall valve covers that the top cover comes off so you don't have to remove the whole valve cover to check lash?
I think I have seen ones like that for SBC.

[jeepsr4ever]

I cannot comment...LOL we are making protos next week

[AlaskaJeepR]

OHHHH, I understand. If you told me you's have to kill me! :lol:
Well, whatever you do, I look forward to seeing it!! :twisted:

The ones I've seen were made from 6061 also. I can't remember the cost but it's comparable enough to where I'd rather buy from you so, I'll be in touch...
When my checkbook gets to full...

[Dave Tickenoff]

What happened to the valve covers.

[Holeshot]

Here's a cam thrust setup for V8s that goes for over $200 with a crank sprocket, chain, and a thinned cam sprocket:

http://www.american-powersports.com/dave/image/amx/tech/cam_thrust.jpg

Other ideas include a timing chain cover w/o oil pump & fuel pump provisions; a "reverse-flow" cooling sys mod so the cooled water goes first to the heads and out the bottom and pushed up thru the radiator.

Well tell me what you think.


I got mine from CSK auto ( www.partsamerica.com ) and it was $24 plus the gaskets and spacer plate (covers the extra holes)

[Holeshot]

What ever happened to the deep aluminum valve covers idea?

[junkyard jim]

How about an adapter so I can run old school 8 lug rims on my 5 on 5.5" front axle (till I get my front axle swapped) I'm looking at $65 for a pair of rims right now!

[jeepsr4ever]

those are $60 ea plus shipping...we already make em

[P700]

Are you still making those billet under pulleys and how much are they? If so, I would like one for a 360 and also have you thought about making the fan/waterpump pulley as well?

[craigparrish]

have you ever thought about wholesale selling parts to jc whitney, 4wd hardware, quadratec, summit and other retailers? i was so surprised to look through the forum for the first time and wished i'd known about it when i needed the parts.

[jeepsr4ever]

P700 - we do have the under drive pulleys available and have full pulley sets coming out soon with serpentine pully sets on the R&D board.

Craig - we are so new that we have only been approached by a few resellers like 4wd.com and quadratec. Quadratec wanted stainless steel shackles but we discontinued the stainless line (304 stainless steel eats machine tools and machines) We do have some new products coming out that will hit in some big retailers (AMC HD oil - Bullring shackles - aluminum pulley sets - a new style BT shackle - a couple of hush hush products) We are small but growing on all ends and hope to have our products in alot of major catalogs. This business was originally started to help my father get a retirement and was to be a part time operation only...but things exploded and we are growing at a geometric rate.

[P700]

OK. How do I get one and how much do they cost? Also, did you ever get to making those 360 vent grills and are the alternater brackets available? I'm sorry to bother you with all this,but your products board doesn't have any of these items listed.

[jeepsr4ever]

Never got around to making the 360 vent grills........DOH ALternator brackets are available at $45 a set, underdrive pulleys are $135 shipped

Ive done a WJ knuckle to XJ D30 but still need Drag link and tie rod.

It's a much simpler conversion than everyone lets on if you know which parts

[hssss]

Item two.
Something along the lines of a stock car weight jacker for a TJ as opposed to the ACO$. I have some thoughts and if you would be interested in fabbing I believe you could sell quite a few.
