Awesome, I have 3 406 mogs, a 46 2a and a 53 3b, always need to find someone with a similar collection

Watched it again. Roll cage is awesome. Bed liner is a great idea on the top edge.

Enjoyed the video, always looking for ways to improve my '46. In 50 years of owning it I've put it through a number of configurations, getting ready for another major redo this summer. I like what you've done with yours! The SM420 and longer, wider springs are things I'm seriously considering.

Had a SM420 in a '73 FJ40. Put it behind a Buick v6 or chevy stovebolt... Just fine-tune the colors on this one. A bigger windshield would be nice too. A bunch of scab plate on the frame. "Do the wiring cleaner" - I can relate.

Nice build. I may copy you passenger grab handles. ;)

@Arkstrikr 7 ай бұрын

They are actually a copy of the handles Phil Hoffman put in DJ Harmon’s original 4500 spec Jeep. One trip and I knew that was the way to go. My wife loves them.

Great Video. Nice jeep. What seats are you using? Where did you buy them?

They are custom PRP low backs with a shorted bottom

How did you design/build your tilt column for your steering? Great Jeep. Thanks for sharing

@Arkstrikr 7 ай бұрын

That’s an old Synergy MFG column, I’m honestly not sure if they make them anymore. I’d have placed it higher into the cage to raise the pivot point

Sweet rig dude. What brand of springs, and what are the measurements from center bolt to each eye? I'm corner weighting my 3B with race car scales to have Alcan Spring build a custom set for each corner. I know longer springs flex better and improve ride quality, so I'm interested in what you have going on before I order mine. Short and thin with multiple leafs are the way to build flexible packs (which is how Alcan builds), but they clap out way sooner. I want to avoid buyers remorse if the Alcans need rebuilt every 2 years.

I had a 47 farmers jeep with pto hydraulic tank on engine and belt drive on the car bumper back in high school 1980 I would have not put a v6 in it I should have rebuilt the flat head. , not cover the body with 2 gallons of bondo I wished that I had painted it the original color of navy blue, pastel yellow wheels with red stripes. hind sight is always 20/20 after 40+ years. one more, I wished I had not have sold it!!
