PIC down a few threads

Thought I would go ahead and post up.

I have an 80 J10 longbed. Just did the body work and painted it gunmetal metallic. Has Rhino grille conversion. Dana 60s front and rear (4.10s....open for now). BJs Offroad custom prototype winch bumper.

Heres whats going in. 4BTA, NV4500, dana 300, NP205. Previous owner put the 60s in......front is a dynatrac:smokin: with drivers side drop. To get it to work, he used a divorced ford 205 case to feed the front. By running the above layout and putting a short driveshaft between the d300 and 205, I have a cheap doubler. And a final drive ratio of 119:1:smokin: Oh yeah, recentered 12 bolt hummer wheels with Goodyear 36s. Cheap and easy to replace.

Im going for an expedition style vehicle I can drive daily, off road, in Uganda, whatever. What do yall think?

Currently need the ctd 4x4 nv4500 and p30 motor mounts. If you have a bead on either...shoot me a message.

Ill post truck as it sits now if you like.

I'd like to see it !

I definately want to see this

Sounds like a cool project. I to would like to see some pictures of it. My only sugestion (from experience) is to replace the rear output shaft of the dana 300 with a good aftermarket one. These are known for breaking especially when you double up on t cases. Then putting a torquee little diesel infront of it you are waiting for disaster. Remove that weak link and you should be pretty bullet proof.
Good luck hope it helps.

Are you still needing a CTD Nv4500?

Thanks

looks great!!

how much modification was needed to install the cummins setup? i have a 78 wagoneer that i'm considering a swap and it seems like most folk need to do quite a bit of lift mods - which i'm not all too worried about, i already have a SOA w/ 1 tons.

oh yea - off topic - is that a BJs Prerunner front bumper?

4B isnt in yet. as soon as I get the trans, Ill have it put in. The dimensions of the 4b are smaller than the 6.2 that is in there. I dont anticipate any problems there. Ill try and dig the dimensions of the 4b up if that helps!

That'd be great - I just started a thread about the 4/6BT differences as I'm trying to decide which would be a better fit for the wagoneer.

I would also be concerned about the D300 output. However, instead of putting money into the D300, why not just do the tried and true NP203-NP205 married doubler? It would be much stronger and would probably cost about the same as an aftermarket D300 output with the modified shaft to connect the D300 to the NP205.

 

[tndonor]

why not a married doubler

the dana 300 32 spline output shaft cost me 265 new(I should have mentioned this way up there.....the stock output is weak and needs attention). i can have the driveshaft that is in now cut down and balanced for 45. It will be 300 for the adapter input gear. True I can go the married doubler for the same $, but I am going with the expedition theme. One of the "tricks up my sleeve" is to center the divorced case so My driveshafts are the same length...... then I can carry one spare shaft and Im good for either one breaking:grinpimp:


It probably doesnt make much sense to most.....thats ok.......thats what makes our rigs different and "ours".

 

[boondockster]

Cool, I didn't realize the D300 was already upgraded. Having your F & R driveshafts being the same is definitely nice when it comes to carrying spares. Good luck with the truck.

wetting the appetites

Its been a while so here is what has happened. CrewCab59 is doing the conversion. I was going to drive the truck to his place, and it throw a rod and cracked the block. The sorry 6.2 knew its fate was sealed and it proteseted being replaced.

Motor and everything else that needs to be removed is out. Its assembly time! Weather permitting Saturday, I should have some pics of the motor in the truck for fitting!

Postings and progress should be more frequent so stay tuned!

 

[JAFO]

truck is looking great. My wife wants something like this...

 

[DarylB]

Sweet truck

Update

There is now a 13 inch south bend living on the cummins! My stock CPL ratings were 350 TQ. Any adjustments beyond that would push the 400 TQ clutch I had to go in it. Bit the bullet and did it right fro the start.

trial fitting

Here are some pics of the first trial fittings. I am going to need a 6b manifold capped to make it a high front mount (if you can do this, send me a pm.....I got $$$$ in hand). The nice thing about a Rhino Grille is I can remove it and work on the front of the motor without pulling it

 

[66gaza]

Truck looks real nice, I see you are doing it right, Fleetguard filters SBC which one by the way? You even have the inline pump (me too). I must be a wimp cos it looks cold to me. Keep the pics comming, are you using a dodge nv4500?
