My Weekend Toy......

mikes4x4 · 08-02-2004, 12:58 PM

1978 Jeep Sitting on 35" tires with a 4" Suspension lift. I have been getting in and out from my wheelchair (Quickie Ti) for the past year. I have just recently had a Lift made to pick me up and put me in the Jeep. I have more pics to come, I just have to get them from the man that installed the lift. This week I plan to get more pics of me getting in and out (t-11) of the jeep.

On the back end is an ordinary 3 bike, bike rack. When I have some one with me they can place my Quickie Ti (by the axle)on the bike rack. I take the clothe gards off and roho and put them inside the jeep. Only bad thing about the bike rack is I took the jeep to the woods this past weekend and well lets just say it took as long to clean the wheel chair as it did the jeep.

35s will run fine w/ a 4" suspension lift + a 1" body lift. If you're rubbing your 33s, you need to adjust your bumpstops.

mike... looks sweet! that's one heck of a transfer.

I just got the jeep back this past friday. It was in the shop for a week getting the lift put in. Im waiting on the pics, he took step by step pics. Not the best pic of it but just in front of the driver tire is the lift. I put a seat in it and it will lift me up to the seat. then I take the seat out and put a cap in the lift and drive away. I need to get the pics so you can see what I mean. This weekend I plan on doing a step by step like Jesse did. It's been in the shop since early may. I put a new vor tec 350 in it bolted up to a 400 turbo trans and a dana 20 transfer case. If you know your jeeps you would know that the cj-5 never came with an automatic. The automatic was introduced in the cj-7. The cj-7 in 10" longer than the cj-5.

Jesse I don't seem to have any probs with tire rub

Scott, I think I might have transfered about 12 times by my self from my chair to the jeep seat. I have to get the measurements again but I think my chair with the roho sits at 21" and the top of the jeep seat was at 38" or so. I had a strap that came off the roll bar and I would grab it and then just pull myself up. It was a bitch to get in that way. This lift cost just at 6000.00. Thank god for insurance.
