I love seeing old jeeps rebuilt and brought back to life. Heck who doesn't!?!

[rguignard]

that thing is cool so when is it getting a lift and tires?
wayne how do you like the 33s ?

[BlueXJ]

Very impressive little Jeep. What drivetrain is under it Wayne?

[prerunner1982]

I figured it was a Mahindra since it only said JEEP on the front. All other flat fenders I have seen say Willys or have the Mitsubishi triangle.

I realize Mahindra probably named it a CJ4a with little knowledge of the Jeep lineage but for the record it looks nothing like a CJ4. Also here is a neat website showing various jeep built around the world. http://www.film.queensu.ca/cJ3B/World.html

[prerunner1982]

After doing a little research I believe that may be called a CJ340.

[4.3LXJ]

CJ-4
CJ-4 Production 1951-1953
Wheelbase 81 in (2057 mm)
Only one CJ-4[3] was ever built as an experimental concept in 1951. It used the new Willys Hurricane engine and had an 81-inch (2,057 mm) wheelbase.
The CJ-4 body tub was an intermediate design between the straightforward raised hood from the CJ-3B and the all new curved body style of the CJ-5.
The design was rejected and the vehicle eventually sold to a factory employee.

Just to clarify I was referring to the Mahindra.

[prerunner1982]

[cantab27]

well the owner of the cj ute thingy here
it's a cj4a built in India under licence i believe running a 70 hp f134 hurricane engine with a 3 speed spicier t18? followed with dana 44's now turning 32" wheel was 30" ,Armstrong steering has been lengthened by bout 300mm as on farm for 30 yrs and had flat deck as in build up pic's
have built up to be used as 4wd and no doubt pic's will keep coming

Engine is about right, but that tranny? If it really has a T18 that is a great tranny, capable of taking V8 torque. They put them in back of the 304 cu in in the 70s. The transfer case can be falling off the back and not slip out of second gear. Trust me I know. But might be a Dana 18 transfer case. That makes more sense. That was typical.

[cantab27]

will find out about trans for you .. he wasn't sure but will check when he gets home later today ...stay tuned

[4.3LXJ]

Cool, I like that little thing.

[cantab27]

best come down for a run in it then lol

[4.3LXJ]

Hey mate, I would love to. (Old Kiwi farmers here by the way) If I could, I would pack up my XJ when it is finished and tour NZ and Aussie. That is the kind of stuff I have been building it for. The 4A would bring back memories.

[cantab27]

you used to farm down here....or farm kiwi fruit crops :thumbsup:

[4.3LXJ]

you used to farm down here....or farm kiwi fruit crops :thumbsup:

Cutting edge on Kiwi farming in the US in the 70s

[cantab27]

Cutting edge on Kiwi farming in the US in the 70s

sorry about the questions 4.3lxj.... do you mean the way we farm down here

[4.3LXJ]

sorry about the questions 4.3lxj.... do you mean the way we farm down here

No problem.

Back in the early 70s, someone here discovered you could grow Kiwi here and have the opposite season you folks have. So there were a number of small farmers in this area that formed a cooperative and got together and started putting in vineyards. Kiwi fruit went for a lot of money then, about $100 per pound to the farmer. We grew 24,000# on an acre at my dads place. The place I am on now has an old vineyard that never did produce anything. I have to take it out. What a mess.

[cantab27]

thanks for that mate , didn't know it was grown overseas in the 70s :thumbsup: heres ya gift for the info ya gave
http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr52/cantab27/3189.jpg

[4.3LXJ]

Hey mate, thanks. Do you guys eat pie, like we do in America? If you do, try a Kiwi pie. Sweet and sour flavor like we have in a strawberry/rhubarb pie, but different. Also, I made a sweet and sour sauce with kiwi and pineapple that I put on some ham. Dried kiwi is really good too. Since we farmed them, we always had several hundred pounds of culls to figure out what to do with.

[cantab27]

might have to start a food thread lol .. not tried kiwi pie but have seen different things made out of the fruit at markets and such .... love pie down here ..... meat pies are the best but lol

[xj4life2]

That is a 3b replica made by Mahindra tractor in India and you can still buy them today !!! Not sure why they would use a 4a title on it as Jeep used the cj4 on one unit they mae in 1951. First of the 4cyl Hurricane motors (trivia for ya ).

[xj4life2]

Do you have a link to the place you will be going? Might be interesting to us to see what you are up against. :popcorn: :driving:

[4.3LXJ]

Hey Warren, better burn that midnight oil as we say here. Get her done. If cantab wants to ride, have him work on it too.

You going to have that weber on for the race?

[cantab27]

heres a link to some links http://www.google.co.nz/images?hl=en&rlz=1T4GPCK_enNZ312NZ312&q=sheffield%20mud%20plug&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
will be on the spanners steve , im the navi

[4.3LXJ]

Lots of mud, deep mud. Looks like fun. You guys sure have good mud holes there. Does it rain a lot there? Sort of reminds me of Western Oregon

[cantab27]

rains heaps in the winter , lots of rivers plus the southern alps, mountain range , then the snow melt = mud :thumbsup:

[cj4a nz]

yep cantab WILL be on the spanners
will be burning the midnight oil well sort of
don't think there is a site as the mud plug is fundarising for local firebrigade
so I'm going for a fun time normally is a dampish day so :thumbsup:
weber on not sure am making progress on fitting it thou but is a slow process more important things to do first ! will lean out carb I have had on it as been running way to rich and put hotter plugs in and see if that helps in anyway
Warren

[4.3LXJ]

As long as you get a good seal under the carb, it will work. You would be surprised at what they will work with. I use Bosch +4 plugs. They give about 10% more hp at the wheels on the dyno.

[cj4a nz]

entry in for mud plug is in,close to cut off point and is in display thing a week later along with cantab's eyesore :smiley-laughing021:

went to retorque the big ends today didn't get there,neighbour came over the carb is bolted loosely together with manifolds,will muck around with the linkages for the carb this week I think,put the head bolts in and torqued them up and have everything else sitting there so getting closer,got to remember how to set the tappets all in my big workshop manual
till next time

[4.3LXJ]

Get it done Warren. You're entered now, so you can't not be there ready to race. My son got his water pump in the mail. He will be here tonight and we will get the Mighty Mite done tomorrow. We will then send it to his place.

[cantab27]

is in display thing a week later along with cantab's eyesore :smiley-laughing021:

eyesore :eek: only when your in the passenger seat crying cause ya got ya feet wet , :rotfl2: :smiley-laughing021: rivers dont look deep at night time :thumbsup:

[cj4a nz]

feet wet ?????????????????????????? I had dry feet
mucking around with the throttle linkage at the mo looks rought but only the prototype(yea right) have to custom build manifold to attach to air filter hurmph but getting there :smiley-laughing021:
plan to put sump on tomorrow nite and check all bolts and clean out dirty oil lines then add oil,not dark till 630 at the moment so have a little bit of light after I get home and the weathers warmer

[4.3LXJ]

Now, now boys. No bickering, just get her done. The navi can't be fighting with the driver. Might make him drive the course backwards or something.

[cantab27]

he goes quite hard does warren ,,, gives most tracks a shot when Ive been out wheeling with him :driving::rotfl2:.......no doubt he will be along and put his 2 cents in :smiley-laughing021:

[cj4a nz]

I'm here
just reaching over the back for the shotgun :sign0024:

well only have 2 more forward gears than reverse

to more important things. Sump on,bolts tight,oil in new filter in,just do tappet clearance on sat morning then see what happens when the key is turned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not to stressed bout the weber at the moment get her running first
then harness's bolt on a few more bits,like an exhaust ???????
will get some pic's when I get a chance
Warren
ps anyone seen wayne's driving :driving::nono: look at his avatar!:rotfl2:

[4.3LXJ]

It wouldn't surprise me to find that all the MB, 2A and 3As ended up in the Philippines and became Jeepneys

[cj4a nz]

sorry should of answered the question properly
we have mb's,2a,3a,3b and 4a's here that I have heard of 4a's in aussie as well but more 3b as left there by :patriot: after WW II as well as prob other things if in the centre of the country most have very little if any rust

well mud plug back on 17 Oct :smiley-gen165:
have mocked up the manifold for top of carb tonight going to look a bit ugly but never mind will attempt to start cutting out this week but not looking hopeful but have other jobs inc replacing the fuse box have never been happy with it and got one from work the other day that will be stronger and easier to install I can use all my existing wiring without mods

well off now will keep up dated :driving:

[rugidone]

Looks like a blast!

[cj4a nz]

tappets done started after little hicup,earth wire fell off when changing a bracket in the cab :( and the fuel pump wouldn't go,turned around and have done the exhaust just to put s/s protector on now,still running factory carb as run out of time to muck around with the weber but am still going to fit it

Glad you got the carb working Warren. In the end you will like it much better than the stock one. What did you do wrong with that seal. They are pretty straight forward old school seals on those four bangers.

it is hard to get a good swing under there with that long handle. Needs a shortie on it. :D

[cj4a nz]

Wayne, 4.3LXJ yep need a real shortie fbh had trouble swinging the torque wrench.
I did "trim" a little of the seal but should of not made any difference unless there is a bit of shit I missed,but seal ended up sliding round easy in the end unless there a 2 types of seals and the one I had was the wrong one:( as was diff to the one removed.stuffed if I know :sad0147:,

did get to 40 kph in second gear but only pulling 2000 ish rpm somethink not opening right but will iron the little kinks out of it !

Just been chewed out by the wife bout the drive ,she didn't see me scrubbing it!

still waiting for a reply from aussie bout the seal will have to ring them I am thinking.

then in the first course 2 vehicle lengths then my bumber/dozer blade hit the bank thats that 100 point,2nd speed course 35 sec best I heard of 21sec not bad lots more 100 point or dnf's then what was going to be my last course into the water up to the bank and STOP 35's weren't going there ,all ok hook up 2 snatch staps and the tractor tries to pull my sideways up the bank first funny noise 2nd attempt same thing then we got them to pull me out he end of the course by this time the engine had died my butt was wet :sad0147: and so was my seat :sad0147: after removing several large branches I was finally removed from the course everything was full of water,and my tow hooks at funny angle's,chassis was tweeked in the course of the recovery and reversed 1 shakle as well
back to the trailer behind a landrover :mad: did geat going but starter mtr wouldn't engage so tow started and on to the trailer :rolleye0012: there ended my day watched for the rest of ther day and come home with a pair of socks and a beanie,
removed the starter tonite she's a full of water and mud so now a rebuild and will put a spare in tomorrow to wash the mud and crap off and put back in the shed to check all the oils, bearings etc
oh where does it end .................................................. ............ oh NEVER !
but I did enjoy myself

[cantab27]

jeeps like water...............ask me how i know warren...sounded like a good day ..few rollovers i hear

[4.3LXJ]

Man Warren, what is with pulling you out sideways?

[cj4a nz]

think the tractor driver thought I was mobile,and he was 20 mtrs away from me

my jeep still goes after a bath !!!!!!!! well kind of any way,will need the lanacote and stuff back if your going past work for my starter

but the worst thing was someone overheard a conversation about the little train! "I think I can I think I can " guessing thats what they ment but she's still more memorable than a hilux or suzuki at the end of the day

[4.3LXJ]

The price of being unique. You have all the waterproof stuff on that engine? The US military had them completely waterproofed. When I was a kid, there was a TV commercial for Jeep that had an extended snorkel and tail pipe on one driving around on the bottom of a lake at the depth of about 20 feet. Very cool to watch.

[cj4a nz]

water proofing stuff yep I own(ed) somthing simular ,cant seem to get it back lol:D
am now seriously looking a a pump the just pressureis everythink you plumb it to

changed the starter mtr the other day got running but clutch not workin? then the starter mtr stopped working!!!!!!!! need to get it back in to the shed and drop the box and have a decent look,still sitting in the middle of my section but did wash it last weekend between building the office and shower

[4.3LXJ]

Is your clutch just wet Warren?

[cantab27]

think that water proofing shit floated away down the river warren... have i still got yours.. will check in shed or just replace it at on my coin... will ring in a day or two mate

[dagr8tim]

It's cute. But I thought you said a Ute, not a go cart.

Still really cool.

[cj4a nz]

clutch isn't wet full of sticks and shit,removed the plate that vents the clutch, nearly have it out
gotta get a endless chain and pull it with the engine lots and quicker for next time ............... aye wayne

there were 17 rollovers I heard ,lots of not unhappy talk the course getting to hard for the unmodified lower hp rigs


go cart :sniper: :sniper:

[cj4a nz]

gees had troube with the site loading but working tonite
finally got the box out what a shit of a job mtr comming out next time
needed a long lever to remove the clutch plate going to clean up and put backtogether not replacing it this time but have killed both starter mtrs must find some one that know what they are doing to rebuild/repair them can't wait to take it for a drive when back together

[cantab27]

all good mate..will be at keiths this weekend..picking up parts for jeep this week ,,,,so river run coming up...NOT,

[4.3LXJ]

Warren, you might want to do what Wayne did. Take it apart and clean it up. Probably something simple like mud in the brushes. Unless you smoked it, it is fixable without dollars. Must be something about NZ mud. :D

[cj4a nz]

well clutch back together and boxes back in now sturth it's heavy even without the bell housing now time to replace all oils inc the engine as it too had water in it :mad: and see if the rebuilt starter will work then time to go out and break it again this time with wayne ,saw his today wayyyyyyy toooooo shinney :o mine still dirty
till next time

[cj4a nz]

the mud down here is like very fine grinding paste,it was just plain worn out !

[4.3LXJ]

Sounds good Warren. Don't forget some pics. Those old Jeeps will go even when worn out.

[cj4a nz]

well all back together BUT this is a pic of some of the oil I removed any guesses where it came from !!!!

[bluedragon436]

Don't turn that bad boy into a submersible while running with Wayne.. then you'll have to work on the oil flush all over again to get rid of the water

[cj4a nz]

will let wayne test the depth first .... if he was ny navvie last time out it mite not of happened .................................................. ......... yea rite !

[bluedragon436]

[4.3LXJ]

[cj4a nz]
