i think black will look good.

olive green colour is banned only for the 540/550, i think it will not be a problem on the willys mb.

then too , will check for conformation.

A retro jeep with a Willys MB body will look good in a different shade like the dark glossy blue or glossy black, not the original green which looks good for an original vintage jeep with NDMS tyres.

Hello Garrett, Cheers fir the efforts and intrest ur putting in to this project. I had recently fitted 15 Inch EVO racing alloys with 235/75R15 YOKOHAMA geolander tyres on my Bolero. Please take a look. I hope you might prefer something like that.

Happy Driving

This is the first time I am seeing a XD3P diesel engime being mated with an old model XDP 4.90's bell housing, as shown in the third picture of your post number 37.
Have you been able to crank the engine ever, from the wrong side? If yes, then you would have solved many jeepers dreams of having a left hand jeep with XD3P diesel.
Please write more on this topic and post pictures of that wonder starter motor.

A great project coming up and my earnest request is to avoid a hydraulic clutch, which can never be possible in your case, unless a big 'jugaad' is done. Also ensure you have the emergency/hand brake at the gearbox itself.
Has Mahindra Classic ever come with a twin lever transfercase? Gurus please highlight.
Wishing you all the best,
with you always......................... UBS

Sir,
Did not know it was you till i saw your other posts.
I am doing it up with Rajeev Dham
you must be knowing him pretty well right ?

garrett_t16 · 18th May 2010, 03:00

Trust me guys I have gone crazy dreaming about my jeep coming home and me going off-roading.

Its 3AM and i just got out of bed and started going through the 4x4 section !

anyways here are some one-week old pics.
till now body completely fitted.
no more work left ! finally my jeep can go off to paint in the next few days.!

guys anywhere in India - I NEED 10J RIMS FAST !

Desmosedici · 19th May 2010, 00:22

3 guy told me that they had 10J rims sitting ready,but when i reach there they show me 8.5J rims and say 'sir this is only available !'

about the gearbox.
i have made a sketch please tell me if it is right starting from left to right ,the longest,medium and smallest size levers. ine is a RHD jeep.

Jaggu · 19th May 2010, 15:37

Which 3 speed box is this? the main gearbox in CJ3B's are:
R 2
N
1 3

Transfer and 4 wheel shifter seems to be pointed right and please note LO can be engaged only with 4 wheel engaged.

Samurai · 19th May 2010, 15:42

And there is no N between 2WD and 4WD. What is this, you are making your own gearbox?

Hi Garrett,

From the hand drawn diagram, I can infer, you have the 3 Speed Gear Box (T-90/3 forward +1 Reverse).

The Peugeot XDP4.9 was introduced in 1979 with the 3 speed Gearbox.

There is no Neutral Position between 2WD & 4WD.

Regards,

Arka
