Build Thread original owner 84 renegade ground up rebuild

[weithman5]

I've been meaning thread going for awhile. Now that I have her torn down and started rebuild I guess it's time. I am the original owner. My mom is standing next to it in this picture in 1984. I will add select pics from the tear down and then rebuild.

Engine mounts tie plates and shock support powder coated. New leaf springs. Frame was epoxied. I can’t find the spring hangers. Grrrr

Right rear leaf loosely bolted up. Nearest I can find is the spring hanger to frame bolts 70 ftlb and pivot bolt 100ftlb

Wait to do your final torque on bushings until you are done with the Jeep and it’s on the ground so the bushings won’t get bound up,,,,, looking great

Freshly powder coated engine supports and cross piece bolted up. The front springs are in place with exception of attaching to spring hangers since I am awaiting those parts
