What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

Went for a biscuit and a jeep ride.



The biscuit was good and the coffee was hot.
I enjoyed the time in the blue cj6

 

Thanks for posting these. That top picture I just saved as my background for my Kindle Fire.

 

Made this today... going to add some pockets around the tool roll, but I like where this one is heading.

 

Finished up the black out light project and fixed the siren!

 

Love my ox lockers front and back!

 

Very nice

 

My 1 year old china fuel pump wasnt holding prime on the 2a so I dove in to fix it. I decided it could be sucking air because the line was so old i think it was original. I changed it out for a hard line and saw a valve in the pump was bad. I put the old top on the new bottom because just the diaphram was leaking. It was pumping now but still not pulling from the tank. After all day messing with it I finally figured out the new line was clogged! must have gotten crud in it when i fished it through the frame. Also adjusted the acc pump and metering valve and its running better

 

How did you route the cable for the rear? Where did you mount the control lever? I am still trying to find the best spot.

 

Mine are air.

 

I welded in a cowl rain gutter came out really good. The spot where the radiator support bolts on needed repair anyway aswell as the hood hinge needed welding. I feared there might be an issue with hood clearance but that wasnt a problem there is tons of room to spare. I just spot welded it across the front and seam sealed the inside.

 

Made some mirror brackets for Farm Jeep Willy today.

 

That’s slick!

 

Also cleaned up some hood hinges, cut the weld out of the pin and repinned them. The ones in Farm Jeep Willy are worn to about 1/4" diameter so every pothole causes the hood to bang loudly. And in Penna, we've got a lot of potholes!

 

Thanks! It was a little blacksmithing work, a little welding.

 

cut the weld out of the pin and repinned them.

Great work, I need to try that!
Did you just torch out the end welds, disassemble the hinges and then make a new pin?

 

Just grind weld flat, if it's indented, centerpunch and drill it with a 7/16 bit about 1/16 into the weld. Flip it over, weld side down over a vice open just enough to hold a 3/8 bolt. Give it a sharp rap with a hammer and the old pin will pop right out. Cut a 3/8 bolt shank to fit, drive it in, plug weld the end and bang, you're done.

 

Outstanding!
Thank you for the step by step instructions, I’m going give it a go!

 

No problem, its super easy and one more tip, if the 3/8 bolt shank is loose in the rolled part of the hinge before you weld it, give it a quick hit on the body of the roll, or a little squeeze in the vice to tighten it up.

 

Nice Hinge repair! From the factory they came with spring washers to help with rattling. I wonder if stainless rod would hold up

 

Don't know if would hold up any better but if you coat the hinge pin with anti-seize it will reduce the wear.
