i took it for it's 1st real jeep trail drive yesterday.
about 3 miles up it was squirting oil all over.
so i stopped and took a peek.
the line that runs from the block to the oil pressure gauge had broken.
i stuck a screw in it and j.b. welded it on there and drove it home.
kinda anticlimactic huh?


waiting for the j.b.weld to cure....

 

i put it in 4 low and coasted down the mountain to the trailhead.
that way i didnt have to use the brakes all the way.

i'm just glad it was something easy.
i caught the leak before i lost two quarts of oil.

 

i think it looks too cool for school with that spare on there...

 

mine was copper.
but yes i will.

 

That's a cool lookin' jeep. What's your tire size and brand?

 

Now, don't be using that spare for "accidentally" bumping bicyclists off the road! And what trail did you take the Ol' Slug on? Making it bleed on its first trail ride, shame on you!

 

the wheels are 15 i cant remember what size tire.

it broke off flush at the plug

i am takin it off if i cant use it as a bike bumper.
i dont know what the name of it is.but it's across the road from the north KOA campground

 

total 1/2 cab cost $360 minus the door seals.
i still have to clean the rollup windows and bolt it on.
then install a new heater.
and i will be good for winter.

 

If you could get me the tire size, I'd really appreciate it.

thanks.

Nice job! Turned out good.

 

thanks to you buddy!
