What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

Thanks I've been having a lot of fun with it!

 

In my best Hank Hill voice: That's the ultimate in Propane and Propane accessories.

 

I tried to install a reman power steering pump only to find the center bolt broken in the shaft. Apparently they don't tap them out during reman. Its going back to flaps tomorrow. After pitching a major fit cause I haven't wrenched in weeks and swearing I was selling out and going jk I had a good belt of Bird Dog blackberry from the hiding spot and regrouped. I managed to finish the fuel line...

 

Today was a milestone, I finished the conversion re-conversion project. A project of a few hours here, a few hours there I dismantled the propane fuel system and then installed the gas tank, new fuel lines, new fuel pump and a Holley two barrel carb. This afternoon I wrapped it up making the last few connections, putting some gas in the tank and dumping a little bit of gas down the throat of the carb. A few cranks and then...vrooom it caught. When the weather is better I'll do a shake down run and see if the Holley needs any further adjustment. I've been waiting for this for awhile. The propane worked well but wasn't what I really wanted. Still a lot I want to do but I can check this off my list!

 

In a morning blitz with near 70 temps ! Fiberglassed up the holes in the floor plan from initially going with traditional pedals. Installed an inline filter in the fuel line to finish it, installed the PS pump and pressed the pulley on. Now I can bolt the drivers fender on, finish the brake lines, steering and start wiring. Rolling now!

 

I put her on firewood duty today.

 

Its a relief to put the cutting, flaring and bending tools away permanently!

 

Didn't require any wrenching, but it's sure nice to have new seat covers and cushions to sit on! Fun project.

Jeep is slowly coming together as money permits. Almost ready for spring.

 

Looks great!

 

Seats look great and so does the Jeep! The more I see M38A1's the more I want one for myself.

 

Dug out the mangled half cab from the snow this morning. After repairing cracks and filling dozens of stoopid holes, patches and hours of hammer and dolly work, I finally have a solid cover on the jeep. I'm glad it only cost me 50 bucks. It's not bolted down or sealed yet (I need to weather seal fab a filler behind the back wheel wells). No more roll bar! PD came by for VIN verification today and just need to pay some money and register....on the road shortly after many years of sitting in the garage. Front springs are the next project.

 

I've been putting lots of overtime in, so my Saginaw conversion is crawling along. But I am making progress. Today I replaced the brake line that crosses over to the passenger side. Back in December when welding, grinding, cutting, I bumped the original brake line with a cutoff wheel. They don't last long against cutoff wheels, turns out. And I put a new brake light pressure switch in.

 

Thanks Nate...it's my only runner at this time, so will be coming along in June for the trail run in Hillsborough.

 

I’m liking these cold winter days, good time to dissemble and rework things. Wiring this week.

 

Installed the 2 hole rt knuckle on my cj6 (thanks Daryl). Ordered tie rod and drag link from Speedway

 

I'm curious about that conversion. Do you still use the stock steering box? Would you mind posting a picture or two when you have it completed?

 

I recently relocated my cross member and modified it a bit to work with the T18 I'm putting in. Eliminated the goofy bracket that used to support the transfer case. Mine had been broken for a while.

 

Sat in mine and made motor noises...

This pic is from awhile ago...

 

Wow that looks like a cool build just judging from the front axle and shock setup.

 

Thanks. If you search for SeaBee M38A1 you'll see a tale of creeping scope... The result of cracking a ring in the original F-Head and wanting to upgrade everything along the way...
