    None of my guages work so I took the plunge and bought an nos Speedo cluster. This one has a factory defect showing a 5 instead of a 0 so it has 50000.00 miles on it. I got it because it's close to what my original mileage is

    I'm almost out of things to do.
    Need to hook up pto shaft for winch, I think I have to turn the case down to get the shaft to miss exhaust
    Put on bump stops
    Restore heater controls
    Get winch cable on
    Lots of touching up

    Tomorrow I need to set the timing

    Amazing it looks great. Almost out of things to do... wow that’s a good problem to have.

    Looks like the jeep has other ideas :steamed: with oil on the floor.

    Yeah ... that's an $80.00 bill but I did get the winch hooked up. In and out shaft is a bit stiff. Why the lever broke.
