What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

That's a wrap. No pun intended. Thanks to GeoffreyL for coming by and helping me finish up the pto driveline. We enlisted his gf Emma to mind the wheel while spooling up the rope. Figured we'd better have someone at the key so we don't get run through the pasta maker.

Nothing
still waiting on the install kit for the ELocker

But since it got up to about 60* here, I did ride the green B for a little bit.

 

Added some 4* caster shims with new u bolts and spring plates and discovered that I need to make friends with a mobile welder.
Second pic is front axle hanging first is with the tires back on the ground.

 

easy fix with cheap buzz box welder

 

Hey There Andrew........Maybe caused by that Spider live'n behind the bumper. Kidd'n there, but like Ron & Jim say, it's a pretty straight ahead repair

 

I think you may be right. I never cared much for those 8 legged critters!

 

Drug out this one owner rig and took it to the shop to work on for a guy.



Put the plow back on and drove the 3b to my buddy's to do some work on his driveway and will be trying to clear out a tree line sometime this week.

 

Need more pics of that fc!!

 

Finally, got back to work on the YJ. Replaced the rear shackles with stock units and lifted the tank back in. After messing with the connector a bit, got the pump to energize and the Jeep started with 29ish PSI at idle and almost 40 with the FPR unhooked. About perfect by the book. I pulled the fan, fan shroud, belt etc. to prep for the timing chain/sprocket replacement. I've got to work tomorrow and out of time today, but good progress made today after almost 2 weeks of none.


So much room for activities.

 

Holy Moly.....Could Pritinear put another engine up forward

 

I finally finished the parking brake set up that I started last year by putting on Cadillac disk brakes...Brakes work great even without parking brake connected.

you can see the water that leaked from the heater hose.....

Electrolysis ruined the bulkhead connectors...

 

made a bracket to hold the parking brake lever that connected to the top of my SM420



this is with it connected



full disclosure.....i borrowed this idea of the bracket from timsresort

 

77° today in Maryland. Installed the hardware and made some wing nuts that didn't interfere with the roll cage. Now I can use the AC!

 

Pulled the old steering bellcrank off. Didn't feel like grinding the rivets to take the bracket off.
Column is out for final details, floor bracket and grease zert. Then the grill went back on.
I need to clean up and kick the baby wranglers out.

This is next project up. I need to finish this project in the next couple weeks as I am having my 2nd knee done within the last 2 years.

 

Visited the factory many times.

 

I'm reading this thinking...looks familiar! Nice job.

 

Removing the old, Hooker headers that were put in by Dad in 1971…also put the glass packs in at same time….not much left
