FWIW, did some googling today...recommended calipers include: 72-87 Chev 3/4 ton truck calipers ('79 prior are SAE, '80-on are Metric) 78-87 GM A...
I use an ammo can. Cheap, simple to build brackets for, cheap, waterproof. Also, easy to add a lock to (put a hasp loop attached to the body,...
Soooo.... if I go that route, what S10 calipers do I go for? Year range, or are they all the same?? Any gotcha's swapping from the Eldys?
Don't go there....Plan "C" is reserved for finding a CJ-6 frame body and title and swapping everything over so I can have room for the dog.
Don't think I have room for it....CJ-5 with a T-18a and Dana 20...rear driveshaft is only about 16.5" already.
I did a disc/disc swap on my '73 CJ5 last year. Rear calipers were Eldorado, with parking brake. I got the calipers from somebody else's...
Oh, one thing that surprised me with the LM501311 races....when you put it all together...put on the first nut...then the lock ring, then the 2nd...
Learned about the supply thing here at ecj5...figured there was more to the story, too much of a co-winky-dink being located in the same area....
I did mine this past fall, front and rear. Long story short, I got a parts axle that was already converted to disc...upon a closer look, found...
Well, I'm really not THAT excited about it. Radiator on my '73 CJ5 (258/manual) is shot. What is the good and bad of replacement radiators?...
The summit heater advertises "max" output (possible) at 28k btu...I wonder how that compares to the stock heater? Right now, my stock heater box...
I made my j-racks for my kayak trailer using 1/2" black iron water pipe and a harbor freight pipe bender (poop pipe discombobulator). Covered...
found it on airtex website: 1/2"-20 UNF-2B I.F. (inverted flare)
After several years running propane, I am going back to a carb. *Somewhere* in my shop I should have the old fuel pump and hard fuel line...but...
I had mine off about 10-12 years ago, so hopefully it isn't permanently self-welded to the shaft. Anybody had success painting a wheel?
The steering wheel on my '73 CJ5 is in right poor shape...turns my hands black even when it's dry outside (used to just do it when wet). I have...
Duh, finally looked close...just didn't pay any attention to the stock cover vs. the new one....here is a pic (from solidaxle.com) of the cover I...
Yep, got a new cover same time. Fill is higher now that I look at it. I am probably going to pull off a quart or so and run it.
OK, got my '73 CJ-5 axle back from having a Detroit swapped in. Dumped in a couple of quarts of gear oil...then two more, four total, and it's...
Cool...you get around. :) My CJ has been neglected the past 4 or 5 years, as I've been pouring all my Jeep funds into the 715...this summer, I'm...
