Clean mostly original '73 CJ5, 232 6 cyl, 3 speed, w. 3.73 axle ratio, $5000. I bought the chrome wagon wheels and 31x10.50 15 BFG AT's about 10...
This worked to revive my old tach/dwell meter as well. The poor thing had been sitting on the shelf since I used in on my CJ7 in , uh... 1997?
Thanks again Tim. I figured it might be the spring that was weak, I didn't know the pigtail was available to repair the lamp housing. The bulb...
After monkeying with the front turn signal bulb I remembered the bulbs are a little loose in the sockets. They work if I hold them just right, I...
I'll have to try this on the ignition switch too. It was starting fine for nine months, then the last time I went to start it it wasn't getting...
Thanks Tim, the left brake light and rear turn signal are working. The left front worked once then stopped again, I'll check all the front...
Thanks for the idea on the switch, I hadn't thought to spray it down. All the connectors have been cleaned twice now.
I received the manual today and checked the tail light wiring against what is on the jeep. The '73 and '74 diagrams are the same (at least as far...
Thanks for the info and the link, I didn't know the manuals were available.
I have found the 1974 wiring dia. here: https://oljeep.com/edge_74_tsm.html Is the 1973 wiring dia. the same? If not, can anyone point me to a...
Looks like fun. You're getting a lot more snow on that side of the mountains, I'm at about the same elevation and south of you. The mountains...
I forgot I had started this thread :worry: Thanks for the replies. I used my shop press to install the pinion bearing at shop temperature, it...
I'm rebuilding the rear axle in my Dodge pickup. While contemplating pressing the new bearings on the pinion and carrier I thought about using...
That is on my list of things to do someday. If my VP44 had picked a better time to fail I'd have started on it last Aug. Using the dowels to hold...
Impressive work. I'd have thought that the frame rails would move back after cooling down.
If the gauges were working before I don't think you need to rewire the jeep. I know originally those gauges had a common power source, you may...
I'd check bumper part numbers on the web, see what years use the same part number.
I like the ATDC, I was thinking that pipe was hanging out, looking for trouble.
My welding wasn't the best when I began welding on the jeep in my avatar. I think I had the attitude that, I need to get this done so I can get...
When I bought my '74 it stopped terribly with the factory drums. When I put new tires on it I inspected the brakes and found everything was in...
