I did keep my original, which had a few leaks, intending to one day have it rebuilt. It is low on the priority list since the replacement works...
I got an aluminum 3 core from local NAPA a couple years ago. Fits fine, works great.
After my wife got T-boned in her Honda CRV, it really got me thinking about seat belts in the 73 CJ5. I was about to start refurbishing the...

Fortunately, the rod came off in my hand while I was turning the adjustment nut. Upon further examination, I see the previous owner did a similar...
update: I finally got around to tinkering with the clutch, and discovered good news and bad news. It appears that the previous owner recently...
I think it is partially releasing. If it’s running and in gear with the clutch depressed, it’s not moving, and it engages normally. It’s...

A little deeper dive into the web sand I found this website that states that AMC did in fact produce some galvanized tailgates. And I have found...
I have started on the bodywork on my 73 CJ5. It appears to be mostly original, very little rust, but the tailgate appears to be galvanized. I am...
Update: it was the wiring connections to the hazard flasher switch. I moved them around to different terminals, and that fixed it.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the information and recommendation.
Looking for suggestions on a simple way to mount my spare in the rear of my ‘73. I have the stock tiny angle iron “bumper”. I am no welder, so...
This is timely. I just put discs on the front of my 73, and while I was at it I rebuilt the rear drums and installed new e-brake cables. It took...
