just bought a 1959 cj6

as far as i know it is the regular ross box on the cj6 but now i will have to look closer at it.

 

thanks for the pic tim. just wanted to see if the uprights were right behind the seats. i might do a double upright one where yous is pictured and one just a tad forward and then do the front hoop and tie them all together. the ting is cages look really funny on cj6's but that is my observation.

 

n

now that i look at the picture above it does look like a truck steering wheel or is that stock for '59?

 

Nice find. Sometimes I wish I still had my Fhead. It ran on varnish, and was quiet as a mouse. GeoffreyL on the forum here has it. I hope it 's doing well.

 

this jeep didn't have a muffler on it but ran really quiet. i was amazed.

 

isn't there supposed to be an oil filter on these 4 cylinder engines? i've looked all over and cannot find it

 

Should have a canister filter on top right next to the dip stick.

 

no canister filter. where does the canister filter get it's supply from?

 

so then the filter is an optional item? you would think it should be there on all engines.

 

I would think they all would have them. Read through this thread. Someone posted some pics.

even though I have a 6 ,,,, it never look as long as in other people 6s ,,,,must be my cage

 

thanks doug, i looked at that thread and see the canister. just need to get that assy.

 

yeah there are times when i look at pictures of other rigs and they seem long. even when i look at mine there are times it seems like that too. guess it is how it is set up (cage, lift, tires) that change the character of the jeep

 

I agree yours and tims pics
look crazy long compared to mine

 

love the picture steve!!! your running 33's right? and how much lift do you have?

 

those are 35s with a blended 3 " BDS/Skyjacker cj7 spring pack supersoft and 32" of uptravel before another wheel lifts off the ground

 

well..picked up a donor vehicle for the 4.3 swap. the thing is in decent shape. it's a 97 blazer with the 4.3 throttle body. too bad all i need is just the engine and harness the rest will go to the scrapyard. what all am i going to need as far as the harness goes? will i need anything else from this thing for my swap?

 

here is a picture of the donor.
