What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

I followed the steps provided in the sticky thread from sparky. Can you not see the photo?

 

Not yet.

 

We need pics just in case I get down 5 cities way, then I will know who you are. Also, Fresbone gets over to Pismo a few times a year.

 

I work on a party boat in morro bay. Look for my Jeep in front of giovanis once the season starts

 

Um..., Er..., Just the one in your Avatar. We WANT many , many More

 

A Termite walks onto a Party Boat & asks " Where is the Bar Tender ? "

 

Haha! I’ve got tons of photos. I’ll go re read the posts on adding photos. But it might be a “permissions” thing. When I click on photos I get an error

 

Just got this one from Play Dead.

 

I was going to drive the JEEP around town to run my errands but when I got in it wouldn’t start, so on the battery charger it went. It’s had a parasitic draw for a while now and if it sits for more then 3 weeks it’s dead, I guess it’s time to figure it out.

 

All .........Well, to the best of my non existent budget anyway. Put my 'refurbished ' axles back in , by the .
Head'n up north , for a Service Call that will serve as a shakeout run too.

 

Upgraded the shifter boots today. They are made by Stronghold Shiftboots and so far I am really happy with the quality.
I have a T-18 transmission, so I grabbed the boot for that and the twin stick Dana 18 as well. For the transmission boot, I opted to add the insulation and black top stitch.

 

The rest of the story.

That's the build, thanks John...still a work in progress but at a slower pace.

 

I bought some Stronghold boots for my '71 last year. Really happy with them:

 

My Stronghold transfercase and overdrive boot after Fireballs earlier recommendation. Reused the plate I had previously made.
Fabbed cover and purchased boot and ring for the SM420 install.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks. The boot gives plenty of room for the large shift tower and the quality is much better than the re-pop rubber.
The Stronghold boot worked nicely.

 

Pulled the cab off the Willys pickup today (see the "What did your Jeep help you with" thread) and mounted it firewall down on the lower frame for my engine hoist. This will enable us to do some repairs on the underside of the cab and also the frame. It needs a new hat channel, and this'll make it easy. Plus we plan to sandblast the underside.

 

Springs Coming. Got the wheels and tires back on the 53 M38A1 after having them balanced. Got a Death Wobble problem. Got a new set of tie rod ends from John at MWM. Took the 64 M38A1 for a couple of loops around the block. Running well, still needs some carb tune up. starts to stumble and takes the fuel slowly, but it kept running. Got to try out my "New" 24V Dwell / Tach meter when 1967CJ5A gets back over. Got a couple of wiper arms that are just flapping without turning the vacuum motor. Got to check that out. One tire just decides to get slack, then stay up for a while, got to check that out also. Horn has quit on the 53, always little things. Fun getting them back out again now that the weather is getting better. I hate having to clean up all the tools and sockets and move stuff where they have been sitting.
Progress.


Ah Spring is coming, things are happening.
