it needs exhaust, an ebrake and a lot of fine tuning, but i am excited to get this on the road for spring, work the bugs out of it over the summer then paint it next winter.

 

I also got some work do on it tonight, i got the ebrake installed, used lokar stuff, very nice.

 

Nice looking ride!

 

That is swweeeettttttt!!

I'd say that is almost the perfect moded CJ2a.

 

looks good, coming along.
nice ebrake set-up, might inspire me to do something.
one comment: the pic showing the rear wheel brake assy.
The self adjusting cable end at the top pin should go under the two return springs, not over the top as shown; it might come off otherwise.

 

NIce looking jeep! What happen to the old seats that were in it?

 

still have them, might use them, might not, they need upholstery

 

Got the exhaust all tacked, ran the driver side pipe around the front and to the other side where it picks up the other collector and then down the inside of the frame and out the back...very happy the way it came out.


front connector pipe


picking up the collector on the other passenger side


muffler all tucked up and save


out the back

 

holy cow thats a short rear driveline!
really nice jeep anyhow

 

what is when the front axle move, there is not much space between the driveshaft and the oilpan:?

gerald

 

its tight, but it should work.

And on another note, i made another junkyard score and ended my seat dilemma, i found a nice set of low back cj5 seats, the fronts are mint, not a tear on them, the rear had a cigarette burn or something. I also grabbed a swing out tire / gas can carrier in perfect shape. All for $100


one of the fronts with the dirt wiped off

thats what I'm talking about

 

Thats a good score! You dont find stuff that nice in Junk Yards around here.

 

Interested to see what that carrier looks like. I've been looking for one for awhile now.............................

 

I just looked at it, and it is not a kayline, it has a tag on it that is barely readable, but it looks like it says Bestop Dualmatic

 

the seats cleaned up nicely

 

the tire carrier


the latch

 

Seats are in, i was able to keep the fold and tumble feature




Got the exhaust welding finished, 2" off the manifolds to to 2.5" pipe, magnaflow muffler.
