almost free things to your jeep

I'll take one tomorrow

 

yeah me too!

 

T90 huh? I have one of those too. DavidT, you need to take some pics of your secret stash.:drool:

 

A set of jeep 1960-70 hub caps with the removable center doohickey for the warn hub. A set of Warn from the junk yard off a jeep or a Scout. A set of cheap gauges. Paint your jeep with a brush and some enamel. It will look great from 10 feet. Replace your short windshield and frame to the taller one found on 71 and later jeeps. You'll finally be able to get a quality wiper blades that fit. Install an electric wiper motor. Fix and/or adjust the emergency brake. Change the oil and filter, check all the fluids. Rebuild the bell crank. Adjust the drag link. Adjust the head lights
Change out the head lights for haleogens.

 

I just picked up a couple free items.
A pair of stock yj bumpers (which buddy swapped for bigger ones)
Then a stock wagonneer bumper (waiting on the rear one, too)
Some square taillights (I didn't have any)
A pair of wheels (mine were damaged)

basic stuff, but my priority is gettin on the road! better stuff comes later

 

An Overdrive for the flatty.
I got a set of original 16" rims for 40 bucks, Does that count?
An original driver seat for the 73.
A pintle hook for the flatty.
Tire chains.

 

Another often overlooked detail by some is to fill in your location at the top of the page so we know where you are. There are members here all over and can help you find little things for cheap.

 

Underhood lighting that came from a mid to late 80's Chebby truck. these things are great. The have long wire that reels back in like a garden hose and snaps into place, on off switch. I can reel it out and put light anywhere around the JEEP. Got it for free from a buddy who was selling his truck. I grab them up at the junk yard whenever I see them and pass them around to friends. Great for any vehicle.

 

that is cool!! I'm looking for one now.

 

I buy the wiper refills the longest I can find then cut them in half get four blades for the price of two.

IU bought 2 the one fits perfectly between the gas tank and tool box, the other I trimmed up to fit, took the little metal things off of what was left of the paper glove box, wrapped the edge with gorilla tape and screwed er in there. $2.00 instead of thirty

 

thats cool. I made mine out of sheet aluminum bent it up and riveted. I got the aluminum free from work it was for making gutter. its real deep i made it go right up to the firewall

 

Great ideas. I'm going to build a coolant tank just like Patricks........

 

Great idea about the wiper blade replacement. The rubber on the after market unit is lossy.

How about this: I got a over flow tank for the radiator and mounted it on the side of the nose shell by the alternator. $7.95. Oh, don't be as dumb as I was. The plastic tank nipple for the hose is not pre-drilled. Duh!!!

 

Patrick, Fantastic coolant tank. Sorry, I didn't see the pictures at first.

 

Its an awesome coolant tank

 

What is that? It almost looks like a fuel canister for a backpacking stove I have??
