'71 CJ5

What is not to LOVE? I hope mine turns out half as nice.

Keep it up!



And thanks Fesser.

 

This shot just HAS to be here. Gives me a woody. lol

 

Well, been a while....let me just say, I take 2 steps forward and 13 back.

Had issues with the the ignition and carb, got that worked out.
Had a leak around my transfer case.....well, lets just say I have to rebuild that baby....and I may need a few gears. Keeping my fingers crossed that the same issue did not happen in the transmission. I have no idea how I missed this earlier, but thank god for the leak!




Good news got the brake lines replaced, have to get a new bleeder.

Got the radiator and grill out, and ready to mount the electric fan. It will have to be a pusher, but it is going to be plenty of air flow, with my big radiator.

 

those gears look like the boys ,the nut at the trans end was loose and crunched some gears,and busted the case...only lasted a few months .

 

Your jeep is beautiful. I love the color.

 

Thanks!

 

Looks like there was some water in the case, so now I'm going to pull it and the transmission...now looking for a 420 or 465 to put in....and will change to ta 2 stick transfercase.

 

Got the radiator/fan/grill back on and rerouted the P/S line.....

 

I did just that, great minds thinks alike...

 

Thanks,

The gal that built that is extremely talented!

 

Gal? just kidding. I know a woman that could back up a semi trailer in a manner that would put most men to shame.

 

Well, been slow going, but now that I have the ignition and carb figured out, will be able to piece it back together a little quicker. Still have to pull the transfercase and transmission. Waiting on the gauges to come in hopefully, they will arrive this week. Did some clean up on the headlights and will have to do a little cutting on the housing for the head lights.

 

New school bling for an old school Jeep.

 

I always wanted to see the look on a cj prior to buy a set for mine. If you can post a night picture it would help me making my choice.


Great jeep by the way

 

I will do that when I get home from work.

 

you guys are killing me with these purty jeeps

 

Just got word that my custom gauges have shipped, should be here Tuesday! Damn, I may actually, finish this thing!
