What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

A madhouse.

 

My cj6 is wearing a pair of shoes exactly like that Wild Country. Not from the 80's though

 

Took the 64 USMC M38A1 to the Denton MV show.
Had a blast driving it around the show talking to people and taking in the sights.
Had so much fun in fact I forgot to take pictures. Had to have my friends send the pictures to me. Jeep ran great, a little cold natured, but what a blast!

Had such a great time, I forgot to take pictures. Next show I will remember to take some. My friends who went with us and carried the Jeep sent me the pictures.
I still have to put the 1st Hospital Decals and the front plate like were on my Dad's in Vietnam.


This is the picture I am holding. Next ptoject to replicate the license plate, decals, and rear tire sign.

For the past few years I have had my high lift jack mounted on the hood hinges


But I want to be able to put my windshield down flat for flat towing.

I have a little space on the spare tire carrier on the passenger side (this is an older picture):


So I bought a jack mount designed for JK's & JL's. I welded up a bracket with some 1.5 x 1.5 x 1/8" angle and attached it to the tire carrier:


Painted it and re-assembled everything. Now I can lay the windshield down andI can remove the high-lift without breaking my back.

 

Thanks for this. Been thinking of the same thing.

 

Beach Jeep!!

 

You should make this your swimming jeep.

 

It’s not a stock color. Cynthia picked it out from an EBay store.

Looking back in my pictures I see that it took just over 3weeks from the time I started sanding to paint today.

 

.......Pritinear the same color as Grant's , too. Looks Nice.....Real Nice

 

Added a rear brake line valve/lock.

 

Total frame and underbody restoration.



In under 10 minutes.

 

.......Teeming rain here , so's it's a good time for this Kid to go in.
& while I'm at it.........After a 2 year wait , I can R & R my TB, too. Can any one tell the Difference ? ( Hint : I'll be able to go a Lot faster , now )

 

More whoopahhhh?

 

Yes Sir....... Ported for better air induction on her 231 Turbo V6. It should be my final step in the overall tune .

 

Last week I started hearing a lot of noise from the fan indicating the water pump bearings were going out. The fan blade was pretty wobbly as well.

Since I had to open the system up anyway I decided to check the timing chain. It was very worn out. I suspected that because it was getting noisy too. It is the original chain from 1971.

I rebuilt this engine in 1989 but I did not have the time & money to get a new timing chain set, so I am paying for that mistake now. At that time this was my daily driver and I was doing the work in a gravel parking lot in front of my apartment building. I was trying to get it done as quick as possible because the land lord was giving me the evil eye.


I also took the opportunity to join the heater delete club. I don't need it any more and it was just another potential leak point. I'll be making a cover plate soon.
