I'm no poet, but I try. I really appreciate all you guys kind words and compliments. Things like that really help me strive to do better everyday.

Those rusty bolt gremlins seem to strike on everything. Nothing worse then making a five minute job take five hours because a bolt broke off. Firm believer in never-seize.

I've heard good things...

It is sketchy that's for sure. I can just smell the rods twisting already. But hey, it was a cool experiment. And I appreciate you complement on my welds!

Yes, I made body mounts out of some heavy ¼ inch rubber. I did grease the rear bearings through the zerk fitting. I did when I first got the jeep and again last week. Although I didn't know about the...

This could solve all the problems with the 134! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/998037391666684/?ref=marketplace_pdp_share Definetely looks tempting, maybe its a good thing i dont have...

Im planning on ordering a rear main seal pretty soon, Then if i dont get it installed before Bantam ill do it right after. Can i do a rope seal with the crank in place? Anything ive seen says you...

I hadnt really thought of it being rear axle noise. But it could be, it sounds like its coming from the tranny but with a loud exhaust, top down, and every single noise resonating under the tub it is...

Im running just straight 30 weight oil in the engine. If my understanding is correct, 20-50 will be thicker when hot? As for the linkages making noise, All i can say is there is a lot of moving...

Hats off to the brave, heroic men and women who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our security and freedom for generations. We as American will forever be in your debt. Their...

Another thing, (I don't mean to keep bombarding the site with questions) but the transmission was making noise. It's always been there but I want tk know if it's normal or not. Going slow (say under...

Thanks gents, so I can do a rubber seal without pulling the crank? But not a rope seal. Where should I get the seal from? I don't want to do this twice if I don't have to, so I want to make sure I...

Today I didn't have a lot of time and didn't feel like messing with oil stuff. So I tackled some more wiring issues, got the fog lights wired up. I wanted yellow tint, but everywhere I looked I could...

Bmorgil, you hurt me when I read I need to pull the crank! My buddy just did a rear main seal on his truck and was able to just pull the pan and swap the seal out. I was really hoping that was the...

I know on my cj5 with 9 inch brakes. It actually stops pretty decently. Although I haven't had a deer or toryota pull out in front of me yet. When that happens I might change mind! But just normal...

Flossy with a proud owner.

Well guys, I made it to the car show, and even better we made it back!! Thank you all for the encouragement, I wasn't sure if I should take it or not but between you folks and my brother said our...

An idea that was given to me, which I actually like the sound of. Take an old military "jerry can" and solder a fitting on the bottom to attach a fuel line. Add one or even two in the bed of the...

Well, the last couple days have been crazy, from working on flossy through 12:30 Friday night, then working all day today. I finally got her put back together. I didn't get any pictures I was so busy...

Yeah, but who will the neighbors talk about 20 years from now, the guy who kept his lawn nice or the guy who ripped sick donuts in a 70 year old jeep!! And it's got a roll cage and safety harnesses,...

Wednesday I got u bolts, lower shock plates and new shocks installed. And finished installing the rear bumber.

Then today I got the brake pedal in place, I need another washer then the clutch can...

I'll put things back how it's supposed to be, the thing that had me puzzled is the nut on the end is hollow inside to hold grease. And everything about it just looks like a factory setup, maybe Bubba...

I guess I'll do an oil change and put in different oil. The non detergent was recommended when I first got the jeep. The oil was foaming and getting weird, I filled it up with non detergent and now...

Thank you, I'll get some oil and get the axle lube changed. I like Bmorgils writeups, you have alot more knowledge about oil then I thought was possible, but lubrication will make or break an engine....

So I've never changed axle fluids yet, I need to before I go on the road. Just wondering what I should use, I know I've heard good things about using corn head grease in the knuckles. But what should...

Flossy is back in black. I painted the floors today, just sprayed some majic tractor paint thinned 8 parts to 1. It actually looks pretty good, I tried to spray it on pretty thick to be more durable,...
