Let me start by saying I've been unable to find what I'm looking for in my searches, so if you can point me in the right direction, please feel free. I've spent a good bit of the past couple of weeks cleaning up the wiring harness on my Jeep after some rodents made a meal of a good piece of...

We swear by our cast iron. I definitely think it's worth bringing along. Properly seasoned, I of the mind that it cooks the best :smile:

That seems like an outstanding price for a frame! I'll look him up for sure. I probably won't be buying a new harness based off where I am at this stage in the game, but I have other parts I'll be looking into for sure. I'm, fortunately, through the under hood stuff with the exception of the...

Welcome from Duncan :smile:

Awesome! Thank you. I'll definitely be using this to do some trip planning as soon as I get my rig back on the road.

There's an annual charity ride (motorcycle) I go on which falls on Saturday, so I won't be hitting the poker run. Well, that any my Jeep is out of commission for the moment.

I caught the video, and I'd like a free shirt :smile: Either size will work for me if chosen.

I'm of the mindset that the bills get paid first, and then what's left over is budgeted appropriately. Entertainment is part of that budget, and this hobby is part of that entertainment. The justification requires I answer "can I afford it" and "is it necessary". If both of those questions are...

I'm with you all. Those petrolicious videos tend to draw me in, and I've watched the Willys Jeep video a time or two :smile: Just added to that count thanks to this post.

Is there a good source to find these trails? Is the wildlife department trail list you linked to overland friendly, or is it a combination? The big trail I had heard about (and have yet to do) was the K-Trail, and I've since heard that half is private property and off limits. I've also heard...

I'll spare you the additional wiring pictures, but I'm very close to being done verifying and completing the engine compartment, and almost move on to the rest of the lighting. I have to wire the thermostat, connect the choke, and figure out what one other wire is. I have removed some more...

More wiring clean-up. Getting close to being able to loom the engine compartment. Wiring schematics drive me crazy :smile:

I prefer labor of love. :smile:

For me, it's completely different as I have a huge sentimental attachment to my rig. I've dumped far more money into it than I'd ever reap in return, and I'm getting ready to do it all over again. That out of the way, I'd say that usability, dependability, and reliability are the main factors...

Unintentional thread spam. I came across this beautiful breakdown of the engine side wiring harness pinout, and I think it's going to make my life significantly easier. I'll validate all the main power wires, then look at using the correct "coil" connection (BW) for the HEI, and the "choke"...

Thanks, Ron. I'll be digging into the solenoid and alternator more tomorrow evening and through the weekend when some of my other more pressing projects around the house are done. I spent a good bit of this evening trying to trace out different issues with no real direction. My initial goal was...

Had a minor break today and was able to find that the choke is a simple keyed on connection, and I should be able to find the correct wire based off the service manual. That said, they've got so many diagrams for the different motors / years, I hope I don't have too much trouble finding it. One...

No worries on the pictures, I'm following. The computer is out, and I actually pulled all the loom last night. The wiring was eaten at both the firewall pass-through to the computer, and to the right (if looking from the front) of the valve cover. Fortunately it was the top most looms which...

Awesome build! Definitely a source of inspiration!

Thanks, Ron. The weber / hei swap was the best modification I did. Prior to the "upgrade", I couldn't get it to idle, ever. I just loved the three pedal jig at stoplights :smile:. Now it runs like a champ, and barring an nagging issue with the throttle cable, I have no complaints. That's...
