Thank you

Here's a shot of the dash. The bottom photo is most recent. I replaced the turn signal switch there, Still has original steering wheel and has 2 12v/USB outlets in the front as well. No AM/FM radio just a Motorola UHF radio I have setup for GMRS. The original Speedo/odometer still work, I...

1976 CJ5 "H" code with 304 V8, power steering, T150 Transmission, D20 Transfer Case, AMC20 rear axle with one piece axle shafts, Dana 30 front axle. Best Top Super Top. Clean Texas title in hand. Lots of work done about 2 years ago. Removed body from frame, frame cleaned up and repainted...

Beware of only carrying gas generator type fire extinguishers. I would also keep a dry chem on hand has well. In something like a Class A or a class C electrical fire, once the gas dissipates, you'll probably get reignition. Dry chem has the advantage of smothering fires and in a Class C fire...

Can you take off the whole plastic airdam, and it still looks ok?

Finally, pulled the original L134 from the CJ2 down for inspection for overhaul to replace the blown engine. With exception of the cam. I don't have the tool I need to removed the valves from the block yet. But, everything is looking ok right now and useable for a rebuild. Bearings were...

I wasn't able to find much info on here. This site has a picture of her in uniform.

Pulled the engine. Removed the trans/tcase and started removing the stuff I need for the other block. I was looking closer at the other block and I think I'm going to tear is down and at least have the block hot tanked. The cooling passages are full of stuff that looks like mud. The pistons...

Been in and out of the garage a lot, spent a few days in Mexico with the wifey. Still working some of the last bugs out of the CJ2. After getting the transmission back in and getting it going down the road, that same day, I developed a squeak in the front driver's wheel that I traced to the...

So yesterday I finished the transmission assembly. Something that should have taken a few hours took most of the day as I had to backtrack multiple times due to out of spec measurements to add shims or just plain forgetting stuff. In the later part of the day when the temps were pushing 100...

There's one up close to the Queen Wilhelmina state park.

Spent a few days in the Ouachitas for a motorcycle event called Rich Mountain Rendezvous. It's a charity event that benefits CASA. I used to go on motorcycles but ride a lot less than I used to and for the past two years have taken the CJ5. I wanted to take my CJ2 but the transmission is...

When it rains... Transmission on the CJ2, intake manifold Valley pan on the 5 to try to curb its oil consumption, then after finishing the manifold the turn signal switch decides to fracture where the lever is making jt useless On a positive note the closest ORileys actually has one in stock...

Just waiting on parts now.

Been busy and not able to post much. I'm slated to go to Arkansas on a trip Thrus-Sun this week coming up and was going to tow the CJ2A up and use it. Well about a week ago it got jammed in gear and I tore into it to find 2 of the 3 synchro keys missing one end and one of them had backed out...

I would be cautious about what I did on an incident scene past basic EMR/CPR certification stuff. Especially since something like medical O2 is a prescription drug. That's just me. Good Samaritan laws aren't all encompassing.

Have you kept your certifications up to date?

Modern cans seal really well. I've never had the 2.5 or 5 gallon cans leak in the vehicle. I have smelled fuel a few times and though it was those cans but it was my main fuel tank venting pressure though the cap at higher altitudes. The Harbor Freight ones are good to go but have the CARB...

Kinda related to my Jeeps as it's where I keep them. With the CJ2 project coming to an end, it was time for a big purge and reorganizing of the shop. I still need to go through the shelves, but that's a whole job in and of itself. I also ran out of garbage can space, ha. I also tore down the...
