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,...

Thanks guys, I'll have to get a bolt for the diff cover and run a hose. Then I'll probably just plug the hole in the cover. I checked my spare 44 and it doesn't have anything.

The bolt on the canister lid, should have a rubber grommet/washer. On my engine before I changed canister seals it had enough pressure to push oil through around the lid. Redneck oil pressure guage!

I'd take a good look at the pedal assembly/linkage. I've been dealing with that on my jeep, it all wears and gets sloppy, which can lead to improper function. That is likely the cause for scraping...

Thank you guys! When spraying the primer, I definitely made some mistakes and got a lot of runs in it. But like gm said for a first time, i can totally accept it, and if my first paint job was...

The crazy thing is, my junkyard parts jeep which is COMPLETELY rusted literally everywhere. And had been sitting buried in the mud at the end of a driveway for probably 20 years. The dust caps were...

So I noticed while Flossy was on jack stands the left rear tire and a decent clunk when I shook it. So I popped of the dust cover, which has the usual Flossy rust! And pulled out the cotter pin and...

I got a bunch of stuff ordered for the pedals today. I even got pedal return springs, I've never had that luxury so I'm anxious to see how it feels.

Also, in the mail today was a fresh license...

Both pedals are sloppy, mostly the brake. The clutch can be tightened with the bolt and be good. But the frame bracket is worn, the cross shaft has ⅛" grooves worn in it, and is as straight as a back...

Thank you guys! I wasn't sure if it was something that should be adjusted periodically, as part of routine maintenance. But that's one less thing on my list of things to do. I just didn't want to...

I could be entirely wrong, but if I remember correctly. When I had the clutch inspection plate off the bellhousing, there are adjustments on the pressure plate? If so, what do I adjust and what spec...

I hadn't planned on spending the money right now, but I reckon it will be worth it. It was always annoying when I stomped on the brakes and feel the pedal move side to side. And now is the time to...

Hearing some radio chatter as you walk by an old military jeep would be so cool.

I talked to a gentleman with an MB who made a replica machine gun water cannon. When people walk by and you soak...

Thank you! I'll get it pulled apart and drill it out.
