The thickness of the body mounts varies a little bit. The original Jeep parts manual lists 3/16" as the #1 body hold down, 1/2" as the #2, 1/4" as the #3, and 1/8" as the #4,#5 and #6 liners. When...

I can still clearly remember the Delorean sales. Many owners ended up painting them. All you needed was for someone to put a sweaty hand on it and, out comes the buffer. They were very difficult to...
Like gm said, anything hard rubber will work. Depending on the thickness you need, cut pieces of conveyor belting also works extremely well. On my Jeep the mounts are the original thickness that came...
Yikes! I think I like the patina a bunch more. The polished stainless looks like chrome. It is unique. The Heep has a much better personality. I like the bare carbon steel.
Wow your electric guy is one of a kind gm. An honorable repair shop. That is a great price. I think we are down to one electrical component repair shop around here for 50 miles. It seems like all you...
It will be the real Delorean deal then gm! Once you polish it they say its a daily thing keeping it that way.
I hear ya 56', she's been initiated. I will have to find an indoor offroad...
OK it had to happen... I took peeJ out for the spring. I waited till the sun had been shining for a few days. No standing water in site. Took her out on the mowed cleaned lawn. As I was bringing it...
Hahahah! Great stuff gm. I love it, "Don't be a Herbie"!
Looks great 56', you are doing well and making excellent progress. The body tub is very close to the transfer case. The rubber body mounts should be just enough lift to clear the transfer case by a...
Like we discussed back a few posts 56', I think that number range is .667 to .680. Give Herm a call to verify. This number sets the end play of the unit. It needs about .010". A better way than stick...
There are all kinds of Jeeps running around in every stage of repair or restore you could imagine. I think they all contain a common thread, Lots of Fun! The most important thing you could do with...
I agree TJ, well said gm.
56', like you said your "putting Flossy to work". That floor will work just fine and it ill probably always have something sitting on it!
A new harness is always a good way to go Todd! You know exactly what you have after that install.
I saw that yesterday TJ. I am not sure what happens there. Every now and then its off the map. It happens every time someone brings up the G.O.A.T. story.
And there it is!!!! If you build it TJ, they will come.
I m still laughing at those "Rods" gm!
It sounds like you have it now Steve. Watch that back man! I know you didn't want to crawl under there again.
The original floor wasn't the smoothest thing 56'. I would say gm's method will get you close enough.
Definitely a find on the tailgate. No rust on a scripted tailgate is a rare find indeed.
Definitely got the "approach angle" on the intercooler wrong! Hahaha, maybe the idea was it will be running with the front wheels way off the ground most of the time.
When your shifting it without the transfer case and drive gear on the main shaft, it will move around. You can take a metal strap and put it across two bolt holes and over the edge of the bearing to...
Steve, it looks like you have graduated to T90 trans technician! I always assemble them completely and run them through the gears a few times on the bench. The trans should shift with minimal effort...
Wow that is a great story. I did see the "unicorn" at the Jeep fest. One of a kind is for sure! I remember during that time my Dad bringing home various prototypes of the Jeeps. He was always testing...
I think a lot of "Bubba's" have a common "plumbing approach" to the electrical system. There's a wire... I'll just tap in there with this piece of wire I cut out over here... and hook up this new...
Here it is... I am sure I saw TJ laying under this with a camera. I wonder what hes up to next.... ...
How true... Only Larry can tell the story of the G.O.A.T.! The best part of the GOAT story, is how Larry, regardless of the repulsion from the duty at hand, persevered! That's why they made him...
