I found an all original Jeepster that was in a shop for 40 years. It was a great help in identifying the original parts for my restoration and where...

I agree mrgt, what a classic look. I remember in the 60's thinking how "inferior" that old stuff looked compared to our cool looking stuff we "young"...

Lewis, the idle circuit is probably the culprit. I have written a few times about that circuit. Even in a brand new old stock rebuild kit that...

That looks so cool and vintage.

Similar to the early gladiator SJ j series, except you've got voltage! Those are both cool looking

you can officially say "it runs and drives". Now there's some debate about not saying it steers or stops. But that thing definitely runs and drives....

Well we've finally got success! Replaced the fuel tank & complete distributor assembly, and now runs no problem! Will use only non-ethanol fuel for...

I found a couple of photos of Truck and Wagon Dash styles. The early trucks had the machine finish face with white instruments, and the wagons had...

Thanks bmorgil, I'm amazed as well how far this project as come. To see it move is quite fun for me.

Super options from gm there Joey, both of them. Original hubs if you can.

How we doing on your build?

Yet another Hiccup. So I had some issues with a broken bolt on one of my front hubs. The bolt is for the axle flange and I just could not get it out...

Thanks for the information. I found the parts I need at http://willysdistributors.com/

Any little burble or change in RPM on a single engine over water would make you draw up a bit..... Bmorgil is right on the money on the carb tune...

The moon is up, the darkness is down!

"You get tuned in to your toy and you start listening for things that aren't there." You even know how it is supposed to smell; anti-freeze,...

If I could somehow stop my mind from listening to every little sound it would help my sanity. You get tuned in to your toy and you start listening...

Few posts back some whirring noises were mentioned, and some have been identified. By misadventure, of course. This is just a long post, felt like...

Seems pretty sound mechanically, drove it some without brakes, engine sounds sweet, 4 wheel drive works, tranny feels good, needs brakes!

I hope he doesn't have the budget for it. That always makes it fun.

You have a lot of Wagon left to work on. Not many rust-throughs and a lot of nice pieces left - especially the wood inserts for the back end. ...

Amy has the Gallery on her list of things she would like to tune up.
