Have I ever mentioned how awesome and brilliant you are! I made the changes you suggested and the main shaft does not turn. Before I finish the...

The easiest way is to shift the transmission into two gears at once. With the cover off the transmission, engage first or reverse, and also second or...

I finally had a good nights sleep yesterday. Today I wanted to torque the transfer case input gear on to the T-86 output shaft. The spec is...

Eureka!! Thanks 56willys (and of course everybody else). I don't have the bracket for the firewall mount, but see exactly where mine bolted up to...

Not sure if this will help, my cj5 has a cane style handle.(I'm assuming that is because it's early in production) But it just bolts right on the...

My absolute favorite track. Nothing like Talladega.

Thanks GM. I am 100% dialed in on how everything hooks up on the t-case end. I've even seen more cable routing pics on the ECJ5 forum too. I have...

Talladega campgrounds is always a great place to wet your whistle with homemade hooch. Some really good, but others not so much.

The CJ5s used the style that you are showing, the twist lock handle that mounts up under the dash lip. The spring that mounts from the frame ear...

I think I've figured out that the cable I have is not correct. Neither is my cane description, I have a t-handle. I still have no idea how/where...

Parts should be here in a couple days and the parking brake should be complete. But as with every step of this process, I find myself with more...

No Mark, Digger or Killer Beaz? I found the same problem with commercialization when I was in Nashville last year. Luckily, at PIR for the NASCAR...

The Alabama mash doesn't hold a candle to the stuff from Tennessee. With all the commercialization of the shine business, the good stuff is harder...

You bring some of that fine Alabama Mash, and you are on gm!

If one ever gets the chance to go and experience the Toledo Jeep Fest, it is well worth your time. Toledo is a wonderful city, and the folks are...

True, the smell of burning brakes wasn't the only foul smell that there was in the air. I wasn't a first responder in regards to being on the fire...

LOL, Probably better following the extinguishers

Re: Fuel Tanker Fire I'll bet there was another trail you could have used to track him as well!

David it is truly a process of what works best for you, with what you have. It will certainly go back together per your plan. The project is looking...

I love it Bob! Thanks for sharing that. I ask because I spent a number of years at Laguna Seca and Sears Point back in my SCCA days. So anything...

Now that information is definitely classified! I don't know exactly who knows that I lit that one... Hahah! I know a few Mechanics were ready to take...

Good stories are always worth repeating. And these are good! Now I have to ask what track you were at Bob and GM were you a first responder.

Close, it was a fuel tanker leaving the refinery. When he filled the trailer, the bar that goes across the valves on the trailer will not release...

Like we spoke of in another thread gm, I am also guilty. I lit an 18 wheel semi on fire on a test track, and we couldn't put it out! However gm, I...

I got short battery cables from Rural King (my local tractor store) for wiring my starter solenoid. Cheap and effective!

I have one of these. It works in the vise or the press. ...

I don't know the length requirement without measuring however like you referenced, just buy a longer cable.

That would be nice; is 13" long enough though? (I know - just get a longer one if it isn't).

I'm thinking pre-made cable for a garden tractor! Tractor Supply or somewhere similar.

The greasy ball peen hammer works pretty good in a pinch. I finally invested in an Amazon special hydraulic crimper that works pretty darned good. ...
