Gotta love thread inserts of all types. I have repaired some lost causes with them. In the right circumstance, the type of insert you use can even...

Heli Coils save the day again and again. Heli Coils and speedy sleeves are some of the greatest inventions in the modern era.

Easier than pulling a transmission/transfer case and buying an adapter plate. Heli Coil for a win. I knew this before pulling starter due to last...

:cool:talk about 10 lbs of Kick A** stuffed in a 3 lb bag, you surely did that jb!!! Looks Awesome!!!

I love the way you are not intimidated by tearing it out and looking for improvement. A lot of persons would say "good enough". It is that drive to...

It's insane on how much hydraulic lines have gone up in price. Years ago, working in a dealership, I can remember most hoses were around $20 per,...

So I had some things I didn’t like about the hydroboost so I tore it all out and got a new hydroboost/mastercylinder for different setup. Better,...

I am not sure it matters Jeff. I think I put them in first.

NAPA was able to get the seal for me. Before I install it, I wanted to ask when people think the best time is to install the transfer case shift rail...

It looks like a Gulfstream jet interior..... wow!

Thanks for the info!

JB that Baby will be a SEMA contestant for sure when you getter finished up!!!!

Those shift rail seals have been giving a few trouble. You really have to watch the "Will Fit" stuff. Just because it will fit, certainly does not...

Wow that is really a nice looking interior. What a cruiser that thing is going to be! I cant wait to see the trailer....

Glad to hear that your engine is running smooth. That will be a load of your mind for sure.

Those seats will be a whole lot more comfortable than the original seats, that's for sure. They look like they belong there. Great job!

Baby steps……. :)

Yes. I'm happy the motor isn't seriously hurt. And hopefully I can get a long time out of it without problems. I thought it was weird that some bolts...

I thought I might finally get this transfer case reassembled but it isn’t going to happen today. The shift rail seal from Crown rolled the lip when I...

Kaiser Willys sells copper gaskets for the bolts but I gave up asking on how they are installed. Gasket, flat washer then bolt makes the most sense...

That's about as good of a situation as you could ask for! Interesting the head stud nuts were that loose.

Yes they will leak. Spray them each with High Tack. Some of the bolts in the case will also all leak if they penetrate the case and enter the lube...

I thought a while back someone was talking about what about what to seal the transfer case rear bearing cover shims with. I can’t find the post. I...

So over the last few weeks i reassembled the oil pan after confiriming the bearings/ wrist pins are good. I then set valve lash and finised putting...

I need to add lube to my list.

The first thing that pops into my mind for grinding gears after a fresh reassembly is clutch adjustment. The second is something did not get...

That is looking great. You are going to be an expert at early Jeep body work!

Yes if you overfill it it will definitely leak from the original front input shaft seal. Remove the fill plug from the transfer case and the...

The floor replacement was easier than the dent repairs in the rear quarters and this is my first bit of body work I have ever done so it didnt come...
