That's for sure, seems like you just have to make the time. If I could only count the number of times I walked by it and said I needed to work on it.
Hey guys, long time since I've posted anything. Haven't done much of anything to the ole DJ lately. I did however get it started up today!!!! It runs, drives, stops!!!! Sounds good too. It has given...
So far so good guys, seem to have most everything I need. I have headlights, marker lights, blinkers, wipers, fuel pump, all guages and lights. Just need to decide what to get for rear lights, blower...
Thanks for the help/tips guys. I did purchase a 12 fuse, fuse panel to get me started, now I'm just pulling old wires out and figuring out how and where to route them. So far good.
Not real great with wiring, just the basics really. I have been looking at a Hot rod wiring page and they have broken it down nicely. Going to wire it all from scratch basically
Thanks for the tip. I pulled the carb off and took the top half off, surprisingly it wasn't too bad in there pretty clean. The float seems to be in working order. I will have to try an in line...
Managed to get a couple hours in in the DJ this morning! Got the fuel tank installed, fuel line ran, and the fuel pump hooked up. I have it on accessory power with an in line toggle switch. Turn...

Don't worry guys I'm still working on the DJ, unfortunately only a few minutes at a time it seems. So many other things I need to get done this time of year...you know yard work and such....
Thanks guys, hopefully it won't be long before I'm able to get it up and going!
Going to be mounting my fuel pump this weekend with any luck...it was previously mounted on the front fender but I'm going to move it to the firewall instead. The question is should I run power from...
Thanks, I've heard the gravel trick before...it's not too bad varnish wise but there a alot of rust spots/ bubbles if you will....just the openings are too small to fit a hand in to scrub.
Well didn't get much time on the Jeep this weekend, but I did get a bunch of yard work done. Lol. However I did manage to get the radiator cleaned out, fins straightened and mounted. Looks like the...
Thanks guys, those are some good little tricks.
Thanks again Gmwillys, I appreciate all your help and head scratching you give. It's getting close to running and driving now. Definitely have to replace the pinion seals on the t-case as they are a...
Will do, it's definitely a long road, but a good one, lots of learning too.
Got some more time in on the Jeep today, shocks are in, trans, and transfer have new fluid. Gotta get the tank cleaned and mounted then run a new fuel line, mount the radiator, should be able to move...
Thanks for all the tips/advice guys much appreciated
Yeah not sure what I will do for tires yet, but do like the look of 31-10.5's. but I really would like to keep the doors operational. Who knows though....
25422543just a few pics of the rear frame repair. Just a few things spots here and there to take care of and the frame should be good.
What's everyone running for a tire size? I have 31-10.50-15 right now, love the look just the doors are not on there lower tracks so they can open without hitting the tires.
Thanks for the advice guys!!
Got back in the shop over the weekend...no luck getting the broken exhaust bols from the block, tried welding nuts to the existing bolts but they didn't want any part of it. They are recessed in the...
