Oh man Cajun, grab the water jug and a crate and take it for a lap!

Awesome Cajun! Yes the gear cut will handle the rest. If it doesn't, the clutching gear teeth are worn out.

The pins are hardened "Roll Pins". They are not hard to replace. You need to make a careful observation as to which end of the roll pin is the tip so to speak. Roll pins have one end that is...

The four wheel shift lever should be engaged or shaft forward, prior to installing the poppet balls, springs and plugs.

The shift fork should not be loose on the rail. It should fit smoothly with...

Cajun this could be a few things but, lets start with the shift rail issue in the transfer case. It sounds like you need to install the shifter and try the shifts completely assembled. If you are...

The convenience of the kits and the quality are fine from both sources. I would use the Fel-Pro Transfer case gasket set, they have a few different ones. The best prices will probably be found by...

Good point on the original harness Larry. KW has a big selection.

It's a simple harness, a basic DC circuit, if you have a bit of electrical skill it can be replicated fairly easily. All you need to do is follow the factory diagram, and Jeff's advice on circuit...

Man you did find some Gems! Great shot of the hunt. It sure looks cold.

That steering box of yours intends to be a tough one. The bearings should go in fairly easy. A little persuasion is OK but,...

I would try a different vendor. They definitely need to fit tight. It is the press fit collapsing the bushings, that makes them need to be reamed in the first place. I have also read about the same...

I have copper lines on mine running around the shop and barn. I have always fought water in the tank and lines. Its so humid around here and, the temperature fluctuations just build up a ton. I...

Blasting can warp the metal, but you can control how agressivly you go after it. Media blasting with corn cob works very well. gmwillys has great success with the "flapper wheels" from Harbor...

I agree, looking great Cajun! I would be very satisfied with the results you are getting. Just wait till it is rolling.

The cup is part of the cross member.

Looking like a perfect restoration Cajun! Nice way to go on the inverted frame and tub. Not quite as big as an elephant but clearly a "one bite at a time" project!

I also use gloss on the frames. I have done it that way since I did one in flat and then saw how the oil stained it. It is more absorbent than gloss. Gloss is much eiasier to clean.

I wish I...

Cajun, if you can get the numbers from the bearings and search them. Also, Rock Auto is going to be tough to beat.

Looking like its coming back now Cajun! Nice work on the grill. That is the one piece you always want to try to keep original. The signature Jeep grill.

Looking good now Cajun! The gloves are definitely done.

It lays on strips.

You can use a few different things. ...

Cajun it is sounding like you should have just bought the lid and hinge! You are ending up making the rest.

I agree gm, should have fitted that body At Least once! I put my Juan body kit on three...

gm so the tool boxes are all the same? It sounds like your consensus is the boxes you buy today are a good starting point. I take it OMIX is the only supplier.

I think the vendors web site is wrong. OMIX lists it as 46 thru 71.
...

I see on the web site that box is supposed to fit 1946 thru 1971 CJ's. I have to wonder about that. OMNIX lists a different box for 1955 thru 1971. I am pretty sure there were changes made to give...

Looking good Cajun. What could the KW tool box piece have done better?
