TJ has the name right it is "Wobble" not "Rattle" and its a rush when it happens!
I am not a fan of steering stabilizers for on hi-way vehicles. Typically they are installed because they look...
Old School my A#@! That bad boy is an sleeper if I ever saw one. In my "Old School" we didn't have that kind of technology that's for sure! What is trying to hide under the hood, is a far cry from...
Jeff is correct on both points. A fish scale works well. Too tight and the wheel will have difficulty returning to center after a turn. Too loose and you will get shimmying and if it is loose enough,...
Theoretically there might be a way to machine something up, but basically no. I think it would be very costly and all custom. Its an oldie, you need to learn to double clutch it. In my early truck...
Your welcome davide! It sounds like you are making good progress. I cant wait to see it on the road.
VT just make sure you have free play at the pedal. About 1" at the pedal is plenty. Free play is the distance between the throw out bearing and the fingers on the clutch pressure plate. You want the...
An X sized socket will work. You can make your own tool with 2 sockets and/or washers and a piece of all-thread and two nuts. You need to be sure the seals push in square.
Hopefully the lesson was well learned! The flying isn't bad, the landing is usually rough.
Yikes! That mailbox jumped right out there.
I used a Champion in mine. I had to do a little work to make it fit but, it went pretty well. The other option is to purchase a reproduction. The reproduction can get expensive.

Welcome JB! Lets see the beasts.
I cant wait to watch this one grow!
Not really. You might be able to take out a very small amount but you will run into the stops on the sector shaft on full turns. The high point is adjusted at assembly and isn't really a wear...
Steve what do the plugs look like? Is it steaming them? Is there white steam in the exhaust? If the head gasket is blown there should be bubbles in the water in the radiator when the engine is...
That's a nice looking Jeep! It is certainly all there. I will tell you nothing will come in more handy than the service manual when it comes to working on your brakes.
I was thinking some 24's so you could strap on some Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS 21/58-24LT's! The 58" diameter should give you adequate ground clearance.

Sorry about that Wulfie, I should have clarified that! All of the weight sits on the top rubber on top of the cross member. Here is a photo from underneath (its blurry I couldn't hold still standing...
I can see it is getting quite a notch worn into it at the one end. I would say time to replace that one
Mike, The Willys F4-134 was introduced in 1950. It was in civilian Jeeps, CJ-3B, CJ-5, and CJ-6 models. It was also used in the Willys 473 and 475 pickups, wagons, and sedan deliveries. If you have a...
Here is a pic of how it goes. Everything sets on the cross member and the bolt goes through the cross member.

Looking good Joey!
The exact tray might be tough to find, but I used one of these.

I would just use the block. Rebuild it as if it was a Willys 134. Have the shop use the WIllys parts and the new block. It is possible there are different components in the engine. If the valves are...
Definitely the part that separates the men from the boys. The turbo plumbing is artwork.
