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.
VT I would start by trying to adjust the clutch free play. They don't need much. Just a half inch at the pedal should be a good place to start. If you cant get the free play correct, the linkage...
Hello Mike! I find G503.com, CJ2A page and CJ3A&B page to be very good sources of information. The thing to remember especially on the early trucks and flat fenders, poor record keeping and parts...
VT see if this discussion helps your decision.

The most important thing to remember abut Ethanol is...
The fender I can see doesn't look too bad. I would try to use the originals if you can. Nothing will fit like them on the original body. There are excellent reproduction parts out there also....
The rear support might be set up to fit all the CJ's, trim to fit. The early will be shorter than the later CJ's.
I have two of those Colman Camp stoves! What is it about cooking over white gas that makes food smell so good? You will use the heck out of the blasting cabinet. I have a similar one and an outdoor...
Welcome aboard!
CaptB, a great start for a restore! Man it looks really complete. The top is a very nice thing to have. That CJ should restore like new.
Nice! Sounds like a perfect day working on the Willys. Hang on to that tag. You can buy a new rivit online.
