That is what I faced also Mark. Literally nothing left to start with! My floorboard and rear area was not recognizable. I was Happy with what I got from KW. It was a newer tub kit and had all the...

Haha! A justifiable event.

Modern slap stick.

Oh man that is a serious tool. I like that for sure. The garage has a vehicle that would love one of those. A genuine Warn. It doesn't get any better than that. There is an old movie, a comedy called...

The metering rod provides the transition, cruise and high speed fuel. If the rod fell out it should have been way rich everywhere but full load. Unless the rod fell into the jet closing it, then it...

Wow how did that happen? Do you have the screw adjustable rod or the "bend the tab" adjustment?

Mark if it runs better with a little choke, that is the classic plugged idle jet in a Carter carb (assuming no vacuum leaks). The Idle "Jet" is actually a tube with a tiny and I mean tiny hole in it....

Mark, if you give it some choke can you get it to idle down a little and stop surging and dying?

Looking like new man! If the springs and bushings are new, you have to drive it around a bit and let the springs and bushings settle in. Some bumps and passengers are helpful here. Mine leaned left...

Great example of why it is best to go right to the glass shop. I left it all up to them, the seal, the fitting and all. They came up with the correct seals, fitted the glass and put it right in there...

You made a good call on the windshield. I bought a pre-cut windshield and it was too big for my frame. I called the local glass guy and they showed up and ground it to fit in my garage! Then they...

Your moving along well on that thing now! Great on the temp! It is not always that easy to get em to run cool. The windshield is definitely a best kept secret. As your glass guy quickly recognized it...

Looking super good! A pillow and of course, the Forum has a requirement that you post photo's of you driving sittin' on a pillow.

It lives! It is getting closer to "take it out and run it" time.

Try Isopropyl Alcohol. Soak it good and rub at it with a soaked rag. It will usually dissolve most adhesives (and permanent ink).

On mine the grill was one of the few body pieces that survived the rust. It was solid. Bent up here and there but solid. I spent a lot of time on it. When I gave it to my body man he said, "well...

Thats the factory CJ3A setup alright! Just like an old tractor.

I have had good success using LED replacements from these guy's. https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/car-boat-light-bulbs/

I...

You Guy's are spoiled! The early CJ's (like mine) have ONE bulb tucked under a hood in the middle of the dash above all the gauges. That's it! However at a whopping 45mph, you do have a bit more time...

I think I understood what you mean. Front to back on the engine or side to side on the rod.

No the side to side is controlled by the rods and crank themselves. I doubt there is a problem there, unless you spun a bearing. You would know that by the knocking sound when it was running.

Yes...

If you don't want to "crack the caps" and take a peak, Be sure of a few things since you are close to being right on top of any problems. Since it ran well and no knocking sounds, it would indicate...

Yes I agree, a good sign to pull the pan off. There are a few spots where it works fantastic. In general it must be kept out of the motor that's for sure. It will harden in the oil and drift around....

Man, I leaked on mine also. Got it all together and the crush washer at the master leaked. I really had to tighten that sucker. It of course ruined the new paint on the heat shield below the leak.

That is looking excellent!

gm do the CJ5 fenders mount like the cj2 and 3's ? Is he missing the main bracket that holds the fender to the frame? I didn't think the CJ5 had that big center brace to the frame. On an older CJ...
