The Tightsteer is to help with a worn sector shaft thrust surface. You will know if you have a problem with this with a visual inspection. First you must be sure the steering box is in the center of...

Nice and, permanant!

Coffee and bourbon always both!

One thing to add... On the Pertronix ignition, there is an Ignitor and an Ignitor II. These ignitions use a magnetically switched trigger (not a magnetic pulse). This has a majior advantage and a...

There is no arguing your point on the "Points" gmwillys! To add to that, in the event of a HPEM the points will keep running! With the Pertronix the whole thing replaces the points plate. You even...

Ha ha! I love the nostalgia of the whole thing. That is going to be a sweet ride with air, cruisin' through the Pima McDonald's that's for sure. I think gmwillys has had some bad experiences with...

The wheel shimmy could be a few things. Tire balance will cause it. On a front drive/steer axle like the Willys, often it is the steering knuckle pivot bearings. If the preload gets too loose on the...

You've made some great decisions on the project okiemark. I am happy with the body kit from KW on my CJ3A. It did need some work to make it fit. I wrote about some difficulties I had with mine. I...

Last time? You mean on this go round I take it! It is a very old Willys, it may need you from time to time!

You can't get any better than that!

I think the hope was the transfer case would block everything? Well it looks like you are almost ready for a test ride.

Picture okiemark.

If it is on the side of the tube, it is probably for the brake line tee bolt.

It is chapter 6 in the Military Manual. It starts on page 114. https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn%3Aaaid%3Ascds%3AUS%3Acc44df5e-b547-48b1-9929-f4861a344c4d If this isn't what you...

I hate that when the thoughts creep in. Well lets hope for no leaks. My brother calls these 15 minute projects. Projects that turn into monumental events!

It is probably for a vent. Send a pic.

The concern is on the drive side of the gears. That is the convex side on the ring gear. That side should be the one that tells the story. The drive side of the pinion is a little blurry in the...

I think you are saying that you will have .005" of end play. That's pretty good.

The lip goes towards the oil. The oil pushes against the lip pushing it down making a better seal. If it was lip out it would be too easy for the oil to leak out.

The military manual (TM-8015-2) is posted on this site here.

A CJ5 with some nice tires has always been a cool looking rig! Good luck on the find! What motor do you have?

It is coming back!

What do you use for a face mask so you can breath while the dust is flying? Everything I try fog's my safety glasses.

Let me know how it goes , I'll be standing by.

You shouldn't need to get to the bearing. Assemble it with no sealant on the shims then check the end play like they show in the Novack Guide. When you are confident there is more than .002" and less...

It's not as bad as it seems. It is important for the life of the transfer case to get it right.

The Novak Guide here does a good job. ...

The below is from the Novac Guide. It is pretty good. http://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/rebuild-guides/dana-18-rebuild-guide
