Steve, it looks like you have graduated to T90 trans technician! I always assemble them completely and run them through the gears a few times on the bench. The trans should shift with minimal effort...

Wow that is a great story. I did see the "unicorn" at the Jeep fest. One of a kind is for sure! I remember during that time my Dad bringing home various prototypes of the Jeeps. He was always testing...

I think a lot of "Bubba's" have a common "plumbing approach" to the electrical system. There's a wire... I'll just tap in there with this piece of wire I cut out over here... and hook up this new...

Here it is... I am sure I saw TJ laying under this with a camera. I wonder what hes up to next.... ...

How true... Only Larry can tell the story of the G.O.A.T.! The best part of the GOAT story, is how Larry, regardless of the repulsion from the duty at hand, persevered! That's why they made him...

Nice work Mike! It is coming along really well. I love the 79 year old part. I like to think these old Jeeps are here to remind us from where we came.

The oil can is priceless. I have a couple of...

I don't think you have a neutral gear TJ! I foresee more projects in your future. Perhaps a Willys Gasser with a few thousand horsepower?

I love the look of that thing TJ! Gonna be hard to part with that one.

Take some pictures Steve. Why it failed to me is the most important part of a good mechanics job. I am wondering if we cant figure it out from Lots of pics. It is tough to tell from your description....

First as gm said, thank you very much for your service!

Love the sleuthing part. I think you will be surprised at how much you can do to a vintage Jeep. I cant think of any parts you cant find...

The CJ3A was a foot starter until its last years. At that time it could have been purchased with either a foot switch or, a remote key switch like we are all familiar with today. You could have...

Well the good news is there are only a few circuits and no computer.

I am liking Jeff's long flat screwdriver idea.

Todd, I think that switch might be spring loaded from behind. If there isn't a large nut like Jeff suggested, I think you need to push the switch from the back of the dash forward and turn it to...

OMG Todd the dang picture "thing" gets us all! For some of us it is a cell phone thing. My Android will transfer a correctly oriented picture if I hold the phone horizontally with the bottom of the...

You are sure right there Jeff! A compression tester? Is it Bluetooth??? Will it work on my IPhone?

Yes the precision of the fuel delivery is important but, you still see the best "all out" horsepower from a carburetor. As old as that design is, on the dyno a well tuned carb has been proven over...

Welcome SDTJ! The KW catalog is required in every bathroom! I remember those catalogs well. Very dog eared by the time Christmas arrived.

Welcome Todd! It looks clean. It wont take you long to get her "dialed in".

It really does show the evolution of combustion technology. A GM "Gen V" L83 Engine has 11 to 1 compression and runs on 87 octane fuel with 32 degrees of ignition timing. That is just Wow!

gm I think you are totally all over it. The CAN system certainly has increased the cost and complexity of a relatively straight forward device, the pickup truck. My 1977 does everything my 2015 does,...

The main criteria for me was to find a Willys that still had the floor actuator. I wouldn't give that up for all the tea in china!

It is getting very hard to find the shops we were so used to in...

It cant be.... The Heep is never down!

Since we are going on an octane journey here, I like this chart. Notice how even though we "got the lead out" and octane ratings stabilized, compression ratios continued to climb. In fact some of the...

Awesome Larry! The 48' is back on the road! I will be taking peeJ out this week myself. I cant wait for the first show.
