Man that thing looks solid!

LarrBeard electrical guy, can you give an explanation on what TJ is saying? In particular why do those L.E.D.'s draw so much current? I thought that was the benefit of the L.E.D.. I see in the spec's...

Oh those are cool, very cool! 1000+ lumins on high wow. Will those bolt right in on peeJ? You can buy a couple of bottles of Johnny Walker Blue Label for what two of those will set you back!

Did everyone notice how much younger Grandma LarrBeard is than Grandpa? Great Last shot from the Jeep Fest with Jerry Huber Larry!

Can you see what you are getting into here ltp?

Yes the Torque King https://torqueking.com/product/777/closed-knuckle-lubricant-for-closed-knuckle-4x4-front-axles/ for the knuckles and Champion...

Ride on bb! Keep it coming.

Welcome home soon ltp! I hope you have a safe and speedy return. Thanks for guarding our freedom from afar.

I think you would love a Willys project. Lots of help out there and parts can still be...

This is a great place to visit.

Every time I pour in the beer, it comes out my nose.

Thank God there aren't a lot of wires under there Steve. The toughest part is crawling underneath. I am getting to the point where that is painful for days!

It is a bad thing TJ. Keep and eye on her for sure.

Wow a new one leaking. That is always a tough deal. You don't look there first because you don't expect it. Glad you got that fixed!

What a great project! Thanks for bringing us along.

Mark, see if there is a very small amount of voltage at the + on the coil. Like millivolts.

Haha status quo, Bob is all mixed up! OK I am pretty sure on this one. You have a "3 Wire" GM 10SI alternator. The wire that is not hooked up would have gone to the indicator light on the dash. The...

If you have nothing in the circuit like a radio for instance that might have a capacitor in it, the only place I can think of for a significant leak would be in the charging circuit. In an alternator...

I keep getting confused between witch one of these we are writing about! I was on Mchambers post and then I was here and now....

Haha as LarrBeard always says, It is amazing how we always seem to...

Yes I agree. I think step one is some verification. Set the Mutlmeter to Volts and the range to 20 or whatever you have near that. With the engine off measure the voltage across the battery...

Gerry, it sounds like the speedo head needs maintenance. Theirs a place called Bob's Speedometer https://www.bobsspeedometer.com/1/120/index.asp that might be able to rebuild it. I think Larrbeard...

The white "reducer" is the ballast resistor. It looks to me like it has 3 wires on it. One wire should be coming from the ignition switch on one side of the resistor. On the other side of the...

I did not see the use of the Ballast resistor on the other side of the air cleaner with all the wires hooked to it.

Larry, are you saying they are jumping off the ignition ballast resistor to...

Lake Tahoe, man I miss that place! A million years ago I called on the auto parts stores in the area. Beautiful isn't close to describing Lake Tahoe. I met Chuck Yeager in Grass Valley not far from...

Take some pictures of what you have. Some close ups of the regulator, the back of the alternator, and the battery. That will help a lot.

I am 5'7" and not that heavy and the steering wheel is right there! I stare right at the top of the windshield. I think it's safe to say people were much smaller back in the day.

When you say you...

What a great start. I really envy you guys who get the "good ones". I think you will find the electrical is as basic as it gets. Your Jeep is on the "cusp" of the 12 volt era. Sometime 56' to 57' the...
