Wagon work resumes. The lower cowl needed some love, so a new panel was purchased. Some of the inner panel had to have some rust repair before proceeding, just because it is much easier to clean up...

We all got together last year for Jeep's 80th Anniversary in Toledo. We had a great time! Bmorgil is a fantastic host, and makes some excellent grub. With fuel prices still through the roof, I...

Bmorgil,

I'm leaning hard to go with one of your builds. I believe I'll need to revisit the frame to add some boxing to hold up to the torque of one of your builds. It would be well worth the...

Bmorgil is the best in the business when it comes to drive lines. He knows his stuff, that's for sure.

Hammer taps are good for a lot of things. You feel better, and it helps to motivate things to move along.

I was just wondering about the door and rear cards to see if you were continuing the King Ranch type feel. Sound deadening and the like. I'm stuck in a quandary to how I want to handle the floor,...

She is looking good. You'll be going back together with it in no time. What are your plans for the interior?

The Better Business Bureau reviews are typical responses for Jasper. I would stick with someone local, that will stand behind their work, and will communicate with you about the progress being made.

The oil pressure gage looks to have come out of an AMC car. It took me a minute trying to think where I'd seen that particular style of Stewart Werner gage.

The Tux Parks were an honest attempt...

It was just parked under the canopy of the trees. The girls wanted take a break from riding, so stopped by a stream to let them splash around and cool off..

The trail boss on the ride came up after the ride to shake my hand for bringing the Ole girl out to show how it was done. The mall crawlers we're having some difficulties on the rocks, but with me...

Last weekend I brought the 2A out to give her some exercise, an to socialize with some of her descendants. Project 22, (a foundation that is working on reducing the amount of veteran suicide) had a...

Inspect around the front (radiator mount) cross member for rust or cracking. Look around the spring and shock mounts for cracks. Also look at the rear crossmember. All in all, the frames are...

From what I've seen, there was two leaf springs offered in the Tux Park CJ5s. They had six leaf packs, but were dual rate, (softer) springs for a better ride. I didn't come up with an exact match,...

The Jeep will be a walk in the park compared tot the power stroke. Great job in getting the diesel back in shape.

Welcome 62Willys!,

That is a fine looking CJ5. Our 2A is was much like Bmorgil's, in lacking a lot of safety features. I took the roll bar off, just because I didn't like the way it looked. It...

Time flies by in just a blink of an eye. My eldest will be a senior in high school this coming school year. Hard to believe that it seems like just yesterday she was toddling around and eating...

Our 2A didn't have a functional parking brake for many decades. Now that it works properly, I use it almost every time I fire it up, just to ensure that when it is idling outside the shop, it's...

The 4.3 V6 has the same transmission bolt pattern as the 350 Chevy, but you'll need an adapter to mount the Chevy to the Jeep T18 transmission. (Then you can use the stock parking brake). Advanced...

Looks perfect. I hate that for your painter and his wife, but you got to spend some quality time with your daughter. I have one biological daughter, and two adopted daughters, (16, 9, & 6). My...

I concur with all. If the Jeep wasn't sagging, and had a good arch to them, then break them down and paint.

Ready, set, and wait. We are supposed to get that line through here today.

Very nice. A lot of info in a compact footprint.

Welcome Robertsmau!

Your GPW sounds like it went through a Depot level overhaul. A Jeep would come to one of the facilities around the country/world to where they were torn down to the frame, and...

The ugly isn't too ugly. A toast to a job well done, until the next phase.
