Nice jeep. It's a shame Bart wouldn't let you get any closer to get a better picture. Then again maybe he didn't want his jeep to catch fire or blow up I guess. He and your wife must be talking about yours maybe.

Lol, he was pretty excited to get to talk Jeeps with me so he pestered my wife at work til she agreed to come over for a bit, I got a lot closer to the CJ2a but I did not get a chance to get a picture, it does have a PTO winch on it and he is saving up to replace the whole brake system so that he feels more comfortable driving it

One small victory at a time.... I did not see anything in the Jeep manual on how to set the speedo pinion housing so I had to look it up in my 71 Dodge manual... can’t believe I forgot you have to rotate the housing to the 6 o clock position...... now on to finding the right tooth count to correct the speedo

I’m easily amused if you haven’t figured that out like my wife has but we had some left over seal tape at work that was an 1/8 thick by 1 inch wide I used to seal the Transmission tunnel cover what a huge difference in heat

Isn't it a nice change to hear some gosh awful racket only to find it's something very minor?

To much trail time. Worn out is a good sign.

My daughter did the same thing more than 20 years ago - it’s been one of my favorite pics. Yours is a keeper for sure.
In my case, she mixed a Jeep ride with McDonalds.........
Gotta find the original - that was a pic my wife took of her computer screen.....
