How are you guys doing this evening with the storms?

Ended up just being a rain event. Knocked itself out in Texas

Well I have a number, I drove my Jeep across the scales this morning and I got 4050 pounds with me and 3/4 tank of fuel


Also hit a huge water puddle and learned that I need to seal the floor better

The mere essence of some sort of sealing would be better LOL

Lol at least some duct tape right? Ya I was surprised at the amount of water that came thru the access hole I cut to get to the Transfer Case shifter mounting bolt

Good thing I didn’t have a passenger they would have been pissed

Yea...cause you don't want that new found water source leaking out the tailgate. ;-)

So if you install the twin sticks before the Transfer Case is install, no hole ? I was thinking of maybe doing that, but no way if I need to chop a whole in the tunnel like that.

I rotated my case up so the twin sticks are way up in the tunnel now, would be easier with T case rotated down In stock location

Ok let’s see if this will fix the surging I am getting in the afternoon on my way home,,,,, wix 3/8 inlet/outlet fuel filter with vapor separator and a really old Maroso 1 inch 4 hole plastic spacer under the carb, the initial seat of the pants says the throttle response is better that’s a good start hopefully this fuel gets better as well

I also pulled the choke flap since it’s not hooked up anyway just to make sure it doesn’t give me issues

Looking at my picture of my intake and carb it’s hard to imagine that a member on this forum sold it to me and shipped them out to Afghanistan so that I could spend my free time rebuilding the carb and gasket matching the intake many moons ago

Well during the break I was talking with Shum8 about wipers.... specifically intermittent wipers

Interesting enough AMC bought Fords truck switch and the Ford F-AMC 150 /250/350 and Broncos from around 78-91 has an adapter to the switch with a module that converted their wiper motors to intermittent easily identified by the red plug on the back of the wiper switch

So now it’s time for me to find one at a local junkyard soon

Well I’m busy tracking down squeaks and rattles, found my stupid hood latches were squeaking so I fixed that with some 5/16 poly tubing..... got tired of trying to figure out how to compress the spring so I could get the tubing in there so I broke out the big guns lol

Gotta get the extra noises fixed before I worry with panel gaps
