No, no - Beer is for healing, not for welding. That’s why we have bourbon. LOL

It’s been pretty interesting lately, my divorce went final, I picked up a Honda Accord hybrid for my daily so I can concentrate on making the Jeep what I want which is an off-road vehicle, now I have a trip to Moab scheduled for Next April so I picked up a cheapish tow rig that can haul my kids and the Jeep, pretty soon I will figure out this windshield mess and get a new exhaust since I blew out the muffler
Meet project marshmallow, the rust free 318 TBI Overdrive 2wd 1989 Ramcharger.... soon to be getting stiffer springs and sway bars and better tires
The official tow pig for my CJ
At least I won’t be burning off all the rubber on the Jeep getting to the trail

Had an old used 81 3/4 ton suburban with a bench seat. Was like going down the hiway on a great couch with a 40 gal tank. Plywood would fit between the wheel wells.

Oh man I got a serious interior upgrade for the tow pig today, it’s gonna be nice sitting on this stuff for hours on end
I also can’t wait to get some new seat for the CJ

At first glance, this reminded me of that scene in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

Welcome back Gert! 84 Ramcharger was my first car! 318 Turd with crazy exhaust manifold leaks, but she was a 4wd and my first venture into wheeling.

All he needs to do is swap the 360 into the Ram and 318 into the CJ.

Oh no that’s not happening, I am considering a magnum 360 in the future but for now I am going to enjoy the TBI that’s in the Ramcharger so it will get the new 318 that was originally going into my Dart so that I don’t have to mess with the computer
I had originally wanted a AMC 304 for the Jeep but now that it’s a 360 and I have a complete spare that’s what it will stay and amazingly the Holley that I have on it works great it fires up good even without the choke
