Build Thread Project " Un " Limited

[Petescj]

Bill also gave me some other Jeep stuff. He had a set of Yj seats and some blue seats that were in it when he bought it besides the originals.

I put the Gray YJ seats on Craigslist today for $AMC 150 . Got a guy coming to pick them up tomorrow morning already.







The others are from a Ford Bronco II. I only knew that cause I had one with the exact same seats. Put them up for $50 but I figured they wouldnt go as quick

Hey Pete, since you are going to tear this apart, I will trade you a really cool T-5 for that poorly built T-176 ...

Thanks guys. Im hoping there wont be too many "What did I get myself into" moments.

I would but from what Ive read the T-176 is only good to 6000 ft above sea level.

Whew! That's great to hear. My place is about 450' above sea level. I should be good here with my T-176 !


This won't be too expensive Dear! That's what I keep saying. Over and over again.

What altitude are T-18 good for?

No altitude limit but they arent designed for Wyoming so you can send that to me with the head.

Glad I could put your mind at ease.

You can use a T-18 in a airplane or a submarine. Its like the Chuck Norris of transmissions.

Well I actually got out in the garage and shuffled enough Toledo Tetnus around to wedge the Limited in there.

 

[Petescj]

Its a rainy damp day here but after I got it in the garage I wanted to look at it a little. I found a couple things you just dont see after 30 years. Its not often you see the scissor jack and lug wrench still intact on the passenger side fender.

 

[Petescj]

How about an underhood light? Im pretty sure the hood insulation was model specific cause I never see a Cj with it and insulation was something the Limited was known for.

 

[Petescj]

This next one Ive never seen intact and working. Its something if you take for granted in any other vehicle. Its the infamous dome light switch. I plugged the harness from the body into the hardtop and it actually worked. It doesnt really light anything up but it works.

 

[alpha6]

Mine has the jack, but no hood light and no doom switch. Some people have all the luck!

 

[Tin Medic]

My Renegade has the under hood light but not the other 2 items. Thats a nice pick up Pete.

Ha! I'll have to take pics of the immense illumination. That light in the back of the hardtop is pretty much worthless. The underhood one didnt work but Im sure its about as useful as the interior one.

You would have to mount the engine behind the Transmission or just always drive backwards; nothing gets in front of Chuck Norris!

 

[thiswontbetooexpensive]

That is indeed one luck find there. Congrats!

Lol that's good to know at least I don't have to rejet it to make it run right.
