Fired up the CJ, hitched her up to my small utility trailer and collected every piece of scrap metal on my & my wife's acreage. Towed the menagerie of scrap to Schnitzer Recycling and collected $190 cash. My fiery "redhead" looked good doing it too. She got a lot of compliments.

Took the hard top off! Yeah! Finally winter is over. Oh, by the way...lifting the hard top off is not a one man lift....or so I found out.

 

[tjmons]

Took the cj out for a virgin off road adventure. Oh my gosh so awesome:grinjeep:

 

[JJs85cj]

Ripped out all the nasty carpet that was in my jeep. Getting ready to replace the rusted front floor pans.

Got a box from the folks at FedEx. Third time is the charm on the rear brake line I guess...

Didn't try it on for size, but it at least looks like the original!

 

[mtnwhlr]

Wiped all the snow off of it and drove it up to the liquor store.

Started taking out the old factory wiring harness to get ready to put in the painless wiring harness. Unfortunately, I live where there is emissions and my 85 has the emu or whatever its called. I am going to try to wire it without it. Hopefully it will pass if, not its time for classic plates that don't require emission testing.

Noticed some "sluggishness" in my CJ7 in the past few weeks. I've been neglecting it save for critical issues due to finishing up school (final semester oh yeah) and life.

After troubleshooting, I gathered the catalytic converters could very well be "clogged". Its smelling quite gassy as well. I have not done anything with them for almost ten years.

I bought some "pypes" brand high flow cats (super sexy) and had them installed. When I went to pick it up, the mechanic said, yeah; your cats weren't working. Both were blown completely out. Good right? Nope. All that went into your mufflers where there's no exiting easily. So, I gave in.

Getting Flowmaster Super 44's on it tomorrow. I hope it sounds good

I'll be using it as my chariot in less than two weeks - getting married. That makes two loves in my life. Want the first one to sound good.

used it for what we got it for; farm work. Hauled a trailer load of brush to the burn pile.
Also got in boring bar so I can start turning pivot for tire swing out to go on new rear bumper we're building.

I took my heater out today because my disc conversion that turned into a front axle rebuild is now turning into a power brake/hyrdo clutch conversion.

I was going to do disc brakes this last winter but life happened and I didn't get it done. I still wanted to squeeze it in before wheeling season was in full swing and while wrapping it up, I managed to ruin my master cylinder trying to remove the residual valves. Since I was going to do the power brake/hydro clutch conversion next winter anyway I didn't want to spend $60 or $80 or whatever for a master I was only going to use for 6 months.

Tomorrow I'm going to patch the firewall, do the fab work on the hanging pedals, and get that assembly installed and hopefully have time to start plumbing the brake lines. Then I have to wait for the clutch slave cylinder kit from Novak to show up.

Trying to adjust the clutch, its new, on my 61 CJ5 , think I will need a hand!

I'll soon have a slightly used Advance Adapters chain kit for sale if you're still running the factory pushrod junk.

Yep the old heater has to go when the swing pedals go in...........make sure you pay close attention to the proper pedal ratios & travel for both the Power Brakes and the clutch slave master cylinder.........Novak's slave cylinder is a great product with more travel than any on the market...........Keep in mind you need at least an 1.250" of travel at the slave push rod mounted to your bell housing..........that 1.250" gets cut in half when it goes through the 2:1 ratio at your throwout fork to your throwout bearing leaving you only about .625 of movement at the pressure plate...............most standard clutches need about .500" of travel to release.........plus your freeplay.

Yeah, I'm going to use pedals, clutch M/C, brake booster and M/C, and prop valve from an XJ, but they need to be "modified" a bit to fit around my steering column unless the booster goes right above my valve cover. I've heard you need to shorten the pedals by about 3 inches, which I'm not worried about for the brakes because of power assist, but I am concerned about that in the clutch. I'll just have to mount the M/C as high as I can and trim as little as possible, if at all.

I'm not going to do anything about the heater right now though. I'll run without one until it gets cold enough to need one, at which point I'll start working on all the other stuff I didn't get to last winter: power Saginaw conversion, Bronco heater, OBA, OBW, light bar, front bumper...
