What did you do to or with your CJ today?

[somedude922]

Started the heater blower upgrade. Broke the heater core. Need to decide if I want the new aluminum one or see if I can get my copper and brass one repaired.

 

[Neuner]

Bought a 4.0.

Pulled the body mounts off my '75 CJ5 . They were pretty hard and smashed after 40 years. Will replace with Energy Suspension Polyurethane mounts.

 

[johnnyreb]

pulled the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l head yesterday. Dropped the new 4.0 head on today and torqued down.

Done installing my new Borla cat-back. Installation is fairly straightforward. I bought it from 4wheelonline, at a good price. This exhaust is not too loud but sounds nice in 4th gear. Will post a video for the sound next time.

 

[johnnyreb]

continued with the 4.0 head install.

 

[Neuner]

busted a bolt off in the head. Going too slow already.

 

[IOPort51]

got up this morning and it was a toasty 40 deg. so I drove to work in the CJ.

the drive home with 70 deg and sunshine was the high point of the year, so far.

 

[johnnyreb]

reassembly continues. spent time modifying the power steering bracket to clear the header tube. also discovered that i need a egr for the bottom of the divorced intake, so I can block off the hole.

 

[Neuner]

continued with the 4.0 head install.

What year 4.0? OBD1 or 2?

 

[johnnyreb]

97 4.0 head. Buddy slung a rod. I got the motor or helping swap it out. Not installing the FI back in it.

 

[SlowPocono]

Made some small progress with the refurbishment and installation of my Porter & Reed cab.

 

[johnnyreb]

good looking top. Got any more pics of it?

 

[GARGOYLEJEEPER]

Tested and cleaned up the coil/wire threads & mounting studs, washers & nuts, and installed on the 2A.

I like the way it looks too.
The way it's constructed makes it very light weight, but it's also a little fragile. The years, and hard use have had an effect, but I think I'll be able to correct those deficiencies.

I do have lots of other pictures, but they show mostly the same thing.
I'm looking forward to when I can take a picture that includes installed doors and windows.

If there's anything in particular you want to see, I'll get the camera out for you.

 

[johnnyreb]

any would be good. Looks like it's built like a aircraft fuselage.

 

[Petescj]

I win then. Still have the hard top frozen to the driveway.

Made some small progress with the refurbishment and installation of my Porter & Reed cab.

 

[SlowPocono]

I concede.
I'm never any good at contests, but I'll bet your windshield has glass in it.

 

[velocity280]

started putting the seats in and recovering them
