LOL - ask me how I knew... It will move the tires 2" towards the middle of the jeep with that 1" offset. Did it myself and even had the rear driveshaft shortened... then re lengthened...
Glad it helped - was hoping it might.

Moving right along with the AMC 304 rebuild. Started degreasing the block and discovered a tag from a rebuilder!
Wish I knew who did the rebuild. .030 over pistons, cylinders measured at .030 to .031 over. Nice! Rings measured at .050 over! Looks like a professional shop put standard rings on .030 over pistons!
Decided to pull the freeze plugs and install brass ones just to be on the safe side.
OH OH!!
I was about to pull the last plug and saw this!
I hope that this do not remove tag is not part of the same tag "do not remove under penalty of law" that we all fear so much on our pillows!

It's probably connected to wireless - will transmit its own removal. Plug cops will find you.....
I got the tailgate prepped and ready to final prime and paint
On to windshield frame prep - after that everything is ready for final sand and the good stuff...... dang I'm stoked!!

Installed the carb and new battery
100% improvement from the carb rebuild
Took the 71 for a test drive
Plenty of power and smooth idle
Yes, I'm leaving the CO sticker on the front bumper.
Orsprey nest in the background.

It worked great! I'll probably be buying a Tom Woods driveshaft soon.

Found some paracord and wrapped the steering wheel and grab bar.
Installed new oil pressure sender (gauge now works) and added a gauge at the block.
Installed new Prothane tie rod and drag link dust seals.
Stripped/painted/mounted the jack.

I like the paracord wrap look as well, I might have to try it on my o poop handle in a sand color to match interior I want

Instead of making a loop and pulling it through the last knot, I cut about 6" and pulled the cut line through... pulled it tight and cut it off flush. Then took a lighter and melted it in place. A brown sharpie took care of the white center cords. You melt it and then press it down with the shaft of the lighter to smooth it out. Can barely see it.
