What did you do to or with your CJ today?

I hope the collar isn’t required - mine went to the recycling gods....

*sigh*

Messed around trying to figure out why my brake lights aren't working... after a nice friendly officer pointed it out to me.

Nice reinforcement of the rear crossmember. I've been trying to get around to installing a similar bracket on mine. Do you fabricate it yourself, or bought it online?

Posi turned me onto this set on ebay... I liked them because they used three frame holes instead of two and the guy built them like a tank... also included all of the bolts (although too short for the 86 CJ frame). He had them for $49, but accepted $40 offer.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have any listed at the moment. You might try contacting him.

Sweet power steering is real nice after you have been dealing with manual steering

The old girl didn't come with PS in 82 ?

My '83 CJ5 did't

I was figuring by 82 they all did since my base model 84 did.

Finally got a chance to take my new flatty out to a local off road vehicle park and start to get a feel for how it performs on some of the obstacles.

That’s a 41 cover.
Looks like your passenger had a good time.

[shum8]

Pretty sure having one of those is on my bucket list.....

I believe it was an option.

It actually did way better than I had hoped. Given that I drove the jeep on the street the 20-ish miles to the park I avoided some obstacles I thought were a risk for ripping my muffler off. Only time I got stuck at all was when I got opposite corners hanging in the air. Totally expected with the open diffs.

It is a little higher geared than I would like. High range is reasonable for driving on the road but low range over obstacles had me riding the clutch a lot to keep the speed at what I felt was reasonable.

I did have one stall on a steep climb. That was about it though. All and all it was a good time, in a relatively safe environment where I was able to remind myself about some of my long-lost off road skills. I feel a little more confident now.

Hey that's prairie city. Did you get up that pyramid to the top?

We should hook up bud.
