What did you do to or with your CJ today?

[mdeluca]

Reinstalled battery tray, brackets, and battery...

Tomorrow we will see if the heater upgrade works... fingers crossed...

Roll started it twice. In reverse. Once in the driveway, the other at an intersection on a steepish hill. I think my battery is dying. Does not seem to have enough power to turn the engine over anymore.

I fixed two leaks on the brakes, replaced 2 bleeder screws cleaned out the other two and bled the brakes enough to achieve a firm pedal, it has been over a decade since this Jeep has had a working brake system :0. Time for bed, I hope to get the rest of the air out when I wake up

Grabbed my newly bored, decked, and polished 360 block, heads, cam, crank, pistons, etc all from the machine shop.

Drooled over it all a bit :drool:

Then got to work.

In a couple hours we got the Cam installed, crank installed, and all pistons dropped in and tightened. Need to torque them still but everything seemed to be moving nicely!

I can see the finished 360 swap at the end of the tunnel now...



:Chug:

I replaced the water pump with OEM and the thermostat with a gates High Flow model.

Yea, there's another option. Come out here anyway you can and rent a jeep. These rental jeeps can be taken on any trail except Black Bear Pass and Poughkeepsie Gulch.
007 might be able find a rental jeep that you can take on those 2 trails. He got the "Barbie Jeep" for Posi.

Woo-Hoo! I just finished a deal on a sweet CJ that I found in Colorado Springs. The OP says it runs great without any issues a turn key CJ.

My plan is to ship my other CJ home and use this one for the Moab and Ouray trips.

Wow that's some pink there ! If Barbie has a 360, I wonder if she has hairy legs also Turn key sure sounds nice to me. Congratulations.

I think this is an April Fool's joke. No way Posi bought a Jeep like that unless it was for me. Hahaha

Murphy's law! Didn't see a washer between the bell and engine while tightening the clutch slave cylinder, and cracked the bell housing! Plus, the Sniper seems to have sprung a leak, and won't idle worth s***. Oh well! We still have 8 days to make it right, or do panic maintenance on the trusty Blue Oval that we used the first time we came to Ouray!

Wait, what? It's April fools day and Easter Sunday? Smart Lady!

Bass, I'm hoping it's a joke? If not load her on the trailer and we will fix her up in Colorado Springs.

 

[007]

Yeah Bass - that ain’t funny...

...but this is...

Moab would crash it.

OK, I just couldn't let Posi have all the fun! I just thought claiming to have given up on CJ's, and bought a JK, might be a bit over the top! After all, seems like someone already did that..............

 

[Posi]

Sold my wheeling rig last Tuesday, and picked up a 2016 Hard Rock Rubicon Edition. I'll be able to drive to Silverton this Summer, plus AC on the trails.
Already had it off road and it works well. I'll post pics later this morning. Woo-Hoo!

You mean this?

Whew! GOOD to hear. I don’t mind being fooled on April Fools’ Day. I just think you’re due for some good mechanical karma.
