What did you do to or with your CJ today?

Ive been wanting that Chinese hand stitching machine, I think that would do sewing alot faster than by hand

Looks like a good Christmas gift for an X.

Keep an eye out Craigslist, people are always giving away the 1970's-80's Singer sewing machines with table, heavy bastards and either have or can be bought the heavy denim needles, they will sew through anything, jeans, leather, probably stitch a manifold to a head and never need bolts again lol.
Wife has numerous machines for crafts, I've seen this is person.

Anything you did, washed it , broke it, drove it, or improved it!

This was my 1978 CJ5 military surplus rebuild a year ago. In the past year I have rebuilt or replaced almost every system. Now I’m stating in the body.

and...it comes with a garden

nice find, and the life long work begins...

Yesterday I noticed the steering box puking with vigor and one of the hoses, this after the local mechanic got the thing running again. So once again order parts and enjoy my empty pockets ( the name of my jeep is empty pockets). I prefer to drive it not wrench or have it wrenched on.

Your the second person to comment on the "garden" and no I don't have time for another project. It was a spur of the moment buy and I'm going to sell it. Got someone coming tomorrow morning to look at it and if he doesn't buy it then I'll I'm going to try and sell it at the all breed's Jeep show

Finally sold the CJ5 project so I can concentrate on the CJ7 , getting ready to elevate the frame to start sanding and welding a small plate or 2 as needed. have to cut off all the original body mounts, treat and paint the frame.

Finally got around to replacing my radiator and water pump. Only to have my alternator break when I loosened it to remove the belt.

Was it your fault…

Finally bought an collapsible 2T engine hoist, now I can get the 305 off the ground and start working on it...side note, round mark on garage door...me backing wife's JKU and forgetting the distance for the spare

At least you don’t need a new door

I actually hit the damn thing hard enough I had to reposition a couple hinges due to popping a few lag screws that were stripped

I don't think so, the housing cracked when I loosened it

Took a trip to Cali, didn’t see a single CJ. Went to the Petersen Museum, same thing, save for a classic Jeep SUV with a factory installed toilet seat.

Heard about the Peterson museum quite a while back and would like to get there sometime, but so rarely get out that way much anymore. What city is it in ? Covid killed a trip to the Cali Science Center in 2020. They came to work in 2016 to get External Tank 94 for a Space Shuttle static display.
