What did you do to or with your CJ today?

Finally got around to replacing my heater core hoses that are probably as old as the Jeep itself.

Yeah that’s close to what they call Run to Fail now.

Exactly! I should sell the old hoses on Ebay as new-old-stock. No low ball offers. I know what I got!

Dug an m8000 out of storage and bent up angles to attach the winch plate to the 66

Dropped the fuel tank to change sending unit. Also chasing a fueling problem where carb running out of fuel, thinking pickup problem. Found both fuel lines pinched between crane and tank. Bingo! Problem solved.

Nice! I delt with fuel delivery problems for years. Only fixed it after switching out the Howell TBI for a Carter 2bbl, and putting in a low pressure fuel pump.

@jzak I know this to little and to late but... This is a great thread....

Thread 'fuel gauge sending unit access panel'

Apr 1, 2012

A little back ground: I replaced the sending unit /fuel pick up when the tank was replaced with a poly (plastic) fuel tank. Lesson learned, always check function of electrical parts before they are installed, this goes double if you are going to bury that part deep in the machine. Kind of like the fuel gauge sending unit.

Ordinarily I am not a big fan of cutting on CJ bodies. Although cutting fenders and hood vents can be a good thing, these they are things I would have to think about long and hard. So believe me when I say that I was really not looking forward to dropping the...

Yeah that chopping a hole in the floor of a nice Jeep is a hard thing to do when you spend 4 decades keeping the body nice. If I was driving a rusted swiss cheese body around i wouldn’t hesitate.

I finally cobbled together something for my throttle cable to connect to. The throttle works much, much better now. Here's the before and I'll have to get an "after" shot later as it's dark out now.

So I finally fixed my ongoing valve cover oil leak. Turns out it was the breather grommet. Just wasn't a tight enough seal. Bought a Spectre
push-in breather, which fits like glove. No better feeling than looking under your CJ and not seeing a pool of oil.

Thanks bud! You gotta appreciate those little victories. I had no idea a loose breather grommet could cause so many problems.

On Saturday... fabbed and welded up a mount on my tire carrier for my GRMS antenna.

And today, first of 5 days surf fishing with the fam on Delaware beaches. With the 33x12.5 BFGs, I don't even need to air down, just click into 4wd and head right out on the beach.

And here's the fix. Weird, I know but it works great! Got my choke working now too. Woot!

4 new shocks, a new steering damper and replaced the carb followed by a trail ride to test it out.

Took the old girl out today. I was worried the insane heat would leave me with a blown head gasket and a trail of antifreeze, but it never got above 195.
