What did you do to or with your CJ today?

FYI

In sufficient quantities, silicone can, in fact, be a structural adhesive.

More proof that it can be structural. Ugh.

It can help keep that rust, rusting away with water sealed up with it.

Have I mentioned that I hate Star bits today? I have one I can tighten, but can’t loosen.

The back was so siliconed up I already cut it off so I didn’t catch it on fire too much when I was cooking everything with the torch.

Sigh.

Alright! I cut back the unneeded return line so it's not dangling down several inches, and plugged it up with a hex screw and hose clamp. So far so good, but if this doesn't stop the leaks, I'm out of ideas.

Fantastic day to own a CJ. This is what I love about North Carolina, you can get away with being topless in November.

I’m jealous! I’m all put up for the winter. Monday I’m pretty sure I’ll get a few hours to try to remove a couple more T45 bolts.

It was a beautiful day. 74 degrees. Went and gassed it up today.

Gotta love the southern and western states. Makes me wonder why 90% of these owners of newer Jeeps never take the doors or top off. They just drive around with those tinted windows completely blocked off from the outside world. I would give a Jeep wave, but I can't see who I'm waving too.

Amazing how much MPG improves when you're not leaving a trail of gasoline everywhere you go.

Took the tub off my 1960 CJ5 today. Replacing the hat channels under the floor hoping to spare the paint job!
