What did you do to or with your CJ today?
Ditched the front sway bar and got the three most troublesome bolts out of the steering box. Hopefully theres good weather over the long weekend.

RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
Well lessee...
I started out tearing apart my burned out Tabor winch (that will eventually go back on the CJ), then went to the EXPO center and helped the fire dept. install the barriers for the mud bog race on the 25th, then came home and finished tearing the winch apart. Found the brake spring broken, so I put it all back together minus the brake springs. So now I have a 9000 LB winch with no brake!
Anyone have a good cheap parts place for Warn winches?

Being the threat of winter is over, I removed the "Texas" snow blade from the Jeep.

Started to clean up the carrier and pressed a few bearings off, getting ready for the new ring and pinion.

That needs to be inserted into a redneck engineering handbook! That is funny!

LOL - Good use of that clean white towel! I do hope it was stolen from a nice hotel!

I don't remember what hotel, but yes, that is a stolen hotel towel.

Pretty sure I got the new ring and pinion set last night. It was pretty late so I should be able to button it up tomorrow.

Where did you make the tach connection? At the coil or under the dash?

Engine 258
Transfer case dana 300
Lets just say I caught the CJ BUG. I went out to look at some parts last night after work. Need to get all I can due to my location.
I was given two front ends one out of 85 CJ7 and the other one out of a CJ5 . I got a mess of mirror parts and pieces.
The stuff that I have to buy:
The soft top and doors for my CJ7 , and a matching set of narrow track axles one being a Danna 44. Grill and grill with radiator.
He also had a T-5 Transmission , Danna 300 and a Mitsy 2.3liter turbo diesel.
What would be a good price for all this stuff?
The KID might get a diesel in his CJ5 if I can figure out how to make all the pieces work. I also now need to find a good tub for a CJ5 . The cool thing is the Wife said I need the stuff than get it.
. Now what will I have to buy Her???
