What did you do to or with your CJ today?

LOL - Not really as it is still attached to the post!

I'll just let it be and see about it later as I know it is going to bother me..


Oh yea, I worked on more documentation for my Dana 20 rebuild article today... I plan on starting the build in a day or so!

And the Team Rush that I did. Coil is also on backorder. This was done previous to today. Still not a bad day for starting at 4:00 and posting by 6:30. I even ate a little

Ha Ha. I went to preview it and didnt see it except for the "clicky" so I decide to put them on photobucket. Kept it there and showed it after I edited? I dunno. I have a hard enough time messing with technology thats 25 yrs old.

Grr! Spent two ^%$# hours trying to get a bearing off the low gear shaft on my Dana 20 !

Finally made a dent in some much needed work, plenty more to do, but it's a start. Pulled the manual steering to start the PS upgrade, finally fully installed and wired the winch, installed the HD shackles.

old stuff torn out

Started installing the pump, the gear box is in. Now just waiting for the lines to get here.

Winch wiring.

Shackles installed.

Winch plate trimmed and finally bolted down and wired.

OK, some more progress, small as it is.
Stripped the intake and exhaust manifolds and carb, cleaned up the mess a bit, and installed another intake, cleaned and painted the header, and finished the power steering install. It works like a champ!

New front end parts, and a new Valve cover are on the way!

Wow! That looks nice and clean! Welcome to the world of a fully functioning power assisted CJ!

My God man, I'm in heaven! My poor old wrecked shoulders are lovin life now!!!

Very nice. What paint did you use on the block and the header? And how did you get at it right to get it painted like that in the Jeep? The block I mean.

Thanks! I used Duplicolor metallic grey engine paint on the manifold, and the same on the block in Ford blue. I forgot who made the header paint. After the engine was stripped down there is so much room in ther, it was easy to mask off what little there was left and just paint. I'm lucky that even after 12 years, it never leaked a drop of oil. It was just dirty, so a quick clean up is all I needed before paint.

I worked on a engine issue today. The engine cutting out, losing power like a miss, than coming back. Needs a tune up.

See the thread on the Team Rush ignition upgrade. You'll love it.

I think that it has been done already on mine. Looking at the pictures you posted the cap looks like it, also it looks like the one that was on my 84 bronco.

Put it up for sale

I just saw your ad... You have to do what you have to do...

I hope you stay on the site though. You are a great contributor. Maybe soon you can be on the road with another CJ again?

Finished the disassembly of a Transfer Case , inspected all shafts and gears.

 

[CJ]

Sand blasted the case parts that can be blasted.

Painted the case with the rust encapsulation paint, tomorrow I'll paint it with the chassis paint... BTW - Engine hoists are not just for pulling engines!

 

[CJ]

Another coat of paint on the Transfer Case parts and started to clean up the engine for paint also... Were getting there!

 

[Petescj]

Got the front shocks on and went to remove the coil. Seems to be rusted fast to the bracket. Gotta grab a bigger pliers from work.

 

[CJ]

Picked up the frame and other assorted parts from the coaters!

It all started when I picked up this motorcraft 2100



And that lead to replacing the intake and exhaust manifolds,



and getting my hands on a stock two barrel intake



While I was at it I figured I would replace the exhaust too



I'm waiting for the MC2100 rebuild kit, and the flowmaster 40 series muffler. Today I started putting the intake and exhaust manifolds back together, until I realized that I'm short one stud that broke off, so I have to go to fastenal tomorrow.
