What did you do to or with your CJ today?

[IOPort51]

I don't think I have ever used a spout on a Jerry can. A syphen hose works so much better, never even have to lift the can off the carrier.

JR did the cork not work for you to seal the lid?

I tried to buy a spout the other day ….. NA in CA
So I made one from a broken old spout …. Welded a barbed fitting in and put a rubber hose on.

Are you goin on auburn jeep club rubicon deal next weekend????

I wish! No not yet... she's still going through some fixing...

I agree the syphen hose works great.

I haven't had the chance to get the cork yet, but hoping it will work out.

Replaced the broken off bolts with new stage 8 locking hub bolts.

Hoping that will stop them from backing out on me



She's on the road again... sorta

JR, How does that system work? Is that a little cir clip that holds the 12 point retainer on? So you tighten them up until you can get the retainer to lock against the side of the hub? Is that correct?

On those fuel cans I must be living in the past when did that law come out? What is it they want now for storage? I must have 10 of those cans that I've kept clean and un-rusted for years..............

Yes there are small snap rings on the outside of each egg or tear drop washer that stays in place against the hub edge and the 12 point internal to top of bolt.

Here's a better (cleaner) pic of them...

Yeah they don't usually mess with you about it unless they feel like messing with you (and then they'll find SOMETHING) but you can not buy them in Ca anymore. To buy these I would have had to go to NV or have my NV buddy bring em down.

As far as I can tell, it is not illegal to have or mount / use or carry the jerry cans, even for gas, just to sell them as gas tanks...






The California Air Resources Board (ARB) adopted new emission and spill-control regulations for portable fuel containers, commonly known as "gas cans," and gas can spouts. The regulations apply to new gas cans and spouts sold in California starting January 1, 2001. There is no requirement for owners of gas cans or spouts sold before that date to modify their gas cans or to scrap them and buy new ones.

???

Anywho, I use mine

OK will these are still good then..........I do now remember the little plastic gas cans for lawn mowers they came out with a fancy cap a few years back that is useless.
Thanks

Got some time today to get back to these rock guards........drivers side is in minus a few bolts and most importantly the brace for the roll cage down tube is in.........nice to get the cage tied into something that has real support.
Now on to the passenger side................

Well got the Passenger side welded up this morning and put them on .......more work than I thought , not a big fan of laying on a creeper anymore

That's a great idea IO! Why didn't I think of that? A few feet of hose would stow away better in my storage box than a funnel! I'm making a change to my carry around gear thanks to you!

Put on my eye protection, crawled under the CJ7 with a length of tubing and re-routed my GM Turbo 400 tranny breather hose with the end being way up high for possible creek crossings this summer.

You, Sir, are a metalurgical artist! Nice job on the fabrication. I wish I had 1/10th your welding skills.

A quik trip to the USPS turned into jumping off the mtn for a bottle in a paperback, which resulted in a couple rain showers, I JUST TOOK THE TOP OFF. Then cruised around some local blue holes and explored some back roads on the mtn. Got home and the power cut off due to the storm. BTW, we only got showered on for maybe 20 minutes then the blazing sun came back out. Lol

Pulled an engine wiring harness from an 05 wrangler, going to custom build my engine harness.

 

[danc9]

Picked up the new fuel line, too hot to work on it!!!!!

 

[IOPort51]

with out a wiring diagram to go with it, you just became the PO that butchered the wiring.

Pulled off my T case lever and linkage and ordered a twin stick.
Absolute pain in the ars to get the lever bolt out, disco'd the tub and raised it about 3" to get out.

If worse comes to worse I will blame it on the previous PO. Besides, who needs a wiring diagram, the PO obviously didnt.
