What did you do to or with your CJ today?

[defibvt]

I looked at it. Too hot here in AZ to work outside for more than 10 min. When it cools off I will post pics and slight build/paint thread. Miss you guys. I am back in school after 3 months of due medical issues.

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.

I recently put the twin stick in mine ….. big improvement and well worth the PITA

New fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel lines. Also found the back cylinder is leaking oil, could be a good time for the 4.0 head.

Maybe leaking from the back of the valve cover? running down. Another good reason for the 4.0 head.

I thought it was a dry heat, that is what my mom in Phoenix tells me?

I know what you mean, between cj parts and sj parts I have more of a trail through my garage than an open area.

More like put your oven at 110 degrees then stick your head in it heat.

My garage/shop is the same as that.

About 15 years ago I let my shop get to the "path down the middle" condition. While sliding a sheet of plywood in, I was working in the driveway and it was starting to rain, I tripped and fell. I considder myself lucky to have only broken two ribs, it could have been a lot worse.

I put about 5 truckloads of stuff I really didn't need out for the trash, not a bad days work for a guy with two broken ribs, and now consider an overly cluttered shop to be a life threatening situation. Not that it does not get cluttered and dirty, I am just a whole lot more aware of what can happen.

there are more than enough machines in my garage that can damage my body, I don't need to allow it to get any worse.

Welded up a fan shroud
It looks like it will work so ill paint it next time its out

Cut and welded some more on the tub frame. Homemade jigs are the key to getting it straight. Not putting your hand down on recently welded metal is the key to not getting burned.

Well I was going to have fun to day. I was going to the mountains and 4wheel into a lake and do some fishing. Well key words " was going to" I pulled my jeep up in front of my house to load it up and when I got out and went to open up the back I see gas dripping off the gas tank . So instead of having fun I had to drop the gas tank that thankfuly didn't have much gas in it and fix a fuel line. Then what really pissed me off was it was a line I had fixed before and it was just a loose clamp. Well all fixed and fishing will have to wait for another day.

Twin sticks are in, I can tell this is gona be a great upgrade as they work almost precision like compared to the single stock stick that requirred a strap to hold back into 4L.

Not today but a day or two ago…..(a first for me)
Finally manned up and drove the heap across the entire Rubicon trail …. What did I get done? …. A few dents and scrapes but made it threw under my own power.

Way way harder than I ever dreamed and I never thought I could go over rocks as high as my hood

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.

I found it much easier to loosen the two square head bolts that lock the tube that its all mounted to in place, and then slide it out so I could set the new stuff up on it outside of the vehicle. Then putting it back in was a piece of cake.

It's too bad you're so far away. I have a complete 7120 casting head from a 1995 4.0 just sitting around doing nothing.
