What did you do to or with your CJ today?
Wow! Hard to believe it. Palm trees in a blanket of snow.
Do you even own a snow shovel?

I sorted out some “repairs” the PO did, such as having the CCV line being reduced and hooked up to ported vacuum.

I have been daily driving mine as well. But the rain is coming for a week or so and well, I don't know if I'm gonna put the cover on it or keep driving.

Put a rubber on that thing for protection. Moisture and rust is a CJ killer.

Mocking things up and putting down some bed liner in the process.
P/o had a 2” body lift and I decided to keep it.. hopefully it’s not sitting too high.
Next I think I’ll put heater back in and start wiring electrical? Still unsure how to best approach it. Taking it a day at a time.

Ha! It’s always windy up there in Wyoming.
That’s a lot of miles. I can honestly say I run a lot more miles per year than I put on my Jeep.

Even when mine was in the garage for like 3 years for power train and other work it was a tie for me. I’m just glad I can still walk pretty well.

Full steering box adjustment today and a carb swap planned for this weekend got a crazy idea for the carburetor, we’ll see if it pans out.
For those with a fold and tumble rear seat.
I wanted a better way to secure the rear seat, when tumbled forward.
Pretty simple solution…
-Use existing bolt
-Use bungee cord
-3” long sheet metal tab, 14gauge min.
One hole is bigger (1/2”) to catch the beener or hook.
-Place tab behind bolt on roll bar connection at tub. Connect the cord.
Maybe go with fixed length connection strap instead?
The cord is stored between the bolts on the seat bottom.

Just completed a full LED conversion of the headlights and running lights. It caused a lot of electrical gremlins at first, but I eventually got there, and love the way it looks. Nice to finally have brake and headlights that other drivers can see on the road.

Nice. What did you use for the side and front marker lights? Or are they just LED bulbs?

Thanks buddy! Side markers are also LED, but had to splice in a Blinker Genie 2 for them to work.
