Holiday weekend in the UK and the sun is shining for a change!

10" body only lift? 🤔

I would also check the plugs that are connected to the back of the headlamp switch and the dimmer switch are clean and plugged in properly or give them a wiggle next time it does it and try and isolate the issue that way!.

I am with @Belizeit you are far braver than me. I got the windscreen man to do mine and he made it look effortless, just the thought of breaking the glass doing it myself.:oops:

And its the best way to learn, so if something does go wrong you hopefully will have a good idea on where to look, have fun!

If i remember correctly the Cherokees of that era used the ECU to control the charging of the alternator and the ECU acted as the regulator. If my memory is right then your parts guy is correct and it will need some external help to make it work, either through the proper ECU or no doubt there...

Telescopic Magnet on a stick, that thing has saved me more than few times for routing round in engine bays (and engines themselves) retrieving dropped items.

Very enjoyable videos thankyou. It always amazes me how they knew these mine deposits were there, i guess the rewards far outweighed the risk of finding nothing

Its been a while and due to numerous things i haven't been near the Montana blue scrambler for quite a long time other than starting it up every now and then and moving it about the workshop so its about time it got a bit of attention i think. Anyway i took it out for a bit of a blast and then...

There appears to be no CJ grill or other AMC memorabilia bolted to the side either 🤔

Agreed, For me the brakes are the last thing i would not spend any money on and you don't really know what those old lines are like internally?.

CLK is easy, that is the backlight feed for the clock , unsurprisingly the power for the actual clock comes from CLOCK, good old AMC😀

I could be wrong but the 81 models must of originally had lapbelts as the early roll bars didn't get the welded bungs for the 3 point seat belts. Changeover was 82 at some point, presumably the same reason for the halfcab alterations around the same time?

Sounds to me more likely there is either air in the rear braking system somewhere or the master cylinder is faulty. Air would allow the brakes to move freely when there is no drum and therefore no resistance there but just compress when under load?. If it is air related and the lid is off the...
