Put a 304 in a Scrambler. Put TBI on it. Used electrical from misc Jeeps. First time starting it today. It starts with key in on position and I have to turn it off to disengage the starter. Tried moving the ign sw on the steering column but didn't make any difference. What would cause this...

Color looks great!

CJ7 doors will be getting pretty close to your fender wells. I think that is why CJ5 doors are made the way they are. Unless you plan to lengthen the wheel base, maybe modify YJ half doors to fit your opening for a solid door. Good looking CJ5. It'll be good to see what you come up with for a...

Put the rubber on the glass, have someone hold it up to the opening, and with the string already in the rubber channel and lubricated pull the string to pop the rubber lip over the opening as the inside person pushes against the glass. That's how I would do it.

Been prepping grab bars a little at a time over the last couple of weeks. Today I painted 7 of them black. More time goes into getting a grab bar ready to cover than getting a steering wheel ready. Bars need to be sand blasted, edges sanded down where the bars were sheared off, body filler put...

Finished the interior other than carpet. Overland is coming along.

If no one has been looking in the tool collection all this time, then you might just get lucky and find more 9/32 stuff.

Very cool. I've had Snap-on replace the heads in ratchets and once they traded for a new one. Great collectors item. If you want to use it you could make a short extension to adapt it to 3/8" or 1/4" or maybe swap in the newer head if it's the same size. I'd go for an adapter.

Started to install the door upholstery. Got an order for a Sand color Sport steering wheel that I spent the biggest part of the day on. Too big of a hurry to get it to the PO before they close to think about taking a picture of it. Glad many of you guys are out enjoying your Scramblers.

Been making up the door panels with pockets for the 1913 Overland. Got the button-tufting done. Won't be long until I can move on to the top.

My east coast super shopper found 6 more wheels for me so far. Thanks Eric. Got them prepped and ready to cover. Covered a wheel in Sand color for a Wagoneer. A 1913 Overland arrived for me to work on. It's getting a new interior and top. That should slow down my Scrambler projects for...

Maybe a brass fitting that would raise the sensor up so it wouldn't interfere?

The simple stuff. Spray some starting fluid in the carb and try it. If you have spark at the plugs, then if the starter is good it should start. If it starts and doesn't keep running after a few tries, then you aren't getting fuel.

Good idea. I-lean could use some help. Good looking pair!

Look like 1981 or earlier. They didn't have the holes for the center caps and they were 8 inch.

Those are the same as the YJ Wrangler soft top brackets, so are there any salvage yards or people parting out YJs near you?

A CJ7 gentleman is moving soon and he made me a deal. He wanted to get rid of all his leftover Jeep parts. So we traded. He got a restored black leather covered steering wheel and a couple hundred bucks. I got 3 steering wheels, a pair of Laredo front seats, 3 6-cyl-with-power-brakes air...

Glad he was able to help you. Parts from So Cal are usually solid with little rust. I enjoyed visiting Albert's warehouse and seeing all the Jeep parts lined up. What does he charge for a bulkhead now?

I used a woodworkers vise to hold it near the point of the twist. Then I put a block of wood on the inside of the molding and another piece of wood on the outside and clamped them to the molding with a bar clamp. The bar clamp allowed me to get the leverage needed to un-twist the molding. Some...

Knocked the old T-bolts out of the rocker moldings and straightened them out. Bought these off of Ebay years ago. Glad I got them when they were cheap. Cleaned them up and the original anodizing wasn't too bad for its age. Used the new elevator bolts and bolted them on. Temp was up a little...
