Giving it a Jolt

Not sure why the first picture is askew by 90 degrees)

Did you upload from your phone? If so, did you tell it to use any size other than “full size”? The resizing process can strip out the orientation data. Just upload at full size, our system resizes the photos anyway to save space.

Fixed, just replaced from my PC.

After some cajoling, I was convinced to start a series of project videos to show a bit about where I got to, where I learned, what I would do differently, etc... I was surprised how many people wanted to learn and understand at the car show. I am sure I will get a bunch of comments on what I did wrong. Anyway, I am loading a series of monologues to a youtube channel under the name Electric_CJ8 and an instagram account Electric_CJ8.

First episode is posted. Its fairly short. #2 will go up shortly. I sound very "Beuller, Bueller".

Can't wait for the next episodes

Thanks, I'm new to YouTube. Just enabled comments (Made for Kids apparently disables them).

Episode 2 posted.

Just watched both episodes. Very informative! Well done. I did not even think about the vacuum for the brake booster.

Looks really well done.

Love the project and videos. What was your ballpark cost for the conversion ? It seems like you did most of the labor for the project.

EJ-8 is legal and on the road as of today. I skirted around the inspection last year as I finished up odds and ends. More to be done including an electric brake booster and power steering but it feels good not having to look out for the popo.

I am thinking of bringing it back to stock height with 30” tires. Does anyone know of a stock height kit or have some stock leaf springs lying around (New England)?

I have a set of Skyjacker front and rear springs that are probably only a 1 or 1.5 inch lift. I have a pair of stock spring shackle hangers too that are brand new, that I am not using.

This is SUPER impressive! I watched your Youtubes and even my wife was curious. AWESOME!!!!!!
