Wow. I think boredom is making us all a little silly - or - we've all had enough time to sew and we've worn things out. Good fixing on your part!

 

[Scramblur]

Gee, my wife's sewing machine has a pretty good knock in it and is not working right. Can I send it to you for an over haul? She just had amazon deliver a new one and told me to see whats wrong with the old one.

I think you're right I just box-stitched 2 small holes in my kayline top because I actually have the time.

Send it. Man, I have a whole new level of respect for those old timers who did this for a living. There are 10+ adjustments on those things.

Out with the old, in with the new. With new bearings and seals, of course.

Yesterday was wheel day. Cleaned up and mounted the Western Wheels and broke down the slots. Time to clean more wheels.

 

[Belizeit]

Really like the Westerns !

I'd love to see a side view of the Jeep with the Western wheels. I have a similar set I need to get cleaned up and mounted.

This is when I was trying to decide and rolled them in-place. Different slots and tires. I will get a better pic next week when the valve cover gasket shows up.

I really love the western turbine wheels.



I’m still on the hunt for a 5th rim for the spare.

I hope mine clean up as good as yours did.

I’m thinking about drilling the rims and using FSJ center caps. Gonna need bigger center caps since I’m using a 44 front and 60 rear axle.

I was asked to make end caps for 77, 78, 79 Jeep trucks. These were originally stamped steel and tack welded on. They will be aluminum and there will need to be some steel welded to the bumper to bolt them onto. Been working on the pattern yesterday and today. Customer asked for 3 places to bolt them on, and then decided 2 would be enough. Now the customer gets his choice. I wanted 3 points to locate the cap to the inside of the bumper anyway. Here some pictures. I'm not real familiar with the years that used this end cap. Anyone know of more than these 3 years that used them?

Old gears on the side and finally got my new Lomax 4:1 gears installed. Still have a couple small things to do to finish completely but getting there.

They really look good on silver or gray jeeps with the black walls out.
