Wow, what a great day!!!

woke up early to check on the battery charging
sun was out and had many plans for the CJ
Set up a few wires for hot wireing and tried to get her started
Took out the old plugs that looked liked they were the originals.
My son( hes 11 ) and I went to walmart to get new plugs, but they only go back to 1982
Thanks to this forum I had a new friend that I could depend on
He goes by the name on here as 1963cj5 in north carolina
I called him from walmart to get a cross reference to the plug number and came through' New york to north Carolina!!!!
Thank you very much!!!
My CJ that I thought I would never hear run started and ran a bit rough
After a few more starts it purrs smooth
We took it for a few rides down the driveway, sitting on milk crates
She shifts, brakes and runs nice
Need a new radiator and exhaust, sheet metal and some rewireing
IM HOOKED ,, THANKS TO ALL YOU ON THE FORUM!!!!
Its a keeper, even though the wife wants it gone, but thats before when she didnt think it ran
Thats another project

 

Welcome to the fold!

 

Hello from NJ, take your wife for a ride in the Jeep and all she won't talk about getting rid of it.

 

I tried that with the black one, now she won't get back in it again.... Make sure it has a comfy seat in it before loading up wifey.

 

:uwop:

Somebody had to say it.

I dont know how your wife is but if I took mine out in a vehicle that she had to sit on milkcrates it would be all over... Id wait to show here the thrill of the jeep till its got a comfy passanger seat in it

 

Nothing better than sneaking the test rides in with no seats because you just can't wait any longer!

 

Only the kids were passengers, wife stayed in the house

 

I hope you didn't have a gas can bungee'd on the front bumper for this test ride.

 

Major plus for all.

Glad to know it's running.
