What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

Drove it! Ran like a dog. I had tried to dial the timing back a few degrees but it wasn't happy. Back to 16° and balanced the idle mixture screws with the vacuum gauge. Snappy again! Plugs look really good.
Couple of points that are clear. Going to need an adjustable valve in the rear brake line, locks up behind too quick. Need to source a shorter pitman arm and might put a valve in the ps line to reduce the pressure. The ps is too good with little road feel and it's a bit darty for my taste...

 

Blech keep it! 68 here, beautiful fall day.

 

You Front seat look's to be a might Chilly ?

 

Like one of these , for the Brakes that is :
Pirate Jack's ~ 65 Bucks

 

I have one for a 76cj5 installed which had the same power drum/ disc setup. I think it's just the lightness of this rig.

 

It took me a while to get used to my power steering being so quick but you do get used to it.

 

I hear you. Delphi 600 box, little better than 12:1 ratio. Anything over 40 my knuckles get white. Awesome off road, 1 finger on the wheel.

 

Got the tub the rest of the way painted. It's not the greatest. Its a "100 foot" paint job. I tried my hand at bondo for the first time.....you can tell

 

Your too hard on your self , dude. It's at most, an 80 footer ! Just kidd'n with you, it Look's a heck of lot better than I could do.........Of course, that's not say'n much, either.

 

Some caster shims might help too.

 

Put the hard top back on the '69 because it's really not bikini top weather anymore:

 

looks great from here. 650 miles.

 

Got 6°

 

Not likely too little caster then.

 

Chilly and damp but got some neighborhood cruising in. Getting more comfortable, keep circling further out each time

 

Always amaze's me , how your neck of the woods looks like our neck of the woods. The brakes sound good & Shifts really well, don't you think ?

 

Sooooooooooo.............. It's a 1984 Meyer's 6' , with power angling rams & a Western cable control pump. it's been ussed very little & has been stored away well. Oh yeah........ It came with somethin' else too......... Thinking of an update, already ? : 500 bucks got it in my shop & it's got LED main light's too.

 

oh yeah.....Got these for $50 , too. Four 15X7 's , 4 nubs in VGC .

 

Yep pretty happy with it. The T18 was a little fussy going up into 3rd for awhile, grinding occasionally. It liked a little throttle goose but seems broken in now, shifts fine.
I'm at the base of the Catoctin mountains, sort of rolling Piedmont. It's still rural here, lots of farmland still. I went to farrier school in Ithaca, quite similar rolled a little steeper and deeper there. If it wasn't for colder longer winter, steep taxes I'd like it there.

 

Now...........in search of a new welder......fairly quickly !
