my 68 Kaiser V6

Drove 80 miles to pick up my 68
Bodys in good shape and its got the metal hard top
with doors and back lift window but theres no glass at all on the jeep


Windshied still has the wiper motors
someone rewired it with updated fuse blocks and an alternator with the selinoid inside the firewall
it also has push button start but not sure if its stock
The jeep also has 5 shocks, the fifth ons on top mounts to a bracket on the passenger side behind the valve cover and goes down to the frame behind the leaf spring mount
Any ideas why its there, the cj does have a plow mount
Soooo, now I have 2 CJs
This may be an addiction
Oh yeah,,, only paid $250.00 for the 68 not sure if it runs needs a radiator
Will the 59 glass fit in the 68?
I will take more pics tomorrow

 

looking good,paid $500 for a jeep just to get the hard top,and the jeep aint much,would like to see a picture of the fifth shock,that sounds interesting,nice score

 

glass no biggie,you can have it cut since it is flat,rubber no big deal either,they sell it by the foot,prob get someone in your area to do it cheeper than you could buy it and ship it

 

First step is admitting there is a problem. Looks like a score!

 

Addicting isn't it?

 

Hope you got a big backyard, at the rate your going they won't all fit on the streetR) . Come up to VT and get my hardtop, still has the windows in it.

 

Sounds like a nice find. 5th shock sounds interesting.

 

Great deal.

 

I bought a spare dauntless and all brackets, and it came with the motor mounted shock. It is to dampen vibration, and or slow torque wrap in the mighty V6. My 66 also has a bracket coming off of the pass. side of the front axle with a bump stop to the frame, I suppose to stop axle wrap and keep the front driveshaft out of the starter/bellhousing under torque. (it has been unsuccessful at some point with mine.) I am planning extra spring lift so I don't have to worry any more.

 

Thanks
I think the bottom bracket is bent, I have to take a better look after work
I may try to get it started also, bu with no radiator i cant run it very long

 

Sound familar. I bought a hard top for $350. When I went to pick it up the guy said I had to take the whole Jeep. So, now I've got a spare v6!

 

Put a battery in it and tried to start her up
Nothing, then wiggled the wireing harness, its aftermarket with 2 sets of plugs under the hood with 8 blade fuses each, plug that goes into the engine compartment
To much excitement it turned over, its getting gas but wont start, new gas and starting fluid and nothing
have to get new plugs
I think the culprit is in that harness connection, its 5 or 6 wires
The lights all work , head,tail,gauges, but cant get them to go off
also need a new rubber gas line , its about 5 inches long and goes to something under the engine and has a leak
Cant wait till tomorrow after work to give it another go
What size spark plugs do i need?
Thanks
