Posi's Do-over

Finished plumbing in the rear tank with filters before and after the pump. And got the windshield mounted. When I bought it I didn't really check it out. I had gone to buy a front clip from a '73 and he just happened to have the windshield too. The windshield is a POS, probably from MD Juan. Horrible spot welds, which I didn't do anything with before I painted it. My AA windshield latches barely fit. The passenger side has a bit of a gap at the latch. Maybe the new gasket is keeping it from seating back all the way. I'll post a pic tomorrow. I have a dozen or so wires that aren't connected yet, but I'm mostly done with the wiring. The green tape is temp bundles of wires. When I'm sure I have all the wiring done I'll bundle them with electrical tape and install some plastic conduit on the looms. By the end of next week I may be ready to haul it to the muffler shop for an exhaust system. I have to have a radiator made up too. I haven't figured that out yet. I'm going to have Ron Davis Racing Products fab it for me.

 

SA-WEET
really looking forward to wheeling with you at the 'con this year .
looks great!

 

Looks good, I think you've jumped ahead of me.

 

That Jeep is looking realy great!
I also love that colour, I might steal that colour, with your permision of course!!

Keep it up, almost there!

 

Looking great John....I'm diggin' the air chuck on the grill, nice touch

 

Thanks ya'll for the comments. I have to confess to a little build burnout these last few months. At least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, but I've still got a lot to do. In May it will be two years since I took the old Jeep apart.

 

Making a list works great. Keeps the focus and helps with planning ahead. Project is looking good.

 

Thanks guys. Ya, I've got a couple of lists. They help you keep from getting ahead of yourself too.

 

Hey John,
Posi is looking great. Hang in there and keep after it. Hope to see you on the trails this year!

 

Here's a shot for you, PieLut. Since you noticed it.

 

John, The build is looking great. Seems like all the big stuff is done now.

 

Thanks, Ryan. Most of the big stuff is indeed done. I still have to pull the rear locker and put the spool in. I still haven't ordered the new rear axleshafts or the radiator. I'm along far enough now so I can measure for the radiator. I still have to finish making the rocker guards. But..........I have working tailights, turn signals and backup light as of today. I think two more days on wiring, then I can set the cage back in. I still have to wire all the front lights, the fan, the compressor (semi complicated) my tow lights and the trailer plug............................... did I say two days?

 

It's the small details that get overlooked sometimes. What air compressor are you using? I'm planning on a York.

 

:drool:

 

I'm using a Quickair II compressor. I have a 2 gal. air tank that I will be mounting under the rear of the tub where the old rear gas tank was. The York puts out a lot more air than the one I'm using. It won't run any air tools, but my welder has a 20 amp 120 volt outlet so I can use a grinder or electric impact gun (or a blender), all powered by the alternator.

 

I found this cool connector for my CB antenna wire at Radio Shack. It's a bulkhead fitting that the cable screws to so I can remove the tire carrier without removing the entire cable.




My wife bought me this for Valentines. It's a safe that goes into the rear hitch. You can put your keys, some cash and three credit cards in it. I thought it was pretty cool. Came from the NRA store online.

 

I like the hitch safe. Never seen one before. Got a little pistol locked up in there? Reason I ask is the NRA reciever plug

 

Nope, I don't own any small enough to fit in there.
