That's what I was thinking Zout just wasn't sure which would be the better choice. I'm already going to have to replace the entire wiring harness bubba and the years have not been kind. Cheaper is better in some cases but were wires are concerned I don't plan to cut corners I guess its the ex...
OK so after cracking open the blinkers I've come to the conclusion that the jeep was buried in wet sand lol. Not really but there was sand everywhere in this Jeep and inside the blinkers cone was a mess and is not repairable is it more cost effective to find the guts or just replace the whole thing?
I had a bit of free time today and was able to get the grill sanded down all the way and into primer. I still have to take care of the headlight buckets and blinkers but it was getting late and I was out of primer. lol
Sweet glad to know it thanks Bill. The weather around here is suppose to be bad all week so I'm prolly not going to get much work done and I was told if I miss my wife's first doctors appointment I won't have the equipment to make another baby. I'm kinda excited to find out what we are having so...
Stopped by to see the jeep today I can't stand not knowing what's what. Looks like I have the right E-brake under there and the T90-1 with a tag of 4-29-1952 on it. Other then that I'll leave it up to you guys this was the best I could do the jeeps up against a fence on that side so its hard to...
So here is my first days efforts I only had a few hours to work before I had to go to work at my job. But I was able to get the front grill pulled apart and sanded down most of it, I was also able to pull out the bend that was in it. Still have some work to do on the back side but it's coming along.
Man Zout you come on by anytime and you can show this wet behind the ears rookie anything you want. I love this jeep and this hobby but man I never felt so out of my depths. She needs a lot of love and I'm gonna spend a lot of time on this. I'm no where near Commander Warp speed on knowledge or...
Everything that I'm seeing online says the T90 was the correct transmission and the spicer transfer case every picture I can find of the trans looks like mine is there something your seeing that I'm not maybe? Here are a few close ups:
Lovely, So spicer didn't make the tranfer case? I haven't looked into much yet since I've been so busy at work. My boss seems to think that working 6 days a week is a good thing lol. It's not hard to think the tranny was put onto the cj frame with the engine so it might still "be here" just...
The "Daisey Duke" rims are gone as soon as I can get them off, right now they are of some use, as soon as they aren't we can work something out. There are only 3 of them not sure if that makes a difference, the combat rims I'm not sure what I'm going to do with yet. After reading about the MZ-2...
I forgot the data tag on the U.S.M.C. tub it reads:

As you can see I've got a pretty wide era of parts, most of the M38 is there. The other stuff however is a bit of a mess. There are 2 MB tubs one however the front section was cut off and mated with a CJ2A front I believe judging by the embossed "Willy's" on the windshield and lack of glove box...
OK boys and girls here goes. I started a new thread for my recovery and build, the recovery actually took place last weekend but I just made a second trip today to get the last piece of the puzzle. So I thought it would be best to have everything here before I started a thread. So 5-11-13 was...
