September 2017 - June 2020... The Jeep was running pretty good, but I had 2 issues with it. The first, and probably most dangerous was that every once in a while, it would just die. Just like turning the key off. I never had this issue before I installed the TBI setup, so naturally, I...

I only had 2 issues. Both were issues that had nothing to do with the system itself, but were just exposed because of the new system. I'm putting a post together about those issues.

September 2017 I had rebuilt the front differential. I also replaced the axle seals, ball joints, brakes, and installed a set of Alloy USA Chromoly axle shafts with Dana 44 Universal joints.

Yes, I went and picked it up right after Christmas 2016 and drove it back to Houston. The other items are completed, but I'm just posting all the different activities to get the thread brought current. I'm still working on it and it's been quite a journey.

I had a 1982 720 King Cab when I was in the Navy. I bought it from Jim Connor Racing in Lake Havasu. It was an old shop truck and they were transitioning everything over to the Hardbody style. It had some nice JCR suspension pieces and a nasty later model Z24 that was built there. It was a...

Mine was a 1972 CJ5 Renegade. My dad and I put a 4WD Hardware Fiberglass tub on it. Factory 304. it was my high school car that I sold when I went in the Navy.

While I was replacing my ball joints, I came across this issue...

One of the things I brought back from my Arizona storage was this 8274 that had been sitting in the corner of my shop for years. I had picked it up as a backup for the one on my LC80, but it is a natural fit on an old CJ.

After we got the Jeep to Texas in January 2017, I pretty much just drove it around here and there. I added a GM based TBI system. It was a great upgrade all around. Better starting, better economy, I spec'd it out to handle modern ethanol fuel so I wouldn't need the additional expense of...

I forgot to mention the trip from Flagstaff to Houston. I worked out getting the title and keys from the PO, and now I start thinking about the logistics of bringing it to Houston, where I currently live. I figured that when I went out to AZ to see my family at Christmas, I'd get the Jeep...

For those with a Prinsu rack with the old style J hook type mounts: If you are the original owner, you can contact Prinsu, and they will provide a full replacement set of the new style clamps and all associated hardware under the lifetime warranty. They are far superior to the original design...

The edit doesen't show, but I had put one whole jug of fuel that you can see in the video, and then we went and filled the jug again so I could have gas to put in the carb and in case I had to run it off the jug. I poured the rest in towards the end of the video befor I break it free from being...

Here is the video of when I first saw it and getting it moving again. This was December 2016. Credit @Fergie for the camera work and @remerglobal for the editing.

Yeah, but it’s rotten for Arizona or Texas…

I sold this CJ-7 back in 2001. I had owned it from 1995-2001. I ran into the last owner at a gas station in Flagstaff, AZ around 2008, and we got to talking about the old Jeep. It had changed hands a few times since I had sold it. I gave him my card and told him "If you ever want to sell it...

I’m happy it was helpful.

I just keep them inside.

I made a little video about replacing the flange and gasket with an aluminum flange.

Nothing special. 1979 CJ7.

Any more out there?
