LET'S MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE UP FRONT

AS LONG AS YOUR HUBS ARE UNLOCKED, EVERYTHING SHOULD BE FINE AND NORMAL, EVEN IN 4WL, YOU WILL HAVE THE "TEACHING" REDUCTION, AS LONG AS YOUR HUBS ARE UNLOCKED!

WHEN YOU DO LOCK IN THE HUBS, YOU WILL HAVE "FULL TIME POSITIVE TRACTION" (ONLY ON THE FRONT)

THIS IS NOT NOT NOT NOT LIMITED SLIP!

THIS IS EXACTLY HOW DIRT TRACK RACE CARS CHEAPLY MAKE THE REAR ENDS FULL POSITIVE TRACTION (KEY WORD HERE IS "DIRT")

"LIMITED SLIP" MEANS THAT "CLUTCH PACKS" OR OTHER MEANS WILL ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH BOTH WHEELS GETTING TRACTION ALL OF THE TIME,

SHOULD ONE FALL IN A MUD PUDDLE (ETC) THE OTHER WILL CONTINUE TO PULL

THE TRICK HERE, WITH "LIMITED SLIP" IS THAT THE CLUTCH PACKS WILL LET ONE WHEEL OR THE OTHER "ROLL" THE LONGER DISTANCE IN A TURN (JUST LIKE A STANDARD DIFF WILL DO). A "FRICTION MODIFIER ADDITIVE" IS NEEDED TO KEEP THOSE CLUTCH PACKS LUBRICATED

YOU DON'T HAVE CLUTCH PACKS!

DON'T ADD THE ADDITIVES, LUCAS WILL THICKEN THE OIL AND IT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SLING WHERE IT'S NEEDED

YOU ARE GONNA HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN 4WD!

YOUR FRONT WHEELS (ONE OR THE OTHER) IS GONNA "DRAG" DURING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. SOFTER SURFACES WILL ALLOW IT TO BE A BIT SMOOTHER.

THE WORST PART OF BEING IN 4X4, HUBS LOCKED IS GONNA BE TURNING HARD (MAYBE NOT SO HARD) AND THE WHEEL(S) HOPPING. A STOCK JEEP SORTA DOES THIS A LITTLE ANYWAY, IT IS FELT IN/ WITH THE STEERING WHEEL WANTING TO MOVE CW AND CCW (MAYBE A 1/4 TURN) VERY RAPIDLY.

YOURS "MIGHT" JERK THE WHEEL A LOT MORE!

YOURS ON HARD SURFACES IN 4X4 (WHICH IS A NO NO!), MIGHT TRY TO SORTA "MAKE A TURN DIFFICULT TO PERFORM", AS YOU WILL BE DRAGGING ONE OF THE FRONT WHEELS. IN OTHER WORDS, "PLAYING CHICKEN" MIGHT BE A BAD IDEA! NOT HAVING REALLY DEALT WITH THIS KINDA ISSUE (ESPECIALLY ON THE STEERING AXLE) I WOULD NOT RULE OUT A POSSIBLE ROLLOVER, IF A WHEEL CAN'T SLIP ON THE GROUND!

IT'S YOUR JEEP, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE YOU CAN GET ANOTHER FRONT END, WITH THE SAME GEAR RATIO AS AS THE REAR, AND THIS WON'T BE A POSSIBLE PROBLEM

THE MEDIC

YOU DO NOT HAVE LIMITED SLIP!

YOU HAVE A "NEVER CAN SLIP AT ALL" FRONT END

YOU SAID THE REAR WHEELS MOVED IN OPPOSING DIRECTIONS (STANDARD DIFF)

I LIKED HOW SIMPLE THE DIFF WAS EXPLAINED IN 1937

I LIKED THIS ONE TOO. 'COURSE THE BOSSES HERE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE INAPPROPRIATE (WHADDA YOU THINK?) I SORTA LOOK AT IT AS AN INSPIRATION THAT I REMEMBER FROM WHEN I WAS A KID (THIS AIRED WHEN I WAS ABOUT 14). LET ME SET YOU UP FOR THIS ONE

THE ONE WITH THE LONGER HAIR (LIKE MANY WHOM HAVE STALKED ME SO MANY TIMES) SUDDENLY ABANDONS THE "DARK SIDE". WATCH HOW FAST! (ALMOST A BLUR!) SORTA SO QUICKLY JOINS OUR TEAM!THE VOCALS WERE SO SOOTHING TO ME, I'VE HEARD SIMILARITIES MANY TIMES IN PREVIOUS CJ-5s WHEN I WAS IN THE ARMY. ("THE BATTALION STALLION")

OK I MESSED UP THE LINK

SEE IF THIS WORKS

THE MEDIC

MAYBE I SAID SOMETHING MISLEADING!

AS FAR AS "GEAR BOXES", UNLESS YOU DO HAVE LIMITED SLIP, I SUGGEST NO ADDITIVES!

AS FAR AS THE ENGINE GOES, I DO RECOMMEND SOME ADDITIVES (IF YOU DO HAVE A BOTTLE OF LUCAS OIL STABILIZER, KEEP IT!)

HERE'S A POST ABOUT TICKING HYDRAULIC LIFTERS (TAPPETS)

https://www.2carpros.com/questions/ford-f-150-1995-ford-f-150-lifter-noise

I USE A QUART OF MARVEL MYSTERY OIL IN WITH FOUR QUARTS OF MOTOR OIL. I RUN THIS FOR 3000 MILES. JUST TO CLEAN THE ENGINE INTERNALS. (THIS BEING SOMETHING MIGHT DO ONCE IN TWO YEARS.

OTHER THAN THAT, I RUN ONE QUART OF LUCAS OIL STABILIZER (NOT THE SYNTHETIC) ALONG WITH FOUR QUARTS OF MOTOR OIL (I NOW USE CASTROL GTX 20/50 - I USED TO USE HAVOLINE 20/50 TILL IT WAS HARD TO FIND).

I REBUILT THIS ENGINE IN 1995, RAN IT 25,000 MILE (TO INSURE IT WAS WELL BROKE IN) THEN I STARTED USING THE LUCAS OIL STABILIZER

IT COSTS A LITTLE MORE, I HAVE USED THE LUCAS FOR EVERY OIL CHANGE SINCE THEN (EXCEPT WHEN I WAS RUNNING MARVEL MYSTERY OIL IN A OIL CHANGE)

THIS IS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE, HE IS STILL RUNNING STRONG, OIL PRESSURE IS ALWAYS 50-60 PSI (DURING MY 1995 REBUILD, I INSTALLED A HIGH VOLUME OIL PUMP) MY VACUUM GAUGE AT IDLE HOLDS A NICE STEADY NEEDLE AT 22Hg!

SO YES, I DO BELIEVE IN ADDITIVES, BUT IN THE ENGINE.

DO YOU HAVE SOFT TOP HARDWARE (BOWS AND SUCH, DOOR FRAMES)?

WOULD LIKE A FEW PICS OF YOUR BABY, KINDA WANNA KNOW WHATS IN MY GARAGE!

THE MEDIC

UNLESS YOU GOTTA PUT ON SOME GASKETS OR SEALS, THE DRAINS TO THE TRANNY AND TRANSFER CASE ARE ACCESSIBLE FROM THE FRONT OF THE SKID PLATE AND THRU A HOLE IN THE SKID PLATE. (NO NEED TO DROP THE SKID PLATE)

WORKING, DOING HONEY-DOs, RAIN, DARKNESS, SOME LACK OF MOTIVATION ARE ALL PREVENTING ME FROM A LITTLE SANDING AND PAINTING THE GRILL, HOOD, HALF OF BOTH FENDERS. I DID THE REST BEFORE WINTER SET IN LAST YEAR. NOW I GOTTA BEAT IT THIS YEAR!

I SORTA PLEDGED THAT I WOULD NOT CLEAN MY WHEELS OR PAINT THE BLACK STUFF (BUMPERS, FRAME, ETC. W/ SPRAY CANS) TILL I GOT THE BODY STUFF PAINTED.

THEN I GOTTA GET THE LOCAL SIGN GUY TO MAKE ME TWO "RENEGADEs" (SOLID BLACK THIS TIME) FOR MR. HOOD. THE LAST SET I HAD MADE HAD THE "CREAM COLOR" IN THE MIDDLE AND WAS OUTLINED WITH A 3/8 BORDER OF BLACK AROUND EACH LETTER.

LOOKED GOOD IN THE BEGINNING, THEN THE INNER COLOR FADED TO ALMOST WHITE, AND THE BORDER STARTED PEELING UP IN PLACES.

SO, THIS TIME IT'S GONNA BE ONE PIECE LETTERS, BUT IN THE SAME FONT AND SIZE AS BEFORE.

SOUNDS GOOD IN TEXT, I JUST GOTTA JUMP ON IT!

I'LL SHOW YOU SOME OTHER PLACES THAT LUBING WOULD DO IT SOME GOOD (GOTTA FIND THE DARN PICS!)

AS FAR AS TEACHING A STANDARD TRANNY, MOST PEOPLE THINK THAT YOUR "SHIFTS" HAVE GOTTA BE IN "HYPER SPEED", I RECKON THEY FIGGER IT'S A RACE, OR THEY WILL FORGET WHERE TO GO WITH THE STICK IF IT'S NOT DONE IN.000005 SECONDS. MAYBE IT'S THEY WANT THE OPERATION TO BE A BLUR, SO THAT IT DOESN'T APPEAR THEY SHIFTED AT ALL!

WHEN I WAS TEACHING MY DAUGHTER, WE SORTA CAME UP WITH:

IT'S TIME TO SHIFT!

CLUTCH IN

"AND A" NEUTRAL "AND A" SECOND

EZ THE CLUTCH OUT

'COURSE THE "AND As" WORK WITH THIRD AS WELL

WE DIDN'T DOWN SHIFT (USED THE BRAKES) UNTIL SHE COULD HOLD "WILLY" ON AN INCLINE WITH ONLY THE CLUTCH, THEN FROM HOLDING, ROLLING BACK OR FORWARD AND HOLDING AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS.

(SHE'D GET SO MAD THAT WE WERE NOT DRIVING, JUST PLAYING ON THE HILL)

I THEN GOT HER FLUENT IN CRANKING UP ON THE HILL, THEN MOVING FORWARD, NOT LOSING MUCH GROUND (LIKE SHE WOULD HAVE TO DO IT IF IT DIED AND THERE WAS A CAR BEHIND HER)

IT WAS ONLY AFTER SHE WAS GREAT AT SHIFTING, THAT WE COVERED DOWNSHIFTING.

I'LL LOOK FOR MY OTHER PICS

LAST PIC, ALL FASTENERS GO BACK INTO THE SAME EXACT LOCATION AS THEY WERE. I POKE HOLES AND USE NAILS TO HOLD STUFF IN PLACE. ANY PATTERN IS DRAWN AND LABELD.

I DO THE "BOX THING" WITH ANY REPAIR I DO. NO LAYING BOLTS HERE AND THERE ON A FENDER/ ON THE ENGINE. WHEN I GET DONE, THE BOX IS EMPTY AND EVERYTHING HAD A HOME!

THE MEDIC

WHAT?

NO BUMPER?

LOOKS GOOD!

I'M SURE IT'LL IMPROVE OVER A LITTLE TIME, THE BOAT CAN WAIT!

GOT DOORS OR FRAMES? I HAVE MY OLD TOP THAT NEEDS A BOAT UPHOLSTERER TO REPLACE THE WINDOWS (OR AT LEAST THE SPLIT ONES) BETTER'N NUTHIN'!

THE MEDIC

I WAS A-TALKIN' 'BOUT MR. PREVIOUS TOP OF MINE

IT'S IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE- LESS A FEW SPLIT/ SUN DISCOLORED WINDOWS

MY QUESTION WAS, DO YOU HAVE HARDWARE AND DOOR FRAMES?

MAYBE A SUNDAY CONSTITUTIONAL IN YOUR GAS SAVER, SORTA ON ABOUT A 200 DEGREE OR SO AZIMUTH (GIVE OR TAKE A FEW DEGREES). IT'LL BE WAITING TO SERVE ANOTHER JEEP AT NO COST.

ARE YOU "IN" OR "OUT"?

JUST MESSIN' WITH YOU ABOUT THE BUMPER!

AS FAR AS CLEANING THE BOTTOM-DECENT, BORROW/ BUY 4 OF THEM REAL TALL JACK STANDS (I GOT MOST OF MY STANDS REALLY CHEAP AT THE "ROVING TOOL SALE", THAT SHOW UP AT THE FARMERS MARKET EVERY YEAR.

WE STILL HAVE THE SAVE $$$ AT ADVANCE AUTO DEAL! SEE IF THEY HAVE TALL STANDS (LOOK ONLINE-THEN USE THE TECHNIQUE BELOW)

STUDY THE EFFICIENT WAY TO MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU, "A124" WAS STILL WORKING ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO!

https://www.2carpros.com/questions/2001-dodge-neon-milage-just-want-put-fliuds-their-locations

PURPLE POWER IS THE STUFF! A PRESSURE WASHER MIGHT GET MOST OF IT.

BE PREPARED TO TAKE OFF THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND WIPE IT OUT/ OR SOAK THE INSIDE W/ WD-40 TO GET RID OF ANY MOISTURE

YOUR TURN

THE MEDIC

SEND PIC OF YOUR "BENT" TOP PARTS

LOOKS LIKE THE BOAT'S TRANSOM LOOKS JUST FINE IN YOUR PIC! NOW YOU CAN SELL IT AND INVEST FULLY INTO THE JEEP PROJECT!

MY OLD TOP, BUY?

WE'LL DISCUSS HOW IT WILL SERVE YOUR JEEP, TILL YOU CAN DO BETTER.

I WILL SEND YOU A MESSAGE, IN MESSAGES, REPLY THERE AS WELL

SO WHO'S GETTING MORE ATTACHED, YOU OR HER?

LIST OF SOME OF THE PLACES I GET STUFF FROM

CSE OFFROAD

MORRIS 4X4

QUADRATEC

OCONEE OFF-ROAD

KAISER WILLYS

TO GET THE BEST PRICES FROM ANYWHERE

GET A PART NUMBER (OF YOUR DESIRED PART) FROM ONE OF MY PLACES (OR OTHER) OR IF YOU MUST, USE (FOR INSTANCE) JEEP CJ-7 SEATS, OR WHATEVER

KEEP THE SEARCH WORDS TO A MINIMUM, OR YOU'LL GET EVERYTHING YOU DON'T WANT. REWORD DIFFERENTLY IF NEED BE.

TAKE THIS TO www. Shopzilla. Com

ONCE THERE, DROP DOWN "LOW TO HIGH" (OR WHATEVER)

SCROLL, AT THE BOTTOM, DROP DOWN, "80 PER PAGE" THIS'LL KEEP YOUR PAGE TURNING TO A MINIMUM. IT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU ACCESS TO MORE PAGES. I HAVE FOUND THAT THE PAGES "RUN OUT" BEFORE YOU GET TO WHERE YOU NEED TO BE IF YOU DON'T DO "80"

THIS IS A COMPARATIVE SHOPPING SITE, THERE ARE OTHERS YOU MIGHT LIKE BETTER!

ONCE YOU FIND "THE WINNER" FOR THE LOWEST PRICE. MIGHT BE ANY OTHER SITE YOU NEVER HEARD OF,

LET'S SAY, "MIKES JEEP STUFF" (FICTITIOUS), NOW LET'S GO ON THE WEB AND SEARCH "PROMO CODES FOR MIKES JEEP STUFF". YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY WITH A REALLY LOW PRICE TO BEGIN WITH, THEN THE PROMO CODE IS ICING ON THE CAKE!

I FOUND MY FUEL PUMP (AND A SPARE) FOR MY '46 WILLYS AT CSE OFFROAD THIS WAY. THEY WERE $21 EACH, MOST OTHER SITES HAD 'EM FOR ABOUT $50 ON UP! EVEN OVER $100! SAME 'ZACT ANIMAL AT ALL OF THE SITES.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO FIX ON IT NOW?

THE MEDIC

IF YOU PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DOWN, THE DIMMER SWITCH IS/ WAS/ SHOULD BE RIGHT UNDER IT. THERE ARE ONLY 2 SCREWS THAT HOLD IT DOWN TO THE FLOOR

I "RELOCATED" MY NEIGHBORS '83 CJ-7 DIMMER UP TO THE DASH, LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, USING A TOGGLE SWITCH. HE WHINED THAT IT HE COULDN'T REACH IT WELL, THEN HE WHINED THAT THE CLUTCH PEDAL WAS TOO HARD TO PUSH. HE'S JUST A WHINER! HE SOLD THE JEEP 'CAUSE HE SAYS HE GOT A DEAL. THE REAL "DEAL" NOW IS HE MISSES IT NOW IMMENSELY. MOST LIKELY BURSTS INTO TEARS EVERY TIME HE LOOKS ACROSS THE STREET AT MY TWO!

I'LL HELP YOU OUT HERE!

BOAT FOR SALE!
PIC ON PAGE 6
WALK THRU WINDSHIELD VERSION
WILL THROW IN TRANSPORT TRAILER WITH PURCHASE
WILL SACRIFICE SELF PROPELLED WALK BEHIND LAWN MOWER TO SWEETEN THE DEAL.
MUST MAKE ROOM FOR MAJOR JEEP RESTORATION!
(MAY TRADE FOR SMALLER WATERCRAFT, LIKE ONE SEEN BELOW)
BOAT, LIKE HORSE, HAS TWO BEST DAYS, THE DAY ACQUIRED, THE DAY WE SAID GOODBYE!

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A WHOLE NEW SPEEDOMETER VS. REPLACING THE GAUGES? WHAT DOES YOUR MPHs MAX OUT TO ON THE SPEEDO?

DID YOU GET MY EMAIL?

THE MEDIC

I KINDA DON'T SEE WHY YOU SENT MY PICS BACK (PROBABLY A GLITCH, WHEN TRYING TO SEND THE TWO THAT DID NOT SHOW

I JUST GOT ANOTHER COMPUTER, DIFFERENT WINDOWS, "PAINT" IS SET UP DIFFERENT, I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO USE IT TO LABEL PICS I SEND, HECK, "MY PICTURES" ARE NOW OBLIQUE FOLDERS WITH THE EDGES OF PICS HANGING OUT. THESE CHANGES ARE REALLY SLOWING ME UP. NOT BEING ABLE TO ADD LINES AND TEXT(COLORED TEXT) TO MY PICS IS KILLING ME!

I'LL ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN, TILL I GET IT FIGGERED OUT

PIC 1) NIGHT PICS, HER RIGS REFLECTOR IS BEAMING W/ THE FLASH!
WE HAVE THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE, 2 BOWS (BY THEMSELVES)
AND 2 RODS FOR ONE SIDE, THEY ARE DIFFERENT, BUT "MIRROR" THE OTHER SIDE (SEPARATE PARTS, WHEN NOT IN USE, BASICALLY, I HAVE 4 METAL STICKS TO STORE, USUALLY BEHIND THE BACK SEAT!

PIC 2) TOP ROD, EXTENDS FROM PLASTIC DOOR STOP (HOLE AT TOP OF IT) (DOOR STOP SEALS DOOR TO WINDSHIELD, CUTS OUT WIND). EXTENDS TO HOLE IN TOP BOW. THE VERTICAL ROD MUST BE INSERTED AND SHOVED INTO PLASTIC HOLDER OF TOP ROD, AND CONNECTED TO THE TUB, BEFORE THE HORIZONTAL TOP ROD CAN HOOK INTO THE TOP BOW HOLE. OTHERWISE YOU CANNOT GET ANY SLACK TO INSERT THE VERTICAL ROD.

THE TOP, ITSELF, HAS A FLAP LIKE/ SORTA LIKE A STRAP, THAT GOES AROUND THE TOP BOW, THEN DOUBLES BACK FORWARD AND SNAPS ONTO ITSELF. THIS HOLDS THE BOW FROM FALLING REARWARD AND KEEPS THE RODS FIRMLY IN PLACE

PIC 3) THIS IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROD HOLE ON THE DOOR STOP

PIC 4) THE RODS AND TOP BOW

PIC 5) THIS IS THE ORIGINAL "TRADITIONAL" PLASTIC DOOR HANDLE.

SOME AFTERMARKET DOORS USE A PADDLE HANDLE WAY DOWN LOW ON THE DOOR. THAT TYPE IS A PAIN TO ADJUST, AND SOMETIMES DON'T FULLY CLOSE THE DOOR AT THE TOP. THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT I'VE SEEN ON THAT TYPE IS THAT THE TUB PORTION GETS IN THE WAY OF GETTING IN AND OUT, AND GETS BENT (THIS IS MOSTLY ON A CJ-5)

PIC 6) THE OUTSIDE OF THE "TRADITIONAL" DOOR HANDLE (WHICH IS ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE VERTICAL ROD) ORIGINALLY, THE HANDLE "TIP" WAS MEANT TO BE FACING FORWARD. AS MOST SEASONED JEEP FELLERS FOUND OUT, IT BECAME A HOOK (LIKE A U.S. MAIL RETRIEVAL HOOK ON AN OLD STEAM ENGINE TRAIN) THE HANDLE WOULD "ALWAYS" REACH OUT AND GRAB A BIG OLE VINE, A SAPLING, OR A TREE LIMB, IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A "GOOD" ONE, THE STUFF WOULD SORTA RAKE THRU, THEN "GRAB" AND BUST THE HANDLE OFF! TOOK ME TWO HANDLES TO SMARTEN UP!

THE HANDLE IS TWO PIECES, THAT SEPARATE WHEN THE SCREW IS REMOVED, BEINGS THAT IT "INDEXES" ON A HEXAGON IN THE CENTER PORTION, YOU CAN ROTATE THE OUTSIDE HANDLE 180 DEGREES, (IN ALL ACTUALITY, ANY OF SIX POSITIONS-THE OTHER 4 WOULD LOOK STUPID!) NOW ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS "WATCH FOR" THE SNAGS WHEN YOU ARE BACKING UP!

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO CONCENTRATE ON NEXT?
