Thanks for the input and glad to hear that you got it all worked out. Perseverance pays!

Thank you!

Ready to be install..

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear that. Perhaos not a bad idea to find a shop that does carburetor rebuilding. It will be like new when you get it back and hopefully it will fix your problem. Pkease jeep us posted.

I just got my side mirrors back from the powder coating. I love the way they came out. Bumpers will be going out for powder coat Monday Morning.

Many years ago we used to spray starting fluid or carburetor spray over the suspected hoses or the intake manifold and you could notice a change on how the engine ran. That was the culprit.. Good luck to you and please let us know what you find out. It might help someone else.. Have a great day!

I am not sure if this is what your issue might be but I had something similar happen to my 2.5 liter 4 banger. Come to find out that it was the fuel pump getting hot and providing only interrupting fuel.. it was a pain to replace it because I had to drop the fuel thank to have access to it. When...

So I didn’t feel like messing around in the shop and started to play designing parts. I decided that the cheesy hood hinges needed to go. So here is what I came up with. Theh hinges will be made out of aluminum billet and then powder coated flat black. Top and sides of the text will be re...

I love it! Never give up. We are our own limitations. Two years ago I got sick with Covid ( and because my age and being. Full blown Diabetic) I only had 10% chance to survive. I was in the hospital for 6 weeks and fit the first two. I had no clue where and who I was.. Still have issues from...

There is one.. 1/2 thick stainless. I can guarantee that they will not ever flex.. LOL

You got to continue chasing your dreams. My problem was that I had the ideas, had the know how, had equipment to do it.. The only thing that I didn’t have was time. “Retired 6 years ago ( at 62) and worked more than I ever did since. Loving every minute of it and not planning to slow down. BTW...

Well, I finished my Front bumper brackets today and got them all setup and holding the bumper level vertically and horizontally.. then I just got my first design for the shackles. I have something else in mind but that will be tomorrow. Had a bad Diabetes Day today.. please let me know what you...

No problem. I am Extremely busy right now anyways. Besides the hood, I am Making hinges to have a drop down tailgate for the YJ. Making all the hinge using sealed ball bearings.. modifying the roll cage so I can build a polycarbonates, UV and scratch resistant top for the Jeep. Back...

Thanks for the input. I have my YJ for almost 17 years now and never had a spring inverted… That being said, I am not arguing with that prednisone. I am sure others have had that happened to them.. I happen to live in Florida and we don’t have rough enough terrain to have that happen to us.. LOL.

I totally agree. As a life time engineer, machinist and someone that built lots if parts for my Jeep, I see no purpose for a “Boomerang” shape shackles unless you want to be different. Nothing on them changes the actual purpose of them. All that they do is connect the end of the leaf springs to...

No pictures today.. Designing and making brackets for the front bumper. Also designed and programmed new set of shackles. .375 stainless material so I wouldn’t worry about them Getting rusty.. . Once done with the bumpers, while waiting for the powder coating to be done, I will remove the hood...

I am game for anything. I used to teach CadCam software as a contractor for 16.5 years. I scaled down my shop bc and now I have a 1,800 square foot shop on my property. Air conditioned and as far as milling is concerned, I can do up to 4axis on my Haas Mill. I also do turning work.

Thank you!

I am n prices of building my bumpers. Probably the two strongest components of my YJ. Making them out of 2”X6” tube with a wall thickness of 1/4”.. built trailer hitches for the front and back bumpers and planning in building a winch plate that is attached to winch tube 2”X2” with 1/4” wall...

Rick, if you ever need some powder coating done, please let me know. I know someone close to you that does an absolute bang up job. Bonnie Brock at Specialty Powder Ciating in Zephirhills.
