Here I will post things that I found interesting or funny, but may have nothing to do with my Jeep.
... or maybe it does have something to do with my Jeep ... lol

Just seems lately something is out to keep me from working on the jeep. The new place does not have any decent place to work on the rig, so I am trying to
create a make-shift spot till I can do something better. And if that was not enough, work has me up to my eyeballs in problems to solve, so
is eating up a lot of time that I could be using better.
Hopefully I can catch a break and get back to my fun soon.
Well I finally got the carb back together and it is still being stubborn and won't start.
Now I am going to try checking the timing again when I have the time. Seems here lately I am spending more time at work that at home.
And with gas prices the way they are going I am not too sure that it not running is such a bad thing. At least I can't be tempted to go cruising
around in the desert everyday in it.
Got new fuel lines run to the carb and got it to start, just need adjust the idle speed.
Now it is evident that there is something else wrong, either a blown head gasket, a cracked head, or the worst thouhgt, a cracked block.
I am hoping for the blown head gasket, but won't have time to find out till I finish the move to out new house.
I have spent the past week working on the Jeep
I have finshed up a few of my on going projects and am close to having back on the road.
I have put in the helper springs, finished up the 3" body lift, and loomed the wires for the underside rock crawling lights.
I have even odered my new rims, which should be here this week, so I can put the new rubber on.
Now I need to get my behind in gear and replace the water pump so I can start driving it aqgain.
Seems every time I think I am almost ready to put the Wagoneer back on the road, I find a new problem.
My latest appears to be some sort of carb problem. Spark plugs are covered in fluffy black stuff.
I am guessing that since it was a bit abused before I got it, and now that I have been doing my thing it has been sitting,
that most likely the carb float is stuck. So I guess my next project will be to pull the carb and rebuild it on the bench.
