my new/first cj7 project...

[carchameleon]

smike found me a t-18 on ebay last night, and i clicked the \"buy it now\" button and got it.  going to pick it up tomorrow after work.  driving my broken tow rig to get it.  

smike and i got about 15 miles from my house sunday night and my transmission started slipping...  turns out i lost 3rd and 4th gears.  at least i still have 1st and 2nd...

looking for a cheap daily (5spd american), then planning on trading my truck in for a nicer one when i can feel comfortable doing so.

paul let me know when you need help finding a vehicle.

Paul, if you want to borrow a driver I can see if the RamCharger is up to daily duties again.  I think I got the front pump seal to seal up again and that was the only thing wrong with it when I parked it.  Well that and the howl but it\'ll probably be fine howling for thousands of miles.

Only about 10mpg but at least it has all three of its speeds.

Smichael would agree! :)

[smichaelR22]

now that i have a nice daily...

the gas tank is back in with the new sending unit, new wire to the guage, new rubber fuel line, fresh fluid in the rear diff, locker in front, all the tires on and its ready to go, that is after i clean all the crap i piled in it while its been in the garage....

i\'m going to drive it after work tomorrow, to the gas station first, haha

i\'ll actually take pics while i do the transmission swap, sorry i haven\'t been so good at taking pics while i work...

[smichaelR22]

THanks for the broken hard top, i trimmed some fat and added some ply and a window.... looks fun on the CJ5   :)

now lets get that T18 in !

[GTJake]

that looks sweet!

[Wingman]

When did you change the spare tire carrier?

[smichaelR22]

a while back, i got sick of not being able to see driving it on and off road... works alot better, except i seem to find at least every RC trip a place to smash it...

[carchameleon]

may attempt tranny swap next weekend, not sure whats going on...   we\'ll see

[carchameleon]

swap tomorrow, although lets see when i wake up...

[smichaelR22]

i might be back with the picker tonight, and will be on call Sunday so i could help- but my CJ needs to be put back together :)
