This thread was floating around in the TJ forum when I was down there......so I'm stealing it.....

What did you do to your CJ today?

[Mudslide]

Today? Nothing.
Tomorrow? Mounting a winch.

[KrazyGimp]

Nothing today, but yesterday I threw on a set of new Dayton Timberline MT's and went snow wheeling. It was a blast, these tires rule.

[CJ7Rubicon]

Install new cig lighter for my gps.

Well, my new to me '65 CJ5 is getting all new brakes which were ordered a week ago. So this morning I contacted the vendor and asked where my shipment was! Yesterday I packed the cleaned orig. wheel bearings (20,765 orig. miles) and statically set the ignition timing in preperation of starting it for the first time in many moons. I'm slowly bringing it back to life after being stored for over 10 years. Found two humungous black widow spiders living in the front brake drums.

Much more to do so I'm working on it a little every day.

I looked at it and thought to myself "I should probably get some work done on that". Then I walked away.

[egabriella]

Put gas in it.. again

[ohio77cj7]

looked at it and wondered why my power steering hose doesnt fit. thats what i get for not ordering it through a jeep catalog.

[dirtman13]

I'm on the last leg of a frame up restoration/engine swap that I have been doing for about 1 1/2 years. Installed 99 Vortec 4.3L with a 4L60E trans. Sunday I finished wiring the motor and installed B&M shifter. Started right up and runs like a champ.
Today I ordered the front drive shaft from Tom Woods and Saturday I'm getting the exhaust done. Should be ready for paint in about two weeks.
