What did you do to your CJ today? - Page 6

ClarkGriswold · 03-01-2007, 07:25 PM

Just peeked at my CJ as I left for work while I was remember that yesterday it was in the 70s and I drove it to work. After work, the wife and I took the Jeep and went out to dinner. ....thinking all along, "This thing is running great. What don't I know is about to happen?" ....and... thinking that I need to pull the engine but it's sure running good.

Still sitting in the garage waiting on the UPS guy to deliver my parts....Not that I really mind driving the New Dodge CTD to work...heheh

I drove it into the woods in my yard to rescue my son and my tractor. He managed to sink the tractor in a swampy creek. I even got to use the winch to pull it out

For the first time since last June I drove it to the gas station.
The last time it went it had a 258 under the bonnet, now it's got a 360.
Man what a difference, can't wait to get it tuned up but at the minute it really flies

Drove it to work for the first time in two weeks. much like griswold though this is the best this thing has ran since i got it, also thinking, ok whats about to break. Took a deep breath and rationalized to myself that much like humans, jeeps just need some time off to rest and heal themselves, everything will be ok.

Looked out the window,watching the rain leak down the inside glass thinking to myself ''oh,youll get yours'' next time on the trail...

Finally got my hard top put on that I bought 4 months ago, now the weather is in the 70's and 80's and I really dont feel like taking it off.

Drove it to work. Wondered what gaskets and seals I'm all going to need to replace to keep water out of the cab during a rainstorm (3.5 inches of rain last night). Ordered a YJ brake cylinder and booster to perform the swap.

Picked up a 12 bolt and a 44 . ARB's 5.38 gears already installed for 850 dollars... I leave for Korea on wednessday so they are going to sit in the garage for a year
