I've been out of town for a couple of months, but finally got back to work on the truck. Accordingly there was a lot of pent-up need to get stuff done, so he had a good week

1. re-stuffed the passenger seat. I was not surprised to find once the canvas was off the only thing left was a bit of blue fiberglass-looking matting and springs. I shoved in 2 layers of egg crate foam and put the original canvas back on. Passengers report it is much improved.
2. I cleaned and lined the tranny tunnel with insulation. It seems to have worked well as the temps in the cab feel better, and now I hear a lot more exhaust/engine noise than I did before. Definitely less rattles and less drivetrain noise.
3. Installed a shifter boot my wife made for me. Just need to install the t-case boot now.
4. Fixed the front of the soft top - like most my soft top front seam completly let go, and it's been held together with duct tape for some time now (about a year.) I used the common j piece from house siding and epoxied it to the soft top. It seems to have worked just fine, and in a shakedown run had no problems. It was nice to have that completed
5. Built a quick bracket to attach the license plate without drilling holes in the truck. The truck is finally legal!

Replaced the damaged fender,exhaust donuts,a couple of brackets and replaced a lot of bolts with matching new ones in the process.

Replaced the upper radiator hose and changed the coolant filter. It was something I had needed to do for quite some time, but just finally got around to it. The upper radiator hose wasn't nearly as hard to put on as I thought it would be. I did not need to dismount the radiator or tilt it forward or anything. I did let the new radiator hose get warm in the sun so that it would be more plyable, but I think all that did is make it harder to handle on account of it being a million degrees...

Prepped & painted troop seats.

Removed my cargo cover, hard top, and doors & enjoyed an open air drive. Makes me miss all the Jeeps I had when I was a kid!

Tore out the walls, roof and part of the floor on my M109A3 the past few days for my camper conversion. I'm taking it to the beach next month I'm thinking about posting a build thread on the stuff I'm doing to it since I got a lot of inspiration from the other threads here.

It's been over the last few weeks, but here goes. I pulled both front wheels and replaced all seals, boots, brakes, wheel cylinders, etc. Removed and rebuilt the master cylinder. Installed the remote brake reservoir upgrade. Bought an M105 and installed the top. (Thanks Dudley!) Replaced the front right fender and fixed the rust hole in the cab. During that process, found and replaced the rusted out turbo elbow on the exhaust pipe. Replaced both windshields.... I'm sure there are other things I can't think of right now.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that I could not have performed any of these repairs/upgrades without my father and my good friend Don. Life is definitely better with good people to help you through!

Well, first time posting here, but have been reading posts for awhile.
This weekend, adjusted the clutch (had no free play), much better now, Passenger outside door handle would open the door, sometimes!! Removed latch mechanism and found a wore little arm, that pushes the latch open, repaired that and built a new rear liense plate bracket, truck had plate attached to tailgate, didnt like that so made a new one. Took some pics of the tag bracket, made from a piece of 12ga sheet metal, cut out slot so could be attached with turn signal wires running through it, mounts to turn signal housing bolts, primed and painted flat black, much better than on tailgate

have enjoyed reading the posts

I fixed the emergency side air line, replace the valve that was damaged, and pulled off the mudflap to pound the dents out of it.

This is all good stuff! Finally finished installing my ether start system, eliminating the flame heater. Very simple! I was quite pleased.

Passenger side front silicon boot and seals. Time for a nap.

 

[srodocker]
