I recommend checking the oil in your axle after a water crossing. At least pull the fill plug and dip your finger in there to see if it's got water. Could be very costly if you don't.

I think this is a pretty good thread. One of the things that I keep in my cj is a inverter. Comes in handy on camping trips and blackouts.

Awesome, congratulations!

Thanks for the info. I've heard the Aussie is probably the best as far as "lunchbox lockers" go. I do have locking hubs, so I'm not to concerned about drivability. I haven't ordered it yet, so I'm still open to suggestions. Thanks again.

Looks like its unanimous. Thanks, rear it is.

Hey forum, I finally got my 44 ready to instal in my cj. I'm looking to instal a locker, lunch box type. My question is I only have funds for one right now. What do you guys think is more effective, front or rear? Thanks guys

I wouldn't spray the belt with wd-40. Since its a new belt it may have just seated itself and needs to be retightened. You should have about a half inch of up and down movement in the belt. Also if the battery is weak, the alternator may be struggling to keep up, causing the belt to squeal.

No belts in the transfer case. Can you give a better discription. Like does it happen when you press the clutch? Does it do it all the time?

Great looking project. There's a thread on here, 1956 CJ5 build. By la 2003. He's documenting a frame off restoration of his. There's a lot of good info and pictures on there for early cj's.

Hi Eric, welcome to Jeepz. Be sure to include some pics in your build thread.

Check for loose belts

Does the pressure change when you rev the engine?

Have you thought of moving the front spring hangers (on the rear springs) forward?

Small block Chevy

Yep by the looks of the photo, it's different. The plug for the T-98 slips on from the side.

It is a good strong transmission. Not sure if the connector for the wires that you said were hanging will fit. Since that trans was never offered in a yj. I just use a toggle switch for my reverse lights.

Welcome to Jeepz. Your fuel line should have these little metal tabs that bolt to the frame to hold your line in place. The hard line is a lot safer than rubber. I try use as little rubber line as possible. The plug for the t-98 is located on the top of the transmission. You may have to feel...

I should have thought about that too. My jeep is Fiberglas, so I had to run a ground wire from the solenoid mounting bolts to the frame for it to work. Forgot about that.

That's one tough looking jeep Steady.foot. I noticed on your specs. you listed a smittybilt 8000# winch. I was thinking about getting one and was wondering if you had a chance to use it yet and would you recommend it?

Without a roll cage,I think the only option you would have is to replace your seats with the type that have the shoulder belt built into the seat itself. I drive an 07 gmc 3500 at work and it has those kinds of seats. Pretty comfortable too.
