By the grace of God , your teams always return unharmed and your rigs always return in serviceable condition with minimal damage . That in itself is skill . You guys are a force to be reckoned with ! I'm sure that every trek your teams make just makes you guys better off roaders than the great...

In the true spirit of the Core , you truly improvise , adapt and overcome ! Outstanding Marine ! Hoo Rah !

Perhaps I'm being too judgemental. I should be happy that there is an effort on the part of the manufacturer that the jeep name is still alive and kicking and has not disappeared with the likes of Oldsmobile and Pontiac firebirds . Just wonder how that fancy nine speed will fair ! May make an...

We just don't get a break , do we ? Most would think the radiator fix would be the tough job compared to a radio knob . No slack , they just don't make radio knobs the way they used to. That bothers me to . That's why things never get completed . Can't find decent parts sometimes .

As dangerous as the trek is on those narrow mountain trails , the scenery is incredible . I'm certain that is what draws four wheelers to make the difficult trail blazing on these tours . It's not just about man and machine , it's about enjoying the beautiful landscape and clean fresh air ...

old jeeps never die , they just get rebuilt , again .

I'm sorry , but whenever I see one on the road , the last thing I'm thinking of is giving a wave . Makes me wonder , did someone in marketing get the bright idea of trying to attract a new wave of " jeepers " to the party again ? The day that the phrase " SUV " was coined and 4wd or 4 wheeler...

That cap which is secured with a clamp is split ! It looks like a bypass port depending on what application it can be used for besides the engine that is currently installed . But regardless , the clamp and cap must be replaced !

Good call . A non functioning or partially open EGR valve should not be overlooked . It will produce an over rich mixture at idle and will be pronounced as you accelerate . The result is backfiring . Instead of just pulling the vacuum line , pull the EGR valve and clean the port as well as the...

From the description of the under hood wiring , it sounds like not much if anything was removed from the original system and the injection system and ECM/PCM ( depending on what year system was installed) was just installed over it . About the only wiring that comes to mind that may have been...

I whole heartedly agree . My dad had found through a test over 15 years ago that he too needed bypass surgery . He's still here thanks to modern medicine. I've elected to secretly give him my 1980 cj5 since he likes to drive it and bugs me to insure and register it ( not done with resto work...

Our thoughts and prayers to your buddy , our best wishes for a full recovery .

Thankfully , no one bought it from the snapped winch line ! I think the keystone cops could have done better than these guys . It's obvious the engine was still running to produce the runaway almost comical but dangerous error . Amazing the roll over valve didn't stall the engine . This is one...

Your most welcome . More pictures of the current install of the fuel and ignition system are welcome since injection and ignition system upgrade is a hot topic on the CJ and other jeeps of the '70's and '80's era. Your jeep seems to be successful and will be a good starting point for anyone whom...

thank you ! It will be a long road for me too ( and $$ as you know ) but thankfully the 1980 needs just some TLC body work and rust prevention to last long into the future but the 1973 is a build . You've gone that route ( with two jeeps if I recall ? ) and now you cruise with pride . The 1973...

It's been a while but we got our faith in senior members so don't worry , we left the light on for you . I especially pay attention to your jeep build since I'm currently on the same route . Since your last posts , I've acquired two cj5's myself. One , a 1980 powered by Pontiac which is posted...

Hello and welcome to jeepz.com . Thank you for your posts and sharing your repair project with us. It no doubt helps to serve anyone else who may encounter the same questions upon upgrade as you are now doing. If the injection system and ignition are in fact installed correctly and the driver...

Thank you for advising of the upcoming event. Looking forward to pictures which are always welcome of your outings and the vehicles that attend. As far as the website links , I guess that would be best answered by the administration and/or moderate. Very respectful to be asked but you are a man...

The only other thing that comes to mind at the moment is the air duct itself. Having had to remove it from my '73 CJ to remove the upper tunnel access cover to do a clutch job a few weeks ago now has me thinking of any entrance points that air can infiltrate . Let's see , the fresh air port on...

I'll go with that . The first place to look for a leak if none is found on the brake lines and hoses or wheel cylinders and calipers would be the rear seal of the master cylinder . Rust is a dead giveaway . If you've got power brakes then brake fluid is sure to make its way into the power...
