What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

Why do you people do this to me, ..... I'm trying to fix rust and you show me new and doable toys

 

Today's work
Passenger side ready (I think)



Driver side started, not welded yet



and a little planning on where my new gas fill will be



At least I'm starting to get more done.
It's supposed to be warm (70's) the next 3 days,
Now as long as nobody calls and asks if I can help them move, maybe progress will be made

 

Still working on the winch. Actually got it mounted now.
I know, it's not a 8274 but I'll have to make do with it until I can do better. In other words, until I find one.
Also changing the radiator to a 4 core, with an Elec. pusher fan.

 

It's really hard to think about dropping 3K for a new one, good luck finding a used one. Smittybuilt on the front of mine for now.

 

It is for me.

 

Here’s your winch
8472 or 8274 what do the numbers mean?

Supposedly:

8 - 8000lb
2. - 2-way power
74 - introduced in 1974

 

More work on the Gas Fill relocation





and then enclosing things



This is what it will look like once I get the corners on.

 

A trip to the car wash to get rid of some Utah red dirt!

 

Love the color

 

Why are you pulling it? Hmm we may have to talk…

 

Clean up continues from the UT trip - oil change, clean out the interior, re install rear seat and seat belts, and put my dog dishes back on. They're pretty scarce so they got left at home this trip.

 

Are those wheels stock? Love the dog dishes, and would totally rock them, but would want to be able to fit 33x12.5's on my Jeep.

 

15 x 8 steelies that I found on CL.

 

Nice! I wasn't sure if one had to stick with stock wheels to add the center caps. I'm intrigued now....

 

They look identical to the the 15x8 wheels I bought from Summit for the '69 a couple years ago. Price is still somewhat reasonable at $142 each: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/WVI-62-585504

 

That does look.like them.
I got lucky, and the hubcaps I had fit them.

 

And the question is, will those wheels clear with disc brakes on a d30?

 

Not my Jeep and not my project, but my son is building this trans tunnel cover for his Willys pickup. I think he's doing a great job!
