Do I replace the flywheel, or is it possible that the starter has shifted and I can shift and realign the starter? ]]> whitecj7 http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f2/cj7-flywheel-14264/ New to the site http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f60/new-site-14263/ Fri, 18 May 2012 02:04:23 GMT Hey all. I just recently found the site and of course wanted to join. I've got a 65 CJ5 that I have almost completely torn down. It's down to the frame and drivetrain at the moment and I hope to finish dismantling it this weekend. Then its a lot of body rust repair and a decision about brakes and steering and I'll be putting her back together. This is my first build and I'm sure I'll have a million questions along the way. I look forward to the build and getting to know the site and members along the way.

Thanks ]]> Introductions babo7tee http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f60/new-site-14263/ 73 CJ5 Vitamin C http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f104/73-cj5-vitamin-c-14261/ Thu, 17 May 2012 20:21:35 GMT Vitamin C is the color used from a 2012 Hyundai Veloster. My wife calls it Jon's Jeep cause my grandson loves it (He's 3!)




Finally got her out on the dunes last weekend (Silver lake State Park, MI)


I have almost 2 years of time and money in the rebuild. All new seats, top, tires, engine. Rebuilt suspension, new paint, all running gear. Added power steering, new clutch, and lots of custom made pieces. There is nothing that hasn't been rebuilt or modified!

This is what the engine looked like when I found it on CL

Rebuilt with 4.0 7120 head, Weber 38DGES carb, HEI, 95 Cherokee exhaust, Comp Cam 235 cam, lifters and timing chain. New fuel, water, oil pumps. 1 wire alternator.

Lock Rights in both diffs, 3:73 gears in the stock Dana 30 & 44. T14 trans with new 2-3 gear assembly, synchros, bearings, seals and gaskets.

Poly bushings and HD shackles, Rough Country 9000 shocks.

I lowered the seat brackets 3-1/2" cause the new seats are thicker (taller) than the original seats. I cut the steering column 4" and added a Grant wheel. Used a later roll bar to protect the grandkids, but had to shorten the back bars to accomodate the new Bestop. Built a tire carrier that fits the trailer hitch for easy removal. Welded up all of the holes in the dash and added a new speedo assembly, switches, and indicator lights. H4 headlights and led taillights. A few SS parts. The Ford wheels were on the Jeep when I bought her...I like them! New stock brakes and parking brake cables.

The engine runs great! Much more power than the old 232! I drove her back to Michigan on Friday 200 miles. Got 19 mpg. Unbelievable! I am really looking forward to driving her this summer. This Jeep will never see snow while I have her. This will be a garage kept baby.:chug: ]]> Members CJs rlitavecz http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f104/73-cj5-vitamin-c-14261/ 2004 Ram 3500 and 1999 Hitchhiker II http://www.jeep-cj.com/forums/f94/2004-ram-3500-1999-hitchhiker-ii-14260/ Thu, 17 May 2012 13:11:48 GMT I don't know too much about RVs but I do know about Ram Trucks and this looks like and excellent deal in Rhode Island

The owner says it was whining when he removed it but did not grind or have any other problems. I was thinking it might be a good candidate to have professionally rebuild and put in my 81 CJ.

The reverse lights are wired to a toggle switch and it has two wires. What I want to do is put the stock plug back on. If I have the correct plug, it only has 3 wires. Is this correct and
how do I wire the stock plug if I have 4 wires?
