I agree. Looking through make me think of in theater repairs on steroids.gerrykan wrote:Actually that's the impressive part of your story.lawcdw wrote:I just felt my GP build was not of much interest being my build being out in the open and in adverse weather in the winter time.
Not only are you working outside in adverse conditions, you are also rebuilding a GP. Not quite as easy as a standard jeep.
Your doing a frame off in the same conditions we had doing DS in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Great thread.

Re: GP Rebuild in the Great Wide Open
It's interesting this bubbled up, Claude, I dug out all my steering knuckle flange seals the other day. Have you remedied this issue yet?

Re: GP Rebuild in the Great Wide Open
Any updates?
I just took a few hours and caught up reading all of this... It's like putting a book down with a few chapters left.

Re: GP Rebuild in the Great Wide Open
Hi Claude,
I realize you have probably been busy with work, and life in general, but anything new on the GP?

Re: GP Rebuild in the Great Wide Open
Hello Friends,it is good to be back.With the differential not going to the shop until after the first of the year.I will dig up one of a few projects that need tending too. I think I will address the fuel tank.I found an old jeep in a salvage yard a long while back and it had a good fuel tank,so I pulled it to use for the GP.Picts as soon as I find my USB Cord. FORWARD MARCH!!!

Re: GP Rebuild in the Great Wide Open
I think this was a cj tank i am really not sure.I will make it work for the GP.I already cut the fuel neck off.I will patch that hole up.And re-purpose it in a better location unnder the seat.Over-all tank looks to be in pretty fair shape and looks to be a nice fit.
