    Worked on the jeep a little bit today, replaced my temp gauge. Replaced ampmeter with a voltmeter, and also been working on my lighting issues. I wired a hot wire and directly tested my headlights, they work, so gutted all the rest of the wires and got a flip switch for the lights and will be...

    So once I saw how the rinoliner was coming off. I decided while I'm sitting around waiting for the other projects I could go ahead and start the process of taking the liner off of the windshield in prep for getting a new one put in. This project I won't need the help of other hands so I'll keep...

    While waiting on gas tank, I need to try and get the seats put in. They are aftermarket and slightly bigger than the stock seats. 2 issues, (1)the ginormous steering wheel. And (2)the seats are so far forward that I can't move my feet from one pedal to the next. So I am going to try and figure...

    Pulled the gas tank once I noticed it wasn't even hooked up. Some rust, inside is pretty dirty with old gas and the rust has created a few holes in the bottom.. So options, try and repair gas tank or just get a new one with piece of mind. Thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

    I finally have a jeep. 1950 willys Cj3a. It will need some work. It wasn't as clean and well oiled as claimed to be. But all in all I still felt it was worth the trade. The guy threw in new seats and frame. I'm not planning on original restore so I was ok with that. Also a brand new bikini top...

It's not the best jeep in the world but I test drove it and seemed to run pretty good. Very stiff brakes though. But the cosmetics...
