Just signed up after having seen many videos from Eddie and Cindy.
Names jack and my wife and I just bought a 67 CJ5. Been working on it quite a bit as AZ requires 67 and younger to pass emissions. No emission equipment on this 4 cylinder and I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to pass. Had an off brand carb on it when we got it but there was a Carter YF in the tool box so I had it rebuilt. Still failed the idle CO test so I'll be taking it back to Rods Carb repair on Monday or Tuesday. In the mean time it is a blast trying to get the title done and the bank wants their name as lien holder on it soonest.
When the heat is below broil I have been doing this and that by replacing very old wire and a broken oil pressure tube that leaked oil all over the place. Things get brittle after 51 or so years. I am well past that myself so it takes a lot longer than it used to to get things done.
I look forward to reading everybodys stories and advice. We had a 68 many years ago but this one is actually in better shape with zero body rust and a strong engine. I believe it was towed for most of it's life.
Enough for this novel. When we get things up and running we will send some pictures from some trail around here.
