Well, I haven't posted pictures in a while... I'll try to get on it pretty soon. Here is what have
happened as of last November to present. Eleanor(the Jeep) layed down on us sometime in November after my grandfather was
diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. We didnt bother to work on it since we had other things on my mind. I did research about
the jeep mechanical problems.. I drive the jeep too much to be working on it every other day so I went ahead and decided to
get a new distributor and carb. I didnt bother to buy a distributor till after I found out that a brand new Solex Carb didnt
help it a bit. As my grandfather's conditioned turned from good to bad.. I gave up on the jeep for a while.. occasionally
staring under the hood and pondering. One of the biggest snows since the early ninties hit our region... We needed the jeep
up but it just wouldnt go without the New Distributor.. We had 2 other 4wd Vehicles that did the work though.. In the middle
of the big snow and the holiday season my grandfather passed away and thanks to Hospice he was able to pass away quick and
at home, which he wanted. The day after we had the funeral my father broke his leg in the back yard, leaving him inopperative
to work and he is bed fast. As the distributor came in and we finally got it running... everything worked fine.
Now just until last week or so the brakes have totally went out and the jeep is undrivable once again... The engine runs great
now will all new electric components but it wont stop or drive smoothly. I will keep you updated as parts and other info come
in... thanks...Josh Bullock
Well, after fixing most of the brakes and more parts for them on the way
I plan on fixing the rest of the engine(oil lines etc etc ) and the Suspension. I believe I found the wobble, the bearing
was installed incorrectly on the front hub and the axle nut and shims werent even INSTALLED... they were just laying on the
axle.. not even threaded on.. I have to get some new pics soon, the thing is looking pretty vinatge and aged...very authenic...
Well, after going through master cylinders and two brake like switches, the brakes are finally fixed, i
decided to setup the eccentrics on the brakes... I guess that is all they need instead of days of bleeding them... I guess
I have to have some parts soon.. I need to rapaint the inner tub, 2 years of driving in all conditions with multiple people
take its toll on a 2 coat OD floorboard. After that I plan on fixing the suspension, the leaf spings in the back are in great
shape but I need all new shocks and 2 new front leaf springs and the mounting accessories, You can acutally pull broken springs
out in the front. But I may put the jeep on the backburner and see what else I can do, I go for my license in two days, I
hope that turns out well.
