Wow that thing really is sweet. I’d definitely go with a functional restore. Get all the lights, engine, mechanical stuff working fully and drive it as is. I’d try to find a way to lock that patina in so doesn’t spread any further without losing the look. It looks awesome. Sent from my iPhone...

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking as well. Oh well at least I had fun taking it apart. I’ve never done anything like this before so I gotta shay I was like a kid in a candy shop. I just dropped the oil pan and man it looks great. There’s a slight bit of sludge from what looks to be condensation but...

Correct. The head gasket actually looked pretty good. The oil residue on the cylinders, pistons, and heads didn’t look like there was any water. After draining the oil as mentioned in another thread it all looked good. It has been sitting for a while near Newport Beach (less than 3 miles from...

Started the Head Gasket repair process. Removing the valve cover was super simple Removing the head was just as easy. Only one bolt gave me any trouble but it was nothing PB Blaster and a light touch of an impact wrench couldn’t fix Got quite a bit of corrosion in the cooling channels. I’m...

Headed to a meeting this morning and decided to pass by Holy Jim to capture a pic of my Jeep with snow capped mountains. Before I made it too far I got flagged down as someone had rolled their Jeep and was hanging precariously on the edge of a steep drop known as jeep hill. (Should be renamed...

So one of the very first things that I need to do is replace the head gasket on the 1955 CJ-5 I just purchased. It’s definitely got a leak somewhere as the oil is nice an milky. How hard is this to do yourself and should I be thinking of replacing anything else while I’m at it? Any tips or...

There’s an episode of Roadkill Garage where they restore the paint on an old car (roadrunner I think). You’d be surprised what some of those paint restoration kits with the right power buffing tools can do Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

I’d use a snatch block. You could in addition to pulling from different angle, chock your tires with a rock or spare tire. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Went wheeling in the early evening with a buddy last weekend at Holy Jim. A small trail with mostly creek crawling and some hill climbs. He was taking one of his family members wheeling for the first time. Long story short I was following him and he ended up getting us lost in the creek and...

I used to run my stock rubi rims/tires at 12psi. No issues whatsoever. Beadlocks as much as I love mine are slightly more of a hassle and only worth it if you’re gonna be wheeling a lot. I run my 37s on beadlocks at 8-9 psi and have a blast on the rocks. That extra couple of psi really does make...

So my wife and I are headed back from an early Valentines Day dinner. As we were at the light headed home we see a red, highly modified, Jeep with Nitto stickers accross the doors come flying around the corner to make the left turn light. The conversation went something like this: Me: Oh wow...

The BEST "I HATE WAYALIFE" YouTube Video Comments Nope!! Did my thesis on a similar topic. If you truly want to save the environment stop eating beef. The carbon footprint involved for producing a LB of beef is equivalent to driving to NY and back. Love my steak and my Jeep! Does...

Mine don’t flutter at all. I put a long strip of heavy duty double sided tape for outdoor use and it holds real well. https://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Scotch-1-in-x-1-66-yds-Permanent-Double-Sided-Extreme-Mounting-Tape-414DC-SF/203405976 Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app
