👍👍👍 You guys kill it on the raw:rock: this was great to witness though your video and we all can relate to pucker factors as you described your unexpected change in throttle😳. Bummer on the bumper🙄 thanks again!

Sorry for the late response...OMG that is Bronco Heaven:thumb:. I have spent the past week trying to get this old 74 to run and so far no luck. Did get the engine to turn over with a new solenoid and battery. No spark and now running a temp. Fuel supply and electric pump. Just started snowing...

Papa Mo 1980 CJ7 with 25,000. Original miles and original paint

Awesome trailer Thanks for the great trailer build thread. I have a m416 that I used for trail restoration projects and hauling pine needles to the burn pile. I think it may have a new life ahead and will get me and the misses off the ground. Thank you again and I may be reaching out for more...

That is a lot of money for? Bottle jack, hi-lift work great for a fraction of that number😳

👍👍👍 Another great video guys! I have been looking at that winch. Don’t get me wrong, I love my powerplant, but it does block a lot of air to the radiator. Looking to get your feedback. Keeping things simple is always the best approach and I can tell you that on my 8274 on “Papa Mo” it’s never...

Thanks for the resources. Overlander, will do:thumb: I am always looking but these last two came out of the blue.

Thanks man, I have always regretted selling my 68, 31 years ago and I think I bought this one right considering the condition. Funny when your not looking...they are getting priced out of my range even for a pile of crap. Should have it running and ready to bring home by Saturday. Stay tuned...

So a few weeks ago my club did a snow run to Uncle Tom’s Cabin. On the way, one member said he new of a 1974 Sport Bronco that was in the forest outside Georgetown. Well I found it today and bought it. I’ll be sourcing Brute for sure. It has the original paint but not in good shape, it’s been...

Here are some examples of what it probably looked like 66 years ago when it was built as Contract#12107.

There were no benches, but there are slide brackets and lockdown holes with evidence there were at one time. Both WC and TC had these along with bows and canvas over the bed that tied into steak sides.

Thanks guys, The name Iron Horse is a good one, however... Yosemite Sam stuck for a few reasons:thumb: I found online a truck with the next serial number. It has an established history from the same order number. Apparently it was built as an Army weapons carrier/troop carrier. One had bench...

Data plates All the numbers are now in the registry. Some decoding done and is described in earlier post. Here are the placards.

Outside Here are few outside shots

Lots of research, should be fun. Thank you for checking in. It’s going to be slow going but I’ll post as many progress pics as I can. I’ll download a few outside shots. Amazingly the windows rolled up and all glass including the windsheild’s Are crack free:thumb:

Starting point pics So Easter was celebrated with family and friends and I hope everyone enjoyed theirs. Now I am doing a photo document for disassembly and reference for when it goes back together. I found a remake water pump from China for cheap and thought I would try it. Still trying to...

Interesting how these minor steps create such great results, well done. I was concerned that 4.75” of back space would rub the frame or sway bar. Actually less would create more issues where the fender trim is. Thanks again for all the insight you bring to us considering our future JL build:thumb:

Thanks bud, my neighbor asked me often “where the heck is Yosemite Sam?” I think your the one who convinced me to name him that. Well it stuck:thumb:

Yosemite Sam made it! Sam made the journey from North East Oregon to the Rocking K Ranch. First things on the list.... brakes, cooling system and fuel system. Found most of the parts online. Should be a driver after that. Stay tuned:thumb:

Weather change With it changing from winter 29 degrees to this afternoon 84 degrees, went with ribs.
