I think we're on track for it to be Comanche, CJ, and Eagle club

What’s the plan for it? Get dialed in and drive it?

Yep, that’s a nice one. Looks pretty good in the pics, is the diamond plate hiding any sins though?

The color of the valve cover is excellent

How often do you use the truck? If it’s a truck that gets used often, take it somewhere to get it fixed. This thread was started 3 weeks ago and we haven’t even gotten to step one, pull the carpet.

Here's a video from the show. @Eagle_SX4's car is seen at 20:50 roughly. @eaglescout526's Little Red is shown at 27:15, Chunk is at 27:50, and Daeson himself and his Eagle are at 28:20.

LOL, it is better than most, if not every, daily driven WJ I've seen in WI. Being from IL explains the rust though.

I am shocked at how rusty this thing is. Being from WI, I was always told CO vehicles are pretty typically rust free. Is that not the case, was this Jeep not taken care prior to your ownership, or is the WJ just designed poorly so they rust?

Looks great! Much better than most digital dashes.

The motor isn't terribly valuable, though it is very neat being that it had an overhead cam. The front end is worth grabbing.

This thread walks you through it very well

Does it seem worthwhile to try to do it then? Especially if you’d need to buy the welder and the grinder. If you do want to do this. Practice on some extra sheetmetal first. I think I’d recommend bringing it to a pro.

Looks like you can. Figured you’d appreciate the message

I think that nut will round off as soon as you try to turn it. I’d try to use an air hammer to split it and then peel the nut away from the stud.

That was an incredible trip, but I'm sure it feels good to be home and have it home too.

Seeing that, I would assume it is somehow out of adjustment. I wish there was an easy way that we could figure out the type of transmission you have.

Perfect! I think we should also try to figure out what transmission it has. The Chrysler transmissions (like the TF998 that I suspect you may have) do not run the pump in park, so the fluid level must be checked with the engine running and in neutral.

Your English is very good. When you say the kickdown wire, it is just a metal cable inside a plastic sleeve, correct? Any chance you can take some pictures of what you're working with?

That's super strange. I've never noticed that before, but I also never really paid attention either. Now you've made me start watching

A 3 speed with a 4.0 you say? Does is the transmission computer controlled or is it just kickdown linkage? What type of transmission is it? I don't think that you are from the US, but here in the US, all 4.0 Comanches with an automatic transmission came with the AW4 4 speed automatic. Other AMC and Jeep models could come with 3 speed autos. In AMCs, I know this was the TF998 in the late 70s.

Just a guess, does that show up once a thread reaches 2+ pages?

People that have to experience emissions testing will not pass without EGR. If you do not have to go through any sort of emissions testing/inspection, there is no downside to deleting it that I have heard. All it does is feed your engine's waste right back through it, reducing efficiency.

I'm going to guess purely by the fact that it is a Crown part and that it is an aftermarket piece that it is junk. Thin metal and poor fitment.

Other than the hard brake pedal, that’s a great idea. Exactly what I’d do.
