uuuuunnnngggghhh. Rebuild virus is spreadingggg. Anyone here know how I can reduce my hours at work to play with my Jeeps & get paid more in order to fix whats f**ked too?
"Man Whoring"- a not unlovely concept......
Seriously, looking good. I am soaking up as much info as i can prior to launching into my own pit of woes in the shed as well. Thanks for the motivation.

lucafer what is your rebuild????????

well got all the brake lines in tonight what an art not that neat but don't think anything will rub need to get front hoses made up have been waiting for longer spring hangers but !!!!! realised by going to 750 x 16 will be lifting about 3" anyway so std will do (for now) then fit brake cyclinders wont bleed straight away will do a bit more else where
body has come to a stand still work interfering but will have a go this week after fixing AGAIN a friends toyota and fixed a FORD in the weekend but one is my glass man and the other belongs to my steel supplier so not all that time wasted
am looking forward to the cj3 rebuild
till next time

Hey cj4a nz.
I have a sad looking non original 83 J20 in the shed. I tell you with out exaggeration it's a very fine line between a resto & a boat anchor. But Jambo gave me an idea of what can & should be done, so it's life has been spared for the interm & I'll probly be a lot healthier for the reduced time & $$$ spent at the local.
