Hi yall. Been making a living working on vehicles since I was 14 in my Dad's service station. Still twisting wrenches at 60.
Bought my first Jeep in 1973, a M38 Willys military surplus. Loved my Jeeps ever since, though I've not owned one in several years. Remedied that with an 02 Liberty 3.7 Auto 4X4 a couple months ago.
In my "know what's wrong when I hear it" arrogance I assumed the cheap Liberty with a rattle was simply timing gear,,,,,,,,,,WRONG! New crate engine (and nearly 4 grand) later I now have a project Jeep.
Having done lifts (some good, others,,,,,kinda), exhaust bending and all manner of fabricating over the years I plan lots of experiments. Bumpers, rack, rock slides, et al.
Here to pick yall's brains, and maybe offer a bit of general auto experience along the way.
