More tinkering on the jeep yesterday. Andy Fortier came by with his pipe bender and we fabricated some supports for a soft top.
It breaks down in to 5 short manageable pieces. I’ll have to make some brackets to stow the pieces when the top is off.    |

The Harrison heater is ready to install.
 Also my daughter has made a template for the soft top out of an old bed sheet.   |

Soft top progress.
Just need to get out for a test drive and see if it needs any tweaks.   |

Also I recently installed a dual USB charger and made a mount for my cell phone from a dollar store selfie stick, threaded rod and a magnetic tool base.

The Rusty Coq got an upgrade this weekend. Recently I bought an overdrive. It’s from the 50’s. I believe it’s a Husky but it could be a Saturn or Warn. I’m told it was rebuilt a few years ago but never installed. Judging by the look of it, that appears to be true. I finally got it installed today. It’s like adding extra gears to the transmission. But the best part is the extra shift lever that goes with it. I decided to paint it red for fun, because with the overdrive engaged I can now reach freeway speeds. I had to make a new ring to hold the shifter boot down. I’m planning on using a leather glove to make the new boot.
Thanks to all the people on this sight who answered my questions about the overdrive installation over at the tech forum. Appreciated.    |

I had Lola convert a leather glove in to a shifter boot. I like it. I could not find a black glove to start with so I may have to dye this one.

It never ends.
Time to rebuild a Ramsey winch and make some modifications to install it.   |

I'm making great progress on the Ramsey winch install. All that's left is to fit the fairlead and paint.
 Next is to upgrade both axles. I have 1942 axles, Dana 23-2 in the front and Dana 25 in the rear. They have rzeppa joint which are weak and I can hear binding in turns. My friend Justin has donated a Dana 25 for the front that I will put spicer axles in and a Dana44 axle for the rear. I have got them broken down and ready for sandblasting. I need to order new bearings, seals and shims then once painted I can reassemble them. I'm looking for a locker to put up from but holy cow they are pretty expensive these days!    |

The Ramsey winch is in.
I love it. It has one tiny tiny leak where the electric motor mated to the gearbox so I have another new seal ordered. We will see if that helps. I'm still working on the axles. Almost there.   |

Love the 'face' of your jeep, with the MB grill and super-clean winch/bumper setup. Well done.

Thanks,
I also have a Warn 8274 and a Belleview 6000 but they sit too high and block the grill. I chose the Ramsey because it sits lower and does not hide the grill. It's too pretty to cover up.

I made and installed rock sliders this week.
They came out great. Super happy with them. I'm Moab ready now. Also the new brake master cylinder is installed and set up.    |
