My '46 CJ2A 76336

Nice!

Well finally most of the ordered parts arrived and I could get working on the brakes.

To answer your question I have not bought from Just Jeeps but I have bought parts for my CJ2A from Willys Acres in Ontario. Sonja was great to deal with. Prices were pretty good and shipping was quick and cheap. I would shop there again.

I purchased my cowl seal from KW's also and installed it on my '48 in July of last year. At that time in AZ it gets pretty hot, like 100 degrees, and the seal was pretty pliable. It fit perfectly around the curve of the hood. What's the temp like over there? Maybe you can warm it up a bit before installing?

David, It's been unseasonably warm over the past week, but nowhere near AZ temps.  I may just remove and re-install next summer when it's hotter.

Squeezed the Jeep into my garage, it's a bit tight with a '69 Cadillac already in there.  It's nice having a concrete floor under it things are much easier to do.

That’s a major job to replace the ring gear. All our old ring gears look like that from the spinning drive hitting the leading edge for years. If your running a 12v battery on a 6v starter, it’s especially prone to damage. Check the ring gear wear surface and you can see the drive contact surface. As long as you have no missing or broken teeth (turn the engine by hand and check the entire circumference) you can wait until you need to pull the engine/trans to replace, along with ALL wearing parts within the bellhousing. Check the starter drive gear. If bad it’s more easily replaced.

Dropped the cross member, talk about EW!
