April 2016
Replaced Transfer Case Seal
Apr/29/2016 Filed in: Phase III
Replaced the transfer case rear output seal. It was leaking, probably due to sitting in the garage for 4 years and drying out. It would have been so much easier when the drive train was out!
New Douglas Connection
Apr/27/2016 Filed in: Phase III
Some of the headlight wires and Douglas connections had to be replaced, the originals were old and cracked.
Engine Up and Running!
Apr/20/2016 Filed in: Phase III
The engine came back to life! This was a big milestone for our project. It had a little trouble starting, some fresh coil and spark plug wires, along with some cranking to care of it.

We completed a number of tasks including installation of the the Slave Cable Plug Connector, the Hand Brake assembly and the Choke and Throttle Cable hook-up.
Installed the Rebuilt Fuel Pump
Apr/16/2016 Filed in: Phase III
We installed the rebuilt fuel pump. We bought a correct “working” military fuel pump from eBay, but decided to rebuild it—just in case. When we bought the jeep it came with a “Bubba” electric fuel pump setup probably from a CJ.
E-Brake Prep and Gear Oil Change
Apr/09/2016 Filed in: Phase III
Started prepping the e-brake assembly and finished changing the gear oil in the transfer case and transmission. It was in pretty bad condition. Water gushed out ahead of the oil. It must have been a long time between oil changes.
Changed Differntial Oil
Apr/03/2016 Filed in: Phase III
We changed the differential oil front and back. The oil must have been in there a long time because it was pitch black and sludgy. Defiantly time for a change.
