still couldn't figure it out. i grounded the starter to itself and it didn't spine still. beat on it with a hammer and then tried to start it again and nothing. re-installed everything and next weekend it's going up to my old high school where my brother is going to get my electrical system actually working again. so it'll be up there until june time frame so i'll have an empty garage and now he will have the headache of electrical systems ;D

all put back together ready for its trip up to the school

been awhile since i posted up. the teacher up at the school has remounted the cross member and roll bar. i just bought a drivers side seat bracket and stock shackles with new bushings to install when it gets back. they're just rigging me up some tail lights and i'll be driving it home when that's done. when it gets back im going to replace all the brake components and do a full tune up. then start looking into what i wanna do to paint it.

got the jeep back and it was running fine. drove it in the rain and it got pissed off and wont start as of right now. going to tinker with it this coming weekend. probably have a short somewhere because i've already checked my distributor and it's dry. in other news though i just bought:
daystar 1"body mount replacements (replacement body mounts that are just 1" taller)
rusty's HD drag link
rusty's HD tie rod
4 new drums
4 new wheel cylinders
shoes all around
adjusting screws all around
and hardware kits all around
figure the jeep is going to sit nearly stock until i buy a house to do the work on it at so i might as well replace my drum brakes. the body mounts were shot and i found the daystar kit on sale and the rusty's steering was cheaper than oem parts ($110 each to the door)

got the day star kit, got the rusty's HD steering kit but i ordered the wide track ones on accident so.... i found on GL4X4 a set of wide track cj axles for $200. they have the 1 piece conversion for the amc20 and upgraded warn hubs on the front axle. i returned the front set of brakes and will be buying new pads and rotors for this set. i also found somebody who has a 10k sq ft shop with a hoist that im going to help him move some stuff in exchange for using his hoist. so in a month when i get out of school im going to do all this work.
