I'm a troll posting Non Tundra things

More non Toyota nonsense. This thing is sweet

 

Friendly reminder that these dudes will be coming out soon and to be nice to em and give em their space. Without them our entire ecosystem would collapse.

 

I wish I had this guy's ambition. I've wasted my life lol

 

Ahh heck, it's too damn cold to go outside, and I'm bored, so I'll show off my pride and joy Non-Gen 3.

She's a 1981 Jeep CJ7 that my father owned from new. I restored it back in 2011-12 in my garage. Mods include an AMC 360 V8 in lieu of the factory I6. T-19 4-speed manual in lieu of the factory SR4 trans. Old Man Emu 2.5" lift springs and shocks. Warn 8274 winch. Dual batteries with isolator. Complete body and frame restoration.

It won't win any car show awards, but I was pleased with how it turned out, especially for my first attempt at auto restoration.


My makeshift spray booth in my garage.


The AMC 360 I affectionately named the Greasy Pig, before and after.


Completely rebuilt T19 transmission.


The Greasy Pig in place.


Restored period correct Warn 8274 winch..


Dual batteries with isolator.








All back together.

Thanks for letting me share.

 

That looks like fun

 

Nice CJ!

Love the OME suspension on our CJ. We used YJ OME springs with the conversion kit paired with Bilstein 5100s. Much improved.

 

I'm not a Jeep expert or anything, but I can say I'm very jealous of your entire experience. That looked like a lot of fun with a ton of learning!

When I'm done with this military thing, I'm going to restomod something in my garage.

 

Was just mentioning this to someone at work about salt in coffee. Yumm

 

Seriously? I might have to give it a try. I hope I'm not being fooled, I hate bitter coffee

 

I put a pinch of salt in my coffee grounds every day. I definitely notice a difference in the bitterness/taste. Only drink straight black coffee. I don’t drink/buy expensive coffee grounds though so YMMV.

 

Chocolate salt LMNT
Chocolate mint is good hot, too

 

Think it'd be good with cowboy coffee? I usually just boil up the ol instant Folgers.

 

This should definitely count as tundra stuff.

 

Grandma wanted me to cook some prepackaged nonsense fettuccine and I was like "not today grandma, today we feast"
Walmart has a decent deal on New York strip... Just a heads up

 

Not sure it would help with cowboy coffee but it may. I do a lot of cowboy coffee during elk bow season. Same grounds over and over every morning. Just add more water ha mainly drinking coffee grounds with water after a few days.

 

T18?

 

I enjoy my mushroom coffee. Just kidding, but I have been wanting to try that coffee.
Now there coffee style BBQ rub. Doesn't sound right!!!

 

A lil coffee in a sauce is heavenly on pork ribs.

 

Just learned that in a pinch my novelty wrench knife thing can indeed be used as 14mm box end wrench. Fuckin awesome!!!

 

T19. Basically it's the same as a T18 only with a synchronized 1st gear, so you don't have to be at a complete stop to shift into 1st, like you do with a T18.

 

Beautiful CJ! I love the roll cage, but it wouldn't work with my hardtop.

I learned to drive in my Father's 1972 CJ5, even took my drivers license test in it. The instructor said he'd never done a test in a CJ with a 3-speed manual. LOL

 

Are we talking about Leatherman multi tools?

 

A novelty smoke shop knife

 

That's a great looking machine! I'll bet the restoration was fun. The 360 V8 is a great upgrade.

I had a '76 with the Spicer T-18, I always assumed 1st gear was just bad haha. I would just stuff it into first while moving and listen to the gears crash together.

This is what I think of someone says "guns kill people"

 

Not to nit pick, but Borg Warner made the T18 transmissions, not Spicer.

The T18 is considered by many as the best transmission AMC ever put into Jeeps. They are almost indestructible, and guys love the crawler 1st gear for wheeling. The T-19 followed the T-18.

Here's all you ever wanted to know about the 2 transmissions.

That's funny. This is what I think of:

 

"That's 2 thus far, Shooter."

 

The engineer who designed this is the guy who has been designing jeeps for the last few decades…

 

When I am working on my Jeep, I always have a good supply of these special bolts:
