    8T6K5's CJ7 build......

    Well its not the Evil Crew Cab I was going to purchase, the GOV shutdown at the time made me re-evaluate the necessity of that beautifull monster. I ended up with a much smaller and in all honesty, practical vehicle....a 76' CJ-7. Basic stats on the CJ are as follows…. first year CJ7, just...

    87' to 77' front clip swap....

    I know the 88'-91' front clips are popular to swap onto the older squares, but Im thinking Id like to go back in time if I get another. ...is this a fairly easy swap to do and what all would need to be replaced? ...fenders, hood, core support, bumper, lights are what immediately come to mind.

    Anybody who's been around here for the past year should know how much time0work I have put into my K5. Today as I was going to change the EGR valve I found this: Not what I wanted to see, not right now at least.

    First stereo build...

    After thinking about doing an 8 lug swap next I realized that I need to spend more time driving this pig then wrenching on it. Decided that I would be better off putting a stereo back in it.....after I tore out - parted out the one that the PO installed. Not looking for anything too fancy...

    In-line fuel pressure gauge w/SS lines...

    In-line fuel pressure gauge install: I could've put it on the fuel rail but it was an after thought so I did it in-line up near the fuel rail connection. This install is with Fargolo -6AN SS PTFE lines, but is the same premise for all SS lines. Since I had to splice into the...

    Air flow suggestions:

    As you can see below, there's a bit of an air flow issue. The shroud is pretty much butted up to the end of the filter. The bottom half of the shrould did not allow much, if any, air in either. On the left you can see than the rad hose wasnt helping and the fuel lines were just in the way...
