My vote is for thornbirds too.
Thanks man, really appreciate it! And yes, we definitely need to go wheeling, it's been a long time!Jake, honestly I'm looking at building this Jeep along the same lines as yours. I've always been impressed with your fab work (ie. your Christ-like front bumper), and how your Jeep is set up. I may or may not have a few of your write-ups bookmarked...
Soon as this things trail worthy you, Jeff, and I need to do some wheeling. :cheers:

Now I just need to get some new bigger/better cables made.
I didnt' even think of replacing the idler. With the belt off though I did check the pulleys for slop, and didn't notice anything alarming. I do carry a spare idler and serpentine belt in the trail bag though.Awsome write up Dustin, I love it!
A couple of notes:
1. On the early models you should replace the idler pulley at the same time as the belt (not sure if this is recommended on the late models?) I always carried a spare belt and idler pulley and know that two people needed them from me on the trail because they replaced the belt without the idler and shortly after it took them both out.
2. My local battery cable shop (Pacific Power Batteries) are wonderful for making up any cables I needed. I think I paid less than 1/2 of what people sell the after market kits for and they were much nicer than the kits I have seen and local.

I figured I'd need a CB sooner or later, so I ordered up a Uniden 520XL. I kept my Firestik antenna, mount, and coax to reuse on the new Jeep.
Got the antenna mounted up.

CB mounted. Wires were fished under the carpet. The extra cable is the axillary cable for the stereo.

Only thing left to do is get the antenna tuned.
