Mr. Green's Surgery

They are pretty inexpensive at HF

Much better than my old-fashioned protractor and level! Plus, HF loves me. I have my 20% coupon in the truck now. Thanks!

That bushing/ cam does 2 things it gives small camber and caster adjustments, mainly camber since on a leafsprung truck the caster would be set with wedges under the spring. Either way it isn't a big thing to pop it out and turn it later if camber is of

Cool. I guess I will need to research how to properly set the camber. The fun never ends. I spend more time reading about building my Jeep than actually doing it so far. I'm sure that will change soon.

FINALLY! Between work and IDTT I haven't had a chance to work on Mr. Green in a couple of weeks. I got some time tonight. The Happy Little Brown Truck brought me some gifts as well, good timing:


I pulled the Master cylinder (so I can switch to hydro-boost), and took the goodies off of the fender wells. I labeled all the connections and tubes so that I can figure it out later, and took some pics to jog my memory if needed.

Then I pulled my tube fenders. Damn there are a lot of bolts for these!:


Not bad for an evening after work IMO. I'll look it up eventually, but does anyone know what the box behind the passenger fender well is? It only has one vacuum tube leading to it. It looks like this:

It's part of the one way system that sucks $$$ out of your wallet.

Nope it's a vacuum reservoir for the heater controls so it doesn't go to defrost going uphil at WOT

It produces torque, better not leave it out.

Ha! Since I plan to run 40's when done, you're damn skippy that I won't leave it out!

Cool, So if that is the case, I don't think it matters if it gets relocated. Thanks!

It's the blinker fluid reservoir. Be sure to upgrade to synthetic.

So where's the fill cap for that?

It's a jeep, you'll have to drill a hole in there yourself.

Ain't that the truth! I've had to hone two of the four new bearings for the the 14 bolt hubs to get them to fit over the spindle properly. So the Jeep thing must be infectious.

That's really strange you had to do that. I never have had to.

aren't you done yet? What is taking you so long?
