Tom and Tim,

Yes after I got the new parts installed I even felt better. And I did exactly what you said, I put the old one in the spare parts just in case someone on the trail needs a quick fix.

See you guys soon........... :)

Ace Hardware fills a niche, but I realize going in that I will be paying a premium for their choice to carry an extensive inventory.  I purchased the clevis pieces from a vendor on eBay.  Half the price, but I had to wait for them.

Glad you built the upgrade.  It does give you piece of mind.  Especially if you've broken one while away from home.  I carry the original style in my parts kit...just in case one of my friends needs it. [smiley=s4224.gif]

George, I felt the same about the cost but am sure glad I made the improvement.  Throw the old one in your parts kit for the next guy that breaks one on the trail.

Did the upgrade to the clutch rod today (see Lkaps thread). Really going to make me feel better on the trails. The price for yokes has gone up a little. I got them at ACE Hardware for 9.98 ea. I thought that was highway robbery but HD and Lowes did not have them. No big deal as they are just like Tims!
Thanks Tim for the pictures.

Hope to see you soon!

Tim,

Definitely a heater! I think Lynn will be much happier with more warmth in the mornings. And if she's happy - I'm happy!

Good to hear from you........see you soon....

Nice!

This leads me to the next obvious question.  But perhaps a question that should be answered after a cold and rainy FCT.

Given the choice, would you prefer a heater...or a glove box? ;)

Update to my build. I decided to install my Harrison heater that I restored. It replaced my older and smaller Harrison that was about 1/2 the size. This should keep the wife's feet warm on those cool September mornings in Colorado!

Now I just need to complete the installation with the Willys sticker, and then again I may just leave it like it is.

Tumbleweed.......

Nice clean job on the wipers. The hose line between the two wipers are the clamps holding it just screwed on or bolted on thru the windshield?


Birddog7 - sorry for the late answer - yes the SS clamps are bolted thru the windshield that hold the vent in place. I didn't want to drill any new holes so I used the existing 2 holes.

Awesome!  Sounds like you may get to use it.

The way people are talking, it may be a bit chilly at the FCT this year.   I don't know.  We have been met with heavy dust and severe sun burns the last 4 years.  I'm hoping it won't be too cold, but the law of averages are bound to catch up eventually.
