OK...I have wanted a CJ for most of my life...finally found one in my price range...read cheap....it will never be perfect in someone else's eye...but I am starting to fall in love....cue music...now the problem....I have been happily married to ol whats her name for 37 years now...I have only owned Beuhla for about a year and a half...and I have allready spent more on that jeep in that short time frame than on the lady who lives in my house, in all those years...so....my question....should I buy a new wiring harness for Beuhla...or install that dual master cylinder I have been looking at??? Thanks for your expertise...

I'd say "I don't know what you mean.", but I'd be lying through my teeth.

Wife dislikes jeep too....mostly cause it more resembles a pile of rusty parts than a jeep, but it's her fault. I remind her that if she only let me spend more $$$, I'd gotten one that didn't need so much work!  

I've heard that a boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money. Clearly said by someone who is not restoring a vintage jeep!

And yes.....keep only half the receipts where she can find them......

Randy, just rewire it yourself. It doesn't have to be a loom, The wiring diagram is easy to follow and you can tape the wires together or use nylon wire ties. It's cheaper and just as good, AND, any wire can be replaced with little trouble if needed.

I have a friend that likes guitars. Over the years he has collected over 50 guitars. At the beginning he would carry an empty guitar case out of the house that his "NEW" find would fit in. Later that evening he would come home from "playing guitar with his friends" with the old case and a new guitar. Later he would sneak the new case in. He got by with that for many years but she finally looked it the room he was hiding them in. It turned out she wasn't to mad about it because she knew he enjoyed them and they were still worth a lot of money.

Hmm...Maybe there is a market for a "jeep hiding case"........I guess you could use an enclosed trailer to do the same thing but how do you introduce a new enclosed trailer to the equation?   

SImpler to be single. Heck I have saved thousands on chocolate and flowers. 

Valentine's Roses from 1800FLOWERS.COM $89.50, Kaiser Willys order $176.00. I just hope her order came before mine. I can't wait for her birthday so I can buy her something nice, about a suspension overhaul kit in value....

I am lucky my wife has her daddy's 1960 Chey 3/4 ton stepside longbed we have about $12,000 in paint, new wood bed, tires etc.  But it was her daddy's that he bought new and he has since passed.  I sold my Honda 650 rincon and bought a 1946 CJ2A #72643 for $1500 with intentions of using as a farm jeep and rebuild it going forward. Every time I buy a part or due some swapping you would think I was pulling HER teeth.  If I was you 1. hide the receipts like someone else mentioned  or 2. Do all the grocery shopping and always write the check for $20-$30 over and put it in your Willys fund(she taught me that trick).  But if your wiring is holding up I would go for the duel MC safety is important in these rigs.  good luck

DESTROY ALL RECEIPTS AFTER PART IS BOLTED AND TESTED

Calvin, I am sure my beautiful bride will enjoy riding in my mistress as much as your wife enjoys yours...I like the color of your Jeep...it kinda matches mine except mine is 40% yeller and 40% rust.....the missing 20%...... is missing....As for the master cylinder changeover...I am thinking that set up that Herm offers....I think I am going for the harness from Walkes, just mainly for the ease and being able too install a little quicker...Thanks for all the advice guys....appreciate it....
