Well, this thing is proving to be more and more of a mutt, which is cool.  I was going to call it a CJ2.82634A because it's going to have a blend of 2A and 3A parts (mostly 3A, which is why I was weighting its numerical designation closer to 3), but I'm not sure what calculation to use now that it may have some CJ3B or 5 parts in it, as well.  Roll Eyes

I'll jack up the back and rotate the tires to see if it's closer to 2:79 revolutions per or 3.34 per.  That at least will help me diagnose if it's a T90A or C.  (I'm betting it's a T90A.)

Just about done!  From that original pile of parts under my kids' swing set I've got a running rig that is an absolute joy to tool around in.  (Now I've just got to fix the leaks and get the brakes to work better.)







Thanks for all the help, guys!

I knew it was going to be ridiculously pic heavy (and not updated as frequently as I would have liked), so I did it in a blog site.
