Good luck!
Bushings are good, I think when I was messing with it it was just a little bound up because it was sitting on the ground and there wasn't any movement. Now that it moves around I'll mess with it more.

The linkage got flipped around somehow, but everything transfercase is working smoothly again. Filled the washer fluid to get that light off the dash, put the rear seat in, front driveshaft in, fixed the speedo and got it up to 60 without any incident. Need to get the oil pressure sender and the coolant temp sender for the gauges and a couple little things and it'll be turn key ready to go.

Got the NSS cleaned so it starts with the key everytime now (well the few times I tried it), got the coolant temp sensor in and the oil pressure sensor in the Jeep and working. Thinking about driving it to work tomorrow to see if I can get the AC charged, but not sure if I should just suck it up and buy a whole new ac kit for a later model with 134a like I did with my Comanche. I'm really getting tight on cash between all the projects I have going.

Put a WJ booster and master on it, but I didn't get to bleeding it and such so I'll probably get to that Sunday and see how it goes

Well long time no see. Got it running, driving, stopping. Had a guy contact me saying his nephew had a Jeep just like it and that his had been totaled by someone driving without insurance and he made me an offer on it. I decided it was for a good cause and I'd let it go. That guy posted it for sale a week later after taking the stickers off and cleaning it up for $1000 more than he paid, and now I just found it posted again by someone else who has posted it for even more.

Unfortunately, the sad truth...

How much were you able to get out of it at least @SatiricalHen ? Were you able to turn a profit after the work you put back into it?

I made a little more than I spent in parts on it, but I enjoyed saving another Jeep and keeping it on the road. Had fun with some friends tearing it down and putting it back together.

That is great to hear! I am happy you were able to get something out of it, and give it another life. That was all I had hoped for it.
