I'd forgotten how smooth it rides and the easy clutch and steering. Very nice. Here's where it was all winter. [IMG] http://i1034.photobucket.com/albums/a424/rogwayne/jeeps/P1000577.jpg[/IMG]

Had to crank for a little while to push the gas up to the carb, but after about 20-25 seconds it kicked off. Ran so smooth! ;>) I got 2 new 7.00-15 Power King bias highway tires for the front to mount, and some other work before I hit the road... there's always something.

Before starting them up, remove the coil lead and crank them over a good few times.
Then replace the coil wire and go for it.
Remember.... 80% of engine wear is from cold,never mind a 'dry' engine.
Obviously the oil will have settled after sitting over a long period of time.

do you still have the enclosed drive train in it. Has open drive shaft. Too many vehicles (four), somethimg has to go. But for the past several days, this has been my daily driver and this is getting tougher.
