Sold her 😔

Albuquerque, NM 1977 CJ-7 in very nice condition. It has a rebuilt 6 cyl. Just had all the wiring replaced with a new harness, I also recently installed a new starter motor, had the carburator rebuilt, and installed a new radiator. I replaced the old hard top with a "Best Top" soft top and...

Great, thanks for the help.

So there is my misunderstanding. Diff fluid is just gear oil. I thought they were two different things.

Alright, please don't make fun of me for this, but I have a really dumb question. So, I have a rear axle seal leak (AMC20). From what I have read, the inner seals will need replaced. Straight forward job that I'm sure I can do. The stupid question though is, if the seals are holding in oil...

Installed a new radiator. Even with the trip to Autozone for a new hose, it took less than an hour. Parts: Rad, $200. Hose, $10.00. Time, 45 min +-. So while my CJ was in the shop getting a rebuilt carburetor, the mechanics were "nice" enough to quote me a price for a new radiator. Someone...

EZ kit runs through the fire wall as a bundle of wires. I'll need to add some type of sleeve/rubber gromit or else the thin metal will slice away at the plastic coating on the wires. The connectors for the dash indicator lights won't be a problem. I was just pointing out that there are none...

So to answer some of the questions. 1. Yes the EZ harness wires are mostly bare copper. With a few exceptions but there is a huge need for the male / female metal connectors along with the plastic connections to keep everything grouped. I don't think it's worth an extra $200 if the painless come...

I and thanks for the compliment on the shifter. It was my first addition to the jeep. Sorta made it mine.

So one thing I have found is that all the nice plastic wire connectors don't come with the EZ kit. EZ simply has bare wire ends. I've taken all the ones off the old wires that I could salvage. The big deal about this is 1. Connecting all the dash indicators would be a pain without them 2...

Now that would be interesting pressure to work with. Needing to drive it the next day. I have a daily driver vehicle, so no worries there. Everything I have done on my jeep, big or small, has given me a sense of accomplishment. I'm having fun with this also. And I am learning all kinds of new...

So I went from a rats nest, to no wires. I'm at the point of no return, hope i can put it back together and get it running. #nervous.

Alright, this weekend I'm ripping out the rats best of wires on my 77 CJ7 and installing an EZ kit. Hopefully it really is "EZ". Any suggestions from those who have ventured down this road?

I like the look of that.

USMC 1998-present. PVT-Capt. Good to see some more Marines on here.

If you decide to change out the motor, you can remove it and hook it directly to the battery. This will verify if the motor has gone bad.

Shorted out all my dash lights installing an aux power adapter.
