I can’t find part 8 of your build? I threw a battery and some new fuel in my AMC CJ5 and she fired straight up after sitting outside for 15 years, you can’t keep a good Jeep down!!! Or all the oil in it either? 😂😂😂

@pdv76 Well, it seems that I can't count and named this vid part 9 without a part 8. No wonder I majored in history and not math.

Great job! My 43 GPW did not have that rubber part on the carb. You can probably just wrap some inner tube there with a hose clamp and it will last for many years. For the transmission boot, I got one made of fake leather that lasted for 20 years.

i'm in the middle of the Dauntless SM 465 swap in my '61 3b right now. I feel like I know some of you guys from the threads on the 2a page. Cheers bud! P.S. i've been wheeling Madeline for 4 years with a Vega motor and saginaw 4 spd. No original Jeeps have been harmed.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of those rubber products either. I just sewed up my own shifter pieces out of leather. I think I still have the patterns somewhere if you need them.

Grampa's Jeep IS ready to rock! Has a good stance now. You brought up a really sore subject with me, and that is the epidemic of nasty reproduction rubber parts that all of us with vintage vehicles are currently stuck with. The problem is exactly the same with my 1948-1958 series I Land Rovers. The transfer case shifter boot that I put on the Penalty box lasted two weeks before it fell apart, and the main transmission shift tower boot lasted a whole year wooo hooo!! I honestly feel that there is a market waiting for a company to specialize in making real, proper rubber reproduction shifter boots for all these old vehicles..... If they could offer them with a 5 year warranty against failure, there would be thousands of very happy customers around the world !!!

It really is discouraging. In Dave's restoration shop, we just took the 75 year old rubber between the cowel and the windshield and cleaned it up for reuse. It looks and feels better than anything you can buy new.

After a year, the repop transfercase boot I put on my 79 Ford was worse than the oem one I had pulled off. It's infuriating that oftentimes nowadays you're better off going to the wreckers and getting a half worn out factory part than getting a new part at the parts house.
