What did you do TO your Gladiator today? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO GUN TALK]

[Narth]

Thanks. First fence, so lots of imperfect stuff, but very happy with it.

Looks really good to me!

Yeah, I laughed when I saw what they were doing. You'll find the fenced done with H posts, or angled braces, depending on the landscape and the person and so on.

My jack, which they used to call "handiman jacks" but Jeep people renamed them to hi-lift and charge 3 times as much for them than at farm stores - also acts as a fence stretcher. Imagine holding one of those things up to stretch fence wire! WOW. I also have a fence wire stretcher somewhere, much lighter and easier to use. The precursor to the come-along.

As you stand and look at a fence between farm fields, ranches, whatever - the right half is your responsibility if anything happens to it. So fences were put up by two people - each handling the right hand half of the fence as they looked at it from their own property.

Didn’t know that. Cool. I’ve been using the tiny tractor and the winch to tension. Working great. I did know that hi lift used to be farm jack. But I’d hate to use one for that. Damn.

You’re too kind. Zoom in and adjust your opinion.

FarmAll and HiLift are actually band names for the same handyman's jack. I don't think FarmAll has been around for a long time.

the amc ignition question is fresh on my mind. I want my upcoming amc build to be fuel injected, but I don’t see any value in electronic ignition. But yes, it’s on a charger all the time, as is the JT.

Dropping a custom curved DUI HEI ignition in my old AMC360 was one of the best things I did to it.
That and block planing the oil pump assembly.
Well, swapping to Howell FI was pretty good also.

But if I was to do it again, I'd probably just get the all in one Edelbrock FI intake with ignition. I think it's the ProFlo.

When I had my CJ,s, I swapped in a Ford Hei Distributer cap, rotor, and 8mm wires.
I got tap key starts and the smoothest idle I ever had in any of my CJ,s.

That’s my plan. They make a set of performer aluminum heads and intske manifold that match up either their cam snd fuel injection. From what I’ve been told I’ll easily get into the 500hp ballpark without doing anything crazy.

I didn’t have fuel injection in my cj7, but it idled beautifully. Edelbrock 4 barrel, 8mm wires, parts store distributor, and headers. It was a 304 built to push around 325hp. I miss that engine.

The one I have was very very old when I bought it about 1980.

Farmall was a registered trademark of IH - it was a model and then later became a brand under IH.

This is an original with the attachments for fencing and so on. jackall was the original company, Canada, I believe.

Finished mounting case and Starlink mini to the roof rack. Reorganized bins and prepped for next weekend to explore caves.

Do you do house calls?

I had a CJ in Florida that I always used a cab cover on. I found a super large raccoon in it when I went to take it somewhere. That was not the surprise I wanted. Nor the pile of crap it left in the passenger footwell.

I've seen all sorts of animals while in the woods in my lifetime. But every time I come across a trash panda, either in the woods or at home, I always let out an unintentional Shirley shout and arm flail. Them sumbitches are Ninja-quiet and you don't see them until they're right there. One time while camping, I was sitting by the fire sipping a beer. I glance to my right and there are 2 of 'em raiding my cooler in absolute silence. Maybe 10 feet from me. Again, I did my Shirley shout and arm flail. They jerked, but then looked at me as if saying, "Hey, whassup ?". I threw my beer can at them, they flinched then gave me a look that said, "Lemme guess, you didn't play sports in school ? You suck at throwing.". I had to stand up and do that "AAAHHHH" thing to make them leave.

With my bag of powdered donuts. That was for my coffee in the morning.

Bastids.

HA!!!! Had this happen to me out in AZ. Whenever I take canned food out for meals I usually burn the leftover gunk out of the cans instead of using water to rinse them. (Yes I take the can with me the next morning) Anyway I was sitting there smoking a pipe of Carter Hall enjoying the campfire and the sound of the lake when these 2 bandits slid into camp and tried to take the dang can out of the fire!! I didn’t even yell at em. I figured if they got it without getting burnt they deserved it.
