    Took the chero out for a test run after the SOA and got hung up on this speed bump at a local 4x4 shop.


    The old chero did great with a 787 score and for the effort won it's class and a new set of Rancho shocks.Now to get some 33's under it.

      Made a lawn ornament out of the Honcho again until more money comes in.
      Scrubbed the heck out of the J20 to turn it into a red truck again. Wow what a difference, guess it has been a couple of years since its last bath.
      Took it out for a short cruise to show it off of course, then brought it back home and fired it up for the neighbors. Those Dunlop MT's sound wicked screaming and smoking.

      1980 J20 Utility bed truck. Factory cab and chassis truck. Many new mods for it but it will look all stock.
      1985 J10 nothing special just a nice clean stock truck.
      1977 Honcho "Blue" 401/400/quad. Under going major upgrades.."This is Not Your Fathers Honcho", it may not even be a Honcho anymore when done.
      2017 Challenger. Very jealous of the Jeeps.

          I got my motor running in the '84 and got it out of the shop, so we pulled baby_hewy's truck in and pulled his motor apart. I think we found his problem.

                This weekend I fixed the power steering leak (replaced the high hose) and narrowed down the exhaust manifold leak... (Think I'll pay a shop to fix that!! )
                Anybody make a set of headders for a Kaiser 327?

                  Got my '72 J4000 running yesterday with a new flexplate from rockauto. Dropped the 360 out of my '74 CJ5 into it for now 'til I get that all redone.

                  ALso stole the wheels and tires off the CJ, 35/15/15 Swampers.

                  Kid got carried away with the rattle can when I had my back turned so it got a racing stripe and a new nickname(the red sled).

                  Gonna take it to the woods tommorow and cause some pain.

                    Finished the plumbing on my new Aerotech fuel tank and looked at the body lift. Gotta figure out whats making the cab sit cockeyed before I can tighten it down. Really looking forward to changing out the ball joints and brake rotors on the front next.

                      and went over the whole truck with real fine grit steel wool to get the pait to look halfway decent

                        So, now I have rebuilt the carb, cleaned up the engine some, replaced a belt, and am still needing to fix the exhaust leak. I started the paint this weekend by sanding and shooting the tan for the roof. (it was too hot outside to do much more than that)

                        She runs great, even did a death run test in stop and go traffic on I-5 through downtown Seattle in 90+ weather. She ran well, and took the heat without an issue.

                        Now the Kaiser is finally parked at my house so I can work on it whenever I like, instead of an hour away at my girlfriend's place.

                          Finished the front axle. New seals and bearings. Took it to a local Threshing show and got into the parade. Their was a long incline that worked out great. In 4WD low and first gear, I was abel to let it idle up hill. With all the other tractors thumpin and being the first vehicle behind the steam traction engines, you could'nt hear in running. A lot of thumbs up and suprised looks on peoples faces after the anouncers let them know it is a 1963. At the auto shows I hear "Nice Jeep". At the threshing shows I hear so many Jeep stories, it's a very fun time. This years best stories came from a guy that worked for Kaiser Jeep during the 1960's as a sales rep for the upper midwest states.
