[@motorv8N]

Cool beast with some nice mods. Good luck finding a deserving home.

[@Rubber_N_Smoke]

Thanks! 👍

[@randycarroll7566]

Is it sold yet?

[@bruceklassen8261]

Nice rig

[@charlesross1682]

None had hyd. Clutch?

[@Rubber_N_Smoke]

They would have come stock with a mechanical linkage for the clutch, but I put a SM465 transmission so I went with hydraulic clutch.

[@brianagena912]

Why is it idling so high?

[@Rubber_N_Smoke]

It needs a stronger throttle return spring, I’m hoping to replace that today or tomorrow to fix the idle

[@jaredf3699]

I think you just need to hook up the electric choke and vacuum advance. Really cool flat fender jeep!

[@gordocarbo]

@@Rubber_N_Smoke Put a dual return spring just in case
Great platform...heat shield under the carb and fan shroud Id add to the "to do" list

[@gordocarbo]

@@jaredf3699 Agree...hes missing out on it running better and certainly starting in colder weather
If thats a GM crate I think those may get locked out not sure.

[@harisranf5604]

T90 transmission ?

[@Rubber_N_Smoke]

SM465

[@Mudsuitable]

The starter sounds like it needs to be shimmed, definitely going to damage the flywheel or starter gear.. pretty cool Jeep though.

[@gordocarbo]

Agree!
