    Car shutting off - In a previous comment I suggested this would happen. I would remove the gas tank and do two things. 1. Drian it and look inside. If there is sediment, rinse it with gas until clear. If there is rust replace it or this will continue to happen which could be dangerous. Again..., ask me how I know? Love the vids, and promise that I am not trying to come off as a jerk. Just an old man appreciating what you are doing as a young couple and want you to be safe. With a lift (like you have) removing the tank is easy and will be worth the trouble. Haste makes waste - be safe!

    I just subscribed to your channel because I just pulled a 1984 CJ-7 Laredo out of a grass field. Hard top with factory AC and 66,000 miles on it. I got it from a friend. It was just setting in the grass for years. He decided it was time for it to go. I could turn the motor by hand. It's going to be my next fun project. It's also a Flintstone jeep that is covered up with wire mesh and carpet. Outside of the floorboards it's not too bad. I don't like the rust on the frame, but we will see how bad it is this fall when I start working on it. I haven't done anything to it yet. My knee replacement three months ago kind of slowed me down some. My 2006 Jeep Liberty is done and a great everyday driver. The 2014 Jeep JKUX is almost ready for camping. I'm only 65 years old so It's time to start another project. 😄

    Looks like a 70s Corvette master cyl. and maybe the kit supplied a GM spec. Master is why the fittings were reversed? I don't know for sure because haven't put my hands on one in many years. Waiting to see if you have outer rear axle seals leaking gear oil at some point.
