A Frame Off Restoration

April 2019

Prep for Season 2019

Prep Season-2019
It's time to bring the Jeep out of its winter hibernation. I reinstalled the seats after being stored in a warm dry space for the winter. I also put a little Marvel Mystery Oil in each cylinder to lub those dry cylinder walls. It's up on blocks to check for leaks, and check the torque a few bolts. The battery has been on a trickle charge all winter.
