Scored a Cummins 4 BT CPL 1839 P-Pump Engine
What did you do to your TJ today?
- Thread starter LJRubiconGuy
- Start date
Introduced it to this 63 Willys that was in our store parking lot.
Both axles are Dana 44’s, and both front and REAR axles have locking hubs
. I asked the owner about them snd he said he unlocks them when he tows it. Great idea.

Was changing my starter today when I looked up saw this. No idea how long it’s been like that. Anybody know if it’s fixable or do I need a new upper control arm?
Finished painting the frame, got it back down on all the new body mounts and savvy BL and torqued.
Finished assembling the front axle. Checked clearances. Had a lot of interference between steering stab and tie rod. Some different bolts and positioning of the axle took care of that. Front end finally back on its tires.
Now I'ma smoke a cigar and head out to see Oppenheimer at the Alamo Drafthouse

You need to go to an imax or similar to see the PLF version
Wish we had a 70mm IMAX around here. I've never been to the Alamo but always wanted to try it out so this seems like a good time. Maybe I should be going to the IMAX, but supposed to be a pretty good laser projector at the Alamo. I dunno. You can really get into the weeds trying to figure out who actually has what and sifting through their acronyms and exceptions... and I just couldn't be bothered lol.
I suppose it won't be the full ratio
Eagan has the EMX screen which shows the PLF version. $7 on Tuesdays. They sell alcohol and have axe throwing.
USA! Let's fucking go Ladies!
Better watch out a middle school boys team might show up and kick their ass
More acronyms!
Working for the gov drives me crazy sometimes. EVERYTHING must be an acronym or initialism. There are only 17,576 different 3-letter combos, surely they'll run out soon.
I'll check them out though. The Lakeville Emagine is right by my house. Nice powered recliners, bar, food, big ass screen. Cheap on Tuesdays I think. That's usually my go-to out of sheer convenience.

Yep, same setup. Lakeville was my main theater when I lived in Elko New Market but when I had to move to Eagan I switched.
Take it off and clean it up, I might be fixable. You need to inspect the threads inside the tube and also see if the johnny (heim) joint sheared off inside the tube.
The upper joint should be fixed at the axle. I dont understand how the tube could have rotated to unthread itself unless those are turnbuckle style threads on both ends.
Got this Bulletpoint device mount in the mail today. Feels pretty sturdy. Much better than setting my phone in the cup holder!
Beware. That is gateway to a roof top tent.
I like mine but I did buy a shorter arm.
My wife and I opted against a rooftop tent because at our age ladders at night and urgency don't mix. TT was next option along with Garmin Overlander and solar power.
Yep. Been there, done that, almost died getting out to pee one night....
Jeep put together and uncovered after 2 years. Been under paint drop clothes. Great to see him in his glory again!
Tomorrow he is started and drives!
Final to-do (tomorrow morning) before the first drive:
