A different project:
P.J. and Melissa's 1972 Suzuki LJ10
This Valentine's Day Melissa bought P.J. this fun little Suzuki LJ10.  It is a 1972, and has a two cylinder two stroke motor.  With help from John we were able to get it running and took it home from the high school in the back of P.J.'s truck.  Now it will be an ongoing project for us, and eventually will become a neat little Rhino / Ranger substitute with license plates.  Check back for more pictures as the project progresses.
3/1/08: Here you can see that we got John's old Beard seats installed.  I had to fabricate some simple mounts, but the seats fit quite nicely and there's still room for the roll cage.
2/24/08: Here I am unloading the LJ from the truck, which was made slightly trickier by the fact it didn't have working brakes.  After a little time adding an ignition switch, checking fluids, and bleeding the brakes it made a short trip around our front yard.  Check out the video on You Tube by clicking here.  It seemed to smoke just a bit, huh?  Welll it tended to flood out too.  After working on the carburator, I got it to run much nicer, as shown in the video here.
...and there's definitely lots more to come.  Check back for updates.
3/7/08: Here are some trailer lights we found at AutoZone that can mount in front of the stock holes so they end up nice and recessed in the body.  All four rear lights, both side turn signals, and both front turn signals are in and working with the running lights and turn signals.
3/15/08: This weekend's project was replacing the stock master cylinder with one from a Samurai. The old one was single circuit, and was leaking from every possible place.  With the samurai one, the front and rear brakes will be separate, which required adding a brake line from the master cylinder to the junction block where the rear brakes used to split off. The brake ligt switch was also relocated to this junction block to fill the extra hole.
These are actually the tires for our dually, but the LJ can dream about how they'd look with a few inches of lift...
4/6/08:  This Sunday we took the LJ up to Phelan.  We all got to drive it around at John and Anna's, and it did great.  I even put the LJ to work moving our old pontoon boat around. What a fun little jeep.
