Good idea. What size tires are you thinking about?
From what I have read of the kit that is supposedly going in (2 ins), my max height is maybe a 32”.
I will be glad to get to that point. Before Christmas, I scored some NOS Cragar Jeep steel wheels that are sitting in the basement taking up what little room I have.
The latest parts arrivals are a new turn signal switch, a pair of electrical wiper motors, and a dimmer switch. It has vacuum wipers that don’t work.
I am going to have to run wire for park lights, turn signals, and brake lights. At least there isn’t much under a Willys and straight-wiring shouldn’t be to arduous.
I’ve learned a pricey lesson regarding aftermarket taillights that are supposed to be an exact working copy. Externally they are.
The LED ones I bought from the parts people who specialize have three wires. One is a ground, one is for park and the other is for turn signal or brake. Can’t have both. It can’t differentiate either. They will go on Ebay since they are opened. Someone will probably get a bargain.
My wiring in the rear is frail and a rework anyway so I am stringing fresh wire.
I am going with later model 76 or above ones to get functionality. Too many stupid people in my area who don’t pay attention to anything plus local cop shop a few blocks away and I don’t want any hassles.
I’ve stripped the dead vacuum wiper motors and saw how much modification will be needed to make the electrical replacements work. The shaft is about 2.5 inches long and shimming out would look stupid.
Cutting is no problem but the end is a square for the wiper arm to clamp down on. I will go see a machinist friend downstairs at the shop tomorrow to see what he can do.
Eventually a lot of stuff will come back off when major paint and body happen which might be next year at the rate things are going.
Anyway the Willys is dead again. For whatever reason yesterday it isn’t sucking fuel. The carb and fuel pump are new and less than a year old. Dump some gas down the 1 barrel it will run and stumble a bit.
