Hi. My name is Jerry. I live in Green Bay, WI USA. Recently I purchased
(after waiting for many years) my father-in-law's 47 CJ-2A. It is in very
good condition. The engine was rebuilt about 500 miles ago. I put in a new
battery and it now starts on the second try every time. The body is in so-so
condition. The frame is solid, but the tub is starting some rust-through.
Unlike most early CJ's, this one is mostly stock and unmodified. The only
non-original parts I know of are the roll bar and the welded shut tail gate.
The outside body is very scratched up from work and off-roading. I plan to
keep my CJ as unmodified as possible. I'm going to restore it to good
working condition, but not to show quality. I plan to keep it a work, off
roading, and running to town vehicle. The first thing I'm going to do is
tighten the VERY loose steering. Any advice on what is the best way to do
that? I haven't really examined the problem yet (I've only had it since
Sunday) so I don't really know where the play is coming from. Is there
something I should look at first? I really would appreciate the help! I'm
sure that as I keep making improvements to it I will be asking many
questions.
Jerry
