Great info and advice!
The uphill 4x4 restoration continues... being a Willy's amateur I suspect there will be a lot of learning along the road! I want to overhaul the brake system.. any links to overhaul kits for this model much appreciated. Thanks Oli |

May I suggest that you start a new thread for the brakes. Folks who are
familiar with brakes may not look at a tread on serial numbers.
You may find what you want by using the "Advanced Search" feature of this site. The "regular" search feature is useless. Are you interested in "upgrading" your brakes, or does it just have to be "original"? When I researched doing my brakes, I found that the cost is very comparable. I would look hard at going with at least 11" drum brakes off of a newer vehicle. I would want the self adjusting ones. Jeep, Ford, Dodge & International Harvester (IH), 1/2 ton pickups, Broncos, & Scouts from the 1960s &1970s would be candidates for donor rigs. As would any CJ or wagon, Willys, or Jeep. Disc brakes would be better, but as long as I can skid the tires, I am happy. The larger drums do this. IHTH, Cpt Logger. |

I know this is an old post but was wondering if Merc Man ever got his rig registered?
I just picked up a CJ2A that I have minimal paperwork on. I have found 4 numbers stamped on the frame horn but nothing on the body yet. There are no visible tags and I don't see any holes on the passenger side firewall where they would be placed. The engine was replaced with a 3.8 and the tailgate has been replaced The jeep very straight with minimal rust. the frame looks solid so it is worth putting the effort into to keep it on the road. Any help would be great. Thanks, Ken

Ken,
The sheriff that came out used my engine number as my VIN, I have a bonded title which has worked well. According to the state if I want to give them $30 now they will remove the words bonded title. I had to jump through a few hoops, needed a bill of sale, the bond and form from the sheriffs dept saying the rig was not stolen or did not appear to be stolen. If you go or can go the bonded title way, I would look for a group in your county to do the work, they will provide the bond for one cost and fill out the paper work usually for about $100 (for the paper work) which after doing it myself I easily spent over that much in time. Good luck and let me know if you have more questions
