It's not what I did today, but is what I've been trying to accomplish over the past two months. Frustration couldn't explain how I've felt...
I've been determined to get this CJ-5 out for another trail ride in about a two year period and had to encounter MANY CJ issues to keep things short.
Well, enough was enough so I made a phone call to my/our friend Mount Zion Off-Road.
I'll quote Mike's email when my CJ was finally ready after a 30 stay in their care...Take in mind I did tell Mike I wasn't in a hurry, I just wanted things corrected. It would “fire”, and I knew it wasn’t just a grounding issue.
That might have been the wrong thing to say

for Mike and myself.
"We were pulling our hair out with your Jeep, but finally figured everything out"I’m not a fan of tracing wires…Personally I’d rather eat dirt. Wow, did this CJ have issues. Here’s the list…
1) Starter Solenoid (Sticking-Starter ON)
2) Ignition Switch (Power wire from fuse box to relay had broken)
3) 20 amp fuse
4) Ignition Module
5) Distributor Replaced (Used)
6) Distributor Pick-Up wire was bad
7) Fuse for fuel pump relay was bad and replaced.
I’m picking it up Friday, am unavailable to go wheeling Saturday so I’m heading back down to the lower end of my property to exert some “testosterone” and just might have another interesting write up for the Club’s Newsletter.
I'll add this too...It pays to have a stored inventory of variuos parts...and Nancy calls it junk..."She has NO clue".
My reply: If I can't use it someone I come accross will be able to...

Mike Hardesty liked my last property story (few years back) so I just might enlighten his day again with another.
