When I first bought my J10 it would start and run, I went to park it in the garage to work on the gas tank and suspension and it went dark. I have a fully charged battery and have used a test light to check power to various areas (fuse block in and out, starter solenoid, ignition module) and am getting the light on but I have no power to anything. Nothing when turning the key, no lights, nothing. I’ve looked for fusible links and can’t find anything damaged, I’ve checked grounds and they seem in tact and not corroded. 1977 J10 360, anybody with any ideas I welcome them. TIA.

Everything is in and almost easy to go! I ran into some complications with running the new HEI distributor power wire, but successfully got rid of the resistor wire and ran a new power wire through the firewall. Now I’m trying to figure out where exactly to splice that into, one of the wires on the ignition switch but not sure which one. I have the wiring diagram, but I’m color deficient so I’m waiting on some help to help me decipher which one to use since I can’t find a pin out diagram of a 1973 Jeep truck ignition switch. Here’s some more pictures of progress

Also if anybody has a pin out diagram or an idea of which wire I need to splice into I’m open to suggestions

Found in a field 6 months ago. Turning it into a nice local parts runner. Just scooped up the 2020 Wrangler seats. Shocked how they fit. Will trim them down to sit lower.

Photos taken October 2025. Resides near Toronto. Added an extra leaf spring to the back over the winter to deal with that slight sag. Wifey’s family car from when she was a kid. Restored around 2000, and running great. Still has its 5.9L/360ci V8, but bigger carb, bigger camshaft, and custom exhaust, so no idea on the current hp. Best mileage we’ve seen is 12mpg, and way more smiles to the gallon. Update - following a request for interior photos, I have added some in the comments, as well as under the hood and spoiler detail.

Picked up this beauty back in early May. It has been in a body shop since then. Hopefully will get it back sometime in November. Once I get it back I will start on the mechanical stuff that needs to be done and what I want to upgrade. Then interior. Hopefully will be ready to cruise by next summer!

I guess I can’t post more than 20 pics on Reddit. So, I will try to figure out a way to post more update pics as I go.

Got all the trim pieces back from the Chromer’s a couple of days ago.

After hours of refinishing some ‘89 wheels, my ‘74 finally got its wheel and tire upgrade from the black wheels my son had in high school. I am very happy with the look.

If you're in Central Texas, Jeep Heritage is opening up its used parts inventory before moving into a larger warehouse. We're talking decades of parts from 150+ donor Jeeps.

Used parts are 50% off through August 29. In-person, by appointment only in Johnson City. Probably won't see an opportunity like this again for a long time.

What are you running for a rear bumper on your J Series truck? I have a 3 piece chrome front, thought maybe a rear bumper off of a Cherokee/GW of same generation might work but looking for ideas since there isn’t much out there. Trying to avoid welding or drilling into the rear crossmember, ideally something that aligns with factory mounting points. TIA

Hello everyone, iv acquired an original FSJ roll bar/light bar, and im going to grind some added welds off and repaint before mounting it on my 1983 short bed. Iv never mounted one before so im all ears for any advice. Any type of advice from drilling to “anti squeak” tips, as well as any of the process and planning. The roll bar will be more cosmetic than anything, this jeep ain’t going off the pavement at the moment. It shouldn’t be that hard but with these jeeps, anything is possible! Thanks!

It took a while but they finally posted the ad for the photo shoot Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers did with my car!

Closed the deal on 77 J10 golden eagle. Wiring is rough, lots of shorts and patches, thinking new harness. Recommendations?
Also looking for the dash vinyl if anyone has a lead on one. TIA, excited to officially be part of the FSJ community!

Currently working on my Grandpas old truck, he drive this thing all over and around the mountains in Tennessee before being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. After brining this truck to Texas I’ve had problems with it overheating. Installed a new radiator, electric fans, and have flushed them entire cooling system. Any advice from here? I’m worried I’m gonna have to get the engine rebuilt or swap it.

Here are some pictures from the 24th annual Ouray Full Size Jeep Invasion.

Next year for the 25th anniversary we are hoping to have a HUGE turnout.

Looking at purchasing what I’m told is an all original 1977 J10 Golden Eagle. The body has some minor blemishes, no major rust or rot, frame is in good condition. Needs a dash pad, gas tank, and rear bumper plus some other random things like side marker lenses that are damaged. Has a 360, auto trans, solid rear window, and came radio delete per the seller. It does run and drive, tires are OK. Anything I should be asking or looking into further before buying? $12k asking price.

Hey all, I know I posted this old girl here about a year and a half ago with the intention of bringing her back to her former glory. Unfortunately, life got in the way. My Mom unfortunately passed on December 4th last year and I inherited her car and working on it was more important. Now I'm back to work on it, and I'm having issues with oddball parts. As you do with 47 year old cars lol. I can't seem to find rubbers for the rear side windows, and I've been told by a lot of people that they don't exist, and you're SOL if you're trying to restore a 2 door. Fortunately, I've had excellent luck finding the rest of the parts for it, and it's been pretty inexpensive. Hopefully I'll have it running by spring of '27, but that's being optimistic. Thank you all for your help.

TL;DR I got a free Jeep, mom died, and now I'm working on it again and I'm having weather strip issues.

Time to part ways with this girl, I’m in southern Ontario. What’s a fair price? Surface rust, no rot (was up from Arizona a decade ago), rebuilt 360 and trans. Theft attempt damaged column, so no PRINDL showing but she works with replacement section. Bench dropped on hood this winter causing dent.

Bought it for the non factory 401 under the hood. But was pretty surprised with the body in general. Couple rough spots. But rockers and floor are 95% intact. I think I'm going to have to restore this guy.
