Burks Works Engineering

Another happy customer, and another job well done 😎 I love the community support!

This weekend we had Jason's super clean Pathfinder in to replace this low hanging plastic bumper with a nice high clearance steel unit.

He brought us a laser cut 51 piece puzzle for adults, and we got to work welding and grinding to make it all one piece. A little modification was needed to make it work with the 1.5" body lift, but we got it pretty close to the body and gained an additional 1.5" of ground clearance in the process, so win-win! After the bumper was welded and blended smooth, we threw on a swing on tire carrier for good measure, and sent another happy customer on their way. Have fun painting it Jason!

We just sent this beautiful '81 CJ5 and her owner Debbie on their way after quite a bit of work. Having recently acquired this beauty, the owner had a list of concerns and repairs to get addressed to keep this rig on the road for many years to come.

This jeep had a crack in the original cast head, so it had to be replaced with a remanufactured head. This replacement head had also been rebuilt before, and you can see evidence of a machinist repairing a previous crack in a cooling jacket.

After freshly gasketing the engine from the block up, it got a bunch of replacement parts in the ignition, electrical, and exhaust. The exhaust manifold had to be modified to close off a small part of the edge of the tubes, where it wasn't fully sealing leading to an exhaust leak.

A bunch of other routine maintenance and repairs included rebuilding the rear axle, resealing the transfer case, rebuilding the front hubs and steering, and repairing the clutch pedal which had been eaten most of the way through, due to a long gone bushing between the pedal and master cylinder push rod.

Oh and the cherry on top was the grille insert, to protect the radiator from catching a rock on our AZ highways, since you could put a golf ball between those slats!

Long story short, she's back on the road and better than ever. Here's to many more faithful years of service!
