Fixed my crooked driver window
Painted my bumpers, flares, and visor back to black from the faded grey.
Re installed my fubared radio
Full interior clean
And made 5 bucks in change while doing it all
Try this again...just got XJ #5, did a little maintenance
replaced carrier bearings in the Chrysler 8.25, new front brakes and rotors, 2" Rubicon add a leaf lift and new shocks all around, O2 sensor...RR grease seal...That's if for now.
Today felt mostly like a failure. I decided not to work on the body wire for the rear hatch until after the holidays. Same thing for the track bar axle side bushing, but because I either want more time or better tools to remove and install the bushings, and I'm also going to wait until I have the body side tie rod end for it and take the track bar out completely and paint it. Then I tried to remove a fender flare retainer so I could reinstall the flare, only to find out that my 8mm wrenches disappeared in the move. I ordered an 8mm deep socket to use instead, but that won't be here until Friday.
It wasn't a complete waste though. I POR-15'd and painted my rear wheels. So at least tomorrow I'll be able to reinstall my bumper and rear wheels and be able to drive again.
Somewhat related is a usb charging-only cable I got for my old Nuvi 260 from onetruegen_com on ebay. I bought a cable, but instead of staying in charging mode, it went into data mode, so I couldn't charge and navigate at the same time. I let him know, and he researched and found that the wiring for the Nuvi is different, and he made me a new cable and shipped it out to me. That's some of the best service I've had, if not the best, which is even more notable since it only costs a few dollars and he could have just refunded me instead of going to the effort to make sure I got the charging cable I wanted.
