Got a lot done today. Changed the filter and gasket for the transmission and mated the transfer case back up to it. Also replaced the shot freeze plug and bolted the flexplate back up... Now i am in the process of installing the transmission cooler. Anyone know with line is in and out for the radiator portion on the cooler? I feel like the in is the top one but im not sure. Once i get that installed i can throw the tranny back in her finally!

 

Iac, and tps are new. I got another thread started for diagnosing problem since its not the normal high idle thing. It only seems to do it at operating temp and its intermittent and ive replaced everything like 3 times already.

 

Have you done the cheapest thing; torque the intake manifold bolts? I had a issue with it idling at 1,800rpm and I found the bolts furthest back on the manifold were finger tight. Torque em and idle dropped instantly

 

made a intake system!

 

Pics?

 

Yeah all torqued and no leaks. I think i fixed it....maybe. it always seems that way for a day or 2. So ill see soon i guess.

 

I hit the busy wild trail, broke a front axle shaft and a tail light

 

The busy in winter, sounds like fun! Any pics?

 

Well this was yesterday, but I got 31"s put on, and my chrome grille

 

Today, with help from my professor... welded my exhaust back together completely. Nothing rad like a performance cat and Cherry Bomb...
Just pieced the stock system back together. It broke apart after getting rear ended a while ago. It's all kinds of quiet now. If I had money for the components, a better cat, and glass pack with custom bent piping would be nice. But money is ungodly tight these days.

I also gave my gear oil a check. Trans looks nice and clean. Time to do the diff though.

Greased my front end points. Passenger side feeling a little shaky. Might have to replace some stuff up there. But if I end up doing that, I'm gonna do it all. Because if I can afford to do the tie rod end, and ball joints on one side, I'll have enough to do the other as well.

Shrug?

 

Fought getting the new hitch in with the gas tank skid. Going at it again tomorrow. Got some ideas on fender cut and fold as well as the rear 1/4 cut and fold. Got some hacking to do.

 

Installed my new lower control arms. Now i gotta sell my stock ones with brand new bushings

 

adjusted my tcase linkage so i have 4LO now.

and found all my vacuum leaks and made a JY list

 

Do you know what size thread that adjusting bolt is?

 

went to the j.y. yesterday got a new drivers door. installed it. painted it white to match with bedliner bottom half. just got done putting a new driverside axle ujoint.
