serviced the front drive line and put skid plate back on, waiting for cob 24 to call ...

 

got the front end done, have to go to napa tomorrow to get u bolts and my new yoke for the chry 8.25 should have the rear done tomorrow..

 

Went wheeling yesterday up at Walker Valley. The new tierod and front axle shafts worked flawlessly. I am very pleased with my money spent. I even stopped on the middle of the Rock Garden on the Expressway Trail and pulled myself to the top of the hill with my winch and new "D" ring and tree saver....so I used all of my new toys.

I noticed a squeek and a shimmy on the way home. Today I traced the squeek to the right rear. The center link in my drum brake for the parking brake came out and loose parts were causing the squeek. I don't have a parking brake anymore anyway so I took the links out of both rear brakes and rotared the tires. A lot of the shimmy went away but, I need to get new balljoints and wheel bearing assemblies.

 

well they turned out nice. gave an inch on the one side. so my tire isnt stuffed.

 

I chopped up my spare doors and got a general design of what they'll look like as half doors. pulled the sails and main glass out and am going to post the main glass on CL. I tell you..... It sure must have been a sight to see me running a resip saw and chopping up a perfictly good set of doors.

 

ordered poly urethane control arm bushings, bought rancho steering stabilizer. no more death wobble for now until i get a new trackbar. installed my sway bar poly bushings and my quick diconnects. readdy to go wheelingg

 

Well i picked up my heep today from Billy Bobs Offroad. Had new 4.88`s installed and found out that my front locker was trashed so i had to get an new one of those too. So now i gotta break in my new gears and I`ll be ready to do some wheeling. P.S. this is the only thing that my heep has seen an shop on. Never again i hope.

 

Gave mine a hug because I was gone for a couple days!

 

I kicked it. Spent 4 hours in traffic with the jeep today. Cant wait to pick up the 87 gt mustang next week for my daily driver.

 

Absolutley nothing again. She's sitting waiting for a tranny rebuild. Gosh this sucks.

 

How much all that set you back?

 

OOH, i spot a few fellow washingtonians! which billy bobs did you go to? the one in milton/edgewood is run by a couple of knuckleheads and i absoloutely HATE their services... done me no good in the past year or so

 

Just under $1500. with an year warrenty

 

That be them I`m also an WOW member so i got $200. off Plus our wow meetings are at Billy Bobs in there shop the first wednesday of every month between 7-9 p.m. So he better not do me wrong. What was ur experience with them?

 

Picked your Jeep up from a shop!?!?!? Starting to sound like those Master Pull guys....Dude, we could have done your gears and locker.....Seriously, I know it's good to have a pro do gears and give you that warranty. I just had to jump on this opportunity to give you a little crap. You would have done the same to me.
