Congatulations on the cook-off win Steph. It sounds like your starting to get a pretty good understanding of the old Jeep. Good weekend here, spent alot of time hanging out with my kids. Also finished prepping the XJ for her new front bumper tommorow. Removed the front bumper and brackets and gave the front crossmember a good coat of undercoating for help in preventing future rust as well as made up a template for the new bumper brackets.

 

No worries. Problem is it's gettin worse all the time the dollar amount of everything but the old paycheck just keeps going up!

 

Alwayxj will drive up here for some BBQ, but its like pullin teeth to get him here for some wheelin! Lol

 

Well he does live across the street from me lol
Steve we sure can fix up something one of these days....

 

my gosh steph you have been one busy person this weekend, and the t-case leak... is it coming from the yoke where the drive shaft bolts to? if so you can replace it w/o pulling the case but you will need a 1/2" breaker bar and ratchet or a impact gun but you will need to remove the yoke by removing the nut and it should slide off if not tap it with a hammer and it'll come off and then you will need to seal puller and remove the seal and tap the new on in softly with a hammer and install the yoke and tighten it..... not sure what the torque specs are for it.

 

ya,ya i know every damn time you guys plan somthing it seems like something comes up like the day before, one of these days for sure.

 

I know just bustin your *****!

 

So when it the next run/cook off (if stephs coming) lol?

 

I don;t know, but one thing is sure:
-I am not driving 300 miles again to bust a radiator LOL
-August / September is hard on the wallet with the back to school thing
-i'll provide the meat if you guys come up here lol (well if I am around of course)
