I work right around the corner from the quarry, live about 45 minutes away.

 

Did you hear the squeel from my power steering pump in the vids i posted? What causes that?

 

Check your belt tension and belt condition...
I really didn't hear it, but I know the squeal you are talkin bout

 

Haha just ran the xj threw the craw daddy trial here at rausch

 

Belt is new. Prolly a shy bit loose.

Pics or it didnt happen lol... assuming the craw daddy trail is pretty hard.

 

X2 on the pics
snug up on the belt and let me know if the noise is still there....

 

I just rewatched the vids and it seem like when the pump is under a lot of strain, but doesnt sound like belt squeel...

 

Have you tried changing the fluid??? Could also be sucking a bit of air. Try turning wheel with cap off and see if you get a lot of bubbles

Heard the noise in the last video, not too sure what to make of that

Take the cap off and try to get me a video of the fluid while turning wheel lock to lock...

 

Just throwing this up, incase anyone didnt see it in the For Sale section. ill be back in MD in 12 days and the fun will begin stripping it and swapping the motor in the other one... if you need anything let me know....



Mike sorry about not calling i didnt forget about ya on the bumper things have gotten a little crazier down here in VA then i was really expecting it to be

 

No worries, I've been super swamped at work, trying to get work done on my and the Wife's rig and can't even make the time for that...

 

i hear ya man, well hopefully after i get the other jeep up on the road. or ill jack the old mans YJ ill have to swing by and alteast copy down those from ya and just have to figure out a weekend or something. i got stationed right up in Cape May so hopefully youll see my jeep go from a stock little guy, up to a 9" on 35s with some goodies. your front and a matching rear bumper. depending on price of metal ill prolly make sliders with a tube flared out for a little step like deal and start drafting ideas for a roof rack. now that im gonna be close to home i have everything i need tools wise, plus my old man to help out with every.

 

That's probably going to be the best way. Gotta draw the plans for the matching rear bumper. Gonna have a swing out tire carrier. I'll try and get the templates traced out in the next couple of weeks
Can't do no more on mine until I either rebuild the lower end in the wife's XJ or drop another motor in....

 

Probably not. I'm at a party now and don't think I'll be home until late.

Anyone off tomorrow? I want to head to trails rd.

 

well if you want man, the ZJ i got had a blown motor, if you want that to see what parts you can salvage off it. ill trade you the motor for a sheet of metal for my bumper build? im not sure what went out on it, but if its something your interested in we can work something out. if not youll have a motor sitting there you can build that and give me a week or so notice and ill come over and give you hand swapping the motors out
