Thanks again! I appreciate it. Hopefully you'll like my old leafs just as much. So far the ride is nearly identical.

 

Hey hawk could you post a close pic of your gutter mounts attached to the jeep pls

 

Never mind found some good pics on your rack build thread. Great work but seriously be careful welding the galveniezed stuff. It can mess you up. I have been sick from inhaling it while welding at work.

 

Well I've been busy lately... I put a new U joint in the rear driveshaft. It might have been the easiest thing I have ever done to the Jeep. With the slip yoke it was super nice just to pull it out change it, clean it, and throw it back in.





But more importantly I bought 4 KC 130W Daylighters I replaced the old 55W Harbor Freight lights with the KCs. Here's a few pics of the finished product. If anyone would like a closer up pic of something let me know. Tonight I will be driving it out to see how the lights do. I will post pics of the lights at night. It was an easy install just took forever to make sure I was doing everything right.











BTW the switch position is BA! It looks great in my opinion and it works great!







Thanks again for looking!

 

in all my days i would've never thought of puttin the switches there. i love the build, glad ta see ya got tha KC's. another thing, noticed that ya live in south indy. fiances from indy and wonderin where bouts your from. again congrats on tha build and im tuned in.

 

I'm from Evansville, IN. It's about as far south as you can go before you reach KY. If your ever down here let me know!

 

New lights look great man!

 

will do. i live bout 4 counties away from KY. lived here in reynolds co. have all my life cept 9 months in knox indiana, starke county.

 

I checked out your bike build. Nice!!

Also, it looks like you have a nice potential tow rig in the 2nd to last pic in post #64.

 

Thanks again man! Well that was our old 454 Chevy that caught fire a while back. My mom said she'd give it to me if I put a Cummins in it and restored it. I've been HIGHLY considering it. Right now I have so many projects it's ridiculous.

I tried out my lights last night and they are almost over the top. I didn't get any pics but I will either tonight or tomorrow for sure. I LOVE them! Great investment to be able to see deer or anything far away at night

 

It's been a while since last post but today I bought a set of tires and wheels from a friend of a friend. She wanted $100 and I believe to say that was one of the best $100 I've spent. I'll post some pics of them tomorrow. They looks great but I wish they were offset a tad more. I'm thinking of just selling my old wheels and tires and the new wheels and buying a set of craiger soft 8s or something exactly what I want. Pics soon to come!

The Jeep quit starting today as well. I'm not sure why but this is the second time it has happened. I tried to jump the starter solenoid but no luck. I took off the started, jumped it and it worked just fine. I put it back on the Jeep and no problems starting and actually starts better now. I guess every year I should just pull the starter and put it back on regardless if it needs it or not.

Also.... I have MAJOR serpentine belt problems. It keeps squeaking. The only thing I can think of is that something is misaligned. All pulleys work fine and they're bearing are fine. The tension on the belt should be fine. I have replaced the belt, alternator, and the idler pulley. The squeak is still here. I hate it. I love this motor but I DO NOT like the power steering pump being the tensioner. Any suggestions PLZ comment or PM me! Thanks guys!

Oh and not like anyone cares, but I cleaned up and replaced my battery terminals. They were needing it bad and now it looks much nicer now

 

Nice!

 

Well I finally got around to getting some pics of the new wheels and tires. I wish they were offset more but oh well. Hope yall like them!

I also found that my serpentine belt is squeaking because the harmonic balancer has slowly been pulled forward so much the belt is squeaking because of it. Anyone ever replace the balancer before? How hard should it be?

 

The balancer is a pretty bug pain because you have to take the front of the xj off meaning bumper grill lights etc. Pretty much the whole assembly

 

The chrome isn't me. Those tires are worth more than the hundred. Great pick up! Let me know if you get sick of those tires.
