Painted the hood with plastidip today! I like it so I'm gonna paint it after I paint the jeep again

 

Does any one know what The light numbers are for my dash lights? I'd like to change them over to blue lights and how Many will I need for the gauges?

 

74I think ? Or pc194 or 194 depends on which on you need the real small ones are 74 the ones with the plastic are pc194 and the bigger ones no Plautus are 194

 

You managed to confuse me... Lucky Cherokees are easy to take the dashes apart so I'll pull a few bulbs and see, actually I'll just pull them out when I'm at a picknpull and then I'll know exactly what I need.

 

Sorry I was working and typing those are the part numbers if you would go to a local auto parts store and look in the light bulb section.

 

It happens! And the hood paint on my jeep peeled up at the car wash so I took it off. I'm not looking to upgrade my jeep as much right now unfortunately. But I am signing up for wyotech and need to start putting some away for that. I went hunting/wheeling last weekend and my electric fan broke off and got chewed up a little by the Pully but I got it working again while on the trail.

My oil pan was back ordered from jegs so now I have to get a different one, I'm replacing my u joints soon so I hope that solves the popping. And I have a stock drive shaft that's .5" longer than mine so I will be swapping that in to hopefully stop the vibes. I'm also taking the main leafs off some old xj springs and putting them under mine to hopefully stop the sagging.

 

Got new rain ex latitude wipers the other day. Let's just say they are amazing! No streaks in the window, I just need a set of wipers for the mud now so I dont mess these ones up.

 

nice jeep man it looks really good


O word of advice for you man, wyotech/ uti is a big scam. Yes it looks like a sweet program on the videos but the auto industry isnt all that at all. Dealerships are switching up their flat rate and you will get a job working out as a lube tech c at any dealership before you work your way up which will take forever in this economy due to nobody being able to quit/retire. Local shops are doing good right now but 95% of them you will need a couple years of shop experience and your ase's. Not trying to bum you out or anything but my highschool auto class was awesome when you work on your own car, working on other peoples cars that dont care about their vehicles sucks. Diesel, marine, welding, and fabrication are what you want to get into right now especially welding. If you do go into a auto school go community college, you get your certs and save roughly 27,000

 

Ya a cert from the big bang schools are crap. Few years at a community collage will get you waaaaaaay better results and will be cheaper.
Just a heads up from a ase certified mechanic.

 

I find it hit and miss.... I hear that school sucks I hear it's awesome... For me Theres a big name known by many, good back ground, I like the interaction with others from all around the US, and some things other schools just don't have, and the possibilities of getting jobs all throughout the US. But the in my eyes the biggest thing is how hard I work and what I put into it. I already know a Lot but way far from everything. I'm taking the chassis fab, and the auto. I do like the stuff they do have though. I have about a years worth of mechanics through the community college here, but they don't have some of the things I would like. I've been fairly disappointed actually by the lack of newer cars at the one I'm at (newest is like 2000) and they've all been destroyed over the years. I will agree some of the things are EXTREMELY over priced there (375 a month for housing!) I have done some research by talking to actual shop owners, they've told me where we live it doesn't matter but as I get out of the valley it's more competitive and wouldn't hurt to have that name behind you.

 

I put my new used drive shaft in and new u joints. .5" really really makes a difference in how much the slip yoke is in the t case

 

Fixed the oil pan leak, blew the cork valve cover gasket so I got that replaced. Now the timing chain cover seal is the last leak for the oil and I'll be doing that one next week. I need to get pictures up soon.

 

Got paid today! I'm going down to order my timing chain cover seal harmonic balancer and u joints for the front axle.

 

Got the parts!

 

Looking good.

Just a note on that black plastic gasket.....not to be used. Also do not cut your oil pan gasket (it is to be reuse).
