Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!

 

Had to bend an L looking bracket. Just make sure it's strong enough to hold it up. My first prototype was not :P

 

So I go out to my jeep yesterday and notice a nice little puddle under my jeep. At first I thought it was a leaking hose or something. tried moving the spring loaded clamp. That didnt help. So I took it to a shop to see what it was. And Found that it was a leaking water pump just after having my friends dad help replace the radiator Got a quote from the place. $252.10!!!!!!! WOW Its like a 30-45 dollar part! I have never done a water pump before and am not very mechanically inclined so I will have to find a way to replace it. SO frustrating. Im sure others have gone through stuff like this. The worst part is I cant get my friends dad or my dad to help. I'm 150 miles from them and I work almost everyday.


anyone got a write up on water pumps?

 

I know ChexMex did one on his rig and he had some picks in his build of the process.

Here it is https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/co...upgrade-69207/

 

Thanks for posting those pictures, man. I need to make a new mount for mine.

 

Thanks! I will look into it. Your welcome steel blue. Good luck. Once again just make sure you make the mount sturdy enough. It may bend haha

 

Got my new water pump and new thermostat in. Only had to remove the fan and power steering pump. Had one problem though. Didn't put the belt back on tight enough. Man that b*tch was squealing. I ran it and it was squealing bad and it was raining so I was trying to find somewhere to stop and tighten it and it died :/ weird. Not overheated. Then started right up after 2 minutes. Got the belt tightened and now it works fine. Anyone else have to tighten their belt really really tight???? Also my check engine light is on???

 

So went to autozone. Had them check my engine light. It said misfiring cylinder. Didn't know which cylinder. The guy said it could have been caused by my slipping belt. The light went off today and everything seems to be all good.

 

My XJ did that to me all the time. Said misfire cylinder 6. Maybe run a little seafoam in it?

 

Thanks will definitely look into it

 

Besides the belt issues it looks like the install went pretty well.

 

Yeah exactly. Finally no more leaking antifreeze. Crossing my fingers

 

So I have been wanting to find a way to mount my fishing pole in the back of my jeep to always have it with me.
So I went to the hardware store and found those clips you use to hold up brooms/shovels.

So then I mounted that piece using a screw in the back that held moulding up.

Then used a Velcro strap to hold it to the rear handle.

What do you guys think?

I hit a lot of bumps and it didn't go anywhere. It's pretty solid in there. It could be that it is a cork rod handle. But its working great.

 

Looks good, however your headliner is screaming "FIX ME" LOL!

 

Nice fishn pole mod. The pretty cheap and simple. good idea!!
