Its been a while... besides finishing a semester of school and over working myself... the times I got to work on the jeep and wheel with it was short...
But yea... after the floor was dried, I installed new metal into the floor... riveted it in... and put sealant between the floor and the new metal to prevent any water seeping in... I also replaced the orginal gasket for the valve cover and repainted it...

After the sealant dried I said what the hell lets go off roading... this time it was a new area, on krome and 129
Well the jeep performed awesome till the u straps on the back driveshaft came right off... thanks to other jeep members that were there I was able to drive the jeep 2wd front to my place to leave it for another day....
As well I forgot the 4 bolts that connected a back part of the yoke that goes from the transfer case to the driveshaft... so damn @.@

As you can see the straps wasn't what broke, it was the bolt itself... had 2 bolts that the heads ripped off, and the remaining of the bolt was jammed inside...
Alright guys here's the pics... the driveshaft had to get a new u joint, that was basically an all day event having myself and 3 other guys trying to get it on... and once we finished I noticed I misplaced 4 bolts that attached the rear driveshaft to the slip yoke elimantor

Lucky for me I have a friend that goes to the junkyard every now and then and was able to find me the bolts... perfect match...
As for the yoke had to drill the left over bolts out, to make them u bolts conversion... but ended up messing the yoke... drilled ONE HOLE! Side ways, my friend and I spent most of morning finding another yoke...
Lucky for me our friend gary on the forum had a spare yoke that he gave us... with his help I was able to drill striaght holes
as my friend (walt) continued to spray my foot or leg with pb blaster trying to aim at the yoke to keep it lubricant...
Other than that everything was pretty easy... put the yoke on, tighten the nut, put the driveshaft back on both sides, installed the u bolts and tightened... the exciting part was driving it :-)

It's just a Dorman kit with straps and bolts. I'm pretty sure you can get a yoke, there's really not much at all O'Reilly's can't get, I mean we have a few 18 wheeler parts on the shelf

Didn't do anything big, switched one side of the roof rack so now iy looks like a basket... more uniform
In the same time since I'm getting ready to put in my snorkel, I went ahead and cleaned the throttle body and intake hose and any hose going or leaving the air filter box...

Well I finally found some free time and I did my snorkel :-D
Took me some time and had to make 2 holes in my fender but I got it working and sealed the entire air filter housing so now all I need is a hurricane to bring a lot of water

So I decided to go to a nighting with the jeep to show friends the snorkel and not shortly the front driveshaft fell off -.- figures the screws came loose... lucky for me I was able to find a warehouse dedicated to just screws, bolts, and etc... as well I replaced the u -joint and good as new
As I was in the warehouse I found 7/8 d- rings... these things are huge and awesome looking, I painted them... and lucky for them they fit my front bumper

Well the jeep has been acting wierd for some time: misfiring, exhaust smelling rich in gas, bogging or just feeling like its going to die when I floor it... so it was time for a tune up
New Dis. Cap, rotor, fuel filter, spark plugs and wires... and I cleaned the air filter ( have a
K& N)
I noticed that cylinder #4 spark plug had a lot of carbon bulid... hmm, can't be too good...
