Well I wouldn't say it's the usual way of connecting a stuck shaft, but I got it to finally pop loose... Should be out of the garage tomorrow and off to the shop shortly after I get the track bar on

 

Double shear is in with a lil modification... IRO and rubicon express don't seem to like goin together lol. Just gotta shift the axle over about an 1" is so and hit the mount with a 5/8" bit to fit the new bolt and it will leave the garage for the first time since August... Stoked on that!

 

No your eyes aren't deceiving you... The heep is out of the garage and ready to head to the shop! 2nd time it's left the garage since August... All I can say is I can't wait to have it running again it looks soooo much better out of the garage haha

 

Hey, what's all that white crap on the ground?
Being a Florida boy, that stuff looks dangerous.


Get that thing running already!!!!!

 

It's not snow I promise!! And it's in the works, just waiting on funds to pay for a diagnosis. Most likely fixing it myself once they find what the problem is if I can haha

 

Did you ever look at the plugs and connectors on the steering column?

 

I did haha, replaced most of them as well just in case.. Even check the plug that goes through the firewall under my master cylinder, that checked out so I filled it with grease and plugged it back in

 

If all that checked out, it's gonna end up being something really stupid and cheap. Crank position sensor, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, or faulty coil. Or even cheaper, bad distributor cap/rotor

 

My guess is probably a faulty coil.. Only cause I've replaced everything else mentioned lol.but that would explain weak spark. Only thing after that is I can't find what's causing no signal from the key to the starter, everything I found or was told to check, checked out fine haha. So idk, but odds are its something super super stupid that I've just over looked

 

Picking up the new front axle tomorrow! Can't wait to slap some better geared axles under this thing, even better yet fix the electrical bug she's got.... Even better found out u-haul down the street from me has a few dolly and trailers for no more than $55 for the day to get it to the shop and if all goes well, drive it home. Finally getting the wheeling bug back after I hid it away a few months ago and it suuuucks cause I can't yet haha, soon though.

 

At least your making progress. Are you planning to do one of the Knik trips if your back up and running?

 

Would I like to, yes. But I was banned from the jeep'n Alaska page for being an admin of the 4x4 Alaska page that Ted doesn't like, so most likely not. I do have a glacier trip planned for the 19th of January, but we'll see if I'm up and running by then...

 

Well I got rid of the stock hood latch and made my life 10 times easier with hood pins. Picked up the hp d30 from an auto to throw under mine, hopefully can get out to the parts jeep to get the 8.25 so I have matching 3.55 gearing. 3" pucks going in aswell. Just waiting on payday so the heep can be on its way to the shop

 

That's why I'm going with the Alaska JK's. I whee with more guys from there than that "Jeepin' Ruby Lake/Hatcher's Pass/Buffalo Mine page"

 

Haha I never really went wheeling with them, haven't heard too much good from their trips.. If all goes well, I'd like to get out and test the rig. Needa find the kinks and do some adjusting. Track bar is a tad short, so I'll have to see how she rides and extend accordingly.. So I hope to have it ready by the glacier run I'm hosting on my page, but only time money will tell.. I'll keep ya posted and see if I can't get out for a run with yall
