Lil bit of a fun night. Drained what was left of the 6 quarts of oil, to only found about 3. So it was leaking pretty bad. Grabbed some better rtv to get it sealed up right this time. Swapped out the tps, but don't think I got it quite adjusted correctly. Anyone know the voltage reading for closed and wide open for a 92? Looked around and found tons of mixed reading.

While waiting for the oil pan gasket to cure, I figured I'd get the bumper done. Turned out alright, still needs some work and paint. Dumping in more oil tomorrow and taking it for a drive to make sure it sealed up

Do you plan on driving this on the street?

Already do. Actually more street legal than you'd think, atleast for Alaska standards. So in short, yes it will be street driven

I'm just confused on how you can run LED pods as headlights. I don't know the Alaskan laws on headlights, but I'm pretty sure those aren't appreciated

I've run various forms of all kinds of LED and HID headlights in the jeep and my old truck and these actually put a lot more on the road and are aimed properly so that the pattern is no different than the factory headlights, just brighter and better output. Plus they are a spot beam, so the light is concentrated where I have it aimed rather that all over the road.

Yea figured I'd upgrade to something that looks decent lol. Just the cheap Amazon one, but so far it works so I have no complaints there. Just needs an inline filter since I ran the hose straight to the tb

Cool deal. I was wondering how well those fit to the body considering the low price. I'm trying to decide between a cowl intake and a snorkel. Want to fab a cowl intake, but the snorkel price is tempting.

Mine would line up a lot better if my a pillar lined up with my fender, but it doesn't lol. Plus I have the a pillar lights, so it needed some slight work to fit. Not fully flush with the fender, but I'm ok with that because it works haha

New iac and a clean throttle body along with a new fuel filter got it going better. Had a bubble in the fuel system that made for a interesting idle after I hit the gas, but got it fixed. Now onto checking all the vacuum lines just to be sure, and swapping the fuel pump that was on its way out

Installed the relocation bracket for the track bar. Just enough to bring it back to center. Gotta throw some fuel in the tank aswell as the 1/4 tank that my gauge reads seems to be bone dry. Gonna swap in a new fuel pump assembly soon to get the 2nd gauge that's been put in there reading accurately.

Another drive in the books to test out the new relocation bracket on the track bar. Much better ride. Found the idling issue was somewhat of a vacuum leak, except in the form of a torn intake/manifold gasket. Which meant while it was cold it would run just fine, but once the jeep warmed up and the much colder outside air was slipping through the tear past the o2 sensor causing the computer to improperly adjust when it didn't need to. Should be fixing it and replacing the fuel pump and going through the grounds this week while I've got the down time from work.

Well an intake/manifold gasket turned into finding that I have a leaky injector.. Every port was dry except cyl 2 that was soaked with fuel. Found some 4 port injectors for cheap and also a set of 318 injectors that'll bolt up. The only question is which to choose, about a $4 difference
