your parents are awesome! lol my parents just take money from me

 

I was at a junkyard a county over from me for a front driveshaft, and they wanted $100 bucks for it! I told them to go **** themselves!

 

Wow! Hey, are you working on that Monstalining job any time soon?

 

I wish. Won't be done until my new rockers are welded in. It'd be pointless to do it now and risk damaging it with welding sparks and whatever else, plus I want to Monstaline the new rockers. I'm hoping that project will be well on it's way in the next few weeks. Need to get a bottle of gas next paycheck, and practice welding a bit, then the paycheck after that I'll hopefully be able to get the 2x6 and other assorted supplies I'll need. So, I'm looking at mid October - beginning of November.

 

Sweet! Really looking forward to seeing what you do. I've been thinking about it and the more I think.. I'm kind of wondering how it'll work with dirt. Like how easily it'll come clean. I know it's not like other bedliners, but still.

 

That was on CL, the JY in my town wanted the same price for a front driveshaft.

 

That's what I thought when I first read it, then I read it again later and thought you meant pull-a-part.

 

So, haven't had time to pick up temp/oil senders for my new cluster yet... I've been driving my mom around looking at minivans and I pulled onto an exit ramp and got a bit of smoke when I braked. Shady. Didn't happen after that so I'm assuming there was dirt on the rotors or something.

Then an hour later I got this...



Took it to AutoZone. Code P420. Heh. Again. It seems to happen whenever I get gas from RaceTrac, then it goes away.
Then we decided that between no temp/oil senders and my warped rotor that I'd drive this for the weekend instead.



Don't get me wrong, I love my XJ... but V8s are fun.

My parents offered to take it to get new brakes today. While it was there they also put in my serpentine belt, breather hose from VC to airbox, and changed the oil... even though I already did so.

 

So... got new pads and rotors. It drives so much better now. Smooth braking is foreign to me. Haha. Serpentine belt got replaced as well while it was in the shop, and the squealing seemed to have stopped for the first couple drives. Then, it came back. I'm guessing the belt is just breaking in and needs to be tightened up.

Messing around with PS a bit.


Considering this for sure. I think it'd look a lot nicer if I tried a bit harder with the photoshopping.

Just something cheap to tide over my desire to do something to the Jeep.

 

Didn't end up bedlining it this weekend. Life happened.

What's this?







Loud noisemaker thingy.

 

Got the muffler welded on my XJ today. It sounds a million times better than what I was expecting, wow. Comparison video soonish.

 

Check engine light is gone, and I got this video:

 

It's a little off.. irritates me.

Did this:






I pretty much drenched the receiver in spray paint. Lazy as hell, but I'm not really worried about runs on it. I also sprayed the wires because why the **** not...? >.>

 

Was changing a brake light and the bulb shattered in my hand...



Definition of PO:



Bad picture, but it shows the switch I put in to control the dome light. I wanted something that the passengers could reach, and my headlight switch didn't control the dome light anyway. No idea why...



Jeep money!


...I wish...

Jeep that I went to look at because I wanted something 97+ and 4wd and 4 door... it was nice and I almost traded him my laptop for it, but my dad freaked out because he didn't want to insure another vehicle. I don't have a job so I couldn't really say anything anyway.



Found this from when it went to the shop to have brakes put on:



Definitely don't have a 99...

I really wish the fender wasn't ****ed.



Back when the muffler was getting welded on:



Oil pressure sender for the new gauge cluster:



this is going to be an issue...



Probably the best mod I've done thus far:



Does this happen to anyone else? The split in the window manages to perfectly block my mirror..



Then I got pulled over... I blame women passengers.



Okay, I lied. THIS is the best mod:

 

Nice build so far.
I have everything for a 4wd swap up in jersey.
