Fixed the rattling noise. I was driving then suddenly I felt rattling/clicking vibes on the floor. Pulled over and checked the rotating parts. I initially thought it would be the harmonic balancer separating or something. Checked the engine, looked fine. Felt my hand on various parts. Noticed strong vibes coming from the t case. So I investigated around the t case. I thought the chain was rubbing on the case inside, but decided to check down more anyway. The rattling felt in sync with the misfiring on the engine so I checked the tailpipe. Turns out there's a pebble that somehow got wedged in between the exhaust pipe and the trans crossmember. I took the pebble out, and all is quiet again.
Threw together a rear cargo box to help with organization when my wife and I are camping out of the Jeep for a week at a time. 1/2 inch ply covered in cheap carpet. Took about 2.5 hours and $30.
Finally got her all bolted back up after the cylinder head replacement, drove her for a while to shake everything down, great to have her back on the road again!
0631 heads can crack too. Idk how mine did, but I've only had it for 18 months and 10k miles so its possible someone overheated it recently when I bought it.
Hell, I cracked a 7120.

Got rid of the old metal trim and had a new windshield installed with the rubber gasket instead! Is it just me or does this gasket look a little wide
Nah... did the same thing with mine. Looks to be about the same size as what I have:

Couple exhaust hanger clamps & some careful placement, and I'm really happy with it. It's low, out of the way, clears the roof, and I've got my cargo area back!
Hmmph! Never woulda thought of adding a rub rail to the rear... looks good.

The F was to see how well the overhangs would do with the support structures for that piece. It turned out pretty well. Sky's the limit on what I could put there. I think in my final print it will be the logo for the Python programming language.
With the glue on the print bed cleaned up, a smaller layer height, and a slightly slower print speed the appearance will be pretty awesome. With an acetone vapor bath, the piece will take on a glassy appearance which is what I want in my final print.
As it is, though, you could beat someone to death with that shifter and the **** would not break or loosen.
Had to give my starter a "love tap" to get home last night...had to give it another 2 to get to work...now it's raining, hope it doesn't need one to get home. Then I plan on replacing the starter and adding an aux tranny cooler.
