Just registered and got my jeep on the road today . I bought it back in janurary for abt 1500 bucks . I had to do a ton of work to it tho New radiator, all 4 ball joints, battery, serpentine belt, water pump, thermostat gasket, u joints, crank sensor, and I had a guy patch up the frame . All i need is a computer (has a finicky starting issue but fires right up) and a valve cover gasket (leaks a little oil) and a wheel bearing and maybe some emissions crap . Overall a perfectly good jeep . I wanna put a lift kit in it soon
Nothing much, swapped in my Trucklites and put the nose back on her face.
Looks 10X better already.
As for what I did to mine today? Took it out for a little drive and cursed at it. Damn airbag light came on and I discovered 3 drops of coolant on my trans line. Suspect it's the water pump. Just put that Mopar one on there, what, 8 months ago? &%#@+!!! I'll have to look into more closely later.
Oh well, can't complain. It's only the third failure of any kind I've had with it in 6 yrs. Not too bad a record for a 20 y.o. vehicle with 216k on it.
On second thought, forget it. I'm going to sell mine. Time to move on. Don't drive it much anyway. It'll be in the "For Sale" section if anyone is interested and pix can be seen on April COTM.
I replaced both of the washer fluid pumps but because my fenders are cut I didn't like how exposed they were so...
I had an old motorcycle license plate lying around that fit perfect.
Get a can of Fluid Film and give them a good spray. Did mine about a month ago and about 2 days later remembered that I wanted to do that. So I get to go back in at some point in time to do so.
had the last of the crap exhaust line cleared so I can hook all the good pieces up... I think this weekend is the weekend...
Baby steps… got all the vacuum lines and airbags replaced. Also, I thought slipping on the injector heat shield wraps would be easier to do once the rail was wired up and in place… Still, glad they're in.
Starter's going in tonight hopefully, along with the rest of the block wiring.
I thought about my XJ floor replacement project today. I believe it's going to turn out pretty good for my first major repair on the XJ.
Well hopefully it will be better than the DIY wrangler hardtop I seen today.
Replacing my basic OEM gauge cluster with the worthless "idiot lights" with one that has all the gauges. Easy swap on a 99, just waiting for it to get here.
