This will be a great thread that we can keep going. That way we can keep up with the small day to day tinkering of our members.

 

I did alot of measuring and computer time researching 4.0 tech, I now own one and don't know anything about them.

 

nothing special, just something to keep this going, i finally figured out that i have the 8.25 ... oh and i think i fixed the little tube that supplies the rear wiper with washer fluid so no more squirting the car behind me (as much fun as that was)

 

Basically figured out my plan for now:

8.8..cheap from the JY
4.56s
in the process of homebrewing a LA kit
33s
and rebuild the engine

 

broke my wheel bearings

 

New front u-joints and replaced pads and rotors while I was there.

 

40 Series Flowmaster, new tie rods, air filter, seafoam, oil change. Thats what I did the last two days actually, haha.

 

I cut the rear quarters, paints rocker pannels and fenderflairs black, found out I have 4.11 gears stock and found out that the "grinding noise was comming from my rear end.

 

dropped the head off for 3 angle valve job and resurfacing, put the HO head i bought up for sale since it doesn't fit on my 87.

 

I'm a 9 to 5er, so my work really has to wait until this weekend. My plans are to install a new 41 tooth speedo gear. Tired of going 65 mph and speedo buried past 85. I just had 4.88s and a lock-rite installed. The guy that owned it before me put a new speedo gear in for 33s and stock gearing, so that is why it is so whacked.

 

I installed 4 Hellas on the Surco and then went out and flexed it :-)

 

I stared at my crappy new tires. The thought of selling them for bfg's crossed my mind and i may do that...

 

Whats wrong with the tires (what kind are they)?

 

I have a Renix era XJ and today I replaced the plastic football tank in the coolant system. I put an aluminum tank with a real radiator cap. Still have to find a hose for the neck overflow.

 

more just what I found out today ... there's a wrecker/dealer/aftermarket supplier pretty close to me that only has jeep stuff. I'm sure that if any of you are from the Toronto area that you already know it, Just Jeeps, and if anyone from around me has first hand experience dealing with them I'd like to know how they are.
