I drove with my gas light on for about 50 miles.. took a long time to fill it back up!

 

Swapped out the stupid idiot light gauge pack for a normal one, now I can tell what rpm I'm at. I also had to get the plastic panel that goes around everything. The best condition one I could find at the JY was wood grain. It's cheesy, but I kinda like it.

 

Woodgrain is kewl!!!

 

Took apart my drivers side hub assembly and ruined the wheel bearing in the process due to how stuck it was in the knuckle. Went to do the same to the other side and snapped a bolt...went to try the other two and they both are going to snap. What makes things better is you cant find the bolts for sale anywhere other then a junkyard and the axle nut on the drivers side was a completely different size and thread type then a regular cherokee axle shaft nut so now I need to try to dig one of those up in a junkyard somewhere. This Jeep is going to kill me...

 

Replaced both busted motor mounts. In the process found out I had to remove the oil filter resulting in "I might as well change oil and filter" which turned out oil filter housing had to come off cause it was still blocking the bolt from sliding out of the motor mount which resulted in finding 3 new O rings the parts stores had no listing for.
So.. It's all fixed now and I removed a lot of factory accessories from under the hood that are pointless on a off road rig.

Hears my old mounts. Enjoy

 

installed my BB and flushed the power steering.

 

I put some new shiny wheels on it. 16x10 4"bs rockkrawler 52s. Taking spacers out of front, shackle relocation, and dropping down to stock shackle. Should put me around 6"

 

Drove it through a muddy field. The mud didnt last coz it rained. but I finally tested my 4 wheel full time. Works great. Even though i really didnt need it all that much...

 

Man that thing looks totally different without the moabs on it

 

I know!i have to get used to it. I just got tired of them rubbing everywhere. Didn't care for using spaces either. Piece of mind

 

Went junkyard shopping for her

 

Changed valve cover gasket
refreshed trans fluid
painted bumpers and all trim black

Realized that instead of patching my drivers rocker panel, I'm going to have to replace the whole panel

 

snapped the yoke on my front driveshaft/tcase..

 

Made up a grill guard for my bumper. Used 2 inch dom 8th inch thick tubing. Then welded it all together. Call it my deer elk moose tree Honda killer lol.

 

Not the prettiest but man that this is tough lookin. id run a tree over to test it out.
