I done the window switch bypass today. I only had control of all the windows because the Lock switch has a bad short in it. So I installed the jumper wire so I never have a problem with people needing to roll there window down

 

Do you have a write up on this? I have the same problem.

 

All you gotta do is put a jumper wire from the Tan Wire on one plug to the Yellow wire on the other plug.

Replaced the viscous fan clutch (took 15 minutes and really keeps the temps down at the stoplight.) Also, finally hooked up the trailer brakes and tested them out with the trailer. MUCH easier than I thought it would be! With the time left over, I even gave the ol' girl a bath - she needed it!

 

I like the stock wheels painted black. Find some stock black caps to replace the silver ones. Nice job.

Yesterday welded up a rack for the back compartment, then went camping.
Watched as my alternator went out.
Today took apart the netural position sensor to clean it.

 

well i took off my flares today idk what else to do working on getting a new front bumper

 

I drove it through 2 feet of mud and spent an hour getting mud out of the wheel wells

 

Started to hear that annoying exhaust leak a couple of weeks ago and found a small crack in the exhaust pipe right where it exits the cat. I crawled under it today to weld it back together and I'm glad I did'nt wait any longer. The crack had grown to 3/4 around the pipe and had started to crack on the front side of the cat.



The split at the back of the cat

 

Tested out the new 33's.......

 

almost finished installing my front tow hooks (thanks to COSXJFAN for those). just need to get a few more grade8 bolts cause the stock ones are a little too short.

 

checked plugs, found a major problem with steering, (from someone doing a lift and having no clue how to), replaced both headlights and cleaned the inside and gave it a bath!

 

Those look like stress fractures from the pipe being held up there by maybe... a shorter tailpipe hanger than there should be?


Lifted the back and started work on the front. The front passenger LCA bolt got tweaked up and spent the remainder of the day trying to fix that. Worked until about 9:30 with a sawzall to cut the bolt off, only got one side of the bolt done and most of the way through the passenger side.

Two things to say about this: A sawzall really does saw all... even grade 10.9 bolts. Also, if a project goes too smoothly, keep your eyes open. Something else is soon to go wrong elsewhere.

 

License plate light is out and I replaced it with a new bulb and the fuse is good. Found a dead wire and followed it to my left tail lights. Wire is still bad so I will have to follow it.
