Yea well it was the new old pos ps pump so back to the original pump that works just fine. Not a bad Easter Sunday to work on the Jeeper now that its a bit warmer. Now if I can get the yard to give me a credit for the pump it'll be worth the aggravation and ill have scored a free set of hoses.

Replaced my worn out (150,000+ miles) original suspension; shocks, springs, links, stabilizer in the front and leafs and shocks in the back. I decided to jump in with a Teraflex 1.5" budget lift because that's all I can afford right now. I have a vibration now I need to work out.

I did my cowl snorkel mod today. Cost me the price of a 3" hole saw and arbor about $20, and some 3" RV sewer drain pipe from Wal Mart $3.50.

Actually after I got it all back together I realized I didn't seal off the other end of the box lol. I'll do it tomorrow. The only holes I plan to leave open is the drain holes in the bottom of the box.

Did the radiator after discovering what seemed to be a leaky hose, turned out the whole side of the radiator was rusted. Replaced both U-joints on the drive shaft, she runs like a different vehicle, strangely.

Gotta put RTV on the hole in the box for the pvc pipe and the cowl hole itself.

Almost rolled my comanche. Hit some puddles in the road along the humps from trucks and lost traction spinning it sideways. Comanche decently needs new tires. All this during a sudden downpour about 2 miles from my house.

All the trim was faded and just looked like crap. Im amazed with how well this turned out. Taped, sanded, prep wipe and then duplicolor truck bed coating.
