Will post pics tomorrow, Replaced clutch master cylinder and bled. Clutch works like new now. I couldn't get tom the bleeder screw on the slave, so I cut a 6x10 hole in the passenger side tunnel/ floorboard. Boom! The slave was so easy to get to. Also, the Clutch master rod wasn't exact to fit on the pin. Had to improvise ( Drilled it a bit bigger). It fit great, nice and snug.

Lot of grumbling and growling out back, excessive axle push pull movement. New Rear Bearings and Seals kit(SKF) Packed em well with high quality wheel bearing grease. What is on them out of the package is just for shipping purposes. Got over 300Km from the last set.
That's 616600+ km on a Dana 35, the 3:55 gears, pinion and carrier bearings in the pot are original.

Removed the front bumper caps and relocated the vacuum ball to the firewall in preparation for installing front bumper on Monday. Still need to move the horns, I don't think they will clear. Also need to trim or remove inner fender, but I ran out of daylight.

Changed the rear main seal in a buddys XJ, gotta finish up a couple little things on it in the morning. Started gathering up some steel for some little projects I have in mind for mine, like extending the bumpstops for the 33's, planning on building a winch bumper, and took the roll pan hitch off my Silverado, hoping to cut it down and make it into a hitch for my XJ that will be tucked up behind the bumper so I dont lose any clearance on the rear of the Jeep (planning on cutting a square hole in the middle of the rear bumper for the receiver to poke out of, so the hitch will be completely hidden, but still fully functional).
So, didn't do much actual work on mine today, but came up with a few good projects to tackle very soon.

was driving it on my way to get some oil and it developed a huge miss to the point of being powerless, i limped it home and cursed it, i hope it wasn't the new plugs but that would have happened immediately...right?

swamped it at prairie city in the sluice box ...got pulled out by a V6 ZJ

this was about an hour after I rescued some mistubishi SUV thing with my ZJ.

Didn't hydrolock, but...we'll see. Might be time to keep some parts and toss the rest

Killed the electric seats of course.

V6 zj? Is that a spelling error?

Used it to pull home the 09 jk. Stupid thing has computer problems. Gauge was bottomed out and fan roaring, motor cold as it could get.
