Oh boy thats a funsie.


I finished making my doors removable. There's a right way and a wrong way to do that. Now summer needs to get here so I can have fun with no doors

pulled my tranny and replaced my flex plate it broke in two.
new front axle seal and new oil
fixed all leaks too

 

I put new fuel pump, fuel filter, & fuel sender with new tank straps in 98 XJ today. Tryin to give her a little TLC next is alternator, starter & battery (Optima). I got a list a mile long maintence was seldom for my Jeep. When I bought it the hood latches had rusted/seized pulled so hard on release pulled it right out broken. Oiled latches got'em workin & drivers side let loose crossin Bay Bridge (MD.) bought 3 months later got hood pins now.

 

Not today but yesterday gave my dad a hand changing my oil (normally id do it on my own, but I have a bad sciatica so i cant be laying on the ground and moving)

 

Dropped in a new motor, bolted it up to trans, got new radiator in, starter back on, new plugs in, bolted on accessories, got exhaust bolted on, found crack on intake manifold....dang it! So close!!

 

stared at her...begged her to still have a good heater core when i flush it out.

 

Found out that previous owner decided rear brakes were an option. Half the parts are missing.

 

HAhhaa, welcome to my world. My rear brakes are FUBAR...and my driver's side axel bearing is shot...so i'm going to buy another rear D35 and part the current one so I have a spare yoke and axel shafts.

 

Oh well gives me the excuse to go ahead and rebuild them. All new parts goin on, maybe I'll have marginal braking power after this. Already put in new master cyl and booster, front brakes are decent.

 

Made some spacers to help support for the roof rack, Taping it off to paint the rack and top now..

 

Better than Not Finding It, !

Be a shame to cook a valve in that new motor Bro !!

But like you said, DANG !....It never ends does it ?

 

I did an 8.8 axles swap all day and all night...

 

Wouldn't start so I charged up the battery and had it tested, all good. Cranking hard but still won't turn over.
Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

 

Use a wrench over the hex portion of the shaft on the torx (sp?) socket? At least my set has a short portion. It would free up all the space that was taken up by the ratchet.
