I switched to 75/140 years ago it seems to displace heat better.

 

Exactly It doesn't really bother me cause I got the low intensity, not the super bright stuff then I could see how that would be an issue with your eyes

 

Getting ready to cut fenders for bushwackers!

 

Its funny you mention night vision. A few years back, we converted all our helicopter for Night Visions instrument flying. Believe or not, we went from red to the old seventies green dash (every single light in the aircraft was replaced). The pilots report that it is way better when flying at night with or without NVGs. They report having to strain less and have more "relaxed" eyes after and during flights.
I am not sure if the same spectrum of green as cars but from the naked eyes, it looks exactly the same green. Who would have thought. That green was probably not random after all on cars.

 

Well took the time to finaly change my front and rear diff oils...I dont think its ever been done and the jeep has over 166k on it lol the old oil was pretty gunky and smelly but cleaned and inspected everything and looked great..I put some royal purple in it so lets see how it does lol

 

I hope it was "smelly" its gear oil. Its suppose to be smelly.

doesn't royal purple smell?

 

Looks good




I run the cheap stuff from O Reilly

 

Anything synthetic is better than conventional.

If you want it to run today, buy the cheap stuff.
If you want it to run for a long time buy the good stuff.

 

Got a basket for the jeep today, also picked up Dupli-color Bedliner and a new 10" planet audio sub.

 

Is that the $99 one from Walmart?

So I attempted to move my vacuum canister and while doing it I moved some vacuum lines around ....bad idea my ac now blows from the defroster only wth... I checked all the lines and everything seems fine....there was some check valves on the lines can they be the cause of my issue?? Can they be put in backwards???? Does it matter what way they go?????or should I just rip the lines out get some rubber tubing and just replace them???? Any suggestions

 

Start from the firewall and work your way out. I'd check the single black line at the firewall and if you did alter the check valves maybe start by swapping the first one and check again. There's only 2-3 vac lines with check valves so I'd say it could be figured out in 5-10 min.

 

got a custom fit rubber cargo area liner for $13 from the junk yard. It had a transmission sitting on it, but it cleaned up nicely with some dish soap and ammonia.

and saw these interesting things

saved this off a XJ before it goes through the crusher

 

What did the plug go to on that rack? Looks thick like an extension cord

 

Stripped the lines coming off the Master cylinder while trying to change it out as quick as possible. Had to go to 2 parts stores to find the proper fittings. I knew nothing about the brake fittings and neither did the guy at O'Reilly. The guy at Napa helped me find adapters to use standard fittings now not the 2 different factory sizes they used on the 88 Master cylinder and prop valve.

Finally got a moment after midnight to throw it in and connect my lines. That went well, everything's back together and just needs to be bled now. I'll get to it tomorrow morning.
