I moved my iat into my cai adapter just drilled a slightly smaller hole then the factory hole in my intake manifold and extended the wires using the oem wires I snagged at the jy today. Also replaced my intake hose because I tore it a while back.

 

Picked up a full size spare on a jeep wheel. The donut that came with the jeep was way too small. Now I've got a decent jeep rim and a nearly new Goodyear wrangler sr-a 225 75/15

 

I redid my CVS hose and gave the engine bay a much needed bath









and my grandson gettin his drank on

 

Service on the Peep was shifted to the back burner early this morning when one of my girls called (5:30am) for Dad's Jeep Rescue Service. Turns out the Hello Kitty ZJ has a door latch anomaly. Well swap the XJ for the ZJ and she heads out for work, I bungee the door and head back to the family jeep salvage cave. Some metal alignment and clean up, tack in place, and carefully build up the metal tissue paper Jeep provided for door construction till we have a solid foundation. Some feathering of the welds and grind of the pockets for the screw heads, test fit and all is secure. Some blue locktite and finish off with a little gloss black. Wow, just like store bought. She returns the Peep in one piece and for my troubles I get the privileged of feeding her some BBQ and folding her laundry. Gotta love the kids.
Must admit she provided the meat that I am sacrificing on the barby.
Well the Peep will just have to pound the roads for another week before it gets a turn.

 

Washed it! And for some reason the rust did not come off, Dang it...

Also ordered a new radiator..

 

Took it out for a drive. Quite surprised at how well it did with no lockers.

 

So where's the pics of said trail

 

Washed it and it started raining half way throuh it.

 

I was so busy driving I didn't take any, and my co-pilot bailed

 

Drove home after running from Silverwood to Crab Flats yesterday. Conquered Dishpan Springs!

 

Since I have no pics, here's some vids. I don't think they do justice in showing the scale of the trail. Also, I learned 2 things.
1. My jeep is way more capable than I thought
2. I really should air down my tires
I'm a novice and this is the most intense trail that I've been on. So don't judge to harsh please


The Chevy was just a passerby

 

We all have to start somewhere.

Try airing down you'll be Amazed at what it'll do.

 

You rea my mind, that Chevy really needed to air down some to get a better grip. Best way to learn is through others lol.
