got it inspected!!!!!!!!! i was worried it wouldn't pass because of a minor exhaust leak but the shop is very cool and let it go. i am so happy, that is what has kept me from driving it regularly

:che ers:


wwwwoooooohhhhhoooooooooo!!

 

Did an oil change today. Stripped and painted the roof last weekend.(Rattle cans)

Next weekend's goals:

Radiator Flush.

Second coat of clear on the roof.
Install home-grown high flow air intake.

 

New set of paws for my birthday!!! Went from Michelin X Radial Lt P225/75/15's to BFG TA KO 30 X 9.5's. Nothing radical but I really like it!!!

 

made a list of the little projects to start and finish tommorow on her.

 

For the last couple days iv been fitting my new tube doors(87 GMC Jimmy Spare tire racks) ha ha success

 

frikken tore the dash apart to find that short that keeps blowing my dash lights fuse. no luck yet.

 

this is what it looks like befor
and now has become this[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

 

maybe make the scoop a little shorter? i was thinking of doing that too, but only a couple of inches high. cool rig though!

 

I had the exact same problem. My short was coming from that light just underneath the steering column. Maybe you have the same problem? Easy enough to check without tearing anything apart. Good luck!

 

well today I vaccuumed, shampooed and cleaned the windows!

after that I worked on my stalling issues. Cleaned the throttle body, IAC, and TPS and still rough idling... after a couple of hours, I realized I never adjusted the TPS!!!! runs like a champ again!!!

Starting the change my mind about selling it for the cash...

drove it around the block to make sure everything works, made a list of a few more things that i might be able to fix before either i sell it or keep it! now its time to sit back relax and have a cold one!!!
She maybe 21 years old like her owner but shes gonna out live any of these plastic so called hybrid trucks!!! Real trucks use heavy duty METAL!

If I keep her shes gonna be sitting on 33s I got laying around in my garage!

 

took the control arms off to put my drop brackets on but it is such a ***** to get hte bolts to line back up that i left it sitting in the driveway half done. since its just a play jeep it can sit for a few weeks till i fell like putting it back together

 

just got back from George Washington National Park. it was closed, because some mud brains brought their offroad rigs on a license and insurance mandatory trails and ruined them.
anyway, we went through other trails on Blue Ridge Parkway and found a way to some of the trails.
what surprised me most is that, i was sure that my '04 dakota was gonna do better than my '99 XJ, but the 'ol girl proved me wrong. it did just as good as my dakota and when ground clearance was an issue, it put my dakota to shame. my buddy drove my dakota.

 

here are some videos!

 

Got her a little dirty.

 

i dumped 5 gall of super into her n charged the batt 4 once n 3 weeks n then moved her.. n listened to the subs kick to some bass check music.. then shut her off n walked away.. ; (~~
