Went out to Table Mesa, desert area outside of town. Got to flex the stock suspension a bit. I think the Crappy Vacuum disconnect isnt working because I got stuck twice and dont feel the front axel engaging. Had to make a few side routes on a few trails because I couldnt get back the way I came without scaring the crap out of myself and almost flopping the jeep.

Also found a nice steel target silouhoette on a stand. Not a single soul insight for miles so I decided to take it. I look at it as "Cleaning up other peoples mess".

 

Removed the swaybar



Cut my bumper mount to make my tow hooks fit



This was green when i put this in there.....



I also removed the hood insulation and cut off the original license plate that got rusted on 20sumodd years ago. California jeep

 

FIFY

 

how important is the fuel tank heat shield?

 

Changed front and rear diff fluid

 

Uhh... You mean the debris shield that prevents it from being punctured by stuff on the road?

 

No, the shield between the tail pipe and the fuel tank that barely wraps around to the front of the tank.

 

Tried to install wheel spacers but my lug nuts were over torqued. Tried to loosen them up and they got rounded down.

Should have had them replaced by now...

 

Ah, right. Sorry about that. With a plastic tank, I wouldn't get rid of it. With a full tank of gas, though, the heat should easily dissipate before any harm can be done

 

Finished my Half Doors.

 

Ordered lift kit & related parts for Blue:-)

 

my "stable"

 

Bought it a mini shovel from tractor supply. Ready for the trails on my open axles now.

 

All in good humor lol

 

Wait, what? You put Dex Cool into a traditional green ethylene glycol system?
