35s

 

Damn, nice!

 

Picked up the rest of the parts I ordered yesterday and my two oxygen sensors. I now have almost everything I need to finish the work on the Jeep other than a 95 YJ brake hose and some hard line to run to the back. Oh I could use some nice rain free warmer weather too, but that is coming in a few days.

I also finished putting the interior back together aside from the front door panels. I haven't put them back on yet because I need to replace the front speakers. I am just going with a pair of cheap Scosche 5.25" because for the music I listen too high end speakers wouldn't make a difference other than the hole in my bank account.

 

Removed the AC from my '95, and it freed up some space under the hood. Removed everything except the evaporator and AC styled heater control. Heater works great, and it didn't cost that much to have the system evacuated and refrigerant recovered. Worst part of that was having to tow the thing to the shop and back. The extra space would be more noticeable on a '99 since it has an accumulator mounted up by the firewall, where the '95 had the receiver/dryer mounted low between the motor mount and alternator.

 

I just took advantage of the "Shocktober" deal monroe has at RockAuto and ordered sensetracs for the front and load assist coil overs for the rear. When I got home from work I noticed a puddle under the filler cap, my wife filled the tank, so it must have the infamous pump seal leak... sigh Ive already replaced more than I bargained for on this little jeep but hey, I get to brag that im in the 200k mile club

 

Just rolled 97,000 today. Mounted my tires and saw the FedEx truck should be here to today from IRO. And shocks came in.

 

I took the compressor the 2 lines and senor I belive

 

don't feel bad, salad, it was inevitable... Lol

 

I'll play the mileage game haha, my Renix turned over 300k last week.

 

Congratulations my friend! Hows she holding up?

 

A slow, laborious process for a ham-handed just barely a mechanic like myself, but replaced the alternator in my 97 Sport (282,000 miles). This is the third replacement over the last 8 years or so. Perhaps I should conclude that investing in a new, higher quality alternator (I have been using the 90-amp rebuilts from NAPA) may be a good idea next time.


This failed one never quit charging, but the check engine light would come on occasionally, and then very significant radio noise developed. All is good now.

 

Replaced the center console latch with one that isn't broken. Best $18 I spent this week.

 

Ouch. I call those "pocket parts"

 

i velcro taped mine lol was cheaper



today i installed some fog lights and a muffler, those $55 Walker mufflers from canadian tire are decent, sounds good and is direct fit/replacement. Needs some welding tho, leaking at cat
