No big deal, I'll pay for them because I wanted them and I don't want to steal anything. Messaged the seller asking if they were in stock and he said yes. Then sent him a picture of the shipping label to see if it was his company's. Haven't heard anything back. Guess they're free.


Woo-hoo

Nothing really, just tossed my balljoints into the shop freezer. Couldn't find my old press, so ran down and picked up a Harbor Freight special.

Installed my Boostwerks t case linkage(231 w/drop). it took me 3hrs to do only because i have limited use of my left arm, but it felt awesome to be able to work on the Jeep. I will do some final adjustments tomorrow when i get daylight again lol.

Could be a failing crank position sensor.

couldn't get 1 nut on my seat bracket, so I took the bracket off the floor and did it upside down, then bolted the whole one piece back to the floor.

Congratulations, it sucks when you can't do what you want because of illness and injury.

Thanks Cliffy, I am still very very limited on what I can do, this was at the high end of my limits. Hey it's a start, this is 3mo post injury and 1mo 5 days post elbow replacement, so I say im doing pretty good.

Bought a used Yakima Wilderness rack and mounts that needs a little work, and a couple of used WJ drive shafts that I plan to rebuild.

I'll second that, this coming from a dude that just went through a second hernia operation. The first time I didn't have any time to recuperate and I felt the mesh implant fail at work.
