Got a ticket in it. They tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty

 

Nothing much other than installing a rear view mirror. Before you asked, it came with one, but wasn't on the windshield anymore. I had to glue it back (for the second time) Previous owner glued it, but as soon as it got too hot, the glue became liquid again and it fell off. I used the proper glue this time and it looks like it will stay on now.

 

I checked my injector wiring and found out that I had switched cylinders 1 & 2 and 5 & 6 when I installed the new injectors the day I bought it over a year ago, I can't believe how much better it runs now

 

Put in a new alternator last night. What a ***** that was. It's like 15 bolts to get that thing off.

Also putting 31x10.5 (15x10 cragar v-5's) on tonight. Post pics tomorrow.

 

put my cf sticker on and still waiting for my lift to come in

 

Towed my brothers VW rail buggy 30 miles from his house to mine. My grand doesn't like towing. 3.5" lift, 33" tires and no sway bars it did it pretty good but it liked to sway in the corners.


Taking them both to the ORV trails tomorrow. Should be a blast.

 

Drove 52 miles home from work without ever touching the brake pedal.

The rear lines are totally rusted out (truck is originally from PA) and I figured that they didn't have much longer to live. I was correct. As I was heading through the plant leaving work, the pedal went to the floor. I returned to my office to get some tools as I knew what had happened before even looking. The rust holding the brake fluid in had finally given up and released the pressure to atmosphere.

Already having planned to replace everything from the connection to the master cylinder back, I did my best to crimp off the line, but it still wouldn't hold, so, since I had repaired the E-brake when I first bought the Jeep, I headed out slowly.

I left plenty of room , (Hypermiling my Stratus - 42 mpg for a full tank with a 3.0L V6 - has given me plenty of practice for driving without using the brakes), went fairly slowly and cautiously and made it home without any drama.

Just got back from Autozone. $219 for every single part in the rear brake system including all the line and fittings. Drums, shoes, cylinders, all springs, pins, spreader bars, e-brake actuators, adjusters etc.

So at least I've got something to do on Saturday.

 

Are the hard lines pre-bent? If so, rock on!!

 

put on my new rc wheel spacers

 

Ordered new front U-joints and a 36mm socket.

 

Got my zone offroad 3inch add a leaf kit in with nitro shocks and a ss cant wait to put it on

 

i ran out of gas today in my xj, does that count as doing something to it?

 

i waited all day long for my KOR tb conversion. fedex decided to toy w/ me a little. it started @ 10:30a when i saw the fedex guy walking up the walkway towards my apt. as he walked past me to the apt. next door, i hung my head in disappointment. i waited until 2:15p, when i heard a big truck pull into the parking lot. it was fedex! my front door was wide open, my building & apt #'s clearly marked, yet they didn't even get out to look for my apt before he started up & took off! i chased after him for about a block, but he was gone. after checking the tracking # online, it said that "customer was unavailable/business was closed". i immediately called fedex, and they said that there was nothing that they could do other than "attempt" to deliver it again today or wait until tomorrow! it was a beautiful day here on the far north coast of cali, but i didn't get to do anything but wait. i watched 3 more fedex trucks go by & then i had to go to work. (guess i should've chosen a better shipping option....but @ least while i was waiting i found my soldering gun & solder to hard-wire the new turn sig. mod. & stereo amp leads.)

 

Nah. I've already got a double flare set and tubing bender so I just bought a 25' coil of 3/16" tube for $18.
