Installed a new drivers side window regulator and motor. Also went to the local junk yard and picked up 4 door lock actuators. None one mine worked and had that goose noise. Now they all work and are sooooo silent. However, now i have to figure out why my AC doesn't work and the electrical fan wont come on.(fan relay under headlight is good). Along with the rear hatch actuator not working. Does anyone know the pin-out voltages for that plug?

ew. We do not need to know what your rear look like. If it is that bad, go to a doctor.

Replaced the oil pressure sensor/ sending unit thingy. It failed on me while on a long traffic-y drive and I did a slight panic for a few miles.

It had failed so catastrophically that oil was being ejected out the rear of it.

Would have liked to have put in a MOPAR unit but thankfully NAPA is open late.

Did some research on different shocks for my YJ, but I can't make any decisions til my buddy welds the new F-250 towers onto the frame. The front will replace the factory mounts, and the rears will be frenched into the frame so I can outboard my shocks (and thereby also run longer travel shocks) with the Ford 8.8 out back.

I'm also seriously considering a trip to the local transmission shop (small, reputable shop) this time. After pulling the transmission four times to finally get the rebuilt one installed properly, the rebuilt trans is slipping. I don't have the spare time or the place to work to go about pulling and reinstalling it again.

Default Gallagher Lake in Washington

Hey everyone!

First post for me.

We went up NF-160 in Cle Elum, Washington to enjoy the 4x4 only trail and camp at the lake.

Although we could not get there due to a massive tree being knocked down and I forgot my chainsaw. Wanted to be the first one up this year. We'll shoot for next week.

We messed around in the river at the lower end.

These are from Hyline! And they're awesome. I installed them because I wanted the temps to be a little cooler while trail riding and it never gets too hot now.

Yeah, it's taken me a while to stop referring to it as Discount.... still known as Discount by members of my close family though (southerners )

Welcome to the forums! That looked like a blast! I definitely want to venture out that way one day. Such nice forests out there.

Got rid of the old metal trim and had a new windshield installed with the rubber gasket instead! Is it just me or does this gasket look a little wide
