Took the safari rack and brush guard off my crawler, put on my daily driver, had to custom fit my bumper to fit the brush guard. Pulled the starter and checked te cylinoid, swapped my hidden hitch for the Reese hitch mount from my crawler

 

Used her to tow my 87 Shadow(turbo) home this evening. Everything went smooth as butter. It's nice having my fast car finally home. Just gotta build the engine again and drop it in.(yes again, racing hardcore does that to your motors.)

 

Well being that its been really cold here and my battery has been dieing daily. It finally quit on me today. I went ahead and pulled my Yellow Top out of my wheeler and put it in the XJ. Not a problem starting anymore! First bump every time fires it up!

 

Replaced one of my low-beam relays after it stuck on overnight and drained my battery, then completely quit tonite, so I drove it home 'one-eyed'.

Note to self: do not mount relays upside down if they have a chance of getting wet.

 

Discovered a new trail we aptly named "the death of the wrangler" due to a wrangler engine flooding.

Got new trunk speakers

Organized dashboard.

 

Strap Towed it home 45 miles

 

why?

 

well i know it aint an xj but after being xj'less for two months i decided to buy a 90 mj comanche short bed 4x4 with the dana 44 with trac loc. all for a cool $800... sad part is its probably the best running jeep ive ever owned lol

 

Replaced my extremely muddy air filter. That's pretty much it.

 

rotated the tires.

bought a 89 yesterday with 184k on it. Straight 6 and has 4wd. and paid $375 for it

 

replaced power steering pressure line, fixed the little red wire behind the headlight(got mi brights back) ripped off the old rattling muffler and replaced it with a glass pack. filled it with gas AGAIN!!

 

Had the oil light come on and added some oil and now it seems to either be the oil pump or sending unit so this should be interesting.

 

wheeled it!

 

Discovered that my driveline vibrations are coming from the front driveshaft and not the rear after driving to my parent's house and back with the front out and hardly any vibes.

I also went to go look at a 35 spline D60FF out of a 97.5E350 that I'll be picking up later this week. The carrier bearings are toast but I don't really care because it'll be getting 4.88s so I have to swap the carrier anyways. That and its only 100 bones.

idiot lights SUCK!

 

Before you buy anything, put a mechanical gauge on the engine. MY sending unit was bad and it made my gauge read low. A bad sender could easily trigger a light.
