Yea I'd say that's pretty badass

 

thanks man!!!!

 

Got all the old components I need from my old axle FINALLY out and on my new one, mounted the shocks and coils then after a week of torching and slamming frozen bolts with a BFH the new axle is finally in. Just have to put gears in tomorrow and give her an alginment and shes ready for the road.

 

Installes my pa speaker

 

well over the past week i had a small electrical fire that caused me to have to rewire the entire front end, took me three days of non stop work 6 hours a day, then i got my roll bar and tool box mounted, put lights on the roll bar, got new two inch coil spacers that are goin on tomorrow, oh and put in a new headlight switch and brake switch, finally gunna b running again after a week... heres some pix lemme know what ya think of her so far

 

Fixed my adjustable trac bar end. Broke while I was on a bumpy road today in town. Luckily I was able to pull into a parking spot at my work. The piece that the crown nut goes on snapped because it was faulty. Went to the local Napa store. They had 2 in stock so I said "give me one right now and a grease gun please" So about 15 minutes of work, got back on the road.

the one day I didnt have my tools with me, something breaks. Also had to reschedule my smog appointment, which was at 2 today but the end broke before that. So tomorrow gettin the XJ smogged.

 

I got it running again after it randomly decided to not start. I haven't had ANY OTHER problems with it starting in the past 10 months.

it rained really hard the other night and I had my first day of "real" work at my new job the next morning, go figure on my first day the Jeep wouldn't start, but would crank.

I diagnosed the problem and came up with no spark, but fuel and compression.

My coil is under warranty so I went to advanced and exchanged what I thought was a bad coil for a brand new one. Put it in and still no start. started to suspect the CPS, but before going through the hassle of replacing that I decided on a whim to check the coil ground to the block. The electrical connection was shoddy at best, so I sanded the mounting bracket to shiny metal, and viola it started. Took about 30 seconds of cranking to burn off the excess fuel in the cylinders though.

Moral of the story: Hood vents + heavy rain = no bueno for electronics. Time to find another hood, do lebaron vents and drip pans.

 

I've often wondered about this when dreaming up future projects for my jeep. I have wanted to do hood vents for a while (just no time with wife and kids and work). The reason being is I get so much heat when wheeling that all the paint on my hood has cracked and its starting to rust. If lebaron vents hold out the weather guess that's the route ill go. The last thing I want is it to rain on my engine.

 

I installed my CB today.
I removed my radio and put the CB in its place.



I couldn't decide were I wanted the mike mounted
so I just hung it around the rear view mirror



Now I need to figure out a better way to run the
wire for my antenna.

 

glad to see I'm not the only one who throws trash on the floor!!

pulled the radiator %95 of the way out til i realized i need some for special tool to pull of the line from the bottom of the resivour on the drivers side (bottom Line) So... now i'm in a holding pattern til my new one comes monday morning.

 

You shouldn't need any special tools to remove the radiator.

 

Took out my old gears and hubs/axle shafts and carrier and rear pinion in my old axle, found that the bearings were completely shot then did the same with the axle I have now mounted underneath the jeep and swaped the gears, luckily the carrier with the 3.55's on it had good bearings so after everything was torqued down just put it back together. Just have to add diff. fluid and put my hubs and steering components back on and im good to go.

 

you swapped gears between axles without having the new-to-that housing ones set upp? bad idea.

 

LOL Thanks Shane, makes me feel better knowing there's atleast
one more person that does that.

 

Replaced the oil with some Castrol high mileage and a Lucas additive, spilled some oil, placed kitty litter on the oil. Lol
