phil and the HEEP
hello all.
the story of "HEEP" starts a little over a month ago, when I get a call from a female co-worker that her jeep had "blown up" and she needed a tow home., and along the way she didnt stop saying how much of a "POS" that it was.So I offered her $400 and to my surprise she took it without any hesitation.... and after a quick root around under the hood and asking her what it kept doing( shredding belts and the batt never stayed charged... also it started to sound "like metal in a washing machine"... i determined that the alt had locked up
and boy did it vv
and here are pics of the day i got her
and the nasty interior shot
fast forward a few weeks, an oil change, a reinstalled rear hatch interior,
i scored this initial part of my master plan
for $50
im picking up this unused adj. tracbar and a set of ZJ coils( claimed to be "up country") with new isolators for $50.
more updates to follow.
anyone know how to tell if they are up country?
-phil-[/QUOTE]
they are 2" lift coils for the zj.
should i still get these or will they be way too stiff?[/QUOTE]
got alot of really cool things
carpeting(tan)
most of the interior plastic (tan)
a completely new(to me) hatch with defrost and the button to open it(big deal for me)
new tails
rear hatch struts
new seats this pic is with the fronts installed
and 8.25 and a dana30
and thats about it( i think)
i havent put on my new hacth yet ...thatll prolly be sundays fun time.
[QUOTE=trektrek;245185023]yes replacing the ALT. has fixed the problems that she had with it....... knock on wood
I hope to get my new hatch put on today along with maybe my BB but im not sure about that last one.
pulled the old POS pioneer headunit and wired in the unit i got from a buddy of mine and ... it ejects and recieves the cd but not display and no sound. any ideas?
also rear hatch will be going on in a few hours
how HEEP started the day
and for some reason the rear looks like poop in the shot but its really not that bad, on the plus side i have a wiper, defrost, and a lil opener ****.
