Removed the QD on the trans feed line and installed a compression fitting, installed the headlamp harness upgrade (big difference!), cleaned all the underhood electrical connections and applied dielectric grease, washed the engine bay and took it for a short drive.

 

finished up with a thursday through sunday project. not all day every day just when i had time in the evenings and this afternoon.

pulled everything out to replace the front axle seals. went pretty well. also changed the fluid in the rear end.

then I did the brake pad sliding points repair. or whatever you wanna call it lol. a few spots were worn down almost 1/8". ground clean, welded, ground flush and smoothed, painted, then greased lightly.

I drilled 4 tiny holes so I could reach the crossmember bolts with some PB blaster in preparation for replacement of the trans mount. and I will be installing my new set of Brown Dog engine mounts at that time. So I began soaking the bolts and working them a little bit back and forth till they were freed up then i soaked them again. I will get to that project before winter gets here

 

 

Looks awesome!

 

Traded an old engine block for an AX-15 and NP231.

 

Lol thanks

 

Nice!

Looks great Curry!

 

 

Was the np231 the one that was paired to that ax15?

 

Just got this roof basket

 

Few days ago did the wiring upgrade

 

Photobucket link, wait...do you actually pay for their third party hosting?

 

Nope

 

Made this:







I call it a Relay Trigger Supply Module. Basically supplies key-on power to up to five relays without splicing and screwing up factory wiring, and also has a 10 amp accessory port that can be used for more relay triggers.

 

I did the same thing a few days ago on my Comanche. Pretty straight forward job and well worth it.
