My key fob is supposed to have a mile range, but it doesn't. Will usually work from a good way off though.

 

hah.. mine never was any good further then 20 feet from the vehicle. Then, one day, I took the fob surfing with me. Four hours of salt water and getting knocked around by the waves. And the insides of that fob were ruined.

Now I just use my fingers to unlock the doors.

 

I swore at my Jeep... then I whispered sweet nothing's to it... then I swore some more... then I just gave up and learned to enjoy the new death wobble.

 

Little out with the old in with the new today.

 

Little more out with the old and in with the new. There is nothing wrong with that old alt but it is going to my guy to get rebuilt and get the amps uppped.

 

Took the kids out, wheeled it for about 3hrs straight. Creekbeds, steep climbs/descents, slowly navigating through trees, whole 9 yards.

It was 104 outside today. Running the AC the whole time. Max temp was 174(digital guage, verified accurate with IR).

Huh.

Dont get me wrong, lol, its very reassuring. But wrong. And not doing my gas mileage any favors.

My always-on aux fan(on the list to be fixed) is obviously part of the problem. But the thermostat seems to be opening around 170. So that needs to be changed.


LOL its really weird being in S Texas and complaing that my jeep is running too cool.

 

Cause it's not 210 outside yet... lol

 

Lol "yet" being the operative word here.

 

110 with your humidity would be 210 for me... lol

 

ujoint spit out a cap and bound up taking out the ears. Also got a nasty dent in the rear quarter

 

Perfect time for ChroMo's

 

If you're paying, Yes. If I'm paying, no. I'll just get another $20 shaft.

 

So it is supposed to be hot and humid today so thinking just putz around with the Jeep. Got a lot done yesterday. Sprayed some white lithium on the safety latch for the hood. It has been sticking a little lately and hit the other springs and the latches up front. Topped off the overflow tank a little. Changed one of nylon cable clamps that my overflow hose runs through. I used a smaller size on one location and a bigger size on the other two. Been meaning to swap out the smaller one forever. Have come to the conclusion lately that one of the best tool purchases I have made is my little magnetic wand. Being older I have problems with my hands. Been dropping crap more and more lately. The magnetic wand has been bailing me out more and more lately. LOL.

 

Get some plate and weld over the years after you install the u joint. It'll strengthen the shaft and get rid of the weak points of the ears

Drove around with my not so matched half doors for the first time. More paint and some bedliner!

 

Got the MJ running, not great but it runs so I can move it around, with some spare parts from a 95 YJ 2.5L.
