Most likely an issue with Tapatalk/iPhone, but with the new iPhone XS Max, I cannot get the keyboard to disappear so I can view the option to post a photo. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alternator went out, so I thought I’d go ahead and upgrade. 145a from a Grand Cherokee. Little (lot) of grinding on the brackets, some 1/0 wire and it’s good to go. ....edit. iOS12, iPhone xs max, I can’t get the keyboard to go away so I can post a picture, any ideas? Sent from my iPhone...

Not exact, but looks close to these.... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F161755605909https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F161755605909

Out here today finally addressing the shaft. Shaved down the wrong side of the cross pin that holds in the shafts. I feel like a dummy for missing it both when we milled it down & when I put it back together I should have caught it. Live & learn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

Edit. Double tap.

Sounds just peachy keen fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Someone else asked the same thing, I’m not sure on can count. I can account for 22 cans, but I thought I bought just full 6 pack cases at Home Depot when they came in stock- that’s all my local store kept on shelf at a time- which means I should have had 18 or 24. Sent from my iPhone using...

Same here. Probably wouldn’t have chosen the khaki color either, but the super flat made it go on ridiculously easy & should be just as easy to touch up later on down the road. In the rustoleum super flat colors you’ve only got are two shades of tan & OD green, at least that’s all that’s...

Then I test drove it about an hour ago. Less than 1.5 miles up to gas station. Something doesn’t feel quite right. I catch right off I need to rebleed the brakes, pedal is too spongy. And it’s been a couple months since I last drove it, but after going from 29’s to 33’s, and losing the...

Today was quite eventful. Got 6/7 items checked off the list of critical items before first test drive. Still need to relocate vacuum canister. But it’s ready to go finally, including cut rear fender and cut-n-folded rear quarters. Really pleased with how the rear cuts turned out, took my...

It cleared, got a little while today to mess with it and did a driveway alignment, no issues I can tell. I may have to shave a 1/16th or so from the swaybar bracket where the grease fitting grazes it. It’s probably fine but I’d rather get it out of the way than leave it. Steering is from...

And go figure, unless I see an issue I can’t find out here at 3am with tired eyes and no lights, the 1.5” utk 1-ton steering clears a SOLID diff cover. I never thought it would, but hadn’t addressed it yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it’s been a while, but finally making a little headway again. Both axles back under Jeep after going to 4.56’s, and just tonight I’ve gotten 1-ton steering bolted on, just need to do an alignment when it’s daylight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I also finished my rattlecan respray over the weekend. I’m super pleased with how well it turned out in color, coverage, and overall appearance. The red was in pretty rough shape. Lots of oxidation & clear coming off, and I didn’t need a lot of excuse to want to paint it anyway. Did my...

Today’s fun project, trying to tap out my forward leaf spring nut. Rounded it off removing it when my leaf spring sleeve tried to come out with the bolt. Made a nifty tool to fix that issue, ground down a prybar crowbar to fit the bolt snug and not leave clearance for sleeve, and boom. Out it...
