My boots were too swampy to deal with and I just said F-- it.
I usually put in earplugs when using a torch under the Jeep, I had a blob end up in my ear while I was cutting off a bracket a while back.

well after some discussion with my brother and getting a 4.0 from work i'll be doing a mild build on that and putting it in here soon.
his thread showing the work and info
http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1087751
rebuild head, minor porting, cam, higher compression, fresh rings and if the pistons aren't still good new ones too. new 4.0 only has about 85k on it but since this was from Adams 99 TJ it's been used well over the years.
earlier i picked up some steel from another member here for my rock rails
back hatch is stuck closed and i can't get it open, didn't bring a ratchet strap for the roof so... out the window it goes.
then stripped that 4.0 down to a block to check out how the inside looked... well hitting the rev limiter while the jeep is upside down may not be good for a motor
although it does look cool sometimes. we'll see how this weekend goes.

nah, i got it. i'm working on learning car audio and still have Ryans number so this won't be too hard. just have to wait on the new head unit.
looked into a few front end things as well tonight, should be half assing my english paper and comm project but nah.
mean while its nice out finally!!!!!!
what do most people do for front speakers when they take their doors off? i am thinking i'll add one under each front seat that i can plug in when the doors are off or maybe a front sound bar.

i want to get the kick panel enclosures, but they went from like 65 bucks a pair to just over 100 a pair. i still might get em eventually, depends on what i do with my tube work... i kinda wanna add something to tie the B and A pillars together in some sort of door-friendly door bar.

Basically, these, but find some cheaper ones.

well last week i started getting a little death wobble so i figured i needed ball joints. jacked it up and both tired were sloppy as hell, looked at the upper and noticed it was very lose and hand tight.
just by hand i can do this, also rotate it completely
pulled up
where i'm at now is the point of no return so the only thing to do in knurl it.... by hand
in no way is this really right but hey it works and my only option, however the ball joint kit we borrowed doesn't have a sleeve that fits over the ball joint. need to make something up tomorrow or see what we have at work, however i can't get to work as the Jetta tranny is, well not sure but i can't drive the thing haha. tranny swap in that thing tomorrow.
what can i do to fix my ball joint problem? the axle knuckle is worn out but only in the camber play while caster is still tight.
