Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[thechief86]

dude, i think that tierod should be fine, but it'll prolly wear out tre's...
i took the motor out of the donor jeep and dropped it off at jacob's! for 60 bux, i got everything under the hood, including a trick throttlebody spacer from powerAid, an HO radiator, all the accesories, and some really neat billet aluminum spring spacers. i'll be replacing the poly ones with these

This is our second weekend of bathroom renovation. We're 90% done.

Oh, and got the MJ running. I plan on putting a whole new set of vacuum hoses in it in hopes it helps bring down the 1500RPM idle I have.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Learned today just how easy it really is to screw up the timing when removing the distributor...all to change the stupid gasket!

Finished up by driving to Winston for a few days to see the family. Plan to take advantage of the nice weather to get some little projects done on the Jeep.

What no rubicon?

hey if i could afford a rubi... it would be a done deal already LOL


well i took a look at it and everything looks good on it but there is a ticking sound coming from the engine... could be nothing... could be a knocking.... and we dont want that... so im having them have it checked out on monday before i say yay or nay on it

other than the ticking sound from the engine (which i dont know if thats some quirk of the 3.8L v6 and im paranoid or something bad... but everything looks good on it and a BONUS it comes with dual tops, didnt know that so thats a huge bonus for me.

I saw a piston rod from one of those engine. It was bent pretty good (sucked water in). The rod as big around as my thumb. Why did the 4.0 ever go away.

 

[xjtrailrider]

No ticking sound from our JK. It has 30k trouble free miles on it so far. The 3.8 is ok in the 2 door but its a dog in the 4 door unless you have a manual shift.

I just cleaned ours up today and removed the layers of salt. Its almost "top-off" weather:woohoo: We hit 60 here today, supposed to be even better tomorrow.

 

[dr_jeep85]

well, this is my first post. not my first jeep though. i bought this jeep from a guy for $300 replaced a locked up alternator (in his yard) and drove it home. this weekend is the first time i've had a chance to do anything to it, besides maintenance. i'm always working on other peoples junk. put it up on the rack pulled the tires and wheels and with some help from shaggybob we cut enough out of the femders to comfortably run 32x11.50s . life is good. for some odd reason i didn't take any before pictures but here are a couple afters.

Washed the salt and grime off the TJ from the Callalantee trip, applied a coat of wax and called it clean. Drove over to “Ghost” supply-house and acquired a fresher set of rear springs for the XJ (Old Blue), got a Rancho steering stabilizer outta the deal. Repaired one of his offices PC’s and split. Dropped off my goods at Lenny’s garage went through the other springs for the needed part to complete the “bastard-Pack”. Took a look under the front end and saw the tie rod between those 33X12.50’s. Smiled and thought “looks like a string hanging out under there. (Time to upgrade)

Went to Wooly's today. The D300 performed flawless. I do need to replace the steering box and passenger side axle shaft.

 

[ChuckstrPT]

Blew the passenger side wheel cylinder on my rear D44 climbing a nasty hill (dunno how they are related), had DrRandy get my brake fluid all over himself, and StumpXJ pound some brake line flat, and off we went...after lunch.

 

[Cnickgo]

Worked on interior stuff on the Jeep today. Replaced the fuse for my power seat, fixed my radio harness and replaced a couple bulbs, then pulled the headliner out and wired up my overhead console. Since I don't have power locks/windows I don't have the connectors, so I had to cut/splice and run to the fuse box. Hopefully tomorrow I can get fabric to do the headliner and recover the console, speaker bar, and visors.

I drove the MJ to the convenience center today.

And also went wheeling with Tyler today at Aetna in the ole SVT. Had a great time, but he definitely pushed the 30 to its limits... no breakage, but I swear I heard it begging, no, SCREAMING for mercy a few times!
