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

[userbmx1315]

got a new (to me) jeep.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Worked (read: mainly stood around and BS'd) on Jamescad04's exhaust for his newly acquired S10 Friday night. Worked the first half of Saturday and drove to Winston after work to put brakes on mom's Jeep. Spent today in the mountains of VA and NC cruising up and down the parkway.

Killed the t-case in my buddies samurai

 

[Wwildman]

Well today I picked up the rest of my stuff for my axle swap . tomorrow I will swap out the weak DANA 35 for a 29 spline 8.25 that I put ZJ rear disc brakes on and install a boster and master upgrade :clap:

 

[mflueras]

Me: Installed a Rusty's T-case skid, used a piece of 30x10 of wood as base for my compressor and air tank, started the re-wire of the ARB and OBA, started the install of my "new to me" RE Drop Brackets.

took dog for a walk,
reached into Jeep for sweatshirt (kinda cold out),
dog saw and took off after little yapper dog,
think I hyper-extended my neck when it hit the "B" pillar:rattle:
can't turn my head left/right more than about 15* either way.


thank goodness it was the little mutt not the big girl!!

big girl:

I never realized I could reach the front bumper with my left hand when my head was in the back seat!!

 

[Ghost]

REplaced a VSS on a ford windstar.... that sucked! Still did not fix the speedo... REplaced some bulbs for the sis in law at the father in laws office... laundry and watched movies with the boys on Saturday night.

Can't wait to get home...oh yeah, the jeep has a blown motor.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

...oh yeah, the jeep has a blown motor.

Which one and what caused it to blow?

I have no idea. there's oil pressure, and a bad knock. it'll have a 4.6 by mid December. Tyler will probably clue me in to what's wrong with it. I've only been home 4 days since late August so I have not looked closely at all.

well blown isn't the right term. how about "it has a knock that keeps getting worse, which sounds suspiciously like a rod or 2" and I don't have time to fix it. So it's going to get built.

Hack n Tap? Or did you replace the output shaft???:cheers:

hmmm...how's the oil look? There may be pressure but is it enough pressure? Wondering if the head cracked...

 

[Joshooha]

working on my swingout carrier and blew out my knee. Now I can't walk properly!

 

[trail rate this]

Carved two pumpkins with my daughters. swapped the interior in my Jeep. Welded some perches on an 8.8.

 

[Mr.Shrek]

Pumpkin patch with the fam and church, 80th birthday lunch fro Fiona's great aunt, Cub Scout hike/treasure hunt, geocaching with the fam sunday, chores, dropped the motor off at the machine shop, and beat up the brother in-law to do his homework.

Replaced the shaft with a crown HD and I'm running a stock front shaft with it. I thought about cutting/drilling/tapping the stock shaft for a hack and tap now that it is out, but I don't know if I will be that bored in the near future. Took me about 6 hours to get it done, but that was with two trips to the parts store.

There was a slight drop in pressure but it held. I didn't drive it though to the house, my sister did and that's what she said. I pulled it in the garage and took the valve cover off. I've already decided to go with the stroker. So hopefully a new head will be on the motor during that work happening.
The oil looked like straight up crap. It was black after 4 hours after an oil change and looked like someone dropped a box of glitter in it. Something went away and it's no good now. It'll come back better faster stronger.

Bigger Better Stronger Faster... Those are the 4 key words in any automotive sport just about.

 

[kf_chris]

Those are key words for me man. I can't wait to put that 300+ lb/ft to the test.
