Looking forward to this weekend I have a member coming over and we will be removing and installing a 4" iron rock lift. He gets the rough country lift for the effort. Win/Win.

Flew to Detroit to head to a customers job site for the day yesterday. Played around on this switch for a couple hours then flew home. Left the house at 4am, got back in right at midnight.
It was 15* and snowing pretty much all day, with a 20mph wind that brought the windchill down to negative numbers. We'd get little 10 minute breaks where the sun would come out, but that would make it snow even harder later on. It's not very fun standing in a bucket 100 feet in the air when the weather's like that.

I got bored and decided to paint some random stuff on the Jeep. The clear was peeling all over the fenders so it looks much better now, IMO.
I've always liked this paint scheme. (Poor folk body armor)
Everyone keeps telling me I need to paint the rest of the doors.
"It looks like the doors came from a different Jeep."

IMO, they're right. But maybe you like the Xterra/Aztek look :dunno:
I think if you painted the top of the grille red to keep the black/red body line going all the way around the front and painted the doors even with the fender and rear quarter it'd look awesome.

Mark and I decided earlier in the week that we needed to make a run the Express Pull N Save in LaVergne. He needed "moral support" while getting some parts he needed for a future project so I figured while there, I might get a replacement door for the one I crushed at the Crawl last year.
There was a chance of a "wintery mix" Saturday am, but there were just a few flurries out when I got in my car. The closer I got to Murfreesboro the more the flurries turned into snow and the more and more it was sticking to everything. I continued on.
By the time I got close to Mark's the roads were solid white and slick as boogers. I saw multiple wrecks including a nice WJ that had rearended somebody hard (We'll probably see it soon at the PNS).
We went on the EPNS and were some of just a very few people there and they were mostly employees. We went looking for a door and transfercase. We checked a bunch of vehicles and soon found there was more we wanted.
I scored a replacement passenger fender but was unable to find a decent door. I also got a set of really clean 8.8 axle shafts from a 1997 Explorer. Mark found a NP-231 t-case, an 8.8 open differential case w/spiders, and a set of doors with manual windows for another project he is working on.
There was more stuff I'd like to have bought but I felt good when we started but was beat by the time we were done. I'm really sore today so I guess I overdid it. I ended up being a little more than moral support, getting down on the ground and I think that helped do me in.
But it sure felt good to wrench on something and score some great parts.

I've been sick all weekend with a nasty sinus infection. I did manage to get the 94 back together from the door hinge repair. i also fixed a couple of issues with it as I went. I put in a bigger battery tray out of a newer XJ so I can run the bigger battery, fixed the underhood light, the drivers side door pin switch(now the dome lights and buzzers work again) and fixed the broken headlight adjusters. The door hinge fix went good, easier than I anticipated.

Glassmasters finally refunded my son's money for the wind shield issues. After 4 wind shields and they all leaked, he got one put in by a local independent installer that specializes in leaks(he has diagnosed several leaks in my 90 XJ) and now there are no more leaks! Glassmasters refunded what he paid them then made up the difference that we paid the local independent installer. I guess not so bad after all.

Eric And I got the lift put on, I started on gutting and stripping the interior. Also Eric welded up my exhaust. Later I felt good enough to start grinding the floors and prepping to cut out the holes.

had fun man! i'll get that little gap i missed when i come back. i just couldn't see under there very well once the droplight crapped out
thanks again for the lift, man! you know it will be put to good use! i can't wait to get mine stuck together so we can get out in the woods! well, that sums up what i did this weekend, lol. jeff's jeep turned out really sweet looking with the new lift, but we still have some rust repair to do, and a misfire to figure out. cylinders 1, 3, and 4 are not functioning at all. when we unplugged those injectors, it didn't change how the jeep idled, but it stopped backfiring, and those three sparkplugs are very black from excessive fuel, but not from oil.
the jeep sat for a very long time, to the point that we had to replace the fuel pump, and replace the fuel with gas that hadn't turned to varnish. i'm thinking that those injectors are stuck open or something, letting way too much fuel into those cylinders? i hope we can get it figured out soon so we can get this jeep going!

Went to Boone, ate at some of my favorite spots, hung out with my sister, played in the snow, hung out with Tim and friends, overall had an absolute blast. Just sent an email to possibly acquire a Comanche for DD. Major fingers crossed.

Went to Hale Mountain ORV for the first big event of the year there. It snowed/sleeted all morning, then promptly melted.......making that place a muddy mess. Then camped with my daughter on the campground, woke up on Sunday and went back out for a "last" ride.......only to break the track bar end. A quick run back to the camp ground for a new track bar end got me back on the road and to the house. It was a load of fun.

Looks like the XJ is going back to the states once I can get the brake booster installed. Got myself a $500 Suzuki Baleno station wagon. 230k km, one working window (rear driver, one speaker, two working door handles (both driver side), and both mirrors are broken.

Haha... my wife had one of those while we were overseas. It was a good little car, and the only thing I had to do with it was replace a rear wheel hub/bearing. We stuck my roof top tent on the top of it and took a 5,000 kilometer road trip with it up through old Russia (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) and then took a ferry over to Finland to a R/C boat race I was in. Camped the whole way and had a blast!
At a rest stop in Latvia somewhere.
In Finland at the boat race.
