What did you do to your XJ today

[olysteve]

Yep, that's about what it cost me yesterday, at costco no less!!
I swear the oil business is run by the mob anymore.

Rode it like the beast it is All day at TSF then parked it in the Cave!!

Well I think mine is not so much what I did to it today but what I did for it today, I went and helped get the motor that is going in it pulled out today and now it is sitting in the garage waiting for me to start working on it now.

I pulled my right rear axle shaft to fill the diff because I don't have a 9/16s Allen wrench to undo the fill plug. I also finished with my crossover steering and took it for s spin to the parts store. My eyeball alignment worked very well. I realized that I haven't done a tune up since may 07 so new cap/rotor plugs and wires tomorrow as well as an oil change since its been about a year (less than 1k miles though).

While I was sick with food poisoning, in between bathroom sessions, I made a harness for my H4 lights I scored from Branden.

Here are my new lights in the Jeep.

I feel your pain nick seeing it go make me hate that A$$hole that hit you too even more..

 

[Mnkyboy]

Wasn't much left of it,I figure when the chapter gets together most of the red jeep will be there. I know both of my jeeps have pieces from it.

Spent saturday and most of sunday trying to get the damn rear end apart. Finaly found a slide hammer i could use. Got it out and found this...

How the hell do you break a cross pin ?

anyway, Thank you Jason (Crazymoose) for delivering me a replacement ! you rock man ! Jeep is back on four wheels again. Just need to top off diff fluid in the morning and im good to go.

 

[crazymoose1990]

No problem Rod I know you would have done it for me buddy. I have no use for it at this point anyway. Yeah thats kind of crazy to break a cross pin. They do take alot of stress chirping tires you need to stop burning rubber on asphalt dude.

How the hell do you break a cross pin ?

If I remember correctly a lot of the factory cross pins are non hardened. Aftermarket hardened cross pins are available (Spicer?).

I replaced my front when I installed the locker, but neglected to do it for the rear. I guess we'll see which one last longer.

where'd you get it ? Six states ?

slept in till noon.

Modified my Vacuum disco so it is no longer vacuum actuated.

Woody's, but I guarantee Six States would have them. I remember doing a file test on it, and I couldn't mark up the "hardened" one, where as on the OEM I could file a groove in it.

How did the carrier look? I'm honestly surprised the cross pin let loose before the carrier cracked. Now you have me adding "replace rear cross pin" to the to-do list. :twak:

 

[mojojojo]

everything looked surprisingly good. A few very small chips in the pinion teeth from the cross pin making contact I assume. I expected a mess when i opened it up. but was pleasantly surprised.


Just hope i didn't miss anything.

and i really hope i don't regret not getting a hardened cross pin (that I didn't know existed till tonite)
