Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
Unfortunately it looks all too similar to the MJ I picked up about a month ago. The exhaust pipe fell off the cat when I unbolted it from the manifold. Hooray for no emissions checks in OK if I ever get it running again.

Did this...
then drove it around the block. Parked it, turned it off, tried to start it, and nothing. It'll get a new battery, some gas, an oil change, and maybe front springs once I get paid.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
They did their job. It still got hot, and the aux. fan had to kick in a number of times, but you can really fell the heat getting pushed out the vents when it runs. I didn't have any rough idling/stuttering problems like I have in the past.
Now I just need to wire that aux fan so I can turn it on/off by a switch.

Ordered front springs for it. Tomorrow it gets on oil change, a battery, and some gas.
EDIT: I LOVE pay day!

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
cat is clogged. lost about 90% of power on the way home, exhaust fumes were hotter than usual, and i could feel it vibrating and moaning under load. Looks like I'm installing a new one tonight. Break out the sawzall and the welder!

Drove it on some errands to make sure it was ok. I passed Twitch yesterday, and I think it freaked out my XJ, because after I saw him the temp gauge kept going up and down, would show 200 while idling then drop to 100 while running. But it worked fine tonight. :confused1

on a side note, make sure the plug going into the coolant temp sensor is tight and clean.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
OK finally something to post......on time
I checked the front end for the elusive banging I was hearing. Found out my axle joint was a bit loose and it wouldn't take any grease. So upon taking that out I turned my hub bearing by hand and yah you guessed it, it needs to be replaced. So I ordered both pieces from work. In the mean time I have one of my spare hub bearing and small joint shaft in there.
Then I finally got to painting and installing the "Appalachian Armor" t/c skid plate I won at ROM. It installed really quick to.
And somebody tell me why I waited to do these things till it was 107 degrees out and humid as all heck. Thats what our thermometer read in the shade.
Oh side note a couple days ago I installed a new cb antenna cable. Nope still didn't fix it. So Dave and I talked for a bit and came to the conclusion that my radio must have a bad output. So I think I am going to pick up a Cobra 25.

Re: What was done to YOUR rig today?
picked up a front passenger window motor from the junkyard, along with liftgate struts, and a factory fog light switch. I now have working liftgate, a working window, cleaner fog light switch, and immense amounts of backpressure lost with the cat i installed last night/today. going to have to find another cat to put in soon.
