Re: What was done to YOUR rig today MECHANICALY????
Stripped the framerails to bare metal- should save me quite a bit when I drop it at the shop for welding. That sucked... I would have waited until this weekend, but the movers are picking our stuff up tomorrow and I didn't feel like packing my drill and wheels in the Jeep.
Also put the t-case drop back in. Angle's still not perfect, but it's less severe. Was feeling some unfamiliar vibes, so we'll see how it is tomorrow.
On a little more comical note:
Was driving home today and the state 4 lane highway was shut down to one lane today for roadwork. Cruising along, pushed in the lighter to light my cigarette and the radio died. I remember that being the 1st thing that went out on me when I fried the alternator in my 1st XJ, so I commence to keeping my eyes on the voltmeter, and not the road.
Approximately 10 cars up someone got in a fender bender right around the same time this is all going on, so I'm looking at my gauge, and then worker doing his thing a little too close to the cones was making me nervous. About this time I look up to find everyone in front of me stopped. I thought to myself "well self- this XJ is done... I swerved onto the dirt shoulder, and all was well. Probably wouldn't have hit him, but man talk about some pucker factor.
Kept charge the last 2 minutes to home when I pulled the owner's manual from the glove box to see that the cig lighter and radio share a 15A fuse- which had blown...
So I also changed a fuse today.
Funny how a couple of random things happen at precisely the right time. Just glad no one was hurt- to include the Wartoad.
