What was done to YOUR rig(XJ/MJ) today MECHANICALY????

[sandsgg]

Bled my brakes again and replaced the coolant bottle....and got the volvo cap : )
Thanks again for the help Swamprat. Tomorrow I have to make sure I didnt get any air in the system. Hopefully not

Tore apart my first axle, I had an extra 35 laying around. easier than I thought

Ordered my replacement leaf springs for the passenger side. Will install this week.

 

[blenny]

What did you go with?

 

[Crusher16]

Same one I killed, Rustys 3.5" springs.

 

[Crusher16]

Went to work on getting the dead leaf spring out, but I don't have big enough jack stands to hold the jeep up. So guess Ill try to go to my friend's shop sometime this week. New spring gets here today.

Take the tires off?

Este. Jack frame up and crib/jackstand. Put bottle jack under axle, remove tire and then let droop slowly.

No nintendo.

Been a while since I've messed with the rear end like this (phrasing BOOM) so I didn't think about that. Derp.

Notice how it isn't on my driveway anymore.

I think your driveway just has a hump in the middle... on that side now the passenger side looks higher

 

[Swamprat]

So I got my shop truck running again, now to haul the xj off ao the mj can sit the "the spot of loathing" until I work up the will to work on it.

 

[machinisttx]

Replaced the cover gasket on the rear differential and replaced the oil filter adapter o ring.

 

[lwbtex]

Mowed around mine and remembered what I need to fix from ROM.

 

[sandsgg]

Noticed that my driver side leaf spring sags more than the passenger side

 

[Swamprat]

Didnt you just replace those springs?

 

[sandsgg]

Me, no.... Crusher i believe yes
