[BearWagon]

Your best bet at any type of success is to start at the bottom of your list first.

[stewie]

yah, beer always makes wrenching slightly more enjoyable.

[BearWagon]

If you need any help with the list just let me know, actually i'm only good at the beer drinking.

I think I told you I was 60/40 for the fall fling the other day at the M&G, even though I hate commitments I think it's time... didn't you say you were staying at the Slickrock campgrounds as well, if so what space or area, I'm looking into that tonight and may make the reservations assuming there are any left.

(and it's now official I'm red)

[offroader461]

Hey stewie...hit me up when you get a free day and ill help you toss those shackles/spacers in

[stewie]

Bear, i am staying at Slickrock Camp Ground. I have RV spot #165. its located behind the cabins. its a back in site with water and power only. i will be putting my popup tent trailer in there. they have different types of sites available ranging from a basic single tent site (i had one for the 06 FF), multi tent sites, cabins, basic rv spots (car camping), power and water rv and full rv connections including cable tv. the prices are pretty good to. some people seem to think that its a little run down but i dont think it is. ive stayed in ALOT worse. check out http://www.slickrockcampground.com/ for more info on types of sites, prices, map of the grounds and contact info. i hope to see you there:wave: . the closest thing to we have here in AZ to moab would be the sedona area as far as some of the terrain and beauty of the landscape

offroader, im gonna have to upgrade to 33s before i install the shackles. that high with 31s will look even more silly than it does now with 4.5" i still need to figure out what amount of lift those shackles will give me. its appox 3" from center of bolt to center of bolt on the j/y shackles we found. once i figure out how much it will give me, i need to get appropriate size coil spacers (or just go with ACOS). i will deff give you a hollar for that.:repair:

anyone want to help me drop my tnt y link belly skid and front axle so that i can do the SYE, drain and fill tranny and weld on my LCA brackets? i hope to do it the weekend of the 21st.

for those whom may be on the fence on to go or not to go, i urge you to check out some of the trip reports and pics from the past fall flings...
06 FF page http://www.naxja.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=147
07 FF page http://www.naxja.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=188
the wheeling and comrodery will be second to none. some of the people i have meet on the 06FF were some of the nicest, most carring, wheelers i have meet, oh and good drinkers too!

[offroader461]

hey measure those shackles from hole to hole and i can tell you appoximatly how much they will lift your rear

[stewie]

hey measure those shackles from hole to hole and i can tell you appoximatly how much they will lift your rear

ok, the stock shackles measure appox 3" from center of bolt to center of bolt. the lift shackles measure 6" center of bolts. so the shackle is 3" longer than stock, approx half of that being lift height, so they are 1.5" lift. correct?

[offroader461]

correct sir...so some 1.75 Daystar shackles will level it out nicely

[x*BIGASSALEX*j]

Man stewie, thats a long list. Let me know if you need help. I just did my shackles and spacers oh yea and smashed my finger. I can help in this area.

I just need some body protection and an SYE, oh some spare parts incase I break.. as of right now Im ready. I'll take that back. need to start saving for GAS...

The bad new is starting tonight I work weekends. Friday to Monday 1800 to 0600. The good news is I do not have to work in the heat!!!!!!!!!! We will have to look at a schedule and work something out!

[stewie]

oh yah, what i forgot, remembered and then forgot again was a tranny cooler. two actually. one for the xj and one for my tow rig. the stock "cooler" where the lines go into the radiator are quite pathetic to say the least.

[Lostman]

Stewie, good luck on the list man. I got the new long arm kit built and installes a couple weeks ago, I'm working towards going on the FF too, but I can't commit just yet.
Any luck on the job hunt yet?

[stewie]

i have school next week for my apprenticeship. so i will be less burnt out from the heat when i get home. ill be tackling the SYE, AW4 drain/fill, and weld on LCA mounts after school for that reson. (the small portable swamp cooler in my garage can only do so much especially after working construction all day). i got reading through the instructions and i have some questions about it.

the instructions mentioned needing heavy duty snap ring pliers. im familiar using snap ring pliers on the snap rings with the "eye" holes on the end. but i got to looking at the hardware kit and the snap rings supplied with the AA SYE kit do not have any eyes on the snap rings. are the snap ring pliers not needed after removal of the old parts?

any tips or pointers for the installation process? (like try to have an extra can of sanity handy if possible- wait, im fresh out).

im also getting the itch to fab. i noticed a place called "valley steel" located on 75th ave just barely south of grand. im wondering if anyone has had experience with them and has any imput. also, same question for glendale steel by the drive in movie theatres on bethany homies rd. nothing big, just need some 1/4" plate.

thanks
james

[Mdub]

Stewie,
Check out these links for a blow by blow on how the SYE is installed. There are rings that DO have holes so just get a good set of snap ring pliers and you'll be covered. You can use regular (long) needle noses for the ones without holes.


http://www.links4jeeps.com/writeups/231sye/1.php
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hGpjCAkOvk

One more thing. Check the chain in the T-case when you are doing the SYE. This is the perfect time to replace. If it is sloppy at all, save yourself a headache down the road and take care of it.

07 quad cab Chevy 2500HD 4x4. It’s got the Duramax Allison combo. The ½ was taking too much of a beating with me hauling the Jeep and the camper around. I have too much on my plate this week, but it looks as if it will be in my hands on July 1.

[stewie]

last night i got the front axle removed and cleaned up the front coils (dirty and greasy as hell) and some of the steering conponents too. i want to try to get the belly pan out and the tc removed, but im not sure how much i will get done as i have a small family obligation. after the sye, and drain/fill tranny i will weld on the new lca brackets and im thinking of hitting the axle with a wire wheel and repainting. damn utah winters. all cosmetic, but why put a rusted up crappy looking piece back under there when for a little more effort it can look half way decent again with some spraybomb.

[FLAGXJ]

We have 3 spots reserved on the back row also. I believe it will be WoundedXJ, BIGAZXJ, and I. We are in the back corner directly next to the playground/trailer drop. October will be here before we know it! I guess I better get a list going. WOOHOO!!

[stewie]

last night i managed to get the belly pan with arms off and the tc out. both were soaked in oil and the tc was also caked in dirt and grime. I guess the rear seal was worse than i thought. i was able to clean them both off last night. today i am gonna start tearing into the tc after school.

[BearWagon]

Stewie I give you an A for effort, man you don't seem to stop working on knocking out that list early.....I keep aquiring parts but just can't get motivated to go out in the heat and wrench right now, even with the "masterKool" in the garage it's still brutal.

I MUST PRESS ON, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN...
f-it where's the beer?

I'm right next to you guys.. :eyes:

[Wounded XJ]

I'm right next to you guys.. :eyes:

It is a good thing we are all so close. I hate crawling long distances!

[BearWagon]

I can see it now, someone will be stumblin/crawlin back, completely blurry eyed and only see a AZ license plate and assume they've made it home, and try to get in bed.:shocked:

Oh man I got to be sure to lock the doors

[stewie]

sye is done. did most of it last night, and finished it up with a new front output seal. the old one had 204K on it, so i did for good measure.

is that a light at the end of the tunnel? or is that just a train speeding my way? dont know, but i like it either way.

who needs a bed to stumble back to when theres a cozy campfire right there?

[stewie]

SYE is complete and the TC is ready to bolt back in. I rebuilt 2 drive shafts and they are ready to go in. The tranny is drained and filled, and I did an oil and filter change. Is it a bad thing when you cant tell the difference in color of the tranny fluid and the motor oil?

tomorrow im gonna try to get my LCA mounts welded on my front axle, strip and paint it and maybe get everything back on the jeep. doubt ill get it all done, but ill try.

[OddBallXJ]

Wow Stewie, you're movin'!

Got my confirmation email yesterday. Space 25

Hey! That happened to me once. Wounded almost got wounded with my glock 21.

[stewie]

I hit a snag.

I noticed that one of the caliper bolts was missing when I removed my D30 for the last set of projects. Turns out that the threaded hole in the knuckle that accepts the caliper bolt is wallowed and/or stripped. (guess i wont use an air ratched to tighten them down no more). I figured no problem, I have a set of brake caliper brackets off of a renix xj. no go. the renix era brackets that I have bolt onto the steering knuckle. on my 95 its all one assembly.

guess I get to either get a new knuckle or find some way to salvage it. im not the most keen on welding it closed and redrilling and retaping due to the way cast steel acts in the molten state. plus trying to get good penetration into that area would be hard without beveling out the hole.

anyone have ideas? cash is short for me for now because i dont get paid when i go to school for my apprenticeship.

EDIT: i just called the STEALership and they want $408.75 for the outer knuckle. I might end up going junkyarding on the fourth.

[offroader461]

dang stewie thats a bummer...drove by the other night and looked like it was getting done...too bad bout the caliper/knuckle...gimme a shout tomorrow cuz i might be able to hook ya up with one..LOL also got a question about your "fog-lights"

[AZXJ]

Stewie,

Driver or passanger side ?

[stewie]

Passenger side. and Dave, how does the whole smacking the ball joints with a hammer trick work?

[AZXJ]

Smack HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!



How's $30.00 for a used knuckle sound ? I'll bring it home with me.. you can pick it up friday evening or sunday evening.. I have plans before work sunday evening.

Question: Why are divorces so expensive?

















Answer: Cause they are FAWKING WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!

[stewie]

Add to list:

replace CB
replace ant wire
replace radio head unit
replace radar detector
replace fire extinguisher
purchase alarm
find the fawker who stole my shit and put a bullet between his eyes:nono: :flamemad:

keep an eye out for a cobra 29wx (chrome and silver face with light up display, built in swr meter, etc), cobra radar detector unknown model # silver and black with suction cup mount and chrome hump on the top for lazer detection, cheep blackpunkt (sp?) faceplate and a small 5A10BC rated fire extinguisher with install date written in marker on the bottom of it. im gonna keep an eye out online for this suff but an extra set of eyes is always helpful.

EDIT: i think im gonna go with the cobra cb that is easy to hide- the one thats all in the mic. i know that the power kinda sucks from it, but i hope it wont be too bad after i get it peaked and tuned at apollo. im thinking audio express for a new head unit, and alarm. something that is loud and annoying. anyone know of other good sources for replacing/ getting the new stuff? i never have had an aftermarket alarm so i have some questions: how much do they normaly run and same for installation? ones to look at and the ones to avoid? what fetures would you guys recommend without going overboard. im mainly looking for something that will let me know to grab my shotgun and take the pos into custody.

MJ is still down...need to do a headgasket, weld on rear shock mounts, RMS replacement and tailcone on the t/c is still leaking

i got your back on the shock mounts. i love the smell of burning welding rod:loveu: . the seal on the rear tc output is pretty easy to do. i had a chance to disect mine when i did the SYE. I can give you a hand with that if you need. hell, give me a hollar if you need help with any of the projects on her. let me know how the RMS goes, i may need to do mine late this year.

[offroader461]

yea i want to do the head gasket tomorrow but dont have any help LOL

[x*BIGASSALEX*j]

Bump. Its nearing crunch time! Im getting excited.


Hey Alex, do you still need help with your skid and cb?

Yea. I havent even started or turned my b!tch on... I just got a new toy and trying to figure that thing out. a 96 Montego Tigershark. (Jet Ski)

[stewie]

I got a ZJ pitman arm installed today. I also think I found a source for a new bushing in my mj shackles. even the stealership said they dont have a part listing for just the shackle bushings. we will see if this one will work or if its too good to be true.

[stewie]

just registered and paid. if you havent yet do so now

[x*BIGASSALEX*j]

just registered and paid. if you havent yet do so now

Hey stewie, I puttig that JetSki on holf for riht now.. let me know when your available next week to help me with my skid and CB.... THX

[stewie]

bump. one month to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a lot done this last week. I drilled a hole in my- belly pan so that i can drain the trans fluid without having to drop the belly pan, front suspension, and front axle. got the trans drained and filled. i recieved a fan controller and picked up some other supplies to use on a taurus fan. started on a set of tube doors made out of s-10 tire carriers- stripped old braketry off, ground down the left overs, removed latch and handle, removed hinge, mocked up latch, and did a set of rough measurements. i also made my front doors removeable today.

this week i hope to finish up the tube doors, and start on the taurus fan. maybe even install the hood vents if i am lucky.

[stewie]

I know that I cant be the only buisy one here. I know quite a few of us have dropped out, so who left is going? Is it just Kracker and I?

On the working note, I hate when storms interrupt my fabbing. Last two nights I've needed to stop early becuse of the storm. The passenger side tube door is done, drivers side it tacked up except for the latch. I should be able to get it done after the weekend.

I have backed out, but I have been working on my list. I have the 1st coat of paint on the jeep. I have a little touch up sanding before I put the second coat next week. The front WJ brake swap problems I had are now fixed (I had nothing but problems with the Sport Trac rotors so don't use them). Will start on the rear D44 seal leak and new radiator will come in the next pay check or two. Then it will be off to Justin's house for some welding mods and I will back on the trail for winter trips!
