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

Prepping for a water pump swap on the saturn

So my comanche has been developing a starting issue due too how badly frayed my battery cables are. Luckly my parts jeep has ned cables on it.

Pulled the dash, removed the passenger airbag (big plans for that space) rewired the winch and mounted the control box and ran an incab switch. Removed the fatory panel that holds the rear wiper and defroster. Bought two digital switches to run the winch and extra lights. I'll snap some pics later because it really looks bad ass.

Waiting on the stereo and speakers to come in this week and then put the dash back together and start on s-10 leaf pack and new front springs.

She's coming together, I still need a headliner. I did pick up some sweet seat covers from Pep Boys for $20 yesterday...they were an open box return and the dude gave me a discount on top of that and my military discount.

so, i got my new cables on. all i well, and i might have found the source of my oil leak. there was no gasket on my oil fill cap. i doubt its the main leak, but i bet that is why i have so much oil on the top of the motor.

When I'm back from Phoenix, I'll be doing front ball joints, axle seals, and maybe the heater core if anyone wants to have a wrenching weekend.

Did some yard work at my dad's where I am building my shop.

Pulled some old trees down and into the burn pile, then wheeled on said trees

[Swamprat]

Wired my cb in, and discovered my clutch madter cylinder is leaking into the cabin. Yay cheap Chinese parts!

That's why i have a spare, I've gone through three. One breaks i swap the good one in and warranty the broken one

 

[blenny]

Went to repair some rust on the cowl and found no MIG gas. I just filled that bottle WTF

 

[XJ Wheeler]

Saturday, i finally finished up the switch panel and installed it.

 

[Crusher16]

Looks good!

I jumped mine and took it out in the snow again.

Get paid tomorrow, so that means its time to get the Jeep ready for DD status since my VW is out of commission.

Got to do the registration, which means its time for custom license plates while I'm at it.

First up is maintenance (oil change, diff fluids, etc.)

On to figuring out why it overheats it warmer weather. Thinking I'll replace all the coolant hoses and the heater core.

Depending on the over heating issue, might be able to swing some new shocks.

 

[Swamprat]

My fuel pump just gave up under the cold weather. Looks like I need to get my ford on the road so I can rebuild my mj.

 

[Swamprat]

As it turns out my gas gauge that never works. Was working and telling me I was out of gas...

 

[Swamprat]

So there is a hole in my gas tank...

 

[01upcountry]

Replaced idler pulley only to discover balancer is seperating .

 

[Swamprat]

So once I got home and actually looked at my gas tank it turns out its just the lock ring gasket. So only $30 worth of gas leaked out. Yay me

Mine was extruding bushing and hitting the fan. Got awfully annoying after a while.

All gass tanks have holes, one for filling, and one for pressure feed to the engine, outlet, and a vent hole.

 

[Swamprat]

You sir, have made my day.
