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

[Manic Mechanic]

After a weekend of hard wheeling I parked the jeep in the garage. Next morning I found this on the ground. Is it important? Do I need it?

If your jeep shook it off, it probably wasn't important. My old jeep kept telling me it was all for being more oil effecient by burning off excess oil it didnt need.

Bought 4 new stock sized tires, so no more airing up my mismatched tires daily

 

[Manic Mechanic]

Something is going to happen to my jeep this weekend, just don't know what for sure besides hopefully finish removing the interior, and swapping the front clip. Probably removing the doors. And hatch.

[Swamprat]

Chop too! I'll bring the sawzall

 

[Manic Mechanic]

Man, if we start chopping then this thing will end up all kinds of messed up....then it would be in the scrap yard...lol. But bring the sawzall and the grinder anyways...

-Eric

 

[Swamprat]

I cany wait for it to cool down

 

[Manic Mechanic]

My jeep has no doors! And the interior is almost out. Plus the front fenders are off, looks likes all the damage was contained to them only. Would be making more progress if it wasn't so hot.

-Eric

 

[Manic Mechanic]

Ok, so I'm thinking I'm going to remove everything from the doors as far as power window motors, lock actuators, door panels, and even the glass...Yeah. Thinking I will make a plexi insert to put in when needed. Haven't decided if the hatch is staying or going. Trying to decide how much of the dash is going to stay also.

-Eric

 

[Swamprat]

Keep the upper dash, kind of like I did with the pooparu. It only has the upper skin of the dash with only the bare needs underneither

Well not all done today, but over the last week getting ready for Moab
SYE installed
Transfer case clocked
Bumper trimmed
Fenders further trimmed
New shocks thanks to rough country's warranty
High lift installed on rear bumper
Winch rebuild
New rear shackles

Still need to
Dig up a rear drive shaft
Maybe make a set of half doors
And I'd really like a set off 35s but all my money is going to be spent on gas

Two weeks ago, installed a long arm upgrade, 4 1/2" springs and 1"extended shackel, cut n fold on fenders, lunch box locker in front, home made lower control arm skids, drop track bar bracket, 33" traxis, and airaid intake.took it wheeling at Barnwell mountain and it flexs real good. Now I have a problem with the power sterring pump heating up and whinning. Did a flush of the fluid when i got home and going to install a cooler on the return side to see if that fixes it.

 

[blenny]

Got a set of the ugliest doors ever for my half doors, a zj front driveshaft for my sye, and a wholr bunch of little crap from lkq today.....in the rain. Now lets see if I have time to make half doors over the next 2 weeks.

 

[Exxon Valdez Jeep]

[Swamprat]

[Ecomike]

I let my jeeps get a bath in the rain this weekend.

But it did not help, LOL.

 

[Swamprat]

sanded down my hood and started taking all the trimm off so i can paint it.

 

[Exxon Valdez Jeep]

these bad boys showed up today, getting ready to overhaul the D60

 

[Swamprat]

stout!


i primed my front clip, now i just have to hit a few dents and shoot the cab and im ready for paint.

 

[Manic Mechanic]

Which front clip? The one off my jeep? If so that's a lot of dents. In fact that whole fender is a dent.

-Eric

 

[Swamprat]

my oem clip, i gave up on those fenders i got from you after realizing my fiberglass fenders has been hacked up a lot more than i though. i might pick up that project later though.
