Well it’s been a while since I was in the pub. Wasn’t doing much with my 88 Olympic edition but taking it to shows, but this weekend I got a 87 short bed and had a chrome bumper so switched it out with my standard one. Thought it would look nicer taking it up to Butler Jeep event next weekend. Anyone else going? Will take pics of the 87 and register it in here. Got to wait till rain stops here in northeast and get basic detailsIMG_2513.jpeg.7f4f01710eeced434fc770cc3bb86ad0.jpegIMG_1666.jpeg.1e6c01ac9da4d2d8cf87241f96684c9f.jpeg

I'd love to head down to the Jeep festival as it's just over an hour away from where I live.  However I've got big plans this weekend installing solar panels.  

 

The Olympic edition is looking great!

Too bad, wouldn’t mind meeting up with you and seeing your MJ that you grabbed in Berks Co. one of these years maybe up at Butler

I'd definitely love to do that sometime.  

Most years I do make way down to Pittsburgh for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, I like taking the Comanche to the show as it has AC.

Well good luck with the solar panels. If you get done early the Barbie jeep race starts at 7.  That’s always a good laugh and it’s free to spectators

Got a steal of a deal I couldn't pass up. Brand new Clayton long arm kit for $700.

 

I was skeptical of what difference it would make in the ride, and Holy cow did it make a big difference. 

 

 

Side note: I'll have a short arm setup with a drop bracket up for sale soon 😅

Added Laredo molding modified for my SWB ‘88 Pioneer. Had the molding Line-Xed when they did the bed, also a little inlay with repainted full size Cherokee emblems.

PICS:  Today, I installed a Bosch coolant temperature gauge.  My 89 has the standard idiot lights and after replacing my engine last year, I didn't want to rely on idiot lights anymore.  And I didn't want to do a whole dash instrument swap.

 

Placed the gauge in the slot where the old transmission rocker switch was....it was disabled (and useless anyway).  

 

I built an engine last year and I used a later model 7120 cylinder head, so I had to use the non-Renix water neck during my build.  Since I'm still running the Renix system, I had just plugged the right port of the water neck.  Perfect place for a new  instrument Temp Sensor!

 

The Bosch sensor was very long, so I had to add a coupler and close nipple.  Part store didn't have brass, so I used Galvanized iron pipe.

 

Sure is nice to see where I'm at temperature wise now.  

 

By the way, when I built my engine, I was so paranoid that she'd have some sort of oil pump issues at start up/initial break in that I installed a mini pressure gauge near the distributor.  It was worth the effort and expense to see that I had good pressure during that initial start up.  I left it on.  Not really useful anymore unless you have the hood up of course and want to periodically check oil pressure.  But anyway, I thought I'd snap a pic of that too for you while I was in there.  

 

I have thought of doing the fuel rail gauge.  I may look into that later.
