Picked up an HD Tie Rod and new TREs from Iron Rock Offroad during their Christmas sale. This thing has gotta weigh north of 12lbs -- 1.25" dia and solid.

GreasemonkeySC Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Today she got a new rear bumper, all 4 shocks, bump stops, complete front brake job, and I put the first layer of fiberglass on the headliner board.Think the brake rotor was bad?

GreasemonkeySC Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 nah, you've still got some good steel there! Before I retired I would see that stuff all the time. I was a government fleet tech. I had to trailer a fire ladder one early morning. They shattered all 4 rear brake rotors. Like glass! 93,000# truck on a 35ton trailer.Officer comes in after a high speed chase, and request we check tires, brakes, and it's been making a funny noise for about 1500mi.I barely get the car on the lift, and I hear what sounds like a shotgun come from the rear axle. "Um.... Ya think you could manage getting noises checked out a little sooner, so you don't die!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vineyard86manch Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 When I bought my 86 mj last March I promised the old girl I would restore her stripes eventually after it was painted. Thanks to Spencer at jeepsticker.com we made it happen. I had a friend who does graphic design put together the design and Spencer brought it to life. Great work Spence!

GreasemonkeySC Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So my leaking internal slave cylinder turned into a leaking slave, leaking rear main, and leaking oil pan gasket. Decided to order a new pan since this one has been repaired.The PO had left out the shifter gasket, and the shifter boot was about 1\2 gone.Is there a plug to go in the hole where the hydraulic clutch lines pass through the bell housing?

carnuck Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The plug/dust boot may be available but the lines move around a bit due to the floating slave unless someone has their foot on the clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 So.... oil pan off, no gasket-only RTV, 2 broken bolts with the heads RTV to look right, and as I'm looking up from my creeper..... What do I see?No bolt in the intermediate shaft at the steering gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The plug/dust boot may be available but the lines move around a bit due to the floating slave unless someone has their foot on the clutch. Can't find the dust boot listed anywhere. I guess I'll be making one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
