1989commanche Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 For Christmas my mj got new to me upper control arms and new bushings on the axle. Boy it rides smoother and way quieter now that the bolts are centered in the bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreasemonkeySC Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Searching for a spring!I rebuilt my park brake a while back, but still can't use it. The retaining spring for the pawl won't hold it tight. It will release randomly.I can't find a spring small enough, and with enough tension to hold the park brake pawl.

GreasemonkeySC Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Put the last coat of fiberglass on my headliner board. I'll give it a few days, and start putting upholstery on it.Now I am debating to try and paint the interior trim, or to cover it with fabric.

shelbyluvv Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I added some used oil, checked the oil level in the radiator then used it to move my 30' travel trailer and boat around the property.I'm not kidding about the oil in the radiator. I think it has a crack in a oil passage to a coolant passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 that sucks Meh, it still runs great. It's been like that for over a year. I drive it all the time and use it. I'll run it until it blows up and then replace the entire cooling system and engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it's been a couple years since I fired it up (not since the throttle body seized up). Soon as I'm done messing around with the KJ I'm going to install that replacement and see what happens.

You sound like me!My tail rig is an 03 Rubicon. I've got about $1k in parts sitting in my shop just need to be installed, and there's a few spherical joints that need rebuilding. Only been that way about a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stays right at 200°. It's a little down on power and has a bunch of blow by but still runs great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Cleared the snow off and took it to the store. Compared my stt discovery on the jeep to the at3 xlt on my daily. Think those are my new favorite tires so far. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Didnt take any pics but I repaired a broken wire causing the interior lights not to work. Also cleanned a couple grounds and the c101 connector tonight. I'm committed to getting the my back to road worthy this time. Hoping to squeeze in a junkyard trip this weekend if time allows.

watchamakalit Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Finished my 4x4 conversion finally today. Last piece of the puzzle was my homemade bracket to keep the front axle locked in. Its really coming along. Should be in dd status shortly. Sent from my LG-H871 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
