Well on the 86 I removed the bolts holding the bed and fuel tank on. Tomorrow if I have time I'll lift it off with the come-a-long. Also got the last of the black interior stripped out & cleaned up. Unbolted the clamps on the intermediate shaft so I can try and pry it out also.

I've had an itch for a few months now, and finally got to scratch it. In the process I busted a bracket holding the DS mirror on, ripped off the PS mirror, lost my muffler, tore the breather hose off the front diff (sure it's full of water again :fs1: ) and on the way home the alternator went out.

I cleaned rims!!!

 

SO, I brought in the aluminum rims for a good cleaning. I have found that "coil Cleaner" for air conditioning coils works GREAT!!

 

 

I hit them each four times, then washed them in hot water and soft scrub cleaner. then today, I brought in my powerball and mothers billet aluminum polish. Hit them a couple times each, finished up with some wheel wax. WOW they came out great!! Not mirror brite, but clean, smooth and nice.

BEFORE:

 

 

AFTER:

 

Lastly I cleaned off the bead area with some 220grit wet/dry paper.

 

 

I got home and its pretty warm.. SO i decide to mouth them up!! Tenn minutes and I have them all mounted!!

Did a little surface rust extraction (wire wheel).... touched up the interior (where the water was leaking) and my bed... it's not perfect, but should hold for a while... I'd still like to eventually get a LineX sprayed bedliner, but don't have the extra $$$ right now...

The MJ got lots of attention today!!! It fineally installed my winter tires.... 33x10.5X15 BFG AT's.

 

 

I installed my ZJ V8 sway bar!!

 

 

Then I built some disconect "holders" for my JKS discos. I too a 12" piece of 1.25X1/8" piece of flat stock.. bent a 1" tab on each end and chopped it in half. then drilled mounting holes for the "pins that come with the discos.

 

 

Then I took the inner bolt out of the cradle that holds the sway bar bushings and put my brackets under it and tightened it back down.

 

 

GOOD DAY!!!

Well, finally got my D30 front axle good to go. Ended up changing out the driver's side wheel bearing hub and upper ball joint. Changed out the passenger side axel u-joint and wheel bearing hub. Also put in a new track bar. Smooth as silk!!

 

Now I can finally move on to pulling the PukeGoat and putting in the AX-15 and NP231.

:cheers:

i went out to notice a puddle of steering fluid on the floor of my garage. :fs1:

tiny hole in steering pump hose. because i got the replacement hose off of a 90 or so cherokee, it was a little long so i had to bend it the opposite way that the factory had it bent causing stress where it shouldnt be......soooooooo, after learning the mistake never to bend hoses the way they shouldnt be, i cut a piece of rubber hose and put a hose clamp on it until i can get to the pick n pull. not a drip.....for now :rotf:
