Geonovast Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Got everything off to get the trans out, but the lack of a smooth surface and good jack is going to make me pull the T-case off it first. :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aabmike Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 In stalled some new Bilstein 5150 Series shocks on the rear!! Awesome shocks, 10" Long and have a separate piggy back reservoir. I can actually feel the difference in the ride and driveability, I run no sway bars front or rear, so it is pretty amazing to be able to go around a corner and not feel like I am going to roll over!! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy21669 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 New track bar and clutch master cylinder. Took her on the highway for the first time. She did great and was a volunteer vehicle for the Step Out and Walk for Diabetes this morning. You can see the Purple People eater sticking out and so small right now next to all the other Jeeps...

dasbulliwagen Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The Boss's MJ blew the heater valve the other day, and the upper rad hose looked questionable, so I replaced bloth. Was suprised at how long it took to get the air bubble out of the system. Once it was gone though it was all good. He also complained about a death wobble incident, so I balanced and rotated the tires, and threw on a Rancho RS5000 steering stabilizer. The old one was pretty well shot. All the steering parts and track bar seem fine, so we will see what happens. I'm throwing these fixes at it because he don't want to spend any money on it unless he has to. So it is turing into a fix it one piece at a time as he complains about it job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I love those people. They spend more time complaining about the job and won't spend the money it takes to fix it the first time and then they go buy some stupid go fast chrome valve covers for it!!

Automan2164 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 :fs2: If I EVER find the sonofa that invented the scotch lock, I am going to beat him with a wiring harness. Those retched devices seem to make stupid people think they can wire stuff. Went to hook up the trailer to the '92, and the lights were dim. Knowing the trailer was good, went straight for the throat on the '92, and found this: Some idiot decided that was a good way to extend the trailer wires, which were about 10 feet longer than they needed to be. Now its properly done with heat shrink butt connectors. And the lights actually work now! Imagine that! :fool: Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
