neohic Posted March 9 Author Share Posted March 9 I’ve been thinking about towing the CJ because I apparently like making questionable decisions. The cooler is from the ZJ I pulled the axles from along with the bracket. This was a no-drill install which was nice. I tapped into the cool line coming out of the radiator. Quick touch up with a little black and it disappears behind the grill. I’ve never had any transmission cooling issues, but I’ve also never really pulled anything with this truck over a long distance. Figured it couldn’t hurt and I had everything on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 After getting back from Moab I noticed a puddle of brake fluid under the left rear wheel. I swapped out both of the wheel cylinders today along with finally compounded and quick waxed the truck for the first time in a very long while. Mmm… always worth that extra look back.

neohic Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Went for a bit of a drive today and met @cord367, his dad, and paid a visit to J.O.E. Great to see that old truck! They’re doing an awesome job updating the truck and they welcomed me to take some leftovers. These are the old axles from my old XJ. No idea what’s next for them, but I caught myself getting sentimental over how many rigs they’ve been in and how many miles I would’ve put on them. As for the Eliminator, it rode home on the bumps. … not like they had far to go before hitting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Maybe some air shocks to add some load capacity? Then deflate them when you’re not hauling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the axles and springs in the bed made it ride that low? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh… I didn’t even notice until I got home. I’d rather keep the Sachs! 24 minutes ago, JZLAJeep said: Just the axles and springs in the bed made it ride that low? Wow! … and the lowered suspension.

neohic Posted Wednesday at 10:24 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 10:24 PM I finally got around to cleaning up my shop some and I forgot to put the truck’s “puppy pads” back under it. To my surprise this morning, there were no fresh leaks! The rear main started leaking from sitting for years but that looks like it came around! Another leak was coming from the oil pressure sender adapter. That got replaced recently. I can’t say I remember the last time I noticed that one of my Jeeps didn’t leak anything!

Smokeyyank Posted Thursday at 05:24 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:24 PM At this point in Jeep ownership I'm more worried if there wasn't a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted Saturday at 11:33 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 11:33 PM Took the truck to a cars and coffee this morning. I was definitely the odd one out. The event grew to a few dozen vehicles by the time I left. Eh… wasn’t quite my vibe. Kinda felt like high school where everyone had their cliches to hang with. JDMs… local beaters… the Corvette guys… Not a whole lot of a lowered all wheel drive Jeep crowd in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
