What did you do to your jeep today?

I wish that I could blame some grease monkey at the dealership, but turns out that I AM the grease monkey. :mad: I did some reading on LostJeeps in order to determine the bastard Italian...- seafish

In order to finish off the in tank LP install, I drilled a hole in the unibody, behind the drivers seat and under the carpet, for the new lift pump ground connection. I scraped the paint back but also used a couple of small "star" lock washers to better lock the wire unto the bare metal. Hooked...- seafish

Bulb keeps burning out and breaking, anyone know why?
You need to check the ground connections for the tail light on that side and make sure its solid. Bad grounds can cause all sorts of problems, including voltage surges that can burn out filaments.- seafish

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yesterday I pressure washed Giddyups underside to prevent as much dirt as possible from falling into my eyes as I dropped her fuel tank in order to install the new Lift Pump. I also used a swivel ratchet adapter with an extension and impact driver to loosen the tank straps, so I did NOT have to...- seafish

While there are advantages and disadvantages to either type of fan depending on vehicle use (ie towing vs commuter or highway vs city), it is important to note that by the time you can get electric fans to push as much air as a mechanical/clutch/belt driven fan you are talking about a whole...- seafish

Newbie Libby Owner…REALLY need alot of help pls
What you are describing as "jobber aftermarket" parts is VERY different then what I am describing as "counterfeit" parts. Aftermarket parts are designed by wholesale or brand manufacturing companies. While these companies have an interest in obtaining greater market share by making and selling...- seafish

You are correct to be wary … counterfeit parts are definitely becoming more and more of a problem with both eBay and Amazon … that is one of the main reasons I suggested buying through Rockauto … all of their participating wholesalers are legitimate parts distributors.- seafish

THREE times today I used the 11mm wrench that I just started keeping in Giddyup's saddlebags to purge the air out of her fuel filter cartridge so that I could keep her from bucking and falling flat n her face. The first time was out of unfortunate necessity after a quick pit stop in the morning...- seafish
