What did you do to your jeep today?
Yeah...thank Douglas Adams for the Prefect joke. Most on this side of the pond never got the joke. I never understood the design, particularly when the Prefect is like the only car more underpowered that the VW 1200cc flat fours of the slightly later era. Never was a Prefect here, but always...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Mwa ha ha haaaaaa! Better living through hazardous materials recycling. Mixed up some seriously ********* powder coat stripper. Skipped the hydrofluoric acid though- it's nasty all on its own. I added toluene and acetone to the dichloromethane/phenol/formic acid mix and added just a touch of...- Johnny O

Got a bunch of boxes of chemicals to treat and coat aluminum parts. Will report on that in the other thread. Gonna get weather well above freezing next week so the crunch is on to get stuff ready for installation. Also reverse engineered a well known and top rated chemical stripping solvent...- Johnny O

2003 Liberty 3.7L sport, Reman engine from Tri-Star, p0304 code
Mine was an 07 transition model. so half 06 and half 08. Dirty Power issues well known and documented all over the forums here across all the KJs and KKs. As others have mentioned in addition to voltage, the numerous ground straps contribute to the sensitivity issues in the brain box. In the...- Johnny O

Thanks to filthy road melt I noticed interesting things about Rubicon hood design. Sure the stock hood vents are non-functional plastic boxes but the filth demonstrates the hood was designed so they would work. Legit post as my neighbor's LIBERTY IS IN THE BACKGROUND.- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
POR-15 and duplicolor stuff arrives tomorrow. Just finished prepping the fume hood in my personal lab to start coating parts this weekend. Gotta do some overtime in the labs anyway this weekend, so can get stuff coated before and after shift and on lunch break. Might as well be super efficient...- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yeah, they were fine for temp use. Perhaps you could bolt on some F-350 (or other bro-dozer) towing mirrors from the scrap yard? Or perhaps a doors off set for a wrangler?- Johnny O

I used these when I towed the camping trailer for the Boy Scouts before the helicopter parents pissed me off and I quit volunteering. Totally forgot I had them. Disclaimer: I skipped the straps and fastened with screws...- Johnny O

Looks like dual battery system replacement was a success. Now have to trouble shoot that pesky driver's front lock actuator. Doors will autolock and unlock, and with fob, but not with switch...which I already replaced.- Johnny O

What did you do to your jeep today?
Bit a bullet and rented a bay at the local DIY Garage to get those Odyssey AGM batteries in. Set me back 70$ for an hour and a half, but it was 80F in there. Worth it. Immediate noticeable improvement cranking and charge rate. Outside temps too cold for ESS to function ( another questionable...- Johnny O

Metals Preservation
I’ll install silicone gaskets where applicable and always use ABS and/or BUNA washers to prevent galvanic corrosion for dissimilar metals. (Nylon absorbs water and swells.) Lots of folks forget that ferrous (including stainless alloys) and nonferrous metals will corrode when in direct contact...- Johnny O
