What did you do to your jeep today?

[CactusJacked]

Cleaned engine bay
Before & After;

Maybe it's just me, but the after seems to look a little better!

 

[profdlp]

It's not just you.

Last weekend I went over to Mudd's Garage and installed this!

We know ... a little birdy told us ... heh heh

lookin' good!

 

[cplchris]

detailed the exterior and added another layer of sealant: $0
changed the oil and filter with royal purple and bg moa: $40
pulled/inspected/regreased the caliper slide bolts: $0
mounted and balanced the new duratracs: $0

realizing that you did $400 worth of work in just a few hours on a weekend because you have the tools, knowledge, and an uncle with one hell of a shop: Priceless.

realized i have an axle seal leak on the passenger rear side, i guess i should get to re-gearing asap.

this weej and next weekend i plan on getting an alignment, inspection, cleaning the underside and applying fluid film and rechecking the balance of the wheels.

on a side note: can anyone tell me if there is a way to regear the front axle without pulling the whole unit out, from the looks of it that is what needs to happen? or by some miracle is there an easier way to go about it?

299k+ speedometer intermittently cuts out specifically on highway travel. maybe a few weeks after it started check engine light came on for P0501 speed sensor blahblah. shrugged. now the check engine light went off by itself. fixed!

The whole unit has to come out. You either put the new gears in the current unit or swap in one from the 4cyl model.

Has to be dropped clear down out, pretty easy really to drop it out, well unless you read the manual :shrug::icon_lol: They have you tear half the front end out :happy175:

yea i have seen you mention shortcuts before, what might those shortcuts be? i have a shop to do all of the work in and my uncle is more than capable of doing the differential work. but i would like to avoid any unnecessary steps in getting the front axle out of the jeep lol.

Wrote it up for you on another thread

Drove it to Virginia towing a heavily loaded 5x8 U-Haul trailer. The Jeep just sneered at the Pennsylvania mountains and rolled right along without even breaking a sweat. At times I even forgot the U-Haul was back there and wondered why the guy in the white and orange van was tailgating me like that.

I love my Jeep. :icon_lol:

 

[sota]

heh.
I had that feeling the first couple times I used the car trailer. just rolling along and HOLY SHIT THAT ****** IS PRACTICALLY IN MY TAILGATE! oh wait... that's MY car.
:*******:

got it, thanks for all of your help (and more importantly patience in dealing with all the questions).

this weekend i'll be counting the splines on my rear axles to verify that i can put a DTT in the rear. i know it isn't the best option for offroading but sadly i never have time for any real fun so i will be doing it for the benefit of daily driving with light occasional offroad use.

thanks again, i still have to replace a seal and change my diff fluid anyway but i do appreciate the info.

 

[shaun.h]

Simple wash and wax but it really needed it. So much better now!

 

[LibertyTC]

Had to replace the upper brake light bulb again..Whats up with that cyclop bulb in there anyways? They dont seem to last 6 months...or a bit more..
I guess I should look for a Sylvania long life bulb there or ??

 

[Porkchop]

I so just did the same thing.

 

[sota]

I can't shoot it yet... but I added another gun to the collection. At this rate the jeep's going to need a suspension upgrade to handle all the toys when I go to the range.

Brand new Beretta 92G from the recent run they decided to put on. Also hearing rumors they're coming out with some other interesting toys. My wallet, it cries.
