What did you do to your jeep today?

[Birdman330]

Drove it out to the house, spent time with the family. The wife and I made a little progress with our youngest nephew who is shy to us (Though I have my suspicions why). Filled the tank up for the first time in over a month, how little its been driven. Ran over to Sams Club, Walmart then to a Food Joint, back home. So gave the legs a good stretch.

Reserved some rotors and pads at napa for tomorrow. Went with ultra premium rotors and adaptive one pads. My front should have some better stopping power after this.

IMO those are a great choice! Did my fronts with that exact setup - doing the rears with those today.

Brilliant minds think alike, eh? :gr_grin:

Joined the club. :thumbsdown:

Replaced with a new mopar one. Did the hoses and thermostat also. Whoever did it before had the bleed hole on the old thermostat positioned at 3 o clock! :icon_rolleyes:

Tomorrow will be Jeepin by al control arms, lower ball joints, tierod ends, both rear calipers, and new brakes and rotors on the rear.

Would have been a nice down payment on another vehicle. :happy175:

at least not in the small SUV market.

Changed out my power steering pressure hose, and I would just like to wish the engineer that designed it, an eternity in the hottest fires of hell, standing on his head in the sewage of the other residents, with someone randomly whacking him between the legs with a ball bat!!!
Why in the world does that hose need to go from the pump, up to the area behind the headlight, then back down to the rack??? It could be about a foot long and go straight to the rack from the pump!
PLUS, the under the pump fitting, that you cannot see, no matter how double jointed you are, that you must maneuver left handed, to try to re-install. That 1 fitting took over 2 hours to get started :favorites68: I spent some of that time beating on a 4x4 to try to relieve some of the anger.
I'm beginning to believe DC really hates it's customers!

At least you don't have the HD cooling. That adds more time to it.
Removing the headlight helped me get better access.

 

[ElCheapo]

I ended up removing the headlight, battery and battery box, to get at it.
It has a steering cooler, but I wouldn't call it HD.

Replaced the solenoid, proportional purge. Got 2 Mopar coils in the mail, too. Just wanted to have 2 on the shelf in case...

Old on left (Made in Canada), new on right (Hecho en Mexico):

The 2.4L didn't come with the HD cooling system - only the 3.7L six cylinders did. Looks like this:

Looks nice! :waytogo: (Will look even nicer when the back end is done.)

You getting new wheels, too?

 

[twowings]

No....I'm prepping for the trails at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in June...sticking to lift, skids, tires, and tow hooks/recovery gear....I don't want to be 'THAT GUY' on the trails...my budget shrank when I retired so wheels will wait...the OEM steelies are good enough for the likes of me...for now....

Looks great!

The back will be a walk in the park compared to the front. You'll have the whole afternoon to sit back with a cold one and admire your work :waytogo:

Spring & no rain today, so it was time to spray out the Throttle body get it clean, & then hit the highway with 2 bottles of Techron Concentrate cleaner in fuel.
I guess the Jeep blew the rest of the dust out on this 75 mph 100 mile run, one way.
Eventually found a great logging road, & decided to climb into the mountain's back country.
This was on the way back down.

Next will be to pull one spark plug & check gap & condition soon.
I think it may be time for some fresh plugs.

Great job, rear is a 30 minute job so you've got it
Make sure you install the spring first ( after drilling the hole in the spring pad ) then reach through and install the bumpstops last . Much easier that way.
