What did you do to your jeep today?

[uss2defiant]

Finally put it back in its place.

I moved the coolant reservoir away a bit to attack the last passenger side rear plug.
Removing is a lot easier with a swivel in between 2 -6" extensions.
Installation is even more fun aint it? :gr_grin:

There's crud in your engine bay??! :boxed:

 

[LibertyTC]

Yes there is a lot of crud after off road last weekend, on the engine right now.
Mud, many places, grime, still finding dead bugs on the intake.
It needs a solid power wash & detail trust me.
Want to come over & help power wash it with me? Beer Supplied! :icon_lol:
Or should I wait until summer & do it then? :shrug:

 

[uss2defiant]

hahaha
i was just surprised.
You usually keep it really clean.

Changing the spark Plugs on the KJ Jeep really in not that bad compared to many other vehicles!

2008 Toyota Sienna I just said screw it and paid the dealer 400 bucks at 120k. It was worth it to avoid the aggravation. :favorites68:

My current rent in Cleveland is $420 a month for a two bedroom apartment. For a million bucks I could buy a whole block and sleep in a different house every night for two weeks. I was actually looking at a place that was asking $79,000 and sold for $10,000 less than that. It was also in a much nicer part of town. (As in, not in Cleveland at all but in a western suburb.)

I was told one time that a true Clevelander never went anywhere near the west side :shrug::icon_lol:. Was doing Inspections up there and one lady who was born and raised in Cleveland had never been to the west side in her life until she had to go over there with me. :gr_grin:She was 45-50 at the time .

Can't remember the address anymore but one guy did buy a half block of homes there , tore them all down , and built a huge fancy home on the lots. Funny going past all of these old run down homes, then end of the block a huge mansion

The passenger side plugs on an Astro are about as easy as it gets if you jack up that side and remove the inner mudflap thing on the wheel well (no need to remove the tire).

Driver's side, however, is no fun at all. Lots of guys end up just taking it to a shop and paying $3-400 for the job. I never have, but I have long extensions, a wobbly spark plug socket, long spark plug wire pliers and an infinite supply of cusswords and beer

Lemme see if I can find my pic of that side.

 

[Leeann]

Found the pics. You can see #1 and #3 here, but #5 is a bit hidden.

In this pic, #3 is on the left. You have to lift up that heat shield, not that it can go far, to get to #5 on the right.

Might as well be. :icon_lol:

I was all set to do it but the time was more the issue. I've tackled some involved stuff on other vehicles but this seemed ridiculous and had a trip coming up. Bought it brand new and just turned 170k on it. Other than regular maintenance stuff the plugs were about the only things it has needed. Figured what the heck. I still don't know exactly where they are on the firewall side. :shrug:

I have to think about a water pump on the Sienna soon. Think I'm hearing a bit of a pulley noise and they are known to get iffy over 150k. At least on this engine the water pump isn't driven by the timing belt. One year older and it was a huge job. I've heard I can do mine by going in through the inner fender liner on the Pass side. We'll see.

Amazing the magical things one can do with enough cusswords and beer. :ROFLJest:
