These were picked up in a Jeep Salvage yard
buddy was there getting some other parts and these were just sitting there
They are in pretty decent shape
Wish I had some more, these set in my garage for almost a year before John shamed me into installing them :happy175:

Finally got to see the ole red KJ again. Needed a new valve cover gasket. Took less than a hour start to finish.

Friday night. While driving at slow speed (luckily), ball joint separated from wheel hub and it effected axle too. Then it became undrivable. With tow truck, it was carried to repairshop. I feel really lucky that did not happen at highway on higher speed.

Reactionic, Get a set of Moog with the grease/Zerk fittings installed, then align it~!!
I am also very happy to hear it did not happen at Hwy Speeds!!!
Moments like this, remind me why it may be a good idea to carry extra fresh shorts! :gr_grin:

I'm sure its the same process. Basically get the engine bay wet, spray on the cleaner, spray it off, squirt on the final coating and drive it around a while to dry off the excess.
Makes for a good excuse to go for a drive. "Honey, I have to go on a little road trip - the directions told me to..." :happy175:

I guess many parts of underframe has never replaced. Actually I do not feel safe after 90 kph and controlling it gets harder. Every time all passengers say that "wow it is very shaking and it makes him/her feel speed more than actual". Every repair man who i talked, say that it is normal , it is a off road vehicle, you can't drive fast. Actually i do not believe it. Ofcourse it can not be like a sedan car but, normally its driving should not make people like i said above. Also in Turkey, there is not many choices for Jeep parts(except square framed ones, I mean XJ, we call it like that 
). Even if there is, it is extortionately expensive in comparison with USA.

I'm hoping I get clearance to drive this week. Don't know how long I can be behind the wheel but hopefully it's at least 120 minutes or so :icon_lol:
Just in time for Christmas too

Put in the front tow hooks that I got from hoosierjeeper. Found a good excuse to get that set of ratcheting wrenches, which that and figuring out I can go in from the back, made the job easier.

Husky, from Home Depot. Not "top end" by a long shot, but I'm not doing it for a living. I've had a couple for a long time, usually using only the 10mm which seems to be the most common size on Hondas. Now I have mas!!
That pm I sent ya, take it that's a "no".
I've added a few "big box" tools, hired guys aren't any more apt to keep up with top tier than the mid grade. I've had far better service from Lowe's KOBALT than HD's Husky. Actually, I have two KOBALT torque wrenches used every day for lug nut service in my tire shop. About every 6 months I'll have to have one of em replaced under the "No Hassle" lifetime warranty. SnapOn torque wrench will out last em by a couple months, but then there's a $300 REBUILD FEE!! They'll replace the ratchet head guts for free for the life of the tool,BUT NOT THE TORQUE SYSTEM!!

Eastwood sent me a free 10 mm rachet wrench whatever you call them 2-3 years ago, best I have found for a long time

Changed the plugs and coil packs last night. Figured I should before a nice long road trip for the holidays. The plugs had some small electrodes on them. Drove it to work this morning and she seems to be running better ( wasnt having issues before but she feels more peppy). That was the easiest set of plugs I have ever changed and I am fine with that!

I wonder what the gap was on those new condition platinum tipped ones?
It never seems to amaze me how owners never seem to notice the under the hood sticker.

Southerwake did you use the copper core NGK's ZFR6F-11G and gap em at .040 ?

Reading is hard. :emotions34:
I checked the gap and made sure it was at .40 on all the new plugs which were the correct plugs (OEM suggested) as well. Took me about 2 hours and that was because I wasnt fighting with the coolant reservoir being in my way.
One of the coils was written on with marker, the date and the words "advance part" was written on it. So I am guessing that the plugs and coils that were in there were obtained at Advance Auto parts and they chose the cheapest plug.
