Great idea - that stuff is amazing. I washed the KJ today and was wondering how to get the coilovers looking good again. I'm gonna steal your idea
I'm a committed JAX WAX fan now. All their products work just like they describe.

attemped to wire in some halo only to blow the driver side headlight fuse in my haste & in my stupidity i instead spent the last 2 1/2 hours patiently taking the wires outta the loom and tracing them back to the source looking for a break or a loose connection instead of just checking the fuse from the get go like a smart person :doh2:

The Jeep is finally ready for OBX! Here is the final tally of what has been done:
1) New passenger lower ball joint
2) Crank Seal
3) Water Pump
4) Tensioner assembly
5) Belt
6) Lower rad hose
7) IRO Rear Upper Control Arm for a WJ with custom bracket
8) New rear axle bearings and seals both sides
9) New e-brake shoes (and now the ebrake DOESN'T work? Post-obx problems...)
10) Freed up e-brake cable hardware (the pivot at the end of the e-brake cable)
11) Solid Diff cover with new 85w140 dino gear oil
12) New rear springs
13) New rear shocks
14) New rear lower control arms
15) New rad cap
I got all of that done in about 2 weeks! Not too shabby.
The post OBX-list:
1) Brakes and calipers all around
2) Get the e-brake working
3) PS rack
4) Trans...? :blah:

Keep a close eye on Number 7 , seems there have been some issues with the bushings wearing out pretty fast . Been following on Fakebook

I am not. I'm just heading down there for vacation. Leaving September 4th.
Sorry!
I haven't ever brought my Jeep to a Jeep event.

Oh trust me I am. I completely understand that everything I've done is COMPLETELY experimental at this point. But this thing is no longer my DD so it could be a while before even the crappiest bushings wear out.

What kind of fine tuning? I'm asking because i have close to 6K on mine now too and have added an ARB bumper and winch (synthetic line) since they were installed. I have them set at 10 clicks rebound and 6 compression (they squeaked at 12 and 4 so Marlin suggested changing - still squeak a little) but honestly don't understand how up/down clicks effect the firmness of the ride. Seems a little mushy in front now but not too bad. Oh, and should i be able to click them by hand? Not sure if that's normal or they are loose.
I was just adjusting a bit on height, was meaning to do it at around 5000 and never got it down. Plus had set them a little softer for the trip back , front and rears just to see how it would do. So turned them back up to firm
Yes you should be able to adjust them by hand fairly easy, or at least all 4 of mine are that way .
I changed mine around several times during the first few weeks and finally got it where I like it

I cleaned the cabin air intake behind the glove box. It needed it.
My A/C compressor was replaced last February. Of course, it's kind of hard to tell how good the A/C is working when it's already 25 degrees out. Even so, it never seemed as good as it was in summers before. Here's hoping this helps.

I've adjusted mine quite a bit - mostly on the compression side. I've got mine at 10 clicks on rebound and 2 clicks on compression. I wanted the shocks to 'absorb' the bumps a little more while allowing the springs to keep the tires on the road on rebound.
I've got the same bumper/winch/rope combination as you and as much highway driving as I do I wanted a little more "subtlety." When I go offroad I dial things back up to 12 on rebound and 5 on compression.
My 2 cents....

Did they come with the electric fans?
Drove it to a garage sale that was all tools and scored $28 worth of vintage USA made tools

Imagine that, tools at a garage sale. Seems almost too appropriate. :gr_grin:

I doubt they had to bring them out of storage for the sale! :gr_grin:

Did you go to the Akron Pull-A-Part? They have a few Libbies there from which I've "pulled a part..." :happy175:
