What did you do to your jeep today?

[Aceofspades]

Trust me I know lmao. I'm just saying I've done HIDs in standard housings that would look like the cross hair of a rifle scope on the road or wall.
At the moment I just don't have the patience to attempt a retrofit. if I do source the materials and I can get them done in a realistic time frame maybe I'll make a few extra sets. It's been a couple years but I might be up for it again. Looking at the retrofitsource site, it's gonna be tricky to find a shallow projector and shroud to fit these housings. I don't want to use a a fog light sized projector / bulb and sacrifice output

Don't need unless you are adding to the lift and then use only uppers

the only additional piece i got was the front strut spacer from jba. my last lifted suv was a 08 pathfinder and it was a bit different then the kj.

Worlds apart for sure have lifted a few Pathfinders for customers
What all do you have right now?
May be able to give you some more pointers
What size spacer did you get ?

To my Jeep today... drove it to work, paid to have the window regulator looked at AGAIN... :/

Couple weeks ago, though, I installed the JBA front bumper and LOVE IT!! Thanks, tommudd for the suggestion!

Fixin' her up, one piece at a time.

Would really still rethink the front shocks , those
are light weight for a KJ really.
The rears will work ok , ..........

Lowes has went down hill over the years I think, used to be pretty good, anymore......:emotions34:

Let her gather some dust in the garage today...

 

[Aceofspades]

Headlights work fine off road / on road.
Cv shafts done
Intermediate shaft done.
Neither of them appeared bad at all and everything came apart easily
Removed all the mud from inside my rotor vents and behind knuckles
Don't think I'll be doing any more mud bogs any time soon. There's still mud I places I can't reach...

I don't have as many little clunks going on over road ripples or uneven roads like gravel but I still have a clunk / pop sometimes.
I guess the hunt isn't over yet ....

Same here :favorites68:

Lowes is more convenient to me but I usually go to Home Depot anymore. There's never anyone to ask a question at Lowes and the last few times I went, what I wanted was out of stock. I even ordered a big old box of cedar shingles from HD and had it delivered for almost nothing. :gr_grin:

 

[HoosierJeeper]

Menards is my favorite...although Home Depot usually has a better garden center. Everything else for the house usually comes from Menards. Love the rebates!

 

[Leeann]

I have 2 Home Depots within 3 miles - 1 small one a mile away and a huge one 3 miles away. If neither has what I need, I have to go about 10 miles to a huge HD or a huge Lowe’s. All of them around me are disorganized (people who can’t put something back in the bin they just pulled it from SUCK) and it’s hard to find help, but they have what you need if you know what to get.

No Menards around here. Southern States and Tractor Supply are pretty good and helpful. I used to like 84 Lumber but none around me here. A couple of good Ace and True Value stores around. Back in the day I could get everything at Grossman's or the corner hardware store... :Bye:

 

[Kal-El]

Home Depot is 100 yards from my doorstep, plus they still give military discounts. I rarely need any customer service, so they're my go-to.

i'm not going to disagree. the OSB even feels like it's lower quality. I like the 20% off I can get with careful planning of coupon codes, but I'm going to have to reject getting lumber from them from now on I guess. Boxed things are just boxed things.

 

[Aceofspades]

Local lumber yards FTW

I replaced the front differential and transfer case fluids this afternoon. I had done the rear differential about 60k ago, doing that perhaps this weekend. I had never done the front in the time ice owned the jeep... Nor the t-case.

I feel ashamed and guilty for having ever drove this this the last 70,000 miles ice owned it. The t-case fluid came out like dirty water. The front diff was like dirty motor oil. Not at all like what those fluids should be.

ATF+4 in the t-case and Valvoline synthetic 75w90 gear oil in the diff. Beautiful.

Anyone who hasn't done theirs, get off your butt. It was easier than an oil change. But save yourself the mess and buy the $9.99 quart pump with hoses.

^^After I did my T-Case it was noticeably smoother shifting in and out of 4WD. When the snow hits you will be even more glad you did it.

That was my thinking... Before good ol Michigan winters get here.. I still need to do the rear differential and Transmission fluid and filter too. After that, I should be good to go!

I was just shocked at how simple it was to do. More shocking than that was how easily the front diff drain plug came out.... Eek. Barely any effort required at all.
