[XJ4IV]

vacuumed it out for once the inside looked worse than the outside after wheeling

[troys96xj]

I replaced the axle u-joint in my ZJ.That was fun.

[tbone]

Well believe it or not I finally got my roof lights mounted and wired up, everything is working great, took lots of pics so I'll do a write up on it in a couple of day's. I know it's been a few months in the works but you have to work to feed the XJ, so when they call it makes me go. :smiley-laughing021::smiley-laughing021:

[toebee97]

I got me some cheap summer rollers from a buddy for $75. They're 30x9.50 Trailcats, still got about 1/4" till the wear bars. Found some Grand Cherokee coils and 2 1/2" spacers on Craigslist for $50! Probably goin to the SY today to look for a wrecked s10, wish me luck.

[alwaysxj]

did the cut and fold on the rear pannel so i can make a bumper. pics will come if you build it it will come.

[prcjeep]

checked the engine code that came on last Sunday... says P0420, I know its for the cat but time for some research

[4.3LXJ]

Worked on my rear springs today. I am determined to make it ride smoother in the back. I managed to lift it 1.5", but not smooth it out. Back at it tomorrow

[4.3LXJ]

Redid my bastard pack today. Took the Chevy S10 leaves out and put in Isuzu Rodeo leaves. 2" higher arch, but thinner leaves. Gives the same height but much softer. I may have hit it just right this time. Moved my lower shock mounts up 3" too.

Didn't think of using Rodeo leaves... How much lift did you get in the rear? Did you mix in the whole leaf pack with the xj pack? I'm definitely making a bastard pack for mine, so I'm curious what leaves you used for how much lift.

[4.3LXJ]

You get 3 or 4" depending on how you configure them with very good flex and better ride than the S10 leaves.

Today replaced bushings of UCAs and LCAs. Old rubber bushings of UCAs' were worn out, LCA seems normal. But replaced all of them.

Added small fuel filter in mid of PCV hose. Hope it will work and collect oil before entering to air filter.

It will collect oil, but unfortunately plug up and then oil will be forced out your dip stick. We have another member on here that did a similar thing and that is what happened to him.

Wow, will look continuously... what is the level of danger? is it determinable? Sudden oil pressure down etc?

[4.3LXJ]

This is a good question. I have never had it happen to me, but those who have had it happen can get rid of 1/2 point of oil at a time. My son owned a YJ for 30 minutes and 16 miles that did that

[XJ4IV]

I had my bumper welded together

Fixed my broken front brake hose

[Melissa]

I actually started up and drove my jeep today after it sat for more than 2 weeks

[4.3LXJ]

Fired up the welder and extended my rear shackles.

[Indiana Jeep]

Changed my oil, used the dremel to cut a few holes in the dash for some new rocker switches, and tried sketching out a couple new designs to replace the crappy plastic factory stock dash with something made of sheet metal, but I'm not much of an artist. :)

[XJ4IV]

Actually I lifted the DURANGO an inch today by tossing 33's on it I have plans to buy a BL (budget lift) for it VERY soon!!!

[Indiana Jeep]

Replaced my front brake pads. The old ones were worn down much more than I had realized.:shocker: But were still doin the job! :thumbsup: Added a couple more Baja lights to the front of the roof rack,:cool:going to run the wire in the morning. Put some rain-x on the windshield and then went down to DQ:driving: and sat on the hood eating ice cream with my girl.:D

[BlueXJ]

Drove it on errands to drugstore and cleaners. Later drove it to dinner and the bookstore.

[4.3LXJ]

Got it ready for another day of fun.

[cantab27]

went to unlock drivers side and key just turns and wont unlock, o well still go tailgate and passengers door....

[toebee97]

Put my new naxja sticker on my back window... wish my xjtalk sticker would come in the mail for the opposite corner :(

[4.3LXJ]

Well, I had my maps ready and my strategy all worked out. I was going to do some exploring in a place we call high lakes. I heard through the grape vine there was lots of snow up there so I thought I would go in the south end which is much lower and check it out that way. I got half way there and it started running at 210* going up hill so I stopped to fill that huge tank and see what was up. I only had one fan running. So I went back home to figure it out. Got the meter out and started chasing current and for the life of me I don't know what was up with it. I cooked a 50 amp relay with those fans of mine, so I am going to run two 30 amp relays now and do some other wiring differently. Couldn't buy stuff like that today. All the real auto parts stores were closed. So I bagged it.

[Four_X_What]

were you resting sat ? :thumbsup::smiley-laughing021:

Hmm I recall someone... "its not like im stuck", "can you move forward of backwards", "no","Then I think your stuck" I just cant remember who that was lol. Had a blast but I tore up my paint.

The Rhino lining is sounding like a very sound investment. About who much did it cost if you dont mind?

Ya Rene I dont remember either.

[OrangeXJ]

That was me that said that. But if you have a winch your never stuck :smiley-scared002:

I don't know how much it cost it was on it when I bought it. I have read other posts about people doing it and they bought the bead liner by the gallon ruffed up the paint and rolled it on. I've seen pics and it did not look bad. I can tell that mine was sprayed on.

[Four_X_What]

Is your that texture because it was sprayed? Or will the roll on coats do that?

[OrangeXJ]

I'm preaty sure you can get that texture rolling it on.

[ortan99]

I like that idea of this thread.Well i started of with washing my jeep.As i didn't go to office today thought of cleaning it.It was very dirty.Now its looking like new one.

[TeXJ]

what is that like...a clean jeep?

[alwaysxj]

cleaned and oiled my k&n filter.

[XJ4IV]

cleaned and oiled my k&n filter.

WOW thanks for the reminder dude LMAO I went to the dustbowl last weekend im sure mine is suffocating

I drove mine to the meet and greet for TX4WD.ORG which ended quickly as I got some bad news from home ... but the bad news not so severe as originally thought

[toebee97]

Today I had a heater hose issue, lost all my coolant, almost overheated. I was stuck in a McDonald's parking lot, and I was 15 minutes late for work already. Fortunately I had a piece of spare hose and some hose clamps in the back, so it got half-azz patched together using my leatherman lol. Good enough for now, but now I know what I'm doing when I get a day off.:smiley-laughing021:

[toebee97]

I have a milk crate in the back with a bunch of spare parts from my last xj, plus a little roll-up toolkit. Also I always carry a gallon of antifreeze with me too, so I wasn't stuck with no coolant. I had alot of roadside disasters with my old 89 xj, so I just got used to being prepared lol.

[Dirt Dogg Rydas]

replaced a wheel cylinder kit

[reddragon72]

I pulled my two front doors off but put them back on due to rain :-)

It looks pretty darn good!

[rguignard]

i broke it lol i broke the center pin in the rear spring and i fixed it with matts help :thumbsup:i bet it dont brake again :D

[4.3LXJ]

Broke mine too. Something in the steering. Death wobble at 10 mph

i didnt even talk about how many drill bits we went through did i but i bet the loose u bolts didnt help :shocker:

[OrangeXJ]

I looked at it today. Since I can't drive it does that count? :sad0147:

[MjPioneer]

Put my doors back on, a bit chilly today for such excitment

[TeXJ]

got my LCA skids welded on, i've had them for ~5yrs, And found out that my track bar bolt that goes through the "frame" mount, had snapped on the nut side and the head was sticking out by about an inch :shocker: So got that fixed with a new bolt/lock washer and nut.

Then went to go wheeling the next day...and the rear main blew out, smoke everywhere. Went to Oreily's and put in Bars rear main stop leak, drove for a few more miles then decided to turn back and go home, i was halfway there to the park, Bridgeport, tx. So on my way back it stopped smoking, but i feel its more of a temporary fix, so i need to get that fixed, hopefully it wont be too expensive, or I'll end up doing it... man thats a pain to do...

[4.3LXJ]

My track bar mount was loose on the frame. Tightened that up. Found my clunk on the steering arm, tightened that up. Ready to go wheeling again.

[Mudderoy]

Cut a big a$$ hole in my hood.
Covered it with cowl induction scoop.
Regapped my Champion plugs from .035 to .050

Well that must be due to the heat coming off the catalytic converter. I'm assuming there wasn't a heat shield there. You should put one there. Get one of those cookie sheets that is double layered and has an air gap in between the two layers. I think it's about a 1/4 thick, maybe less.

That wont work. Trust me it wont work. No matter what you coat those cookie sheets in they rust, and it doesn't take long. Also mounting points are a real issue because it cannot touch the exhaust or the body so it is hard to get them mounted up in there so they stay in place. I have an old century 21 sign under mine and it relieves just enough heat to get by with, but still not as good as glue on heat shielding and that is what I am doing next.

Here is another idea that I was thinking of doing.
http://www.britishv8.org/Articles/Muffler-Heat-Shields.htm

[Mudderoy]

On mine it has bolts going through the heat shield screwed into the body. You can spray the cookie sheet with several layers of high heat paint, or when you go to the junk yard just get a heat shield.

I've looked at several XJ's in the yards and have never came across a heat shield. I have heard of them being on there, but I have never found one. Been thinking of using the pipe wrap to do up the muffler, doubt it'll hold up to the cat's temps though.

I think that my heat issue is do to a stuck or failing injector. Sometimes I can smell gas in the tail pipe.

what do you think about this? http://www.thermotec.com/products/16500-muffler-cat-heat-shield.html It can be put right on the body so it is tucked up and out of the way and comes 24"x40" so there is plenty to work with.

oh ok, the flat(not shiny) aluminum bumpy looking stuff. Does that run the full length of the cat and muffler? and is it off of the body or right up on it?

what a weekend well friday/sat heres what i did to the jeep in 2 days

1. replace drivers seat (getto lean fixed)
2. upper ball joint replaced
3. new u-joints in front axles
4. got a deal on a procomp lift from pickapart (front springs,shocks,lower control arms) so the buget lift went bye bye :pee:
5. replaced rear u joint
6. new pan gasket and rear main seal
7. fixed the a/c in the jeep :thumbsup:
8. replaced the sterring column (tilt is fixed now) :driving:

[reddragon72]

Got it back from the shop, new front trans seal and bushing and rear main seal and oil pan gasket. fixed the rear bumper so it is no longer rubbing and pushing up the rear hatch. WD40'd the bolts on the left springs and shackle in prep for new leafs and shackles.

[TeXJ]

i was going to do the rear main seal today, but figured it out that it was the front seal on the tranny...any write up on that?

on a side note i couldnt get on the forums here for the past week.

[toebee97]

Tried to recharge my a/c, but evidently there is something wrong with the low pressure valve. Won't take any coolant. The needle valve looks ok, so I don't know what the heck the deal is.

[rguignard]

well today i did my wheelbearing and put my 2nd coil spring isolator in to make up the lift from my winch :smiley-laughing021:

You have to turn the can upside down and charge on the fat hose side.

[msmoorenburg]

Well the jeep is now at home :shocker: last night Rene and I fixed the 4wd low, and mounted the rack and swapped a 32x11.5r15 onto a spare rim (my spare) And i'm happy to report the a/c still cools after recharging in a week ago. So its time to install my tunes / mini flowmaster ,and start my search for rear shock and build a basterd pack

[Thomass]

I drove it for 400 km then one of the water hose blew... a real fountain...
i went hiking to the nearest garage/partsstore 60 km further left the rig al alone, to find out at the garage that i do not know the diameter of this hose. :mad0090:

[Deviate]

It's not exciting or cool, but I had the windshield replaced this morning. The old one was almost a solid side-to-side and top-to-bottom network of cracks and the rubber trim/seal around it flapped in the breeze. All good now! :thumbsup:

Spanky, how did you make those nice tight bends?

[DETOURS]

Pre-fabricated elbos, not the cast iron type.....if you need a source, pm me.

Thanks. I haven't decided exactly what I am going to do for tube fenders yet. I have to get the axles in and the 38s so I have an excuse to make them.:D

I'll be doing the rears soon, opening up for the 36's.........you'll be able to note how much easier it can be working with the elbos, rather than forming.

Oh those crazy PA. people.............:smiley-scared002:

[reddragon72]

I cleaned up sanded primered and painted my doors so the over all look is not so bad. And replaced the three o-rings on the oil filter adapter assembly( WHAT A FRIGN NIGHTMARE!!!)
Still have one other leak and I think it is my valve cover so I'm looking into that.

Also hoping to pick up my welder today!!!

That's to funny. I'm hoping to have a bumper built this weekend. :shocker:

[Mudderoy]

I wired up my over head efan aux override switch. I got a check engine light so I researched other circuit designs and rewired it last night. "Check Engine" light went away.

I re-tightened the bolts on the new track bar.
I re-adjusted the NP242 linkage.

I thought about then decided NOT to install the upper control arms from Ironmanfab4x4.com.

Maybe tonight!

[4.3LXJ]

Has that person learned his or her limits yet?

Yeah it looks easy to me but Andy has me scared. :rotfl2:

[reddragon72]

Yeah it looks easy to me but Andy has me scared. :rotfl2:

Why scared? The hardest part of the whole ordeal is rotating the axle to line up the holes, and I figured out a sure fired super easy way to do that :thumbsup:

[CT99XJ]

Swapped a non-vacuum disconnect D30 into my MJ, ran Seafoam through my XJ- some doucher filled my tank with ATF instead of gas when I let them borrow it. ven used MY ATF that was in the back of the Jeep for my tranny swap :(

[oderdene]

This morning, just in front of my office, when I left her I noticed coolant leak. Not so small green pool and showering from up, steam too. It was upper radiator hose, torn near to corner of battery. Took piece of pipe and set fastener with knife, temporarily fixed it.

[XJ4IV]

Installed new rear Dshaft u-joint assesed my design on gas tank skid and found my 20 gallon tank is now only about a 16 gallon thanks to a few rocks

yep I do that every weekend :thumbsup: right now I'm looking to make armor ofr the front LCA mounts on the axle. I only have 1/8 from an old BBQ pit so I'm looking for places that have scrape metal waiting to be tossed.

[Mudderoy]

I took out my replacement electric fan and put the factory one back in. Why? The connection to the OEM connector was FUBAR! I think it has a lifetime warranty so I'm taking this 2 year old $100 replacement e-fan back.

[cantab27]

drove it for the first time in about 3 to 4 weeks ... been too cold with no heat in the old girl and frosts in the mornings like this

[OrangeXJ]

I made brackets and mounted 2 more KC lights. Now it does not look like Mickey Mouse anymore lol. I'll post some pics when it stops raning.

[4x4Dalton]

Put shocks on the front and puttin the ones on the back tomorrow

[msmoorenburg]

finally got tunes in the Jeep front only, I got to figure out what the other guy did :thumbdown:

[msmoorenburg]

looks good matt now we just need to put the hoop on it :D
yea I need to scrape up the cash for the winch first

[Indiana Jeep]

Put in new rear speakers, removed the fiberglass headliner board, ran wiring underneath the trim along the ceiling and put the trim back up. Headliner fabric is falling down, so I figured go ahead and pull it out to redo it while I was working on the speakers. I kind of like the extra inch or two of headroom without the fiberglass board in. Might leave it out for the rest of the summer. From what I hear it's hard to keep warm in the wintertime without it in so I'll probably put it back up in a couple months. Don't like the thought of just putting more foam and fabric up so I might just paint it.

[4x4Dalton]

Put the shocks on the back today. Now its play time.

[rugidone]

Over the weekend I started fabbing a winch bumper for the front(far from done, but the winch is on), snapped off every steering box bolt and spent a day running around trying to repair those, stuck on a new decal, greased all the joints and installed a new steering wheel cover.

Now I just have to figure out where the heck my clamp went from the lower rad hose and eliminate my Heater Control Valve.

[alwaysxj]

well i took off my rear bumper and gave it to a guy for a roof rack...




but my other bumper will be done soon.

[Mudderoy]

Cracked open the NP242. Another stretched chain. Removed chain and put it back together. Drove to work... :patriot:

[rugidone]

Chased down a bad misfire and solved a couple other problems while i was at it.

[Thomass]

changed (replaced) the front windscreen

[rguignard]

bent my inner frt fender seams over and welded on my lca skids well i did that yesterday :smiley-laughing021:to early to do it today

[Indiana Jeep]

Drove to work, drove home, thinking. It sure would be nice to have a sun roof. A few years ago I looked into getting one but was told that with the built in ridges on the roof it would be impossible to seal and would always leak. Now I'm thinking there's gotta be a way to make it work just need some hammerin and a little effort. Think I may be heading to the salvage yard to see if there is anything available.

[GreenXJosh]

Changed oil - I've always ran Valvoline Conventional but, after some brief research and getting some advise, today I tried VR1. Some people told me to run the VR1 for a while (a few hundred miles) then drain it and refill.

I just got home from errands and saw a fresh drip of coolant on the driveway... so it looks like I'll be spending the next few hours workin' on that.

[Indiana Jeep]

Picked up some wire. Going to add some led lighting to the speakers on the roof in the cargo area, and maybe some in the dash.

Ran the wire's and mounted the switch for the ECTED locker that will be installed on Tuesday.

[rugidone]

Kicked a dent out of my fender and looked at my lack of turn signal lenses from getting pinned between two trees wheeling at 2am.

Apparently while heading for a tight trail dubbed "short wheelbase" we took a wrong turn which took me to a treestand. Didn't know we were on the wrong trail until my frontend got pinned in between two trees, looked up and saw the floor of a treestand.

Got turned around and on the right track and gave my heep a workout going up that trail and up carnage hill(no damage)

[msmoorenburg]

took it out for its first wheelin trip :driving:

[rugidone]

When I stuffed my 33s on under my 3 inch lift, I had a heck of a time turning without rubbing (was fine with stock wheels other than my leaf spring rub and control arm rub :D)
So I had to cut a chuck off behind my tires.

[rguignard]

Looks pretty flexy to me

[TeXJ]

technically this was yesterday...but oh well, i was busy.

So I went over to a friends house to do some cutting and general look over. So what i found out is that all four of my ball joints...bad, but not too bad. So they go on the to do list... :thumbdown:


Working on the end of the exhuast that got pinched by some rocks. It made it sound like i had a fart can on there :rotfl2: we just cut out the part that was bent up. so i have a bigger opening, but the cut makes the opening parallel to the ground, so no harm done.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/TeXJ2424/8a40ef3d.jpg


Then on to trimming: I kept getting in the the lower rear corner of my fender on one side...my friend pointed out that i hadnt gone back as far on that one side as i did on the other side. Problem solved.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v698/TeXJ2424/b67be8bd.jpg








http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3jGkIOisKg

^ video of it hitting the front, so that got whacked off too (insert whacking smiliy, i couldnt find it)


Then the front got lubed up with grease and checked balljoints and other joints up there, and then checked my track bar johnny joint/lubed that too.

afterwards, we got to play a bit.

Well i wheeled it saturday now i get to find out why it died twice and wouldn't restart :thumbdown:

[TeXJ]

that hole looks like fun man were is that???

mesquite, the part to get to creek said no trespassing, but the other way to get in that has no signs was almost impossible. Its a lil spot with the creek, but fun non the less.

[Indiana Jeep]

Finally got a new drivers seat. It's from a 1997 Grand Cherokee so I had to take off the base. Snapped the head off of two of the bolts but it's on and stable! My stock seat has been falling apart for years, no more rocking chair while driving! The only thing I don't like is it leans back slightly farther than what I'm used to but it'll do.

[rugidone]

I neatly packed my jeep full of junk.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j36/rugidone/HPIM8578.jpg

[4.3LXJ]

Uh, isn't some of that supposed to be bolted on the front?

[rugidone]

Theres already one on the front, guess that ones the spare, sadly from what I have read it might not make much of a spare I think its a 2008 model Gorilla winch.

[oderdene]

replaced steering damper (Monroe - beefier than stock); front brake pads (NAPA); rear brake components (cylinder, all small parts, shoes), (all NAPA); cleaned brake fluid tank

Let me know when you get that motion detector, it's simple to hook up the tough part is finding a place to mount it.

[Mudderoy]

I bent one of my lower control arm mounts. Not a lot but enough to mess up the centering on the steering wheel. I forgot about it Sunday, so I had to drive to work with the speedo display covered up. I'll have to adjust the drag link tonight. I gotta get me a bag and put some basic tools in it for the Jeep!

[Indiana Jeep]

Picked up a few things at the salvage yard. Put on a gear shift handle from a Grand Cherokee.

I hit one a couple of years ago. The bumper skid plate knocked it down flat and rolled it under the axles. It got up and ran home.

Finally got around to putting in hood vents. Still have a little work to do once the silicone sets and cures

A big thanks to MrJCRod for the write up and idea. Obviously none of this was mine, I just copied his patterns and style. Saw another write up with the additional 2 vents at the front edge but I can't find it again to give proper thanks to the writer.

Pulled my exhaust manifold off to weld up the small crack, busted my power steering/tensioner bracket, and mangled my exhaust flange, got all of that straightened out and put the manifold back on. Still leaks, but its much much quieter now.
