What did you do to your Jeep today?

[Mudderoy]

I backed into a tree limb, while driving in the creek.

Did you think they were shooting at you! :smiley-laughing021:

I guess your collision avoidance system was down, or the limb was too small to register as a threat.

Hey let us know what you have to do to get that fixed. Whether it's a do-it-yourself, or get it replaced professionally. You know someone else will be in your position sooner or later! :popcorn:

wow donovan needs to rest... LONG day! cant speak good engrish lol to degrease the engine is easy man just buy a can of engine brite... white can orange cap http://www.gunk.com/webassets/word_documents/Gunk_Engine_Brite_EB_10_24_07.jpgand follow directions... just make sure your motor is running while doing this so water wont build up in your distributor and crap out

[msmoorenburg]

Also keep water away from the exaust mani unless you like cracks:thumbdown:

[bluedragon436]

Tracked down my exhaust and verified it is at the house and waiting for me to get home and install it... Tried talking my wife into unpacking it, adn sending me pics... she said I'll be home soon enough...

[TeXJ]

[bigjim350]

i lost my brakes . pulled up to intersection no brakes :eek: had some yesterday .. go figure :headshake:

[Jeepster19]

Hey TeXJ,I used " Castrol Super Clean" to degrease the engine&clean the undercarriage.Directions say the engine must be cold&dry.Let sit awhile so it penetrates,the heavy deposits you will have to take a brush too.This stuff works great and has no smell.The Gunk product works well also but it really stinks,even after the engine is dry,takes a while for it to burn off completely.Good luck on cleaning your motor.:thumbsup:

[bigjim350]

cool thanks, seems like i just need to read directions, i was just wondering about the coil and other electronics, did you use a water hose or just the solutions and let them run off?

Interesting rear hatch protection...you running tube front fender flares?

[DETOURS]

Hatch protection is known as "Boomerangs"......I think they're dropped from the website currently.....but they can be made anytime.....

She's a flat fender XJ.....:cool:

http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f136/corncrawler/RollingFelony/11-6-10021.jpg

Well......took'er for that limp ride.....lots of banging, creaking, groaning....and the open exhaust did'nt help...:rotfl2:....excellent turning radious though, the 36's did'nt rub.......back in the shop for more tweaking.....:thumbsup:

[Lije]

Today was an almost complete waste of time working on my jeep.

The only productive thing I did today was getting my rear hatch to stay open.

Project number two was to take the bezel off of my instrument panel to try to fix the light behind my air control unit. I soon realized that I couldn't figure out how to get to the light after I got the screws out of the unit. (Waste of about 2 hours)

Project number three was to replace my dummy gauges with a useful instrument cluster (since I already had the bezel off) and the sun set soon after starting that. It is now sitting in pieces outside until I start again tomorrow.

I guess I shouldn't have waited until after noon until start but I really don't like working outside in the morning when it is still 30 or so degrees. We will see what the weather does tomorrow.

Are those aftermarket flat finder flares or is that something you made. I just trimmed mine and was thinking of doing flat fenders but not sure if I should buy after market or build my own. Those are really sharp and that is one bad*ss XJ.

[ice_cold]

Looking at the Jeep and its extras, then suddenly thought...." It's got round headlights"!

[TeXJ]

he made it, he has a build thread somewhere on here.

[bigjim350]

Drove the Jeep with ALL the windows in it. Thanks to Matt :thumbsup:

[DETOURS]

Yes, I built the fenders, tube actually wraps the entire front end of the Jeep, the fenders were then built off that......all done at the same time I did the roundy round headlight conversion.

I'll be doing the rear in tube as well, I'll document that here........better yet, maybe I'll actually start that build thread and cover as much as I can concerning the XJ.....:camera:

Broke my car flag poles drilling holes in them to try a new way of mounting them to the roof rack last night. I was trying to think of another way to fly them when I realized I could just clip one to the antennae (It actually took about 15 minutes before I realized this) Now I need to get a taller antennae for the other side so I can have both back on.

Looks good... you should have painted your bumpers as well.. I have a friend of mine that has a XJ just like yours... if I wasn't trying to lift mine right now, I would buy it, and do the same ting... and probably would lift it... would care less if it got damaged than mine... but oh well... not worth it to me right now

[bigjim350]

I just have to break the tire down on the tire machine, remove the trash and remount it. I hope

Ordered and got my TC drop as well as got a good deal on a hardly used set of sway bar disconnects (wasn't planning on getting these right now, but got a good deal)... almost there as far as all of my parts collected..

Did an oil/filter change on the Panda. Its supposed to freeze and snow here this week, so I changed my antifreeze too. Also had a buddy of mine weld my driver's seat back onto the bracket since I can't weld for crap, it had a pretty bad gangster lean lol.

I gotta replace my motor mount driver side... was it pretty simple? like unbolt remove or did you have to jack the engine around to get it lined up properly?

I think you have to jack it up so you can get the motor mount off.

I jacked the engine up and removed the entire mount and bracket. Seemed a lot easier to do it that way, oh and other than 1 bolt I did all the work from underneath.

[TeXJ]

yeah just support the motor, and undo the mount. and replace.

[DETOURS]

We drove ours......well, the wifes that is, about 700 miles........about 280 into it we stopped at Micky D's around 7:30am..........came out and there was a Suburban on 48's and an un godly boody fabbed lift painted in drag next to our little streeter....the guy was wicked nice, great humor......he was sporting 22's with those 48"s......no pics, camera was burried........:thumbdown:

Actually......2 Thumbs Up on the Suburban...........it was beyond street.

Took the Jeep wheelin and the 3 mud hole the water pump bearing went out :sad0147:

[XJ4IV]

Yeah I was lookin at it from topside... then I walked under the jeep and noticed how much easier it would be to perform from underneath

[rguignard]

well went wheeling on friday and broke my jeep i put a stick through the radiator so i called it a day early came home to install a new one get it done and guess what the alt goes out sooo i go get one of them and i dont get to wheel my jeep on sat ( i ride with bigjim350 thanks again jim ) i put the new alt in and what a pita that was. at least my ac needed charged and im going to make it into oba anyway i had to remove my dryer to get the alt out ????? wth was jeep thinking when they did that ? well shes all back together and it all works so its done :smiley-laughing021::thumbsup:

[prcjeep]

Well yesterday morning I headed out in the Jeep to Lubbock. Made it nearly into gatesville(maybe ganesville, dont remember) and the alt went out and ran several red lights to get off the highway and into the orielly's parking lot. Um, I have to agree with you Rene, Wth was Jeep thinking when they designed where it went. So the guy opened early for me and my buddy at 7:15. I had minimal tools and a busted 3/8th drive ratchet but after 6 hours in the Orielly's parking lot I was on my way again to Lubbock. I had to remove the bracket that bolts onto the block to remove it and had a heck of a time getting it out from below thanks to the skid plate. Putting the new one in was more fun(the casing seemed to be just slightly larger. After an hour of swear words and frustration i romoved the fan shroud and fan and in it went.
EDIT: I also removed the battery and battery tray so I could have access otherwise I would have had no chance in the Orielly's parking lot.

But what I did to it today, since that is the thread topic, is I drove it home from Lubbock in 8 hours. Good road trip for sure.

[JENSSEN]

New seals and bearings in the Rubicon, Tuned , welded and re-wired the neighbors 98 XJ, helped with yet another fan motor and kicked the the tires on the MJ thinking about what to di with the big XJ. Next clean the shop on Tuesday and start on the MJ surgery

[toebee97]

I'm about to drive mine go over to pick up some different wheels. They're crappy chrome mods, but they have 2" backspacing, so my tires won't be so close to my leafs anymore. They got a little surface rust, but I'll probably just hit them with some rust killer and then spray line them. The guy wants 20 bucks for all 4 wheels and tires. I could probably make that back on the Goodyears alone. :thumbsup:

Hell why are you asking what I did to my jeep today.... you all know there is no need to rub it in ....lol

[brandonlp]

sure ill do a full write up, its a pretty cheap system to build roughly 150 bucks. except for my tank i had it sitting around from when i had my subaru, the accusump tank runs 240 bucks, but you can pick up a 1 gallon tank for 20-40 bucks online. ill be doing a full write up for you guys this weekend with all the parts and where i got them from.

I got my heat back finally..... flushed the heater core again, using the air compressor instead of water... and then filled the hc with CLR and let it set for 8-10 minutes... then flushed with water pushed by air a few times and then repeated again... heat works like a champ again... and just in time as we started getting hit with flurries as soon as I got home from the test drive and cleaned up all tools...

[XJ Rat]

All the below are ideas for walking thru a U-Pull-It-Yard. I think anyone who owns a Jeep knows at least one of these yards.

If you need extra switches or aux fuse boxes, look in the conversion vans. They all had many switches and electrical accessories.

Mid 90's Chevy cars had a primary fuse box and and a smaller auxilliary fuse box from the factory. The aux box has 3 relays, 4 maxi fuses, and 6 mini fuses.

2000-2005 Chevy Monte Carlos have rearview mirrors that have the button for adjusting for glare and they have map lights built in. If your Jeep has lighted vanity visors or overhead console you already have power up there. The Chevy rearview mirror uses the same mount as your Jeep. It is simply a matter of swapping the mirrors.

Mid 90s to mid 00s Chryslers (mainly mini vans and LeBarons) have relays in the engine compartment that have the 'hoods' on them. Look around and you can find 1, 2, 3, and 4 relay assemblies mounted with brackets.

Many different trucks and cars with auto transmissions have aux coolers from the factory. These have good mounting brackets (not the zip ties that go thru the radiator). Nab a small one for a power steering cooler.

Bring needle nose pliers and get yourself some spare fuses in any amperage desired.

Don't forget to take dykes, a razor blade and deadblow hammer (all handy items, do not forget them, ask me how I know).


Oh, in keeping with the OP theme, I got a bracket out of a Ford car to mount the aux fuse box under the hood. Also picked up one of the underhood lights on a reel. Cleaned 'em up. Now I just have to mount them.

dude... thats the coolest innovation Ive seen in a while as far as JY upgrades...and come to think of it pretty much all of the high end first body style dodge durangos also have that same feature on their rearview... I just never thought of that!
and those of you looking for hood vents... think outside the box and look at MOST pontiac vehicles... the have some odd looking vents on almost every 90's models vehicles that if your good you can remove al the hardware and use it to make some really BA hood vents!

I've asked about the VW several times. It's a real junker but it's always there. One of the mechanics owns it and drives it to and from work every day! :thumbsup:

[XJ408]

hey Mudderoy where did your Cowl Induction?

[bigjim350]

MMMMMmmmmmmmmm......I love patina, what'cha gonna do with it?

That is the next rat rod project. The patina on it is perfect, and its staying that way. The plans are to remove the flatbed, shorten the wheelbase, Z the front and rear frame, and ditch the front fenders. Gonna keep the flathead V8 too.

[msmoorenburg]

[cantab27]

xmas morning here rene ,,, will get out and have a lookee soon ,,,,front pulley thingy has come away ...i think its that , was dark ...

[Firemanray]

I didn't do anything today but drive it back home from my trip to Galveston Island. Now, on my way down there I had to change a front wheel bearing assembly in the O' reilly parking lot in some seedy east side nieghborhood in Houston. (Gun in one hand wrench in other!)

[bigjim350]

Well I replaced one sloppy hub bearing with a better used one. All went well, until I tightened the last bolt. I broke a caliper bolt in the knuckle. Tried to drill out and fix, and ended up making it worse. So I am gonna fix it the easy way and throw another knuckle on it.
