Eastcoastcam Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Changed u-joint in the front DS. f***, it's more work taking the belly plates off and putting them back on, than to chage the joint at the front diff end of the shaft !!

TomWood Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Installed new strut and lift in the front left of the jeep on sunday, still need to replace the right side and put the rear springs in. Hopefully be able to do that soon, also have a bearing kit for my rear end that I need to put in. Slowly getting it back to the condition I need it to be in.

sar4x4 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Last night when checking the old girl over before the weekend, I also installed some used-to-be chrome parts. I like the black on yellow look much better than the chrome on yellow. Passenger side - still chrome. Driver side - now black. One of the four rain gutters that are now black. And the bases of the clearance lights I think I will do also! So I'll keep at 'er! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yes, the black looks WAY better than chrome. Especially with the CAT yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yup, digging the black. My skidplate is bent again. I'll have to pull it back off and persuade it a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 A while ago I had added some 'labels' to my dash. The two on the upper face of the dash were peeling off, because it isn't a smooth surface. So yesterday I replaced all three with 'plaque' style ones. I had these made over a month ago! I did this to make me feel good about something while I was looking over the brake and handling problems. I'll get to the Rally pics yet! Can't get them off my phone right now.

autumnwalker Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 pulled my driveline skidplate back off - looking at alternative options now, would rather not put this one back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 pulled my driveline skidplate back off - looking at alternative options now, would rather not put this one back on. It is better than nothing, till you find an alternative. That is, of course, if you can tolerate the vibration sound of it on your exhaust until the alternative is found and installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertMcC Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Change the Engine Oil - Was over due. Pulled the RR axle, Had to fix a stud ( that holds it on the housing ) Pulled the Driveshaft ( never been removed before WHAAT FUN ) Heat and Deep Creep Pulled the 3rd Member, Resealed it ( GUY was right she ain't light but should fix my diff leak ) Changed the Rear Brake lines and Wheel cylinders ( broke a line so might as well do it ) Noticed the backing plates are getting rotten so have to change those soon, Weld a bracket on the diff for the ebrake cable. Maybe order some SS brake lines for the rear and a new crush washer for the fill/drain plug. This wasn't a fun driveway job. But I made it...
