Command Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Received my 36" LED light bar and tried it out with my other 20" one. Wired it all up and prepped everything, could not mount it due to still waiting for my Xoskel mount to come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 If you are buying wheel bearings try Motion on Akerley. I buy all my bearings there, half the price of NAPA, Canadian Tire, etc. EXCEPT - you have to know the bearing number! That is usually easy, just read it off the old one, or find it on the web! Same with seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudandmore Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Rebuilt a 2.5 coil over today... My first here at home, not quite the same as doing at the factory...lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUXterra Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Replaced my front brake pads, no issues. Parking brake has been soft and a bit of odd wear on the rear disc (thought it was seized slide pins) so took apart the rear as well. Outcome: PB shoes as thin as birch bark & rear inner pads fell away from the backing while removing...guess that's why my PB hasn't worked since Dec and the brake pedal goes a little further to the floor than usual ;) X will be on stands until I get new pads, shoes & a kit tomorrow.

TRUXterra Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Mounted my winch solenoid control box to the side of the air box. I'll post pics tomorrow after I re-install. Also fixed the gas door spring...finally after 4 years, it closes firm against the body. Only took it popping off today to find a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Replaced a battered exhaust gasket Bought a cheepo angle grinder from CrappyTire, was 70, down to 20 and I got 5 off that on an in-store CrappyTire scratchcard - woohoo! Bought a new flex pipe section to replace the one on my Y pipe that I crushed on Bump'n'Grind....only to discover it's too short. Had some fun smoking out the 'hood by Seafoaming the motor :lol: Did some more detective work on my pesky P0420 & P0430 codes Googled some....realised the 2 codes started immediately after replacing my evap purge valve - Googled some more, found others with similar experiences with the evap purge causing these codes....gonna re-fit the old purge valve soon, see if the problem goes away and take it from there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Command Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Also fixed the gas door spring...finally after 4 years, it closes firm against the body. Only took it popping off today to find a cure. So that's where mine went :P Installed the wireless keypad, in my gas tank cover (yup she fits). Troubleshooted a light and ended up ordering another.
