SQRLPWR Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Nice JJ...what's the plan with those goodies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram5.9 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just waiting for the delivery of a couple more parts to start my long arms. Next step will be to pick up some DOM tube, approx. 52 inches per arm which makes it a little expensive. The 5.13s are a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Got the Scout back in the 'barn' last night. It had been outside at my brothers for the last month while I overhauled the cooling and hearing system.She is now safely back inside my gf's garage. That old soft top leaks a bit around the doors, probably wouldn't take kindly to too much UV, etc. I can do minor repairs inside the heated, lit garage, etc etc. I think it's safer out of sight. It's much closer to where I live. And my gf usually cooks supper when I go over to work on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram5.9 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm waiting on the delivery of a universal Trac bar mount which I ordered first. Its the key piece which determines the lenght of my arms. I'm pushing the axle forward as far as possible without changing the OEM steering. I need to fit 40s without going higher.

SQRLPWR Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Very cool....I also might need to buy a track bar mount. Was toying with the idea of making one to save $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram5.9 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 You could. I believe the mount was around 70 bucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Dropped the trans pan to change the valve body. I'm hoping that this is what is causing the problems I've been having. From what I've read, it could be. The Jeep is perfectly drivable the way it is, so if it doesn't fix it, it would just have been a waste of money for the fluid.I'm also going to change the rear diff fluid in it, and straighten the cover at the bottom where it's bent out some.

SQRLPWR Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Would be nice to find the problem even if it's working good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram5.9 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 So I take it that wasn't you in the ditch at the entrance to the range. Rushing to get my son to a birthday party, really didn't get a good look.X same colour as yours, hood was up and it was cover mud??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram5.9 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 There was a silver 4 runner on top of the hill, so he was alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Nope, wasn't me. Well the other valve body is in, and pan is on. Just waiting for the rtv to finish setting before I fill it up. I took the plate that holds the valves in place off the valve body that I removed, and where one of the valves seats, was broken. I'm guessing that could cause improper pressure, and cause the low speed gear hunting. I'll find out for sure when I drive it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacoMitch Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Put new pads and calipers on the Taco yesterday and adjusted the rear brakes. Both calipers had seized, one of the front pad backs had turned purple from heat lol I can finally make it up hills with some sort of ease and I can finally stop! AND I don't have a wheel shake anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111Taco is officially at 100% once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoMitch Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Oh and I replaced a pulley bearing.. So no more supercharger/powersteering sounding noise :) happy and sad moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Well..... It started out shifting perfectly, and not surging at lower speeds, but as soon as it heated up, it started doing it again. I have no clue what it could be now.

Eastcoastcam Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Changed the driver side CV axle on the Overland yesterday... I don't think they have ever been out of there... The boot was torn and it probably got finished off from when we took it out on the Pipeline a couple weeks ago, after mud and crap got into it...

derekmac Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Changed the rear diff fluid today, and hooked up the heated seats. The drivers seat doesn't work though, so the elements must be broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Changed the rear diff fluid today, and hooked up the heated seats. The drivers seat doesn't work though, so the elements must be broke. Easy to check... Just have to take the cover off the seat and look for the break, and solder in a new connection. Or order a generic heating pad if it is not repairable and just connect it to the existing wiring to the switch. ...it's easier with the seat completely out of the Jeep, but a bit of a PIA to get the cover off. Easier coming off than going back on though ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekmac Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yeah, I really should have wired it and checked it a couple of months ago, ya know, when the days were longer and it wasn't getting cold, lol.So.... I did more reading on the problems I've been having, and quite a few had similar symptoms, and it was their TPS. I found how to test the TPS, the the one that was in the Jeep was reading WAY off. The other one I have is off quite a bit, but it is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
