What did you do to your TJ today?

Raced home (as best as Bruiser can) to catch this sunset :D

Only issue there is grease leaking out. The zerk has a spring and ball to keep from pushing out. May be able to find a rubber plug to stick in there.

RE core 4x4 grease zerks:

Email from seller if anyone cared.
I asked why they are on the bottom and said a few guys on forums don't like that.


"Simply for ease of access. We sell a needle zerk now to eliminate that problem. Also, customers will take out the zerks and put set screws in when they are not needed. Let me know if I can help with anything else, thanks!"

I love that they sell set screws. I'm going to get a set for it. Love the idea. So it seems there are a couple fixes.

What are you working on?

Maintenance really... had to jack hammer some older concrete out that's all but crumbled away and replace with some new stronger stuff...Hopefully the forklifts will stay off it for a few days while it hardens...Also painting some 10 foot columns in safety yellow to stop the forklift drivers hitting them..( to be honest if your hitting some 12 foot columns that are 3 foot square you need your eyes tested haha )

Sounds like forklift drivers need a little driver's training.

Replaced all the ball joints, new track bar, Currie tie rod, tie rod ends, drag link, and the best jeep work for last....my new Bartact seat covers with before and after pics :)

On top of all that, displayed the WWII jeep with the Broomfield Veterans Memorial Museum, and met some awesome WWII, Korean, Vietnam, and OIF Veterans. A damn good Veterans Day !
God Bless our Vets-

Went to Mountain Top Mud Bogs and got her dirty. Jeep did great and only got stuck once (high centered when backing out over a set of wheel ruts). Only scare was when I parked her to get some food and saw muddy fluid pour out from the gas tank skid pate. Put my hand in there and smelled no gas so relieved that it was only a drain hole.

Cleaning her up tomorrow will not be fun.
