past few nights after work the drafty garage has been reasonably well enough temp wise to work a little at a time on the jeep.
nothing is majorly needed but so far.. new plugs, new oil/filter, new air filter & started on the cleaning and fresh lubing of the brakes only to find my newish front knuckles are worn again.
pulled out the mig welder and laid a little bead on all the notches
im not the best at welding.. ive got a welder and I understand the concept. welding was the easy part but the grinding the weld down to finger smooth was the difficult part being that the welded material was so hard and nicking the non welded area with the grinder just took it off like butter. took some focus to clean it up. done for the night though because kneeling on cold concrete isnt very much fun.
I also found that unfortunately my Mercedes steering gear is leaking fluid at the sector shaft when I was crawling around the front end so I got that outrageous replacement part cost to look forward to.
