What did you do to your TJ today?

Installed a 6x fuse/relay box in about the only available semi-reasonable location. I should have installed something like a 10x when I first got the Jeep, but here I am. If it weren't for a "BCH", nothing would fit on these Jeeps!

In other news, I lost a socket the other day and didn't even know it. Now I do - I'll leave it to you guys to figure out what size it was... ;)

Crap....Input seal on the Tcase is good....it's the Input shaft it has a tiny scratch🙃

Gonna use some "Ultra fine" scotch Brite stuff from summit,clean it up and put on a new seal on the New Ax15.....And if it leaks again I'm gonna have to buy a new Inout shaft and tear apart the tcase 🙃 The leak (I'm talking small weeps of oil I didn't notice till I actually looked after alot of driving,I was going a nut&bolt check and I noticed the teeny bit of oil🙃)
I wonder if I over filled my trans ? Did roughly ->3.7 quarts,went to drain whatever came out from the fill port (oil came rushing out,made a mess too🙃)

Edit-I couldn't tell the difference from the fluid in my Tcase cause it has "Rowe 9008" about the same color as the valvoline synchromesh,In Hindsight It looks the same (color wise) But my Tcase seal is good,but it's the Input shaft🙃
About 5 mins straight of hitting it with a oil soaked ultra fine scotch Brite pad and I don't even feel a thing when I run a my fingernail across the "scratch" she's mint....

Edit #2 - Welp about 10minss worth of actual labor,you can barely tell,if oil up the shaft (Pause😳) the scratch goes away,Kinda like scratches on paint that go away when soaked in water type of deal so that's good?....

Opinions?

Edit #3 - Its "gone" 😁 You gotta actually look at it and you'll see the "ghost" like imprint. I'll see if i have room for a Extended seal,if so ill use that,if not I'm confident it'll seal,Not the 1st time I've been through this,except that this time it's on a Tcase/Trans. Application!

Did my rear shocks of course the previous mechanic did some hackery. So I had to sit there with a carbide bit grinding down a bolt head. But hey I got a fresh set of Rancho Rs5000's now.View attachment 640230
Only this that Annoys me is one boot came black instead of red but you'll barely see them anyway.View attachment 640229View attachment 640231

The boots usually do more bad than good. They end up trapping in mud and moisture.

Most attend to just not run them at all. The shock seal will keep out the badness. But if you like them that's your call.
 
Putting more miles on my Freshly Ax15 swapped Lj 😁
Went to the Ole Summit racing scratch&dent picked up a sparco seat for cheap😁 ($228)
It's a %25 off day because of labor day Couldn't pass it up!

That looks just like my booster seat lol
 
Heading towards Provo, north on i15 we passed a small town called Fillmore…
Grabbed an Arbys turkey sandwich and spotted the Jeep Guy Museum.
It was closed as it’s only open on Saturdays 🙄 but there was some cool stuff sitting outside.

Six months after moving to beautiful Georgia from hot and marvelous Texas, I finally got around to actually changing tyhe plugs in my 2006 LJR. Was getting P0303 on and off for about 3 weeks and bought the plugs about 4 months ago. Cancer surgery and radiation put Jeep work on hold. I would not wish that on anyone!
Almost healed, temperature in the 70's and ready to work — could not find the plugs. Bought new plugs, Champion 7304. Had to set the gap on every one. Most were set around .050; changed to .035. Getting the coil pack off was the hardest part of the whole project. My '78 CJ had one vacuum line and 2 heater hoses. This thing has got more pipes, hoses, and wires than I could count. And, that connector on the end! What rocket scientist came up with that?
Eventually got old plugs out - they were the originals and had rusted pretty well to the block. A little penetrating oil took care of that and out they came. Every one of them was at least .050". Number three was almost .070". I don't know how it even sparked. Well, I guess it didn't sometimes, hence the error codes.
Got it all back together and she runs like new. No misses, smooth idle, and no codes. Garage wanted $150 to do this. Only took me four hours.
BTW, getting old sucks (75). I finally have all the tools, but I don't have the energy to use them. I suspect the radiation may have had something to do with that.
Anyway, got 'er done and runs great. Thanks, Everybody!

Had radiation couple years ago. Now doing immunotherapy. Cancer sucks! Glad tou got it done and hope your cancer stays gone.
 
Finally found the perfect Duck to keep people from giving you Ducks!!

You put this on your dash and the animal rights activist will ban your jeep from ducking!!!!!

Can you get me one with a noose around its neck, to hang from my rear-view mirror? It's the simple things that keep the newer Jeep crowd ducks away from my Jeep.
