Making progress on fixing my wadded up frame
What did you do to your TJ today?

I see now that I should probably take the time to tuck those solenoid to motor wires from behind and below rather than hanging out all pretty like, right?!?

New ujoints on the front shaft. And that g^%%<%#d double Cardin joint!!
Never messed with one of those before. What a joy!!
Parts store gave me the wrong ujoints first. Another trip back to town!!
Anyhow done now after “several” hours.
How does the ball get greased? I packed it good upon reassembly. Looks like maybe a grease fitting was there, but ground smooth now for some reason.

You have to use a needle-tip greaser with your grease gun.

Passed CA smog today with just over 180K miles on the ‘03…
Installed a Barnes 4x4 bolt on skid plate.
In order to do that I had to remove a set of MML blocks and installed a set of adjustable control arms.
The CAs are generic and the cheapest I could find, BUT they are solid and have OE style rubber bushings.
I also had to trim my spring perches so the shocks would clear.
She sits with 16” of clearance from floor to skid plate now.

Axle shafts back in, bolted up the new hubs and dust shields with Never-Seeze applied to mating surfaces:
Next up, static locker test per the PowerTrax instructions.

Drove “Up North “ for my annual trout opener fishing trip. I take the loooong way up and back through the Huron National Forest.
Last year and this the weather hasn’t been kind to northern Michigan, lots of trees down and flooding. Had to do some lumber jack shit , sometimes only to have to double back due to way too many downed trees. These were two I got all the way through. The second one was a spring loaded bastard… especially without cell service.
Had a little fun with ChatGTP (that shit is crazy realistic!)did a little fishing. Didn’t catch anything due to, I suppose, the flooding washing food into the river Had a great time regardless.

Chat GTP has great taste lol
Finally got around to unbolting the front PRPs and making some adjustments with washers and the brackets to shift them both towards the center console. Also replaced a marker light that's been blown for a couple months.
Took Hank to the vet the other day in it. He had a run in with a feral cat. Got meds and all is good.
Today I drove it to work again!
Only 64 bucks to fill it up on the way home. LOL

It occured to me a few days ago that the gps from the boat would probably work in the crawler. Messed with getting it mounted with some parts from amazon

The club is planning a trip to coalmont at the end of may, might mount a transducer to the axle for some of those water crossings
Drove BB a little over 400 miles on a shakedown run today. Ran great and since I installed the "high flow exhaust" mileage has improved.......... well until I removed the 1/2 door uppers for the last 175 miles......... drove to Savannah Ga. For my youngest sons wedding tomorrow.
So I drove over to Tybee Island, while I prefer the Gulf of America, the Atlantic will have to do this time.
