I did what Andy did cause one was free wheeling(skid plate bolt). But before that I went to Wal Mart and bought a clear plastic tote with wheels. Think its supposed to go under your bed. For 10 bucks (on sale a great deal) I drained my trans oil into it no worry about missing the tote nice and...

Thanks ac_ Found one like that at a little parts place. Then went and bought three seals cause you know usually I screw up at least one:). At first it wouldn't work. There was no room to tap the extractor tool in place. The taper on the tool was way off, to short. So after agonizing for hours...

Howdy all. So I'm getting the fix it list narrowed down pretty good on Gertie (daughters jeep) so today after tackling a bunch of smaller jobs ( 2 inch lift, rear transfer case seal,steering box replacement, track bar bushings etc etc) it's time to tackle the leaking auto trans shifter seal. I...

Manly silence :). About the only time in the day its quite

Just finished putting a rebuilt steering box in Gertie ( no way was I gonna do a seal replacement on a box with 351xxx kms) so also threw on a filter on the return side.As per the rebuild manufactures recommendations. So being a 2002 with the Saginaw box I went with power steering fluid but the...

ha ha. You get used to it. Kinda. I work outside all year so it has to be done. But when I have a choice well I take it. :) At least it happened close to home not km's (miles) away from civilization. Big guy must have been watching out for me this am :)

Congrats Kathy.

Some of you may know my daughter lives 12 hrs away to the west of me. And this weekend is when all the planets and time frames had aligned for Jeep Repair Weekend. It was not to be. The transfer case in my 01 3/4 ton suburban decided at 430 am (approx 2.5 km from my place) to destroy itself. :(...

Good night all. 12 hr drive tomorrow to get to work on Gerti. My/daughters 02 TJ Sport. 3 days of Jeep fixing coming up.:)

Oh Ya.

Thanks folks for the positve vibes. :)
