Any idea what these holes are for?

I’m going to try to preserve this dealer sticker when I paint the tub red, I think it’s cool and it will kinda preserve the “history “ of the donor tub.

While this fuel pump has cost me some $$$ (probably could have bought Savvy rear controls arms) tow bill, fuel pump, ATV jack and missing a day of work.

This has been so therapeutic for me. With Mom going down pretty fast now, and trying to come to grips with that.

I would work a little or till I started getting aggravated, then stop and come to Mom and Dad's house, sit with them for a while and go back to work on BB again.

I really needed this to help put things in perspective.

2 of my close friends have both lost a parent in the last 6 months. I feel I will be the next of our group to go through this.

Life is short, you are born and you die, it's what you do in between those 2 days that matters most!!!!!!!

Lost my moms last sister yesterday , now their all together ! My cousin Cecilia was with her mom took a picture of her smiling sent it to Janet's phone , she showed it to me when I got home from work yesterday and told me about her passing. Heven got another angel yesterday , lost Sara last year , now all four sisters are with their brother Bill. Never gets easy , just hang in there , I guess it's all a part of life . She and Bob had two great kids Micheal and Cecilia , really great cousins ! I lost the last great patriarch of my family . Bye Imogene !

No CEL, and running so smooth now!!!! Going to give it a test run tomorrow after work, then drive BB to work Thursday!!!!!
 
Replaced the front bump stops and cups. Turns out I really didn't need to - unlike the backs that were rotten and one was badly impacted, the fronts were fine. So I kept the old fronts as they seem to be better quality than what I installed, but I did recycle the rusty cups.

Had to work the cup retaining bolts up and down a couple of times and slather them with never seeze to get them out. The driver's side tried to gall, but the never seeze stopped that.

I think you put your spring in while standing on your head.

Looks like a warranty issue for andy...
 
Glad to hear you got it fixed. (y) Does @AndyG cover parts and labor? :unsure:
p.s. When I bought my Rubi, the guy had a bill of sale and got his wife and mine to sign it as witnesses. Damn anal military "by the book" guy.

Well that's not a bad thing .... he may have taken good care of the jeep "by the book" !

I'm waking up to a better day I hope after bad news and picking up wives car with new 4,000 dollar transmission ! Ouch !
Looked at my Jeep just setting there broke ! Weather is starting to get warm and I will have a weekend off soon with nothing else to have to do and I will get my buddy Phil over and we will knock out all that pile of parts.
