What did you do to your TJ today?

[macleanflood]

Edited Jeep videos and then started prepping for fire defense...1/4 mile northwest of us a 25 acre brush fire broke out. They had nine engines, a dozer and helicopters on it quick. But I was prepping to defend (sprinklers running and chainsaw/pulaski/tractor) and evacuate. 5 now 6 fires in 7 years...this one was the second closest.

Been out of town and working OT when I'm not... finally got a little time yesterday and the rest of today to try to get some more work done on this mid arm.

For anybody that has installed this front truss before, are you intended to weld to the ends of the axle housing at all (aside from the top ears) or just the tubes and spring perch? Pretty sure the pumpkin is cast iron and I'd need to heat that up to something like 400° and wrap it afterward is my understanding. I'm an amateur welder and just have a Hobart 190 and little mapp gas bottle to get this done.

Don't look into the fitment and cleanliness too much here, still need to grind a little factory weld out of the way and clean the whole axle up first. Just a test fit

I replaced the battery with an Interstate from Costco. I really need to clean up some of my wiring. I think I will start with some new upgraded cables from JEEPCABLES.COM A little pricey but isn’t everything nowadays? Has anyone here used them?
Thanks,

I did the Big 7 kit from JeepCables a few months ago in anticipation of a higher output alternator.

My big win for today...

I have been chasing a single, persistent squeak in the front end for over a year. I was always pretty confident it was coming from the discos, and it was, but I had been lubing with CRC HD Silicone Lube and it did nothing. Tried the PB Blaster Silicone Lube and the squeak is now gone. Bought a little 3 oz can so I can hit the discos every few fill-ups.

That is all...

I got a persistent squeak in mine, or so my wife tells me. I can’t hear it so I have no idea where it’s coming from.

Don't really care if this was a good deal or not. I just traded my missed matched china steel rims and rusted out back seat....for a Q-tech 90 foot 3/8" dyneema whinch line...new in the wrapper. Looks like it's on closeout for $215 at QTech right now. Wanted one for my Warn down the road when I get to it.

Put the summer doors on

Then I deleted the spare tire carrier and put in a 3rd tail light replacement

 

[Mercy'04Wranler]

Picked up a new amp & wiring kit for my new headunit and sub. Grabbed some new things for the hood latches. Priced some mirrors for taking the doors off...

Fire was out...out and not contained...by about 1 am.

Jeep watched jealously with it's stock control arms as my shop got a set of double adjustable arms...

After switching to the low profile Barnes rear bumper, I lost my rear tow hooks.

Replaced it...

Anyone need/want a stock TJ rear tow hook?

 

[kincaid.0678]

Installed the Savvy Belly up crossmember. Removed some surface rust from the frame and repainted it. Hopefully tonight I'll have time to replace the front pinion seal. Installed rebuilt transfer case with a 6 pinion planetary wide chain kit and sye. It also has the tereflex 2wheel drive low kit. busy weekend.

I just got a new pinion seal for my front axle too. Just need to get around to getting it replaced.

 

[kincaid.0678]

I need to get around to fixing this as well. After the body lift it’s a little short but still functional lol I took the clamps off and sprayed some WD-40 on the plastic part the hose clamps onto. I stuck I pocket screwdriver in to try to break the seal but maybe over the weekend I’ll get some time to get it stretched out. 26 years of clamping force won’t let go that easily lol
