What did you do to your TJ today?

Found a broken sway bar link-- so that's the rattle I've been hearing now that the tops off

Good time to upgrade if you haven't already...

No ruler but i threw a tape on it… 10” x 2 1/2”. Or do u need ruler by it for reproduction purposes?

That should do. Thanks!
We can duplicate that label for you, we'll need the correct size. We don't have this diagram on file so it will need to be custom designed to match.

I finished up the rust mitigation between the skid plate and frame. I got everything stripped down to bare metal, cleaned up with alcohol, sprayed with primer, and sprayed with 2 coats of paint. I'm waiting for the paint to cure for 48 hours and then I'll get the skid plate bolted up.

Arent them ARP studs pretty!
Decided to do these since firestone tightened my lug nuts too much and caused my tire to go flying,they said they're gonna pay for my parts,such as my new centric rotors that i just put on....and my pads
if not....my jeep may get tons and 40s if I win a lawsuit ,but I ain't gonna do all that! I'm happy that I'm safe and that my tire came flying out right before I got on to i635 Thank god !!! I'd be plenty happy to just get paid for the parts used like firestone said

A little bit of clearancing was made on the hub itself,I overdid the 1st one but once you drill out the lug holes a few thousandths you don't have to clearance so much on the lip of the hub that meets the knuckle......
These are ARP m14x1.5 studs and they clear just fine on my wheels even though the "shoulder"? Pertrudes a bit from the hub face!

Edit-Forgot to add a pic of where I clearanced the hub!

Why did you need to clearance the hub? Not stock unit bearings?

Also - is that a hood I seen in place!?

I needed to clearance the hub a tad to take out the old studs cause i wouldve spent too much time hammering the old studs out except for the 3 that snapped The slightly larger ARP studs they dropped right in with said clearancing and pressed them in just fine !
These are E-coated units from napa so no rust,What can I say 15k miles later and they've been holding up great ! A good amount of wheeling on them and lots of speed on the highway on them as well

And yep she finally has a hood now
You and Chili_Pepper are the ones that noticed...especially chili pepper

Made a new friend, @georgiajason with a new to him Rubi. Jason, don’t let the guys scare you away!

 

[mjonesjr84]

Upgraded a pair of lights on my bumper. This was so I can test them before my Crawltek bumpers get here this week. I will probably only have room for 1 set of lights, so I went with the Auxbeam spot/flood combo lights. I'll see how the light is at night tonight.

Wasn't impressed with the output of the Rough Country lights.

Valve cover gasket. There’s an 11/16” engine ground nut in the rear that’ll make your life easier removed also that plastic harness holder can kiss my ass.

 

[ShinyTravisto]

Found the source of the the creak in the rear end

Monday morning on my way to work:

 

[Duner]

Solved my steering wobble while turning, that U-joint was TOAST. Replaced ball joints and the wheel bearing as well. Still have the passenger side to do.

Also went to the taste of country concert, made the news! (Me in the hat with my dad next to me)

 

[Ctdriver86]

Gorgeous black magic tail lights got put on. Had to ditch my old bumper to make room for the plate relocation. Not a big deal, been looking for replacements for the POS one I bought when I got my Jeep and had more excitement than sense. Next up is to ditch the matching front pile of shit for something that actually does its job.

What license plate light are you running?

 

[MikeE024]

Flushed more bad stuff out of the coolant system, installed an inline coolant screen, and did another round of Thermocure.

The screen should work well...and it helps with the multiple water flushes and the final fill by opening the cap to reduce the air gap. Reducing the air gap means that I don't need to pull the thermostat during flushes since the coolant temp gets up to 195* in about 3 minutes.

 

[MikeE024]

Took me about 45 seconds to install a 3/8 NPT hex-tip plug into the engine block.

A length of 8-1/4" tip-to-base does the job well.

@reddvltj @AndyG and @Hog Both love to spend hours at a time washing and waxing their Jeeps.

Me I'm more of a @Jerry Bransford type person. I washing it whenever I might need to go somewhere besides work.

Odd but mine usually gets washed the day before a trail ride . Almost never after.

 

[Weasellee]

Wait. 94 MPH??

 

[Szydd]

Death wobble started at around 60 MPH, blown u joint on passenger side. Figured I would do the ball joints and replace the hub as well. Disassembled and cleaned the rust up with a wire wheel and a little POR for the knuckle and axle housing.
Bent the outer axle ears, smoked two u-joint caps before I realized. Finally got it all back together last night, tire is locked up... Wrong hub was sent to me...
New hub coming Tuesday.
