What did you do to your TJ today?

Here is what I like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WLMF23C/?tag=wranglerorg-20

We used pintle hooks in the Navy and I saw them open unexpectedly too often. Also, you should put the safety pin back.

Thank you for the reminder. Pin's back in.
I have one of those shackle receivers that I carry to put on other peoples rigs that don't have a good tow point for when I have to pull them out, or they have to pull me out.

After clearing the codes (pcm reboot) and several hours of driving, the cps codes haven't come back and Jeep runs great. I was driving my car trying to make some money and the power steering went out. Got it home and popped the hood to find the belt came off. Pulley is partially seized and catches when you try to turn it. PITA to get to and replace the pump (Scion). Getting quotes to get it replaced this week.

Adjusted Cam / Crank Sync from 15* to something fluctuating around 0-3*
No complaints before the adjustment, just thought I’d check it. Fifteen seemed high so tuned it closer to zero.

I did the ZJ steering mod on the tie rod . Aligned the front end using two pieces of square tubing clamped to the rotors and tape measure . Set the toe in at 1/8 inch , seems to drives fine . We'll do a little more driving tomorrow . I think it was about $95 with tax on Amazon .

I had the sway bar disconnected playing in a ditch along my driveway . I've never run it detached . It seemed to have much better traction with it disconnected while crossing the ditch at an angle . I didn't get a picture of it crossing the ditch disconnected . Driving the driveway I could feel the difference in the dipping of the Jeep in the turns , feels like floating .

With one rear wheel off the ground in two wheel drive , the Eaton Trutrac easily pushed me through with a little brake pedal work .

Hit the winch drum with a coat of paint, installed the BMB fairlead, installed the Rusty's radiator skid. She's now for the first time fully armored front to back and sides

Why cannot you afford a license plate?

Did the ZJ upgrade on daughters 97, but I didn’t discover that the drag link coupler didn’t have the square opening on the clamps, so I had to take both drag links all apart and put the old coupler into the new setup. That was as much fun as it sounds.

Installed the Savvy engine skid that was missing some hardware as required. Started mounting the rock lights and adjusted rear pinion angle. Followed that with the body lift swap. Pleased with the results.

How can you afford a license plate? Are you rich?

 

[TheBoogieman]

Went to pick up my Jeep, since my car's power steering pump bit the dust. $500 was the cheapest quote to replace it. Good thing my ZJ tie rod/drag link was free.
p.s. Driving the car with no power steering reminded me of my 95' YJ.

Mine didn't come with a new one. I had to order a Moog adjustment sleeve for $10.

 

[MK212MX]

New serpentine belt and new headlight switch.

yeah, well, I may have bought the parts off somebody else. :shame: They were basically new, but that coupler wasn't the moog one.

File this under "nothing is easy." Went to title/register daughter's 97 today. Bought it in November, but have not really driven it much due to working on it etc. When I bought it, the owner was in North Dakota while one of her kids was having a baby. I was in contact with her, but a different kid of hers actually did the deal. Clean title, etc, so no problems there but apparently there were 2 names on the title but the daughter only "signed" mom's name on it. Of course I didn't catch it, but the person at the tax office did. I have to get the title signed by the other seller, and then some other piece of paper signed by everybody as well.


Lucky for me both sellers were just outside the building so I was able to get the signatures lickety-split.

Yikes! That could have been problematic for sure! Glad you were able to get it straightened out quickly and easily.

What the odds that BOTH sellers were on standby and just outside the door for such an eventuality. Just uncanny possibly even fictional

I hope you're not trying to imply malfeasance on my part. Of course the sellers were on hand, despite my having bought the Jeep 7 months ago and them living 90 minutes away. Why wouldn't they be?

It was just meant to be...

Reminded me of my youth about 18/19yo when we took a junk car to scrap.

The guy said he couldn’t take the car because the title wasn’t signed.

He suggested I go out and see if “Mrs smith” is in the car so she could sign it.
I didn’t get it and asked: “why would she be out in the car”.
The guy: “go look, you never know”
By gosh she was there!

What an amazing coincidence. Right up there with boating accidents & firearm losses. Uncanny.
