Sat in my friends driveway and tried to figure out why I lost all battery power for no apparent reason. After nearly 45 minutes of checking all connections, fuses, grounds and wiggling every wire one can find. I think it turned out being a bad positive battery terminal...We'll see tomorrow.
Very cool! Haven't been to that one yet. Looking forward to checking out your thread on that trail!
I actually just wheeled part of Blacktail Wild Bill yesterday!
Today I crawled under my Jeep and successfully pried off the brackets on the rear parking brake lines that were attached to the stock upper rear control arms. Now I only have the main brake line tied up and out of the way with zip ties instead of 3. No way i'm going to get that bracket off.

Camping/fishing with the fam!! 2 adults 2 kids 100lb Lab and gear for the weekend!! Only an hour drive, not too bad. Wife’s TJ before I hear crap about the flower seats!! LoL
you need more room. leave the wife and kids. just take the dog :coti:
Maan I have seat covers like that.. hawaiian pattern but all over in red. I catch so much crap over those lol. I'm like geez man hawaiian shirts are cool, what's wrong with having them in a Jeep.. doesn't matter, friends are cruel. I need seat covers to keep sweat and jet fuel off of them.

did the rear wheel bearings yesterday, not a bad job when you have the right tools. The bearing puller and slide hammer are a must for this job. The biggest challenge was getting the pin out of the rear diff in order to pull the axles and cleaning off the old gasket material to re-seal the rear end.
**Off topic**
Did you not need a press to get them back in?
I recently had the rear bearings replaced on my BMW because I was sure I could get the puller fairly cheap rental wise just no the press to get them back in. All I’m all it was about a $360 job

it wont press all barrings but it does the rear axle nicely

nope, no press required. Just a bearing driver or an improvised one like I did using the old bearing and a big socket. The seal was more difficult than the bearing.

Started the process of fixing numerous drive train leaks -identified so far: rear diff cover, transmission output shaft seal, trans input shaft seal/torque converter leak. Got the drive shafts off and dropped the skid, then my mother called- she takes priority over the Jeep so I called it an early night!
That looks awesome... I really want to install one of those, but I am too chicken to try it.
A friend got me a new Bluetooth receiver for my birthday. I would prefer something a little more subdued, but the Bluetooth connection to my phone is nice.
