Wildman's TJ is getting a face lift

Holy shit it's happening. So exciting

You & me both.... I'll be like a kid on Christmas Eve today waiting to see what's under the XMas tree Christmas morning.


Oh sure, LJs can pretend to be TJs but not JLs. That's real fair

Can't ya just feel the LOVE??
 
Made it to Snohomish. Stopped in Cle Elum and had Les Schwab check my tires for me.

Then stopped in North Bend to visit with a buddy who works @ Mule.

He's also got a really nice Flatty that was his dads.

Retier is about 20-25 miles from my sisters house. Google says it's 45 minutes to get there. Not sure what time I'm meeting Crash at yet.

Weight distribution is better for bumper pulls

Even if I get a new truck (3/4 ton) I'd still get a weight distribution hitch. And I'll use it with the motorhome too.

Back to the Jeep, I filled it up and no leaks this time.... YAHOOOOOOO

Videos to follow after tomorrow. Hopefully....
 
I'll have one video to post in a few and then the GoPro videos I'll post once I get home.

Blew the rear ARB air line again 😒...
And then my brakes are still acting up. I'd have good pedal and then nothing. Then good pedal and then nothing...
Next on the repair list is the transmission shifter cable. It's getting too hot. After stopping for 20 minutes it wouldn't shift at first.
Last is adding a second transmission cooler. I've got a B&M cooler with a fan I'm going to mount under the Jeep.

I'm happy with how it did. And these are the reasons for these shakedown runs right?

Looks like a likely culprit. Antirock bracket should be an easy fix.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that is the problem with my brakes. Just need to route it differently. Take a little head scratching and I'll figure it out.

And take a little bit off the bracket or bend the Anti-Rock bar a bit.
