Progress has been slow these past few weeks. I spend one week working a murder trial, the next week was spent working a major hazmat spill on one of our major highways. I am just now getting caught up...hopefully I will have some free time this weekend.
I did catch a good deal on a set of top...
So I have been super busy this week. My brake job is on hold until next week. I am stuck working a jury trial all this week.
I have been using what little time I have to knock out a quick wheel repaint. Here is an example of my wheels at the start and the end results. So far I have finished...
update for today.
I installed my new (used) bumper. The bumper came primer brown on one side and OD on the other. I painted and knocked out the install thursday afternoon.
I ran into a few issues during the install. The PO had installed a winch plate (and I am assuming a winch) which over...
Update for the day:
I installed my top bow brackets. I ran over them w/a wire wheel and painted before installation due to some rust.
I also finally finished up the rear axle (brakes and new pinion seal).
I also knocked out the front pass side brakes. All I have left is the front drivers side...
Well I finally had some time to work on the jeep. I had only an hour or so between getting home from work and the approaching rain. I was able to get the passenger rear wheel cylinder, brake shoes, and brake retainers installed. I had to to re-use the old hardware w/the new shoes because the new...
I am still here. Jeep is still here. Things at work have been CRAZY since I returned from my trip. The first day back at 1030am (I start at 10am) a lady walks in my office to report a sexual assault of child (with multiple suspects and multpile victims...wow). I will do my best to get back on...
I took a road trip over to the Armed Forces History Museum today while visiting family.
I was in Military Vehicle heaven!!! They have some impressive exhibits and very well restored military vehicles (and some very cool projects being worked on).
If anyone has the opportunity to visit this...
Jeep progress is going to be slow for the next three weeks. I leave on 5-19 on my vacation.
I am going to be tackling the dalton highway and the denali highway up in Alaska. I will be spending this last week pretty much preparing/packing/planning. I will update after my vacation. I come back to...
I need the pick the brains of the dana44 gods.
So today I decided I would replace the rear pinion seal.
I have been reading the TMs and researching step-by-step instructions via the internet/my forums for the past week or so.
so far I have removed the following but I am not sure if I have...
car show pictures as promised!!!
Unfortunately there were not as many 4x4s there as I had hoped. I saw one CJ7 and one FJ40. There were A LOT of cool classic muscle at the show. I LOVED seeing the fully restored camaros, mustangs, etc. The show also had a lot of low rider stuff. I can...
never fear! pics are downloading now.
I put some miles on my KLR today. I left out about 9am and just now made it home.
Here is the route I ran. (http://mapq.st/1DLqHbV). I covered about 280-290 miles.
I left out at 9am and ran over to Altus to catch the car show. This stretch was all black...
