I drained the transmission earlier and had a nice frosty chocolate milkshake...ugh! Good thing I got all that crap out of there. Filled the front and rear diffs. Pulled the top of the transmission so I can add fluid and also inspect the innards (Yes I realize there is a fill plug on the...

So far today I drained the rear diff and x-fer case. I have the motor oil draining now. I already replaced the motor oil from the original oil that came w/the Jeep. This oil I added seafoam to thin out the oil in an attempt to deal w/a sticky valve. This is that oil. After all the oil drains I...

thanks for the tip. I enjoy driving my jeep but I REALLY enjoy stopping my Jeep hahaha. Just to clarify...just order 4 front 1in wheel cylinders, right? I will check out the DOT5 (I am still quite a ways from adding fluid but I will keep it in the back of my mind. I won't EVER turn down free...

I noticed the sun setting and realized I only had so much daylight remaining. I ran outside and drained the front diff. The fluid was pretty gross but I did not see any water contamination which was good news. Also all of my gear teeth look to be in super good shape. I had a little trouble...

thanks for the deuce/jeep tip. That will definitely come in handy!!! I was on the fence about replacing the steel lines. I have the kit saved on my ebay watch list I just have not pulled the trigger...yet. The kit is fairly cheap at $70-ish bucks. For that price I guess I might as well. You...

Just pulled the last drum. the impact screwdriver performed flawlessly and made short work of the rusted drum screws (previously attempts at this project had failed due me trying to use a normal screw driver on these screws. Even after soaking in PB blaster) the rear two drums came off...

still going strong on the Jeep. I have flushed my cooling system on and off for about two weeks. The fluid is FINALLY coming out clear-ish vs the green/brown gunk I was seeing at first. today I put the Jeep up on jack stands and started tearing in to the brake system. I am having a bear of a...

I didn't hone the cylinders whatsoever. I just soaked them before turning over the motor. Memphis, TX is in the south-east tx panhandle. If you draw a line (lets call it US287) from wichita falls to Amarillo, we are right in the middle. In the middle of nowhere.

I think I got it all figured out. Crisis averted. I am waiting on parts. They shipped out today (like a week after I placed my order) both rad hoses, bypass house are in the mail. Once they arrive I will finally be able to finish out my water pump swap.

finally got around to installing the water pump. It was a BEAUTIFUL day. The old pump was gross as was the cooling system. Once I get everything back together I am going to have to flush the cooling system several times (based on the way everything looks). I installed the new pump and the...

ordered water pump and a new seat cushion. Still too cold to really enjoy being outside w/the jeep.

Ordered a new water pump and driver cushion today. The temp got up to 36* degrees today... a little too chilly to work on the jeep. I haven't forgotten about the old girl though.

thanks for the tips. I will never turn down free advice. 1. I think I have decided on a rough game plan. 3. I purchased surplus plugs online several months ago. I will check the "local" (40miles away) orilleys before buying again...I LOVE to save money. 4. I am keeping an ear to the ground...

Unfortunately no updates on my progress. I have three issues that I am working against here. 1. Sunset here is 540pm which totally sucks!!!. I get off at 6p. It sucks working at night in the freezing weather. 2. Usually during the winter months, it is below freezing by the time I get home...

I have to put progress on hold for a couple of days. I am attending a wedding this weekend so I will be out of pocket from weds-sunday. I have also been working 10hr shifts (sat-tuesday) so I can still get in my 40hrs at the office....so that leaves almost no time to work on the Jeep. I did...

Thanks!!! I was pretty apprehensive at first but I really like how they turned out. After work today, I removed both fenders, grill, and radiator. the "coolant" in the radiator was greenish- brown...ugh. I am hoping this was caused by extended sitting in the field vs contamination from...

t-rex

Well I have been spending the last few days working on my data plates. I read A LOT of articles online. Some guys use electrolysis, some guys painted/sanded, etc. This is how I did it: 1. clean everything with sponge/wd40 2. remove plates from master plate (after realizing I should have...

Today I drove the jeep a little. Once again I just piddled around in the field next to my house...it was still SUPER FUN!!! Unfortunately the rain decided to roll in and killed my fun. Tomorrow I am considering pulling the grill, fenders, and body tub. I would like to start working on the...

Well today I decided that I wanted to drive my Jeep before several events occured. 1. before Winter/Snow decides to roll in 2. before I get too far along in the project where I can't drive it for several months (ie tub removal, etc). I still have not had a chance to work on the brakes. So...
