I put the windshield back in myself, It took about an Hour- I got lucky and the sun had been shining on most of it for an hour. It will probably pour water inside if it rains, so until I get a welder from my brothr's house, I'll have to cover it. I used a crab pick from Joe's Crabshack to seat...

The SafeLite guy is here replacing cracked windshield. There was a small leak on and off over the years and I neglected it. So now it looks like I'll pay. He found rust at the top of the windshield- passenger side. It's flaky and a little spongy. He won't warranty it if he leaves the new...

I like the look of a well crafted snorkel. I think I'd put one on if it was really cool in appearance (not dismissing anyone's efforts here) just because they look bad@ss. I'm really not too confident that I'd want to run through deep water just because I have one- guess I'm afraid of all the...

I replaced the rubber vacuum lines about 3 years ago. New modulator as well. I cleaned the glass ball in the valve on the IP yesterdays and had another look at the modulator. No drip when the rubber hose was removed, so I assume it is good. What I did find was a loose fitting rubber hose- it was...

Yesterday before my P/S pump bracket broke on me I noticed the shift points were not where they usually are. First gear wound out a long time, and then shifted hard. Second to third was the same way- I wondered if it would ever go into third. At first I thought it was the modulator- but I put a...

Clackamas, OR. I installed the welded bracket this morning. All went well. Thanks for your input. Here's a couple of notes on removing the power steering pump to replace the bracket: Remove all battery cables- you'll have to pull the alternator and you don't want any surprises. The belt is...

I had to leave my Blazer at my little brother's house yesterday. I looked up the part and found a nice list of 50+ applications. I was going to look in the local boneyard this morning, but jus got a call from my brother saying he welded it up already. I hope he did a good job... his model cars...

Found my p/S bracket had bust 2 out of three mounting ears today- I know it has to be neglect :-?. The pulley had to be pulled, HF for a $20 kit. Worked good. Where can I get an OEM or better bracket?

Treadwright Tires update. I just got back from the tirestore. Had to put two new goodrich tires on. The Guard Dogs were checking deep along the weld where it meets the old casing. Driver's rear had taken to leaking fast. Drove into Advance 90 minutes later and $355 poorer I had the tires...

Look around on this forum, seems there was a guy with a trick WARN that went in between and behind the front bumper mounts. He explained it pretty well IIRC. I've got that project on the short list. Just before #7: Add bottom thrusters from a Harrier Jet for easier parking, and those pesky gated...

I love it, but I'll bet you come out from Arby's and find some landscaper trying to fire it up.

Yup, I'm with Skinny. Do it now, your cold feet will thank you. I have a bit of a write up on my post about the HC R&R. It reads and sounds more difficult than it is. If you have an OEM core and it looks half-way decent. See if you can find a shop to refurb it. I don't know for the life of me...

howardc, thanks for the post and link. Bookmark or print and fold into the manual:beer:. I just wanted to add a little tip I learned a few years ago when I was replacing an engine and the hood had to come off. Get 1/2 dozen cheap 1/8" bits at the hardware store. Drill TWO holes a few inches...

Mine has been on since just after this original post date. I have hauled a ninety pound mobiflex crew tent, and 4 Scepter Jerrys of diesel. I left the bolt long on the inside, then cut and hemmed a piece of Heavy Drab Duck to hang between the rearmost 4 bolts. I use it as a catch-all for light...

Is your transfer case shifter adjusted right. The nut can work itself loose and then it'll slip and grind. The TM shows the linkage. It is easy to check.

That will allow you to bring all kinds of gear! :jumpin:

I ordered a Wilson 28MT 24V from Schucks after having bad luck with the $100 *bay Chinese model. Real heavy-duty. Comes with a shim that you should use- don't ask... Real reliable cranking. See my posts w/ Wilson in the search for the part number.

Was hunting on Saturday. Left camp to get some diesel for my SHS Tent Heater. The lake resort nearby didn't sell it. Drove 20 miles downhill to town. Around mile 18 I began to hear the passenger rear brake grinding. I figured the shoes. I had tools but not enough to do brakes in the field...

My oil cooler lines have been weeping since last Winter. They are shot near the couplers that join the radiator lines. I bought the rubber lines from NAPA. I READ THE TM. The fix looks hard and messy and is only a little of each. Get an oil pan, rags, creeper, box wrenches: 15/16", 3/4", 7/8"...

Ace hardware by my house had them. Xenocath, like me, bough a bunch from the factory.. Check ACE first. There are various mounting options: Rivet type- need special tool, screw-in- self-threading, and screw-in- machine type. I bought mine from Scolille. Here is a picture of what I have. How many...
