What have you done to your rig today?

[StretchASU]

Started to sort out the wiring on the CJ5. Sweet playboy edition shift knob

 

[Bebop]

Adding weight to the heaviest trailing arms in the world. 48lbs each.

Also, peep my shitty rainbows ! #TIGweldor

 

[Croatan_Kid]

I drove the pure tee shit out of it for 6 hours. Rolled over 327,000 miles today.

 

[Dawnpatrol]

Pulled the cage for final welding

I replaced the wife's 2010 Escape terminal blower motor resistor yesterday....

She was pretty excited when she drove it today....

That blower fix got her a lot more horsepower and torque ......

I had the thang unplugged when I drove it to and back home from the parts store yesterday. All was good w the AC/heat, blower etc. in the driveway after I put the new one in. I got home today and pulled the battery cable for 10 mins. or more and its back to normal. I thank ford for making it easy peasy to replace it.

Swapped out the weathered and cracked hood latch rubber. New ones are some tight sum bitches too.

 

[Southern_Transplant]

Installed a MORryde tailgate reinforcement kit. Tired of the rattle with the 33 inch spare and looking forward to 35s soon...

 

[Clubbs]

Pulled the xj leaves out of the cj three times. Took some leaves out, took another out, then added a leaf from an old yj pack. Changes shackles too. This thing rode great with the soa yjs but now that I've stretched it with the xj's is ROUGH. Who out there has figured the right combination of xj rears on a cj for a decent ride?

With the wisdom of Chris @BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC. the harness bar is in and the seats and harnesses are finished. Harness bar was designed and custom built to bolt into the factory seat belt mounting location on the cage. We did this to retain the factory padding and cover on the cage as well as if I ever decided to get rid of the Jeep and keep the seats it is a simple process to put back to factory.

Finished up my tire carrier swap this evening. Just needs paint and a cap to capture the pivot side.

[bigassedredjeep]

[XJsavage]

Extracted two broken header bolts from my 5.3 heads. Got tired of having leaks.
One of these was a cakewalk and took 5 minutes. The other was a ruthless f*n (insert obscenities), took two hours was deadset on ruining my life. I narrowly escaped but lost my ole pal T20 in battle.

I have a spare. Jokes on you, you stupid bolt.

I done the ones on my turbo 4.8 build just like you. One of them actually had to be redrilled and tapped. @kyleg336 said he welded nuts on his and they basically fell out. If the manifolds are off I am trying that next time.

Oh yeah, it sucks. I had a total of three broken off when I bought the motor off CL about four years ago. One was sticking out off the head surface about 1/4" and I was able to use this:

The second one I tackled was on cylinder 2. It was a nice flush break and I happened to get lucky and drilled straight in with a 3/16" steel bit and used my reverse spiral extractor. The third was on cylinder 7 and was broke of about a thread and a half into the head surface. Every drill bit from a 1/64-11/64 kept running in crooked. Finally after two hours and having thrown at it every tool I own I finally said screw it and hammered a T20 in as a last ditch effort.

Met @Lankford and his wife to swap some parts. Thanks again

Changed Tcase and trans fluid.

 

[ponykilr]

Polaris is finally done.

New rear CV axles, new rear wheel/hub bearings. New RF seals and seal sleeve. You have to gingerly cut the old sleeve off without damaging electrical coil underneath it, then install with RTV and press it into perfect position so the 4wd still works

Have new tires on it. Swapped the rear 10” wheels for 12”.

So the beast is back up, hope it makes it another 20 years.

 

[jcramsey]

Me, dad and @ramjo rode down to @broncosbybart ‘s and I traded him some dollar bills for this. Just gotta get it home now. Anybody with a trailer running between Charlotte and Marion in the near future?

 

[sammi_davis]

Bought it!
