Big step today!
Now chasing leaks, think I need to relash valves, and a bunch of little odds and ends

 

[benXJ]

Hit up Badin Lake campground
.

 

[strange1]

No more leaky Toyota drain plug!!! Still need brake lines, shocks, and a driveshaft; but at least I have fwd to get off the trailer.

 

[gslander]

Drove the truck to the inspection station (passed), then the rear pinion bearing started making noise on the way home . Currently working out the plan to swap diffs rear to front before leaving for hawk pride on thursday to wheel.

 

[gslander]

Yanked the diffs out before work today.

 

[Shreddinlettuce]

Water pump in the daily, new a/c belt while I was in there, should’ve replaced with the serpentine

 

[Shreddinlettuce]

Peekaboo, working on getting clearance for the shifters ended up with yet another subtraction from the floor, but I can shift the atlas in all kinds of positions now

 

[Lizooki]

Cussed it .... repeatedly

Gonna drop the transmission tomorrow to see what happened to the shift fork.

 

[skyhighZJ]

Added door handle gaskets. Not huge but it’s the little things. Gotta figure out of I’m gonna strip the handles back to chrome or figure out how to strip them and paint to black. And yes the car is disgusting from the dust/ pollen. It needs washed bad

Also got the new front seats mounted. In the words of Garth Algar “they’re like a new pair of underwear, at first they’re constricting. But then they become a part of you.”

 

[obullfish]

The wife’s new 2026 JLU Rubicon.

 

[skyhighZJ]

Swapped out the rear torque arm bushings. The old factory rubber bushings were SACKED OUT! Went with Energy Suspension poly bushings. Gained back about 1/2” of stance.

 

[skyhighZJ]

Also getting rid of the fake wood grain plastic for some birdseye maple veneer that dad had laying around in the shop. I think it will look a lot better. It will also allow me to cover up some of the holes for switches that will no longer be used going forward

 

[orange150]

Put some $70 Chinese LEDs in. Not sure I like the look of them, but I’ll live with them for a while.

 

[TJody]

Installed me some of those cheater tires today

 

[untchabl]

Replacing the knocking engine and fixing a transmission leak.

 

[gslander]

The filter setup for my steering system came in, time to fab some brackets.

I see you liked my bead buster so good you got one too haha

 

[skyhighZJ]

Working on new carpet for the ‘79 gotta pull the speaker pods and figure that part out yet. Thinking they may just get sprayed flat black.

Then gotta finish the rear bench install.

 

[skyhighZJ]

And got the birdseye maple veneer on the dash.
