General Tech What did you work on Today?

Front and rear coilovers done. The new springs dropped the rear 4” to a much more reasonable ride height (thanks @RockChucker for the help).

The front reservoirs were quite a challenge to mount.

Still a couple more details until I’m ready for Trail Hero.

Building the walls for an extension to a storage barn thingy at a horse training school in Park city. I've been working on this job for a few weeks. They also had me repair their skid steer plow.

I’m glad my maths mathed correctly!

much better.

We just took it out for a spin on the dirt trails near the house. I aimed for every bump! 😍

Got a new heater core swapped into Jimmy today. I can definitely tell someone has done this job already and must not have had a high level of patience. All in all the under-dash looks decent for a 35 year old truck. The plastic ducts, vacuum lines and foam seals are all in pretty good shape.

Worked on Pickles the little XJ tonight. I finally installed the core4x4 tracbar I’ve had since a few days after I got the Jeep. It’s stout and tightened up the steering nicely. I did however have to cut off about 1/2” of the threaded portion to be able to get it adjusted properly. So that was lame but meh not a big deal for me.

The old one is not factory (probably rough country) as it has a removable TRE and what looks like a little beefier clevite bushing. Buuuuut the TRE is about as limp as it gets so I’m still happy to get it off there.

Look closely and you can see extended bumpstops in the coils. They’re some Amazon cheapies so we’ll see how they hold up. Also, extended ss brake lines. Neat and stuff. On a positive note I taught my boys how to bleed brakes.

I changed an inner hub seal on the buggy, which was a seriously filthy job. Gonna try one of the new style seals with separate rotating parts.

Then I loaded that junk on the Jeep Dolly and cruised down to Kevin Boren’s house, where I’m now hiding out in his basement. 😀

I hope you don’t have any fun, at all.

I’m planning on misery and discomfort, FOR SURE.
