Rear diff this morning. This one went easier because i bought a gasket for it from the local auto parts store.
Also drained the Xfer case out and put new fluid in it just because i was down there.
Next will be the exhaust and the intake kits. Next paycheck ill be ordering both i think.

Since the weather is getting kind of chilly here in Minnesota lately i noticed that my heat wasn't working all that well. Being that the Thermostat was just replaced and the coolant system is all fresh i began searching on the forums for possible problems. Turns out after 14 years my Jeeps heater core could possibly be clogged. So at work today i disconnected the two heater core hoses and began using compressed air to force whatever was in there out and man was i surprised by what happened. Before i knew it I was dodging what i can only describe as a flying cow pie. Guess i found my problem. I then used a water hose to flush it for about 30 seconds and then used the compressed air again to clean the water out, Refilled the coolant that was lost and started her up. 5 minutes later I opened the door and walked into a sauna. Problem solved.

Sorry it's been so long I've been so busy lately. I am still replacing little things here and there, My door check went out on my drivers door so i had my dad order me a brand new one. I was going to go to the local junkyard but I wanted it to last. Also my window lock was busted and after reviewing the threads on here how to fix the problem I took apart my door and re-soldered the circuit board and it fixed the problem. One more thing is i replaced both my CCV's on my valve cover the old ones were all gummed up and leaking a bit so i said hey whats 20 bucks.

Was leaking some coolant recently and figured it was coming from the water pump and the lower hose so that was last weekends project.
exhaust order going in this weekend.

Looks good. Nice attention to detail.
I can't believe your Dad sold you the Jeep to make a profit... lol That cracks me up.

Can't decide on which lift to get there's so many options out there. Also i would like to have all the necessary parts to prevent any kind of problems such as wobble. I'm pretty sure I'm going to need full leaf packs being my old leafs are frowning so bad. Going to be doing A LOT of research before i make the big decision though. Also Ive been researching bumper fab, got my welder ready and have been practicing a bit. Check back in soon.
