finally after 14 days (special drop shipping was needed and was quoted 10-14 days) i got my Tomken gas tank skid from Endangered Species and as of right now am in the process of painting it red...

mcguyver_xj

Well today after work even though it was outrageously hot out decided to put the skid on...first shortcoming trailer hitch had to come off, ok ...second short coming I am tightening the last bolt which is on the gas tank strap and the strap snaps, damn thank god for spares...so I had to go to rockys after taking the skid back out amd finally got it all back togethor with lots of hydration and sweat I was soaked...



And yes I know my diff cover is leaking thanks to my crappy rtv job I am gonna redo it with a lube locker...

mcguyver_xj

well i got my doors back togethor after re-doing my harnesses and decided to take my a-pillar lights off to get my windshield replaced tomorrow hopefully then new inspection sticker...

mcguyver_xj

well got the windshield done and was so pressed for time i ok'ed a $100 "rust repair" in the window channel cause its the only way they would put a window in so i figured if it dont leak whatever and they said they'd take pics....well on my lunch break in a huge rush i go to pick it up and the pics she shows me are black and white (how the -f- can you justify a repair with black and white shots so again being rushed i was like as long as it dont leak and its good paid $100 and left even though they didn't vacuum the jeep even though they say they did etc etc....now comes the next day after raining the night before...before leaving i look out the window at my jeep and noticed theres paint missing on my roof from where they had laid some tape down (wtf) day goes on i decide for haha's to check my floor for wetness and wouldn't ya know it the window still leaks (wtf) so i am in process of getting my inspection sticker and my fellow employee turns my lights on and is like "why's your rear wiper on" and i'm like oh crap turn the lights off cause if they stay on cel will come one and ill fail he's like ok and i explain the electrical problem i thought was fixed actually isn't but it hasnt really rained since i thought i fixed it...so monday i am calling up those idiots and getting a refund cause they didn't do my window properly and screwed everything up.......sorry for long rant


also washed my jeep today even though going wheeling tomorrow to wash it again to go to a car show monday night (can never win)

Went wheelin today and performed well got some new weird noises that I got to look into...then got back to my buddies house got started on the doorless mod...kinda a pain to shut the doors and put them on but its worth it...ohh and no pics doorless cause it got dark and is supposed to rain for next four days

the things that bug me right now is that my JCR quarter guards are still not in my possession and the rear end sits too low next thing on the purchase list is shackle relocation brackets....also i have yet to put my a-pillar lights back on

diff cover was leaking so much due to rushed rtv job that decided to re-do it today with a lube locker lost 3 bolts when going to re-install and hardware store was closed so put stock cover back on...also adjusted my rear drums and omg the brakes are amazing now adjusted them a bit to much but they'll be alright...and my currently ordered goodies finally shipped out should get them thursday...

mcguyver_xj

decided to take out my fuse block on my jeep to see if the electrical problems could be stemming from there i take it apart and find this:



and a lot of corroded fuses so i got to my buddies shell of an xj take out that fuse block and took it apart found cleanliness so i poured in gobs of dielectric grease and used it for every fuse and connection put it all back together and i don't think my electrical problem is fixed ....one more thing to check off the list i guess and a preemptive strike against future issues

mcguyver_xj

well goodies came in finally can't wait to put 'em on:


yup JCR upper quarter guards....BUT...i got a dispute to settle with JCR as their website states they come with taillights and in an e-mail response i received when i was pondering buying them i asked if they were available without lights and was told they no longer sell them without lights which was fine with me but for $300 i want my lights....

last night i went to Westfield and decided to show my gf a place i used to ride my bike (referred to as the Big Y half pipe) and decided to try it out with my jeep:



couldn't get the top cause rear tire would spin as the front tire slid over had to much board wax on it...

Tonight took a 160mile round trip adventure to buy my new t-case will post pics tomorrow of it and kudos to whomever can guess what it is...
