Gave it a half hour with the pressure wash thursday night, this morning, after I let my wife make breakfast, yes I'm too good to her, lololol, instead of working on replumbing the shower, a fellow has to get his priorities straight, I did some spring jeep service and flat black repainted the lower rockers, wheel wells, axles, springs, and bottom side floors of the Peep.
Then took the pooch for a 5 mile bush adventure, 52 degrees and sunny. Spooked some ducks and couple turkeys. In go anywhere jeep fashion, the pup went into a deep water crossing and swam for the 1st time, so proud (yes I'm easily amused). Upon return did a touch up with the white and then to work upon the rocker cover project. Wife brought out beer, cheese, kolbsa, and crackers, (for the dog?), lolololol, I must have married my dream girl. Some over cleaner on the rocker cover, wire brush scrubbing, a real good wash down and I like the results. A fantastic day. The jeep is pimpin and will be stylin into town in the morning.

Face measurements are 8.25 L x 3.75 W x 2.75 D with connections ??

Grrrrrrrrrr blew a transmission cooler line today. I put a new radiator in a few days ago and didn't realise I had crossed the lines, pushing the rubber hose against the thermo fan. Happened only a few hundred meters from an auto store, so lucky there. Bad thing was no tools onboard (have pulled them out when I did the radiator). So 2 frustrating hours and many wasted dollars buying tools I already have. I cut the fittings off the metal lines and replaced the hose with fuel line.
