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.

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.

Kicked it because apparently even though there's about 3billion of them out the no parts store carries the tranny fluid cooler connectors to go into the radiator it's and I quote from oreillies napa advanced and auto zone "specialty part"

I kno the feeling I had a Dakota and a metal piece that was on the non pressure powersteering hose broke and no one carried it I went to the Dodge Dealer and they told me no one makes the part anymore so its on back order indefinitely and it was only a 98.

Mines an 01 and it's the 4.7 so no to mention this part is killing me but the engine bay is so cramped to work with and the fan is hydrolic so I pulled that to gain room I think I'm converting it to electic screw this hydo crap
