As much as I don't want to say it. But it was an accident. And it was flipping crazy. I'm so happy I got to see it happen. Also 3 feet is not an exageration either. Those tires were a good 3' in the air at least.

Love wheeling with Tim. Always a blast. Look forward to the April trip and going back to Centralia. Hopefully not have a repeat of losing the lemonade...speaking if which you better bring some or you're getting dropped on the gravel again.

Jeep got a free car wash today = P no more salt. Thanks mother nature

Took the tire carrier off to day. Never did like the look of it.

lol... gotta love our little "helpers"




Well, I pieced together the exhaust pieces that I had laying around to rig up a temporary exhaust "system" until I can afford a more permanent solution. Didn't take any pics... nothing exiting about a sanford and son looking straightpipe setup. I did do a little welding practice afterwards though on some more spare pieces I had laying around.

My welds look like poo - don't judge me.




Practice practice practice.... oh and some better wire... and a better welder...

Lastnight i changed the axle seals on the 8.8. Built the axle 2 years ago i was shocked to see they were already leaking. Also changed the brake pads due to being covered in gear oil.

Damn straight! But I don't think I'll be able to get any in time. It isn't in production right now.

I'm trying to muster the energy to go downstairs and start my axle swap. 60° today, but a steady 40% chance of rain

Default Put Air in.

Head a New Tyre pressure sensor fitted as the TPSM light was staying on. When I drove it home All was good but the next day the light came back on. After putting some air in the tyre the light went out. Happy Dazs, But the Next day same thing. Took it back to the garage that fitted it & they said the head difficulty,s fitting the sensor & I said to them your fitter may not have fitted it correctly the owner through a fit & told me to take the car away. He said they were Nothing But. TROUBLE. I hope he's Not right.

Going to reset my ECU tonight...I swapped in some 784 injectors on Sunday and it's been drinking gas ever since, enough that my tail pipe is black (wasn't before the swap). Hoping that fixes the issue.

Put soapy water around the stem and see if its leaking. More than likely the installer did not torque it to specs.

Got the battery cable materials today. Couldn't wait to try out the HF crimper that have been sitting in the shop for a while now. Just waiting on the shrink tube then I can get to work.
