Well I put hood pins in my jeep because the standard equipment sucks. I will put pics up later.

Found a bulb in an old Dodge truck radio I had in my garage and now I can see my heater/ac controls at night.

Noooo cruiser! U are supposed to rescue them, not kill them!

RSWiser

Mounted my new Rusty's Skid Plate to protect my Oil Pan and Transmission. 3/16" Steel should help prevent bashing my Transmission pan for a while.

99 Jeep Cherokee Sport.

Just got done rebuilding my front passenger side driveline.

New axle shaft u-joint
Ball joints
Tie rod end
Wheel bearing

All of it was shot, both upper and lower ball joints were flopping around, u-joint was also flopping around, and the wheel bearing sounded like there was sand inside. She drives so much better now!!

I might try to do the other side tomorrow but the hub was so rusted that it took me 2 hours to get it out today. Steering knuckle was rust welded to the ball joints.
If I dont factor rust into the equation, it should only take me 2-3 hours. With rust, that number goes up to 5+ hours.


I also broke another pitman arm puller trying to get my pitman arm off so I can change the steering box -- I think my only option is to just buy another one because the guys at Napa are going to be pissed that I broke the 3rd pitman arm puller I rented from them.
What a pain in the ****. I hate rust.

Well well, today I tackled doing my whole exhaust system, header to tailpipe, not without problems, repairs, and alot of stress.

I purchased a speed daddy header. figure its good enough to put on after seeing alot of jeep people use them without to much complaint that I have see anyways.
So i get everything tore down old manifold off the block and I set up my new speed daddy header to the block first thing i notice is the flange is touching the side of my block like REALLY bad so i pulled it off and looked at it more. To my surprise I also found that there was a whole spot where three pipes come together that had a large unwelded area so obviously I was pretty ticked off.
Long story short on that I welded the cracks on my original manifold and put it back on and messaged speed daddys ebay store with my outrageous quality complaint.

As for the rest of my exhaust it went very well. I used walker downpipe 55277, two 18in lengths of 2.5in pipe, a flowmaster super 10 series muffler, and a dynomax 44171 tailpipe.
It turned out pretty great especially since Ive been running a thrush welded clamped to the end of my old down pipe with no tailpipe for about 7months lol

Also during all of this I just so happened to get my poly brown dog motor mounts today and installed those and wow what a world of a difference in drive feel. I love it.

So overall after all work was done it ended on a good note. a good loud note lol

Took liberties with the forum sticker. Those in the know will know what it is

Try smacking the pitman arm around all the sides with a hammer before hand. And let it soak in pb blaster for a bit. It helps loosen things up

I like to tighten the puller, spray some PB, then leave it alone, usually pops off overnight
