Finely got around to fixing a leak in the transmission line by the radiator. ...

Don't tell the guy to go to JF, there's enough idiots there already.

I got a steering shock from Napa today because this weekend I've got some work to do on the steering, so I thought I might as well for 25 bucks. The one I have looks and feels pretty damn old.

Also might finally be selling my 93 ZJ 5 speed donor this weekend. Kinda bummed to see another one probly get scrapped, but it's for the best. It's spirit will live on in my 98 lol. Might use that money for a rear track bar and adjustable CAs

Default AutoPals

AutoPals came in today. Quick swap, I put in 100/55w bulbs. HUGE difference in lighting. My old mismatched Sylvania and GE sealed beams were very spotty, though after the harness/relay upgrade they were a bit brighter but still spotty. Now very even lighting. Good cutoff on low beam and nice and bright on both low and hibeam. $46 very well spent!

Went to change my tb heim. I called Rubicon to make sure the threads were left handed and they confirmed. I heated the tb, used a hammer and a wrench, a pipe wrench with a cheater pipe and finally ttrueit the other way . Well my re track bar is right hand thread so I wasted time going to get a lh heim and going to waste more time tomorrow only to return the heim. Rubicon techs need to know their parts or find out for sure before telling me wrong info

that would be a good assumption, yes. All in my 98 now, and i love it.

I keep seeing other 5 speed ZJs on CL and theyre frickin nice, if my donor would've been that nice I would've just left it and sold my 98

Well heck your no help

I actually know where the leak is, I just need reasonable weather to do the work, oh and the money to buy a new transmission line too. For now I will deal with the drip till I get either accustom to the colder temps, get some garage space to do the work, or it goes from a drip to a steady stream.

Got my Christmas KOR roof rack a couple days ago, but I don't have anywhere warm to paint it... Thinking of getting it powdercoated but the nearest place is 40 miles away. Anyone got ideas?
