Someone went through my Jeep a few months ago. My driver door hasn't been able to lock since I bought it a year ago and I can't figure out why. I went out one morning and the center console was open and so was the glove box. They just got a pocket knife, I don't keep anything in there.

relocated the power steering pump up about 3/4" to clear the steering box, the pulley was sitting almost right on top of the high pressure port

Rebuilt my rear driveshaft (zj) and front stock driveshaft and still have a vibration so I pulled the rear to see if I still have one on my way to work tomorrow. Too late for another test drive.

e-brake stopped keeping my cherokee stationary on an incline, and when I did the lift I saw that the drums needed some love ASAP.

Changed out the drums, pads, and springs with nothing but a jack, jack stand, 3/4" socket, ratchet and breaker bar, and a pair of linemans pliers in 2 hours.

re-calibrated e-brake and good as new.

Carefully sprayed them and in the hot sun they dried almost to touch in a few minutes. Got lots of praise from the family for finally taking on this task. I should have done it in Feb when the temperature was in the 60’s. Looks great and she’s ready for her new owner. Going up for sale tomorrow in Craigslist. Had lots of fun with her, but now its time to move on. 167K miles new everything, radiator, water pump, fresh tune up , oil change, Ice cold A/C, newer tires, no rust 20% tinted windows, $3500 OBO.












Ft. Lauderdale, eh? Ya don't say. Nice Jeep, BTW.






So I did a thing. I think it's a thing.... seems awfully thing-ish. Could be a thing. Maybe it's a thing.

K, here's the thing.





Updated the thread too.

Pulled the rear carpet out yesterday and made a rust storm for the whole garage with the wire wheel. Half the carpet was embedded in the cargo pan. Making progress, soon it'll be all over (so I tell myself).

Has anyone mounted the stock wheels and tires inside out??
Probably a stupid idea, just curious how it turned out. Theoretically it looks like it would give it a deep dish look for the wheels.

Wouldnt work unless you somehow made the outside of the well fit onto the axle hubs. By that point the wheel would be really thin there and extremely dangerous to use.
