Used it to drag my trailer over to a junkyard to pick up a motor for my Celica. Finally going to swap the motor so I can get it running so the Jeep can go under the knife to get some much needed work.

Also found some pics from my last trail ride.




These pics were taken with a Samsung camera phone.

Installed my new sway bar links. Found that both rear shock mounts broke. I welded the rear sway bar bracket up there and it broke lol. Going to do a rear brake like extension and tc drop today.

How much? I can probably get you one with less miles, for cheaper. Only catch is that its all the way over here in VA.

Today I put my coil spring spacers in. 4 hours worth of sweat and swearing. Thankfully, no bolts broke, No blood on the garage floor, and I didnt have to drop my track bar or use spring compressors. I hope to do the back tomorrow, because it looks very odd with the front up and rear down.

I consider this a good find. It's out of a 97 ZJ, same year as mine, so it should be an easy swap. $250 isn't too bad, not sure how many miles. I have family in Winchester, va. They are headed my way in a few weeks. What can u get?

Fixed my rear hatch. It wouldnt open. Had to tighten the plastic clip down some more. Now she opens every time. Which is nice. Wish I would of done it before this weekend. It made it hard moving my parents to Tulsa without the hatch opening.

I installed a new power steering pump the other day, but didn't have the pulley on all the way. I finished putting the pulley on correctly which is a PITA. I don't understand why the pump doesn't already have the pulley already installed.

The gasket on the thermostat housing was leaking a little bit, so I replaced that also. I put a new thermostat in even though it was not bad since it was out.

I also sprayed some PB Blaster on the LCA bolts and the leaf spring bolts since I will most likely be replacing those this weekend.
