Got a little bit done to the XJ over the weekend. No pictures because there isn’t a whole lot to see. I installed the decent Pioneer speakers I bought from Best Buy last week. I hate ever admitting to buying something from that place, but they had them on sale …
Got to play around in the shop a little yesterday. First, I can’t wait to have the Jeep done. I love working on my Jeep, but this has interrupted my steevo bench build so I’m excited to move past the 5-speed conversion and start working ON the shop again. Anyway, …
I thought for sure this was going to take hours so I put it off a couple of days. I was wrong. Oh so wrong. I sprayed the headliner with Goo Gone, let it sit for about 2-3 minutes, and then lightly scrubbed it with my brush. Pretty sure the …
To say that my headliner needed replaced would be a massive understatement. I should have done this a year ago. Or 2. The headliner was getting so low that 2 year olds could grab it from their car seats. Yeah … it was bad. Here’s the photographic proof: I started …
I finally got around to replacing the O2 sensors because I used the XJ to take a load to the landfill and had the nasty heat soak issues again. So, after a little research and since I already owned the new O2 sensors, we finally got them replaced. Luckily they …
It’s been a little while for an update because I’ve been trying to track down the vibrations in the Jeep. However, my dad and I were driving around going to garage sales looking for some tools and the Jeep kept getting heat soak issues so bad it barely ran at …
In the middle of figuring out this vibration issue with the XJ. I got axles put in it with new u-joint and I’m still getting vibes. But I’ll update on that when I have it figured out. In the meantime, I decided I needed/wanted a riding lawnmower so I went …
After replacing the axles in the front diff I have still been hit with the annoying vibrations. After a lot of research I’m hoping that it’s the carrier bearings. We pulled the gears and swapped them with the “new” diff I had because the original I installed were kind of …
Got the tires mounted and balanced and got the XJ aligned. Really nice having a straight steering wheel again! I’m loving the look now. I’m still having vibrations when driving, though. They start probably around 30 mph and get stronger as you go faster. I pulled the front drive shaft …
Last night I got new tail lights from my brother for my birthday. I’m loving the look of these: I also got the new track bar installed. That was a little bit of a job but not too bad. Had to use a big bar and some ratchet straps to …
