-

-

-
Ill be picking up the gaskets today. I bought a whole upper engine kit so there will be lots of cleaning and so on to make sure the job is done right. Ill make phone calls when I get down to working on it. Thanks guys.
-
Ill be at the hobby shop all day Tuesday if anybody is interested or has some time stop by and give me some help with the head gasket. I always welcome help even if you dont know what your doing I can direct you in the right direction. So if you have time see you there..

Well got into the jeep pretty good today but had to head home for the wife and baby. She fell while at the park and needed to head into the hospital for some monitoring for a few hours. She is ok and the baby is ok the doctors just wanted to take a look for a few hours. But I had to head home around 1630 to watch the boy. So Ill be back at it in the morning. Got down to the head today so work is going smooth. Ill be up their again in the morning and could use some help tomorrow. So if you have free time stop by and give me a hand.
-
Sorry I didn't make it man. I was the DCPO for Therrien until 1530. I'll try to make it tomorrow, but Amy has to leave at 1545, so I'll try to make it an early day, but you know how that is for me.
-
Glad to hear the wife and baby are ok! We were tied up with GMH here snaking out our mainline again....
-
Well got the head gasket in and the motor seems to be running great. Except the water blowing out of the water pump. So thats on the slate for the morning. So ill be up there again in the morning and hopefully not to far into the afternoon. Help is welcome. Thanks alot Heavy Chevy for stopping by for some company today.

Shes Back
After many repaired parts from an overheating stent the ZJ is back. Thanks alot for all your help Alex. We are really going to miss you when you leave.
-
Congrats, Rich!!! That's 2 Jeep's back in action today! So we'll see you on the trail's this weekend?
-
No I have "Daddy Boot Camp" this sat, followed by Shauns Birthday party, followed by work at mohegan. Then sunday well sunday is continue unpacking from the second move day. So no. That and I still have a broken U joint. But it runs.
-
But it runs.
That's what matters!
-
It is running really smooth too. Better then it has ever been. Im loving it. And I saved a shit ton of money. We figured with all the work that needed to be done it would tally up at around $3200. I spent about $150. So I saved alot of money.
-
Dang. Those are big numbers. I'm glad you came out on top.
-
I'm glad you came out on top.

No problem, I will be leaving in a month, just got word today. But, I am trying to work on sweat, He owns a black yj and I took him wheeling today on some land I know about and he has the bug. He works from 12 to 5 up there.
-
Right on. I may be up there sometime this week to help a guy with his breaks and sometime I need to do my U-Joints. Probably this weekend.
-
She is all the way back now. Me and Reg went up to the hobby shop this morning and replaced his hubs and did my u-joints...so im back in full baby.
-
Front and rear pinion seals replaced yesterday. Summer is great. I can slowly complete all those things I put off during the cold ass winter months.
-
you should do a write up on what you did. and difficulties?
-
did you install your lockeer?
-
Rich, I think I can help you install your locker, if you want to give it a try. You will need a shim kit for your dana 35. You should be able to pick one up online for cheap. Talk to Pete for more info. Also, we will need:
Locktite
Rollerbearing grease
Diff fluid
New bearings and races if your locker doesn't have them installed already. Again, Pete can help you get the right parts, I imagine. Also, if you ask him, he probably won't mind if we call him if we get stuck.
I learned a lot working with Pete on my locker. Well, I watched for the most part, but I learned none the less. I don't charge much, just beer, but I don't warranty like Pete! Let me know if you are interested.
-
The locker is not installed. But I think I may take you up on that Axle. Ill let you know when.

Standing by to work on your rearend, my friend! ;D
