What did you do to your TJ today?

[TheBoogieman]

Well that's not a bad thing .... he may have taken good care of the jeep "by the book" !

He did. He gave me every service record from the day he bought it new. He did all maintenance when it was due.

 

[John Cooper]

Glad to hear you got it fixed. Does @AndyG cover parts and labor?
p.s. When I bought my Rubi, the guy had a bill of sale and got his wife and mine to sign it as witnesses. Damn anal military "by the book" guy.

Well @AndyG does warranty his friendship, I guess that counts for something.

You just have to jeep a close eye on him and his ducking .....

I’ll give you a guarantee- I guarantee he’s a pervert.

This is exactly why I I sold it to him for about what I had in it- I wanted it to all work out if he had to do a little bit- I had not had it that long so I was not sure I had all the bugs worked out.

I think you put your spring in while standing on your head.

It was in New Zealand at the time. Yea, nobody knows why the front spring text is upside down. The rears don't have that problem.

The driver side wiper quit working and I opened up the cowl expecting to find the linkage disconnected somewhere. Turns out it was fine. It appears the splined boss the wiper arm attaches to was itself pressed onto a splined shaft but is now spinning on it. My initial thought for repair was JB Weld but I'm not confident that would hold up well. Maybe I'll try drilling and cross pinning it before I buy a replacement linkage.

Drilled, pinned, and working again.

Test drive in to work was smooth sailing. I need to set the rear angle some by adjusting the arms but I eyballed it before ordering the shaft so it's close already. A couple degrees off.

Refurbed Titan engine installed and survived initial break-in. Now hopefully to drive the thing for a bit before moving on to the next thing on the list.....

Pulled my M8000 winch and took it to Warn for repairs. Always been a PIA free spooling. Now it won't at all. Even with the clutch pack removed. They think it's the motor and hope to have it back to me in 2-3 weeks.

Meanwhile I ordered that $173 stainless CAT back exhaust from Holley... Blackheart. Also ordered a flex coupler from Amazon. If I'm pulling the exhaust I might as well fix everything. Considering heat wrapping the down/front pipe but thinking I'll get better results putting a bedrug over the bedlinered tub.

Leave Kiwi TJ alone ! The springs likely came from the new Aussie SAVAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ mfg. plant.

Texted the misfits in our group text and told them we were now a Jeep Co-Op and any of them that need it, it's here.

Then I got to work.

Had the tank dropped and pretty much ready for the new pump, which is supposed to be here Tuesday.

Cleaned up the old pump and found this, this is pretty much Orileys house brand. I ordered a Delphi from RockAuto.

Ever consider a larger tank?
