Got to install the newly paintedfenders and corner guard today!!View attachment 619541

Coalmont OHV is calling your name now!

 

[John Cooper]

I love your Jeep more than my wife. I'm sure I have more invested in her though. Sad. Even trade and you take over payments?
p.s. Has @John Cooper taken you through his favorite mud "puddle"?

Nope it's Coalmont time baby!!!

Coalmont OHV is calling your name now!

Waiting on you

 

[hear]

Been busy on daughters 97. She keeps complaining that her a/c doesn’t work, but what she actually means is sometimes it just “cuts out.” Turns out what she *actually* means is that sometimes it stops coming out of the upper vents and instead moves to the defogger. After a quick test drive, it seems like it happens under load and/or at the top of 2nd gear. I’m thinking vacuum leak.

She will never be impressed enough that I diagnosed that without so much as lifting the hood or using a vacuum gauge or smoke test.

(The vacuum gauge pictured was to test the check valves after replaced the hose).

Waiting on you

Waiting on the weather to give us a dry week or 2.

Update on the new Jeep Air kit installed over the weekend. All charged up and blows nice and cold. Seems almost odd to have the windows zipped up while driving now.

Now just waiting for the hard top to come in.

1. Used the brake light tube and hole
View attachment 617636
2. Brought it up behind my tool thingy and drilled a hole on the blue cross behind the plastic cover of the hinges. Put the wire trough and filled it with silicone.

3. Wire behind the hinge cover and another small hole on the blue cross in to the back.
Just make sure you have enough length so the wire won’t get damaged while opening the rear.

4. Enters in the back. Filled the hole with silicone and put the fabric back so you don’t see anything.

5. Total route of the wire.

Ah. Hinge covers! That would be what my TJ is currently lacking. I can easily mount the cam below the tire, but the view you hget is crap. Need to get the cam in the spare and the wire through the tailgate. Thanks for the pictorial tutorial!

Let There Be Light(s)

Rewired the light bar with quick disconnects on the leads.

Used an OEM fog light switch to get that matching ambient back-lit glow (because I'm OCD, that's why). This Hella light bar set-up only came with 'Tomb Raider' TJ edition. I bought it as an accessory, and it really changed the look of my TJ. The lights are handy in those instances where you have to let the car ahead of you know that they're driving like an imbecile.

Mine does something similar - I have a vacuum gauge, when it dips to 3 or lower for any length of time, the blend door ceases to do its thing and the dash vents stop blowing until I build up more vacuum.

I’m still not 100% happy with the view, but that’s because my camera looks down..

It’s allready better then before. But I have to make some spacers or get a different camera.

installed auxbeam lights to factory fog light harness. Made some brackets to mount to the warn winch plate carriage bolt location.

Well....got my Trektop NX installed and it went way smoother than I expected. Helped that it was 80 and sunny out. Then it rained and I realized that Bestop, at some point, decided the bar that used to go across the front seats to help tension these tops was no longer needed. That allows water to pool over the front seats which is a pain and would likely overstretch the fabric over time. A few emails back and forth with them and I now have the part number to add it. Just an FYI for anyone that may be wanting this particular top. IMO, you're gonna want that extra piece. Bestop part # 5682035. Still very happy with this top. Love the way they make the jeep look and much quieter than factory style.

I love mine as well but would love to add the bar to it. What is the part number for the additional bar? Thanks!

I'm diagnosing the need for new tires here from Va.

Flushed the AC system and installed a new AC compressor and orofice.
The old one was making an expensive sound.

After a month or two of 110+ temperatures you'll wonder how you survived without it.

At least you’ll know your bottom lug nut is still there.

Those are just the steering tires. The drive tires are great.
