What did you do to your rig today?

[Miner]

By law, you have to have a front SB.

Is this fact or do you believe it to be true? Hypothetically if mine has been nothing more then a door stop in the garage for three years and it is fact I would order the parts to extend mine for the lift and reinstall it.

Hypothetically speaking it makes a drastic difference on the trails an I've (hypothetically) noticed nothing on road.

[Scotto]

Yeah it's true. When I did the safety on my Jeep all those years ago, the guy made me climb under it and add the links to get the pass. it is something they check.

I better order the fix then

Wow. Quite the fix. Sorry buddy

Replaced my low side AC line, charged her up with r134a I bought in the us (the real stuff not the red tek from CT) and now I have air woohoo.

I find it funny that it is illegal to possess or buy refrigerants here in Canada, but border services has no problem letting you bring it through

Placed my Stiller order: aluminum radiator and stainless brake lines.

Need to scrape together a few more dollar's to order the sway bar fix.

Front passenger wheel bearing was done on Saturday
Self-Boost switch for the dual-battery solenoid done on Sunday
Got new rear drums in today, so I painted them in bedliner!

[buttsy]

Bedliner on the drums won't cause problems if you mash on the binders? I don't think they're rated for more than 200F, and they'd insulate the drum against heat dissipation (potentially worsening brake fade). Though, I'm only guessing here...

[Nd4SpdSe]

Well had a can on me, and the original drums look crappy and rusty, was going to do it to those soon but I need rear brakes, figured why not paint them (I wasn't going to do the ricer colored drum) while they're nice and shiney new. Oh well, guess there's only one way to find out...

But they look so nice! lol

[buttsy]

Well, good luck man! Remember, if they catch fire they'll be a b*tch to put out...

[Nd4SpdSe]

Guess that's a good thing I keep an extinguisher in the truck!

I also have a drill but wire brush thingy and with my Dewalt impact, it could take that off in minute if I need be.

The rears only do a small portion of the braking anyway and,

it's not the Rx-8, I dont drive the truck that hard that it would cause them to head up that bad, and I'll notice anything if i smell it or I see it start to bubble. I doubt/hope it doesn't catch fire the first time out, heh.

Starting to get well again:

Driver's side fits like a glove. Not even tacked in, but I can't pull it out. It says "Do not weld!" b/c the fuel line runs right under the long seam you can see there, so I pulled all the sections out and joined them, then plugged it all back into place, but I was afraid that I would start getting all enthusiastic and do something stupid:



Bought some paint for the interior. When we're done stitching up the wounds, she's going back to fire red:



Passenger side has a scar or two still to be filled:

Could use seam sealer and pop rivets

Why would I do that?

[Adam]

The best way is self tapping screws!

When mine got welded we used seam sealer on top which helped the truck not flood during water crossings.

It's a Jeep. There's huge holes in the floor that let water out. Those are there by design. I'm fixing the ones that aren't by design. There isn't a computer. There's one cable that runs to the back that makes the square things on the back glow red. Seam sealer ain't an issue. But thanks for the advice! This is obviously not a Jeep crowd.....

[nige]

yeah, they act as though they have doors or something

changed the oil on mine back on saturday. she's ready for the long haul to utah on thursday

[Nismojunky]

[Adam]

Did the clay bar thing and waxed it after, is it ever shiny now.
