Well I got death wobble again by hitting railroad tracks the other day.

Not today but yesterday replaced shot balljoints with spicers, timken wheel hubs, powerstop drilled and slotted rotors and carquest brake pads. Also cleaned up some of the rusty bolts. Did a redneck alignment and tires are now straight. Sometime this week I'm going to get my replacement tires in...

Lately I've been having trouble getting it to start even after a new starter. Finally found out why though. The two power wires going to the battery terminal are slipping out of the clamp style terminal. I replaced it with a lead free terminal with a wingnut and crimped a terminal connector on...

Rotors, pads, wheel hubs, u joints, and ball joints all ordered from Rockauto. Can't wait to get it all in this weekend. Going to look at getting the longarms installed in the rear and correct the pinion angle

Jeep won't crank again. This time it's a starter. It just clicks when I turn the key Out with the old and in with the new. What a difference! It fires up immediately now with no hesitation. I should have known it was dying.

Today I bought new headlight assemblies from a fellow member, @EisBlade on JeepForum and was able to pick them up and get them installed in the dark. Light output is much better and it makes the Jeep look newer.

The past few days after driving, I would come back to the Jeep and my key fob wouldn't work so I'd have to unlock the door manually and then it wouldn't or anything. After realizing it's the terminal that were loose it would fire right up. This happened 3 times this week so this morning I fixed...

I want to put the longarms that I got from a friend in the rear soon, fab up some sort of awning, and install d ring tabs in the front to replace the tow hooks. Eventually I'd like to also do the tank tuck but that looks to be far out right now because I like having a place to store my tools.

I've been so busy this summer working, traveling, moving that I haven't had much time to work on the jeep as much as I'd like to. Mods have sort of ceased for the moment and probably will until around December when I finish my internship and graduate. Once I get a real job I plan to make this a...

Finally bit the bullet and got a new AC compressor, evaporator, dryer, accumulator and orifice tube. I ordered the compressor kit off of rock auto and got it installed by a local shop. Side note, living in NC is hot and humid about 8 months out of the year. It's nice to have the air back after...

New rubber!

Today turned into a very busy day. Battery was low again so I brought the alternator back to be tested. This time it failed so I got a new one under warranty. I also changed out the battery terminals and the corroded negative cables with the help of a friend. He also wanted to take a look at my...

Lately this thing has been nothing but problems. First it's the shaking in the front end over bumps, then the battery charge issue and the sunshade won't close and the sunroof let some water in yesterday. Ugh. I know it's an older car but my wrangler never had any problems and it was 5 years older.

I went with 1/4" hardware, the rear lights I used one 2" lag screw for the corner that lines up with the foam, and for the other bolts I drilled a 3/16" pilot hole in the plastic then ran the machine screw through it and put a stop nut on the backside. I had the cut a little of the underside of...

Finally started working on the rear camping lights in the stock bumper. Thought I have everything perfect but the first hole I cut had the crossmember about 2" behind it. I needed 3" to flush mount the lights so I put the square cutout back in and semi melted it back in place. I discovered as...

Today I had planned to do both cv axle shafts and put the new tie rod end. Pretty simple right? Turns out just about everything was seized. This made the passenger side replacement take like 2 hours then it started to rain. A friend of mine has been helping me work on my jeep and diagnose this...

Went wheeling yesterday. Had to be winched out of one hole. Today reminded me just how much I hate mud and cleaning it.

Thank you!

Went on our first trip to uwharrie of the year. First time wheeling in the wj and everything worked flawlessly.
