What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

Dang. I have had that happen. So annoying. I feel like I am hyper aware of odd sounds and anything like that drives me nuts. Nice work getting it out.

Thanks haha. It definitely wasn't easy to find. I had to replace my starter last week (took a plunge deeper than intended over memorial day) and I looked for it then. I didn't find it so I thought maybe when I removed the wheel it worked it's way out. But nope so I just started tapping/shaking on each component until I heard that rattle to pin point it.

Now I got a few things on my plate. Doing a half rear seat delete (60% Portion) and I'm going to attempt a DIY Fridge slide. Then I'm going to replace the stock fogs with an Amber LED POD.

Went camping in the Talladega national forest this weekend and reached a new level of achievement with a busted CV joint. Luckily I was able to limp home. New parts (yay!) are in the mail already. Taking the moment to convert to manual hubs as well. Will post pictures once that's complete!

I've been ignoring the XJ for the last month or so and spent time working on the way off-road machine. Otherwise known as the boat.

She is getting a new engine.

Installed some new Teraflex ball joints, Teraflex sway bar disconnects, and replaced the front axle u-joints yesterday.

more what I didn't do..

Today I decided not to put a RTT on my 4Runner.
I have been going back and forth for a while now, trying to decide.

Ultimately, throwing 130 to 180 lbs that high and and losing ~1.5 MPG is a no go.

Finally fixed one of my lights, the one near the solar panel had come detached from power but good to go, can’t wait for the bull bar to come in I’ll have to wire those 2 lights into the same system for sure, I’m also thinking about getting some yellow lights kind of like the Toyota’s I see, but I dunno.

Got the master cylinder and calipers replaced, rebled the brakes on my brother's CJ7. One step closer to getting this thing out of my garage lol. I also took the repro fender flares I removed off my CJ5 and replaced the front flares that were basically falling off. I'll be doing the rears later I just ran out of gas as I got started on this late and called it quits.
