What did you do to your jeep today?
This was one of the worst parts of being a parent, for me.. Realizing that, for all my efforts, he could be killed due to some ******** blowing a redlight (EDIT - most definitely NOT calling your daughter said sort of person). Train'em up, raise'em right... And then pray. That's about all we...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
No, it just decided it was no longer going to hold the hose on. (yes it was properly installed) I assume you mean non-constant-tension, aka don't use acre clamps? I've never had a problem with screw clamps on plastic radiators and the like. But then I'm very prone to using a torque wrench on...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
As for what I did to my jeep.... Had a scare. Driving home, something doesn't feel right. Catching a hint of a coolant leak now and then in traffic, then I see the temperature going for the hot side. Fortunately I'm right in front of Advanced. Pop the hood and find that one of the...- burntkat

Change that filter every year or so. It's cheap insurance. I don't even change my auto-tra.nny in-pan filters anymore. They are essentially windows screen - the inline filter does the job MUCH better between the superior media and the magnet.- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
Some stupid t.w.a.t (freakin' filter!) in a Wrangler (with color matched wheels and painted undercarriage - sorry, but that shit is gay as hell. Come to think, her hair matched as well.) threw one at me as we were in traffic. I threw it right back at her. She had about 150 of the rutting things...- burntkat

I have thrown so many of those things right in the trash. Glad you like it, though.- burntkat

I R&R with an open diff and installed an Aussie Locker. Best mod I've ever done to a 4x4.- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
Absolute waste of time on those ZJ headlight adapters yesterday. The sockets for the ball-joint headlight attachments don't work. They are out of position and way too loose. The fix will be either one of two things... -work the issue in software: iterate a change to the socket assembly in the...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
Today.. Assuming it doesn't rain me out, I plan to: -R&R the blower motor. Yes, again. -Remove the stock headlights on the wife's ZJ and replace with a 3d-printed adapter housing to use H6054 bulbs.. Which aren't actually sealed beams, but LED projectors with integrated turn signals and DRLs. I...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
I had to do very similar with my 89 S10 Blazer when I did a SAS with D44a front and rear, a smallblock V8, and hydroboost brakes. The brakes gave me fits - I had new EVERYTHING (except for a salvage HB out of a HMMWV, which I had no idea if it had been sitting on a depot shelf for decades, or...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
You're on the right track. But you absolutely need to put an online filter in the return line. I'd even go so far as to say, install it before you do the rest of the work... You may find you don't need to do the rest once you've cleaned up the fluid. Depending on how dirty the fluid is, might...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
I think you're on the right track. Have you considered putting an inline filter (I recommend the Magnefine filters) in the return? I'd also put one on the trans return while you're at it. These do amazing things for fluid power systems. Reason I ask is, if you had a bad bearing, you definitely...- burntkat

I found the writeup on the door lock fix (again this is for bare actuators in an XJ. Shows the idea, not meant as a direct treatise on a KJ) https://naxja.org/threads/greg-smith-power-door-locks-writeup-pre-1991.1874/page-2#post-196279- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove mine today, as I have been. The spacers have been working fine, though there is some rubbing. I drive carefully and it is fine til I can get to it, or more accurately, decide what I am cutting out.... It's been raining and the kid has been stressed by too many 6 day weeks so we haven't...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
See my previous post, re: "relay bypass for old headlights" Voltage drop is the problem. You need to add relays at each door (kick panel is a good place) and run wire from them to the lock actuators. Granted, they're a module instead of just an actuator these days, but same concept. I have a...- burntkat

What did you do to your jeep today?
Power steering pump? That's one of those things that, IMHO, it's a fool's errand to use a used part. If I have to replace it, due to the mess and cost of fluids these days, I'm replacing it with a new one. Same holds for oil pumps, fuel pumps, basically anything "wet". Again, my humble...- burntkat
