    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I hit some pretty gnarly bumps leaving the jobsite today. My two rock chips turned into a crack all the way across the windshield. Good thing it’s getting replaced, tomorrow!!

    I just realized Sunday marked five years of ownership.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I found the issue, and it’s stupid as he’ll. If you remember me doing the parking brake shoes this year (idk why you would, there are much cooler posts), the 2 piece pawl on the driver’s side is rusted and fused into one piece. I used kroil, heat, chisels, BFH’s, and a lot of prayers and cuss...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Currently waiting on a tow. I went to leave work, and there was a metallic ticking that gained with speed. It sounds like it’s coming from the rear end. I’m hoping it’s just a wheel bearing. There seems to be crunching with bumps and hard turns (I drove around the parking lot). The noise doesn’t...

    I bombed around on some forestry roads with my wife and her youngest brother, today. It made me sad that my traction control is functioning again.

    That thread looks awesome. Can this be done on the KJs?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I drove all over the county, yesterday. My youngest brother and I loaded up the canoe and tried some fishing. It was windy, and fishing was tough, so we called it and went shooting.

    Prepping for Heater Core Replacement

    I’m starting to doubt my heater core theory. The antifreeze level hasn’t changed one bit, and the puddles has dried perfectly with no stains in my garage. I put a pan underneath, caught the drip, and it was clear and had no taste (don’t judge me). However, I could have sworn the first bit of...

    Prepping for Heater Core Replacement

    I am wanting to know if there are other items I should replace while I have the dash ripped out. I’m also looking for any tips, tricks, and advice for this project. The main part I’m wondering if I should replace is the A/C evaporator, but I’m all ears for any other parts and pieces to...

    My little antifreeze drip is all grown up, now. It’s the heater core. It’s dripping through the condensate spout.

    You’re buying one single seal.

    Thank you, she’s a super mutt! This is north of the headwaters of the Mississippi in the river valley. It’s flat farmland until you drive around the corner, then it’s a huge depression in the land. It’s insanely pretty in the fall.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    We took the canoe out on its maiden voyage under its new ownership. I had to show my wife how the cool car people take pictures.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I finished my driveshaft tonight. I found that the u-joints I ordered are the t-case end u-joint. Rock Auto lists them as both ends. We stopped at O’Reilly’s and I got the other one (two of them since I thought they were the same). On a much cooler note, during my last oil change, I ran a new...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I got into the driveshaft u-joints tonight. Rock auto screwed me again. They have Dana 5213x joints listed as “manual trans” models under the 2007 tab. Well, they’re not. The cap to cap length is 3/8” too long. Now I get to fight with RA over returns, because their return program deemed the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I found a few drops of antifreeze under my jeep just now. I guess it felt left out since so many of you were talking cooling systems. Thanks a lot, guys. It seems to be coming from the t-stat housing, so maybe just a bad gasket. I’ll be able to take a closer look at home.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I ordered some u-joints today. The axle end on the rear drive shaft is sloppy, so I’ll do both. I also have a leaky front output seal on the t-case, so that will be on the agenda, as well.

    I’ve only ever caught enough coolant to dispose a few times. Once, I was so broke, and it was fresh coolant, that I reused the coolant and ran it through coffee filters. Dumps and transfer stations usually have waste antifreeze tanks near the oil tanks.
