    What did you do to your jeep today?

    The mad dash to get some upgrades and modifications done is real. My home workshop, usually reserved for fossil preparation and fine art, has become the staging area for Jeep Stuff. The fume hood in my personal lab at work has been converted to a paint booth. Got lazy and filled the glassware...

    Yeah, I had some too. All the work in the gym last year or so for me resulted in an entire new wardrobe...gained a buncha weight.

    Had a little "help" today while troubleshooting a door lock actuator. The Warpug is out with wifey so Lupe claimed his doggy bed in the workshop. Looks like the actuator has water damage, so going to have to replace.

    Yeah...thank Douglas Adams for the Prefect joke. Most on this side of the pond never got the joke. I never understood the design, particularly when the Prefect is like the only car more underpowered that the VW 1200cc flat fours of the slightly later era. Never was a Prefect here, but always...

    Mwa ha ha haaaaaa! Better living through hazardous materials recycling. Mixed up some seriously ********* powder coat stripper. Skipped the hydrofluoric acid though- it's nasty all on its own. I added toluene and acetone to the dichloromethane/phenol/formic acid mix and added just a touch of...

    Got a bunch of boxes of chemicals to treat and coat aluminum parts. Will report on that in the other thread. Gonna get weather well above freezing next week so the crunch is on to get stuff ready for installation. Also reverse engineered a well known and top rated chemical stripping solvent...

    Mine was an 07 transition model. so half 06 and half 08. Dirty Power issues well known and documented all over the forums here across all the KJs and KKs. As others have mentioned in addition to voltage, the numerous ground straps contribute to the sensitivity issues in the brain box. In the...

    Thanks to filthy road melt I noticed interesting things about Rubicon hood design. Sure the stock hood vents are non-functional plastic boxes but the filth demonstrates the hood was designed so they would work. Legit post as my neighbor's LIBERTY IS IN THE BACKGROUND.

    To clarify in the guy's defense: He gave into the urge to drive over stuff we all get.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    POR-15 and duplicolor stuff arrives tomorrow. Just finished prepping the fume hood in my personal lab to start coating parts this weekend. Gotta do some overtime in the labs anyway this weekend, so can get stuff coated before and after shift and on lunch break. Might as well be super efficient...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yeah, they were fine for temp use. Perhaps you could bolt on some F-350 (or other bro-dozer) towing mirrors from the scrap yard? Or perhaps a doors off set for a wrangler?
