DR SIDE UPPER CONTROL ARM.
I was thinking this might be a job for the air hammer. If you don't have one, maybe you could borrow one. dc- David13

Mystery Spring Appeared
I had thought of looking for parts. Just haven't done it yet. But that's probably the best idea. Rebuild if possible or use as is. It's just the button that's gone. The ratchet itself still works. I probably have 4 or 5 other 1/2 drives and 1/2 torque wrench. But it's just an excuse to...- David13

Mystery Spring Appeared
I thought about it a bit and realized it could not have come from the Jeep. I didn't have the back brakes off, and it is too light weight of a spring for that. Also, I don't usually clean any guns out in the drive way. Some of those springs will fly across the room into the wall, so that is...- David13

Mystery Spring Appeared
I was putting my passenger side front tire back on, when I got done looking behind me I saw a spring on the ground. Now I have replaced many front tires, and rotated, and replaced front brakes, so I didn't realize where this spring might have come from. I knew nobody had come up behind me and...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Rotated the tires. Did some online searching about it, and found that some people think, or thought that radial tires could not be crossed over to the other side on a rotation. But that Tom Mudd used to work in tire shops and he knew that was not true. And that others here, or once here...- David13

Howard I like how you have spaced plywood between your stacks of 2x4. That way they won't get dirty on the edges, and they won't end up sticking together. dc- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I can carry 8' 2x4s in my Honda Civic. Maybe also 10'. The front seat folds flat back. And the rear seats fold flat forward, opening an opening into the trunk. As to the one 4x8 sheet I wanted, I wanted it in 4x8 configuration. Otherwise I would have had it cut into what I want. But it's...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Compared to my motorcycle, my ATV, and my car, the Jeep seems to be a monster. But maybe the truth it, it's rather puny. Particularly so if a 4x8 sheet won't fit in. The Chrysler engineers were able to figure out that even soccer mom might want to buy a sheet of plywood at some time, between...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
You can measure all you want and still not know if a thing actually fits or not, unless you actually try it. Sometimes that's just the way it has to be done. And sometimes, lo and behold, it fits, when the tape measure said it wouldn't. Things like putting something on it's side, etc, or at...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove to the hardware store and bought a 4x8 sheet of osb. Paid way too much but that is the highway robbery price they are charging now. I suppose it is due to that pathetic and unnecessary and useless government regulations that are currently going into effect. Found that a 4x8 sheet will...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Those deer are still out there, and they are definitely after that Jeep. So I'm a little paranoid. If I really wanted to be cool, I'd ride my motorcycle to work. Last two summers I did that. I get about 55 mpg there. But if I had hit that deer with the bike, it would have been far less...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Checked the oil. Right on the line. This may mean that the motor doesn't burn any (significant) oil. They all burn or use a tad, but the lesser, the better. Indicates that the motor may well be in good condition. Mileage is also indicating that. Checked the air in my leaky tire. Not...- David13

How to Paint
I'm just going to scuff it a bit and paint it. It looks like it always must be at least 2 or 3 coats as the stuff is so runny and watery. On the rest of it, I'll just brush it and paint over the rusty spots. For 12-13 years old, the rust is not bad at all. Just surface stuff. I've...- David13

How to Paint
How to paint, or actually prepare new rear transmission cross-member with POR15 paint. It's not rusty. It's new. But it does come painted, or what may be anodized. A sort of cheap paint that looks like it will flake off and rust here and there, quite easily. So my question is, just paint it...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove to work. Well, I am going to drive to work. Drove to work yesterday, and calculated my mpg based on the last fill up. 22.9 mpg. Not too bad for the beast. But that was at 50 or 60 mph going to the big city and the junkyard. Which was at least part of why I got there 15 minutes after...- David13

Do I need a new door?
The rust is not too bad here in Utah, as the climate is so pathetically dry. Rust needs water, moisture. But shipping the doors to you would cost more than a new door. You can try car-parts.com. They list junk yard parts nationwide. But then check out your shipping costs. And, I haven't...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Yesterday. I was heading mostly north, 125 miles to the junkyard for car parts. Usually it's warmer and nicer going that was, even tho' north. But no, it got colder and there was some snow, down to 23 degrees. They have signs out there "Ice possible on bridge decks". And, going over one...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
Drove (the Jeep) 125 miles to the junkyard to get parts for my Honda car. (Smashed front by deer) I got online and call info that they had got 2 one on Thursday and one on Friday, almost same color. So I thought I had a chance to get a hood and front bumper cover. I got the front bumper...- David13

What did you do to your jeep today?
I don't usually get any opportunity to help anyone like that. I did help a girl change a spare tire a few months ago. She was half on the highway trying ineffectively to change it. Far too dangerous not to do it for her and get her off the highway. I got my spare tire mounted. I think it...- David13
