Replaced my passenger side CV axle, intermediate shaft, and put a new deal in for good measure. Now my new upper ball joint is creaking and popping in less than a week:-( . Anybody have any thoughts as to why? Or did I just get that one bad in a bunch of good ones[emoji15]

The above photo shows the final trailing front, down at the beach.
These Super Gusts took out a substation & transmission lines,to 20,000 along the N.Shore, leaving our Lions Gate Bridge in the dark.
Many are still without power currently, and there is damage to the SeaWall.
I had to really get down and wash/scrub the Jeep for a couple of hours.
We are talking stuff blown in seals, door jams, under hood etc.
What fun, Welcome to November! :gr_grin:

Drove it to work. Jumped the tall curb and parked behind the cars in the parking lot. Security guards just laugh and never bother me or give me a nastygram since I am not blocking anyone. Can't wait for snow so the camrys have to park in the very very far lots or take the shuttle. Just no space to park at work and when you leave work at 0100 you don't want to be walking alone under a bridge around here. haha.

Nothing. Still have the dash apart in the garage. Actuator should be here tomorrow. Reassemble on Saturday. Maybe I'll have heat again.

Half of my front speakers are replaced. Found that I have an odd ball KJ with a 6-speaker system, but not Infinity.

The wiring is strange. The HU sends full range signals out to both the tweeters and the woofers in the front. Meaning I either need 2 crossovers per side, or I need to abandon one of the sets of wires. More than likely going to be the first option.

No I bought the right bulbs. Final update, the project shall be dubbed "The successful failure." since the Jeep didn't catch fire. Sadly, after a few minutes of running the fog lights, they went from deep rich amber to plain white. Back to the drawing board.

Looks great inside & out, I bet the tunes are playing loud too!
Larger/wider AT tires and once lifted, you will be totally styling & profiling! :party52:

I'm not a brake specialist, but if you plan to get this thing off the pavement and into the dirt, those kind of rotors are a mistake. There are high quality smooth rotors available. If you wanna make it look nice behind the wheels, paint the calipers and other exposed undercarriage.

Just my opinion.

Yeah I know. Just for now. Those rotors have been on there for 2 years and outlasted the brake pads. Replaced pads, and the rotors are still going strong. Not a scratch on them.

So how many miles on the brakepads? Must not of been very many??
I replaced my original ones at 99,000, ( wasn't worn out but had all new sitting there so why not , right?)
Now at 218,000 they will need replacing in next 10,-15,000 again
