What did you do to your jeep today?

[Whelan]

Exciting stuff, new radiator cap as the rubber on the old one was failing causing an air/coolant leak. Then a new battery, thankfully the Duralast Gold I got last time was in 2017 so I got a free replacement. CCA's were low.

Had this towed into work today. 110k on the odometer. Looks like number 3 cylinder intake rocker fell off and got jammed under the cam. This then made the cam jump breaking 3 of 4 hold down and causing all other rockers to jump. Never seen one fail this bad, it even broke the valve guide for cylinder 3 intake.

that's impressive.

 

[ltd02]

Ouch.

 

[lfhoward]

Makes me wonder what it sounded like when it failed...

 

[sota]

That, would make an impressive utube vid.

Oil change at 199385...almost at 200k. New muffler (flowmaster flowmonster) and some junkyard steps. Now I just need gas money.

 

[tommudd]

I ran a flowdisaster for a while, could not stand the drone at highway speeds

 

[TorrentIV]

We'll see, anything's better than what I had though. I like it so far but also haven't been over 35 mph yet.

 

[CherokeeLiberty]

I drove about 280 miles yesterday on about half a tank of gas.

Wow! Tail wind? Or CRD?

Headwind there, tailwind back, 6spd stick and 3.7L. Also a faulty sending unit that probably doesn't know Iwon't know until I fill up on Friday.

I've done 22-23mpg before, though.

I've done 23 before in the 04 going across Pa at 75-80 mph, over 4 inches of lift, 32s and 4.10s plus other heavy stuff
Was doing a run to JBA over on east side of the state
averaged 22.3 on the way back

Ordered 2 key fob shells to replace the one that melted in the house fire. Amazingly, there are only like 2-3 sellers on the entire internet who have colored fob shells anymore.

Also brought her in for an oil change, replace the sender sensor(no more oil light!) and had the O2 sensors on the driver side changed out(w/NTK's) to get rid of the pending heater circuit fault code I've been living with since the engine was replaced.

Swapped out rear axle and rear upper control arm, ball joint and bushings. Drives like a champ. My first time driving it since I bought it a week ago. Plan on lifting soon.

Lift it right with full spring lift, we don't do cheap spacers here

 

[little green machine]

Been looking for the complete list recommended to lift it(2006) 2.5-3 inches full suspension is the way I want to go. Not really wanting to change out gears yet, planning on 255 MTs of some Sort. Have budgeted $1000 for lift and anther $1000 for tires. Any and all help appreciated

Replaced hood and window struts, changed 1/2 the lugs so far.
Topped off fluids. Removed rear wiper for painting and blade replacement. Moved a few things from the old car to the Jeep.

Just saw a used set of Destination ATs and wheels online. I currently have 2 brands on the ground and a third as a spare. Gotta clean that situation up.

I'm thinking some professional fluid changes and a mechanic once over this week is in order.

 

[little green machine]

I bleed the rear brakes today, and checked out a clunk in the passages door. Window is off the track and someone had a pc of 1x4 wood holding the window up. Oh and yesterday I changed to oil. Put in full synthetic. Sticker on the windshield said 22k ,Yicks ! theres 98k now. Oh and I took off the stock muffler and put on a flowmaster super 44. Sounds so much better then stock, I still need to put a tail pipe on
