Oh ya... We need a 'Like' button because, HELL YA!! It's being such a PITA!! Man, those TV shows can get it all done in a half hour!!

OK! I will tomorrow first thing... LOL! I promise, I'll listen to you the first time!! So we spent time looking at 'everything'. Checked each and every spark plug wire... made sure they were connected and not resting on a header. Pulled #1 plug and verified TDC... painted white on the...

11-07-2011, 10:50 PM Back in November I would have never thought I was going to have to take it this far... I knew an older motor would need normal maintenance, but I thought I'd cross those bridges as they came. I didn't think I'd have to do it all at once. I remembered you saying that to...

Went to progress more on the motor this weekend, and typically progressed backwards!! :mad: This is starting to drive me crazy and I can see why so many people give up on projects. It's been fun but I took apart a perfectly good running Jeep (sans clutch) and haven't had anything to show for...

Ocean Shores - April 2012 Salmon La Sac - May 2012

Thanks guys. I was looking forward to a wheeling weekend but ended up having fun anyways. Went to Salmon la Sac area (which was beautiful), but made me yearn for Liberty. I'll get there...

It's not happening.... :( I wasn't able to make it back to the shop to even look at the Jeep today. Tomorrow I'll take the kids camping on the other side on Snoqualmie pass with a neighbor, and try this again some other time. I've gotten frustrated with rushing around spending all sorts...

I got a new one... New to me. New yoke and splined end... little bit bigger diameter tube (2" x .083), 2.5" longer than the stock one. It's in, fit perfect!! old new Made while I waited (well, while I had an early dinner) by Dave at Advanced Driveline in Yelm. Now get this, I drove...

My fingers are crossed... The exhaust will be done closer to the end of today... I've got to tune it and make sure whatever isn't right, is... I've only got tonight to do it because tomorrow I've got to spend time getting tires on the motorhome and slightly prep that. They grabbed a 2" dia...

Will you be at Elbe?? I still don't have a front driveshaft and it runs like ****!! So I have quite a lot of hours before the weekend, but I have a motorhome that needs some attention too.

I might take you up on that... Let's see how this coming week goes. It was cool seeing you and your family today.

Thank you!! -- Heck ya!! It sounded JUICY!! Juicy and with extra sauce!! I ran it for a while again today, to burn that paint into the headers and add more fluid to the power steering and the transmission. The T/C shifter is really a bitch, but I'll worry about that later... I got it...

Today I pulled the drivers seat out and vacuumed a few years worth of Elbe, Evans, Naches and Walker... There's Morton and Rimrock and anything dirty (but in Washington State). The Jeep needs to go visit Johnson Valley, Rubicon and Moab!! Bolted the console down securely I put both the...

:cheer: :cheer: I am soo close!! I really got alot accomplished tonight and I'm stoked. I did all that was planned and then some. I installed the fender flares, new nuts bolts and lock-washers. I zip-tied all the wires, replugged in all the stuff that was on before (lights and crap)...
