Interior:

Needs a little cleaning. It has Catch-All mats in the front and trunk, and a spare set of rubber mats as well. I'm not sure who put the stereo in, but in the process, they bypassed the soundbar. I'm going to have to look into that and see if I can wire it back in.

It's been great already . . . I've been rolling around in it a bunch even with the bad rear end. I just can't romp on it as much as I'd like haha.

I tried to switch my frankenstein intake from the Laredo today . . . no luck. I was also going to swap my Silverstar Ultra's from one to the other and put the first set of regular Silverstars in the Laredo, but I didn't have all my spare bulbs here. Gotta get them out of my storage unit sometime this week.

Washed it tonight, still need pictures of it next to the old one:

It's up on jackstands right now waiting for my other 44a . . . I'll try to shoot a couple pictures in the process.

Thank you sir!

I'm really glad I got the silver (platnium?). It's my favorite color out of the 5.9's.

**squashman702** · 07-15-2009, 08:57 PM

Tonight I pulled the shocks, upper control arms, sway bar end links, brakes, brake lines, but couldn't get the ******* track bar bolt out. Plan is to disconnect the lower control arms and driveshaft and drop it and cut the bolt while it's on the ground away from the gas tank. I'd like to know the reasoning behind using a torx head here. Does this seem like the best way to take care of the problem? It's what I did on the 44a I'm swapping in.

Got the ZJ back on Friday . . . I had taken it to a shop earlier in the week to pull the bolt that I broke in the 44a yoke and free up the ebrake. In the process of freeing up the ebrake, they found that the screw that holds the crosspin in with the spider gears had sheared off and was in the diff oil. This happened on the way up to the shop, because the rear end was fine prior to me filling it with fluid. So $750 later, I have a new set of Yukon spider gears, axle seals, ebrake shoes, U joint straps, and a new pinion seal. Prior to getting the axle work done, I had installed my Stillen rotors on the rear and my JKS adjustable track bar. I also ordered my SCT tuner today, which should add more than a few ponies under the hood. I'll get pictures of the rotors/rear end later.

SCT Tune is installed along with 180 degree thermostat.

Quick vid, first revs are up to 2k or so and last hit 3500-4k. Hopefully just moisture coming out of the exhaust, as it hasn't run for a couple days.

That is sweet. Awesome find! Can't wait to see it when everything's finished.

AEagle326 · 08-18-2009, 07:06 PM

Yup, stock exhaust. The tune makes it sound mean.
