Today I fixed all of the vaccum lines going to the front axle , I did not check to see if it will funtion properly but I will some day this week when I get time.
I also stumbled upon the reason I have a misfire at idle and why my Co2 levels are so high to the point where I barley passed emissions testing

Who puts this Garbage in the 4.2l ?
Autolite Platinums Yuck. I wish the Parts store was open after 3pm today I would have bought some champion coopers to put in there. (Guess what I'm doing tomorrow)

Love those wheeling pics! Beautiful! Glad to see the kiddo along!
I have the most fun when I can bring mine along with me too. :thumbsup:

I hope you keep it that color. Looks great with the grey interior.

Cheers
I plan on keeping it this color. It may eventually get some tube fenders front and rear

Today I gave The Smurf some new spark plugs , and bumped the timing. It runs much better now there is still a very slight stumble so I will be replacing the wires, cap and rotor this weekend possibly adding a MSD blaster coil aswell. I will also possibly be performing the nutter bypass . and removing majority of the Vacuum lines. Oh and after wheeling on Sunday I noticed that my Under hood light is actually working now !

After wheeling last weekend and friends always asking me how I want the YJ to end up, I need to make a decision on if I leave the XJ at its current state (still regear , add a rear bumper and sye) and get my wife another DD so I can take over the XJ as a DD . Which will intern make the YJ my Wheeling toy. If I go that route my finaly outcome will be something like this (with different bumpers )



Or I could stick to my original plan and keep the YJ as a DD , Maybe I build both the YJ and XJ so I can decide on which rig to take depending on the Venue !

Haha I had a feeling this would come up when you bought it. Personally I wouldn't mind having a wrangler for the trails.

That's a totally sexy goal!
DD the YJ. There will come a point in your life (I'm assuming) where you can no longer deal with the rough ride, noisy, smelly, "quirks" of a YJ as a DD and you will have to DD something else for whatever reason. In the mean time, enjoy the loud, bouncy, leaf sprung YJ while you can!

Plus, you know, Jeep wave or whatever :D
(In my area I have yet to have an XJ wave back :( And I wave at every...single...one.... :D )

Love your jeep!
Cheers

I wave to most modified Jeeps. Jk's are the exception I don't bother to wave to them unless they wave first here in Utah practically everyone has a Jeep

Now back to topic and let's not turn this into another wave thread

I found these today at work I think they will work to hold the shift fork over on the cad. Thoughts ? I also have a a bunch of set collars I can use, Working for a company that carries parts for Industrial Equipment does have it's benefits !

Today I had to buy some new parts. I guess wheeling last weekend weakened a 24 year old hub bearing assembly. It started to make a clicking noise like a bad u joint yesterday so I leaned out and saw the drivers front tire wobbling. So I pulled into the Oriley auto parts that was about 1/4 mile away and bought a new hub , 36mm socket , and a new torque wrench. Since my socket and torque wrench are in a buddy's toolbox just outside of tellico

I did a little work on the YJ today , I replaced the d/s hub bearing that was bad , and found that the u joint was trashed also. So I had replaced them and replaced the tire that had a sidewall punctured on the YJ's first wheeling trip.

Whats the suspension and wheel/tire setup on that red one? Really like the stance, minus the missing flares. Never was a fan of any jeep without flares
I know that red one has a 2.5" lift and 35's. I am going to stray away from the 35's and lean towards 33's.

Here is how I want the final outcome to be 2.5" OME , Flipped twin-sticked D300 with 4:1 gearing. D30/8.8 combo , 4:56's front and rear Lockers, , full cage , fully armored and flat belly pan. Possibly cutting brakes and suck down winches eventually Tire Wheel Cloud Vehicle Car
Tire Wheel Vehicle Sky Automotive tire


The white rig belongs to A guy I've wheeled with in Baltimore 4wheelers it is his stock class comp rig. For Rausch Creek's comp series. I've seen it in action when I judged a few events and I like small rigs so I will be basically doing a carbon copy of his rig.
