I don't see heater hoses in that list.
What did you do to your WJ today?
Tell us what you did!
Show pics!
I washed mine and Im still waiting for my lift to show up!
I put my new WHEELS and tires on with the jack
And replaced driver side axle shaft and changed all diff fluids.

Dang. That ain't gonna buff out.
Does anyone make stronger axles for our junk? The stockers look like they were adapted from a Chevy Cavalier or something.
Yeah, those guys are insane.
Spend over a grand only to watch the diff/gears explode. I guess the only real solution for hard core wheeling is to upgrade the entire front axle assembly. Fairly easy on solid axle GM's. Just track down a Dana 60. What do hard core WJ folks do? (Or is that an oxymoron???) Although, anything is possible if you spend enough money.You don't have to worry much down where you are. I grew up down there and used to wheel in The Savannah's east of US1 before it got paved and subdivided. It's pretty hard to find enough traction in that slop to snap axles.
Big rocks and locked axles are the most deadly combination for axles. Add in a hard turn of the steering wheel, a bit too much throttle, a bounce or two to really get some insane instantaneous shock loads on the drivetrain and things go bang. In a bad way.
The right kind of tool for the job: http://www.harborfreight.com/battery-terminal-cleaner-94450.html Cheap and works great.
I have one of those also, but it's in my plumbing box. They sell the same tool with a different name for cleaning copper fittings before soldering.
There's a starter relay under the hood. Try switching it with another of the same type. IIRC, the horn relay can be swapped with the starter relay.
So yeah, Jeep designed a system where a switch energizes a relay that energizes a bigger relay (the starter solenoid).
Where is the rest of your stuff?Built up my courage and ripped out the dash.
Took up the other half of my garage with parts.
Then I discovered that there's a lot of differences between the single zone heater box and the dual zone. Mine is a single but the condensate drain part was busted off so I bought a heater box from a part out that was the dual zone, I figured that most likely the top would be the major difference so I would split the case and use the bottom... nope. So now I'm searching for a single zone heater box.
That is the cleanest garage that I've ever seen! Aha. My garage IS my storage bunker.LOL. It's a decent sized garage with a nice storage bunker off to the side so most of the other junk is in there plus that's not a true representation of what a mess my garage is right now.
You can kind of see the storage bunker off to the right in the pic.
right now you can't even get to that bench for all the WJ parts piled up. It's driving me nuts. I like to keep my garage clean.
Transmissions, t-cases, lawn tools, power tools, hand tools, spare parts, oils, gear lubes, paints, chemicals, etc., etc., etc. A recent move from a place with a 3-car garage to one with a 2-car garage only made things worse. But I did get rid of the 350 and 454 that I had been walking around. The ears of the C's should almost be touching each other. Check the other side for reference (well, unless you did both sides that way). Here's a quick pic I took of mine (left in the pic is UP).

Bummer! I'd guess that #6 cylinder wall is not looking too great either.
Perfect opportunity for an upgrade!
Nice shot of the blacktop.Got my winch bumper and rock sliders installed from Offroad Armor based out of Colorado Springs! :highfive:

And took it for a little trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park before Trail Ridge Road closes for winter!

I always liked driving up the back way, on dirt. If you go in at the Estes Park entrance, turn right at the Alluvial Fan (it's also interesting to stop and look at the devastation there and read how it happened!).Did you jack up your rig first? There's no room back there until you get the gas tank up and out of the way.
Be sure that you do a very good job of protecting the steel that you exposed with the cutting/grinding. The fender trim stuff will do an excellent job of trapping road salt right up against the edge of the fender, where it will work its dastardly magic of making steel disappear.

Slapped in a set of dash speakers from jgcparts.com The Infinity Gold system sounds pretty sweet when ALL the speakers are working. Took longer to get the tools out of the garage than to swap the speakers. Here's a shot of one of the old ones. Yeah, it didn't sound too good.

Looks good, but I would reverse the catches so that the handles aren't sticking down where something could catch and open them on a trail.
