This is sad because its most likely true haha. I can relate. Ive been a part of a lot of communities for different kinds of vehicles, but nothing relates to the Jeep thing. I feel like they have personalities. When I drive my gas saver Yota, punch something when it doesnt work right and it doesnt immediately correct itself, I just feel like Im driving a robot. When i do that to my Jeep it says "ALRIGHT ALREADY!! Back to work for me."
Coming from a diehard Mustang fanatic, Ive never developed such a relationship with a noise prone hunk of metal in my life. I needing ****ing help. *sets the bottle down*
Looks really nice ! ... I think ..? -hard to see itbut before that got some work done on the flat skid.
transfercase relief is almost done, just needs a couple more gussets.

Could you take a pic from farther back so we can see the whole thing - ?? - the overall shape
I been wanting to do something with an old skid plate i got (flatten it out and reenforce it)

Washed it for the first time in a while it's all shiny, finishing up with the tub maybe leaving the craft out or cutting it to be removed easy

its actually Hot-Rolled plate, 1/4". but with no mill scale. makes for much better welding and cutting.
these are just some cell phone pics. its not done yet. it still needs to have some more gusseting and bracing done, as well as some tie-in brackets for the unibody.

Got the front bumper off. Power washed the driver side frame as it is covered in oil. Started painting the JCR front bumper, hopefully will get that installed with the unibidy tie ins, the steering box spacer, vacuum delete, and 1" coil spacers this weekend! Good news- all three steering box bolts broke loose with a 12" ratchet and no PB Blaster!:cheers2:

Fought tooth and nail with door pins on my '92. Still not done! More busted knuckles and burnt hands to come after work tonight. Trying to fix a saggy door and put in quick pins for easy take off. But the old pins are not going down without a fight! Bring it on!

Also trimmed the front fenders a good bit. Washed it and went over everything, found out uca were both loose and the one set nut was loose too. ****ing idiots at shops anymore. Front end is a lot quieter now. Wonder why? Lol
Also found a random wire/connector in the front of my jeep? Its right behind the front license plate inside the bumper? its definitely a factory jeep connector but I cant find what it connects to? Any ideas?

That connector is for the temp sensor for the overhead console. As for running hot, does it do it only when sitting at a light or pretty much all the time? If its only at a light you need a new fan clutch. Otherwise I'd flush the cooling system and get a new radiator. The stock one sucks, I got a CSF 3 row radiator and the highest my temp gets is 211* according to scan gauge. That is only after flooring it up a long hill. My normal temp fluctuates between 195-205*.
Ok good to know about the wire. I still have the stock rad. I think thermostat went in it cause it didn't take any coolant from the reservoir. I sitting in a parking g lot now waiting for it to cool and stop dripping coolant.. ugh. Off to get more coolant and a thermostat.
