Update your rig status here!

[TJVigilante]

I had an Isuzu D44 at my place with factory 4.56's and drums that I sold/gave to Mark about a year ago.

Waggy front is the way to go with the isuzu rear end.

[AKMark]

Replaced the upper rad hose on the Suburban that's been held together with electrical tape for many months.

Moved all vehicles into the stable, they fit and I can still move around to get at my stuff. AWESOME!!!

[akram]

[74blazerboy]

still need to bleed the brake lines wed and that will be it for the big build up. still looking for a ecm for the tune port injection and i need to pick up an inline fuel pump.

[AKMark]

Started tearing apart a intake manifold on a 99 Suburban

Troubleshot window washers on my Burb

Battery charging

Picking through the pieces to find a PS pump, and a container of 6.2L stuff I placed on Kevin's bench in either late 06 or really early 07 that had not moved since I placed it which was good, as I needed a few glow plugs. Now to find my injector socket so I can pull mine to test them and swap any that are bad.

A minivan tested and a dealership that is lucky I don't live close to them anymore. (Had a dealer put a tester on the van's ABS system and tell me that the control module was bad, and all the sensors were working because of the codes, well I just pulled the codes and I have two bad wheel speed sensors and no faults from the control module.) At least the sensors are only $40 for both, where the control module was closer to $600.

I had an Isuzu D44 at my place with factory 4.56's and drums that I sold/gave to Mark about a year ago.

Waggy front is the way to go with the isuzu rear end.

Picked up a complete waggy front end locking hub to locking hub today for 50.00
then the guy threw in the matching rear d44 and a ftont driveshaft just to clean out his garage. I am going to have to narrow the front a few inches to make it stock YJ width and so it matches the iszuzu rear end. while I got the C's off I am going to turn correct the pinion angle. so I will knock out two birsd with one stone.

[68bronco]

i will be home soon and then i can install the new wiring harness i just bought for my truck i got the complete one from bronco graveyard and i will be doing body work to fix up the interior but right now its at meriks all broken and sitting for a year. i cant wait to start ripping into that thing

[Zukman]

Good to hear from you Dude!

[Zukman]

Chunking a new to me Transmission in the zuk today, Got the old one out now, If someone needs a hand call me.

[AKMark]

SAV :
1. Pulled the glow plugs, found a bad one, and wiring to another shorted
2. Went to slide the t-case back to reseal it and found five of the six bolts very loose and the t-case already partially back, meaning one bolt missing. Tightened the bolts I had, and laughed as it has now stopped leaking.
3. Had thought about swapping the front axle, but decided to help Kev out today.
4. Need to swap the PS pump, as the current one is dead.

[Zukman]

New trans lost 5th gear coming back from Ole's, going to R&R it today.

[68bronco]

[ChevyKev]

I don't remember the last time I got to work on my own rigs... :oops:

Although AKMark did swap door handles on my DD plow truck - many thanks that I now can open the door from the inside.

[boshos]

My jeep still needs work from the beating it took on Boulder Creek Trail on the M&G trip.

[93hummer]

Hummer has the Iroks back on it. In need of many minor repairs and an oil change, but overall running good.

[ajpthng]

My Hard Top went from this,

To this,

When I was planning this I also re-used the velcro so I could re-used Hard Top liner that I bought from California Tops a couple of winters ago and it looks like this,

Should keep me nice and warm in the winter of 2010.

[68bronco]

i just stripped my truck to the tub in preperation for floor pan repair and painting i also got
150$ seats from shucks and a best top security consel that matches them and some rubber
ford floor mats i also pulled the rear shaft to replace the bearing

[akram]

I managed to finish the front bumper last week. That's after starting it over a year ago. Nothing else done. waiting on an axle decision before I have a new driveshaft made. D30 axle shafts will hopefully be replaced before too long so I can run 4wd again.

[68bronco]

just got the c6 from ole yeay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! turning it in soon and buying a welder tonight or tomarrow and starting the body work

[DADSFJ]

Ball joints replaced in my superduty for my wife

Headlight replaced in my cruiser

lots of mods in store...

[TJVigilante]

Back to where I started, ball joints apparently weren't bad as I thought...I need to work on my diagnostic abilities i guess. "New" unit bearings don't work, they're for a newer Jeep with a 5x5 bolt pattern. I should have known since the axles they came off of were CV, not u-joint. And apparently they're both bad, even the one I just had replaced a little while back. Stupid Jeep...why can't they use better parts? Trail rated...phht. :p

I also apparently need to change my ujoints out in the front...that might solve another of my issues. I'll be out today returning the ball joints and pricing out some ujoints instead.

[ajpthng]

New to me track bar fixed and installed. It was the old style L shaped Track bar so it needed to be bent into a Z shaped Track Bar to clear the diff cover. Now I need to get it out on the trail and truely test it out.



Its hard to find someplace on base to test out your flex.

[SHoppe715]

Grizzlybeaver still for sale but I haven't been pushing it at all. It'll get a new windshield in the next week or so and hit the lemon lot.

Wheel tracks ordered for the LJ! "American Track Truck". I'll be building the trail trailer this fall while Megan's gone to school from mid Oct through mid Dec.
