TJ: Wrangler (Cheap and Nasty)

[fesm_ndt]

The diffs with lockers and rear discs are mostly in but has taken forever to finish due to work and overcoming annoying hiccups i.e. :

- rear uni joint got chucked across the floor by over zealous helpers (OZH) resulting in needle bearings everywhere. So more cash to be spent.
- OZH cut the front upper swing arm bolts resulting in a 3 week delay
- 5 wheel nuts now missing
- OZH cut rear wiring loom so ordered a new one today
- OZH dog likes to cr@p under the Jeep
- I gouged one of the new brake pistons so had to order another

So I go out the shed and get disillusioned. Can't wait for my house loan to be approved. Bled the brakes today so had a win with that. Tomorrow will sweep out under the Jeep and try to get the last few bolts in, then wait 2 weeks for the loom to arrive.

I have to order new handbrake cables as the one I bought ages ago are incorrect

With the new house I should be able to work on my other truck

Well some progress at least

- uni joint all replaced.
- All the diff bolts and nuts in.
- 3 wheel nuts now missing
- New rear wiring loom arrived
- OZH dog got several boots up its a$$
- New brake pistons fitted
- New rear disc handbrake cables fitted...... need to adjust the shoes tomorrow after I print out that section in the manual
- Steering box seals arrived

Had it out the front today driving up the concrete steps

Still a lot of little stuff needing tidying up

Well FA has been done on the Jeep for 12 months as bought a new house and still cannot get into the shed as it's a metre above ground level...........

I have to lower the fuel tank to get the new rear harness in and its not something I want to do on the front lawn.

Did get to look at some old school Jeeps recently though
