What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

His brother is laid up at home post TPLO surgery so just Emmett and I went for a short Jeep ride in the afternoon:

 

Are those five bolts for the steering box and frame mounted master cylinder?

 

Rich,
From what I have gathered, you'll need very thorough & detail applied RTV too ?

 

Steering was one thing I didn’t mess with this time. I’ll bet some of the extra bolts are from the frame mount master cylinder. Not the 5 longish ones though. Those are still a mystery.

 

Maybe from the old transmission to bellhousing adapter?

 

I spent the afternoon running wires. The disconnect kills the entire vehicle, there is another master kill switch that kills power to everything, the fuel pump has its own switch now, and a switch for the rear facing light. I wanted that light to be easily removable and hose clamps seemed to be a better choice than zip ties. I repurposed the old rear brake hose bracket on the frame to mount the disconnect. Now to try and tidy up the wiring.

 

Enginetech S1389 for the win. Not a drop.
Happiness is a dry garage floor.

The carb went on the fritz in just 4 weeks of sitting. Gotta be fuel, sigh....

 

Glad to hear.
I may try that one myself.

 

I had two rear caps. I put the seal halves in and clamped them together. The enginetech is a few thousands smaller inside than the FelPro. Also the FelPro is fairly hard and doesn't flex much. The enginetech seems to be a different material, a little more pliable.

 

I'll check on that for sure.
Mine is like an untrained puppy, have to keep a diaper under it because it spots here and there.
THANKS

 

Glad you got the leak figure out, that's great.

Are you surprised that the carb now needs attention? Jeeps are needy, they like to spend time with their people and be fiddled with.

I had an '82 CJ7 that would break something every time I looked at another car.

 

Emmett and I went for another drive today. This time to the 67th annual Uniontown Sausage feed: Uniontown Sausage Feed - March 7th, 2021 - Uniontown, WA





The Sausage Feed is yearly fund raiser for the community center. Volunteers make a great German style meal that reflects the heritage of the original homesteaders (many of those families still live here). Normally they serve several thousand people at family style tables over the course of 7 hours. This year it was take-out only due to Covid.



Contents incliude:

• 3 Home made smoked sausages
• Sauerkraut
• Dinner roll + butter
• Pickles
• Mashed potatotes
• Green beans with ham
• Apple sauce
• A slice of pie

It was great. It's our 3rd year going there.

 

That 's very Cool , look's delish !.......Can Emmett really use the plastic fork & spoon ? ( Just Kidd'n )

 

That’s what I was about to suggest.
Another trick is to run the tape the full length of the seat and around the bottom lip for as much surface area as possible, and to hide any corners that will want to peel away.

 

I bet Emmett enjoyed the sausage. You did share didn’t you?

 

All the car-hops at the feed asked the same thing, but no. No people food for the dogs. We don't want them begging at the dinner table.

As if don't get piles of treats all day long.

 

Don't have much to say about this. It was a headache installing and I hope the passenger side goes together easier.

 

Stopped at flaps for a bottle of dry gas ( and a th350 front pump seal ) ran up to the station, topped off with 10gal 93 octane. It's running better already. Short day tomorrow finish blowing it out when I get home.

 

Looks great. Which way does it swing?
Love the wheels.

 

That’s a great photo. I had a Chesapeake Bay Retriever who got double TPLO. She rebounded quickly and came back strong.
