Track Bar is in! greased up everything and boy that tightened everything right up, alot of the play has disappeared... as far as the control arm busings are dry rotting quite a bit...but theres no play in them so we'll give it the winter and see if its going to act up...

still have to get around to getting that heatercore out... uuuuugh not looking forward to it at all, matter of fact, putting it off...

Happy Birthday Mike!
Just pull the bulb until it warms up in the spring.
Got about 4" of snow in McMurray and about 2' down south, front driveshaft is off the 04 right now a lot easier to do dounuts in it now. lol

Thanks Dan, it was a good pretty good one, pretty much just BS'ed at the shop... was a good time

so i got some new Firestone Winter Force tires for the Jeep, he gave me undersized last winter pieces of crap, so yeah that wasn't going to happen... so got some traction now...

yeah, the bulb is a pain in the butt, for the most part ABS is useless in the snow, just make it take even longer to stop, checking out out today anyways, could just be a fuse...

other thing im doing is swaping my bulbs... i had 4100k Silverstar Ultra 9007 Bulbs in the grand am, so ofcourse i took $50 worth of bulbs out... and their going in the ZJ... the connector is the same, just have to swap the low beam and ground wires, and in the housing knock off 2 tabs...

apparently the mod is in the grey area of legality... but still so is half the crap we've done to our jeeps...

Went down to NAPA to get some new bulbs, put 60w 9006's into the driving lights on dad's excursion that sure brightens up the road! Was looking and they also have 80w 9006's and 80w & 100w 9005's. Course they're for offroad use only.... not saying I did or didn't but the 6- 130w H3's sure make a difference in the dark. Now if I could just figure out how to leave the driving lights on with the high beams I'd be happy.

Yeah i mean over here, i've gone about a hour before meeting oncoming traffic, it shouldn't be a big deal if im running some extra lights... so long as i turn them off before i meet oncoming traffic... but usually im paying attention to the road ya know...

so im thinking of getting my mom to send me up some of the stuff i had modded for my ZJ down in the states, get my 63mm throttle body, Cold Air Intake, and my switch panel for next to the transfercase...

but that silver bar infront of the jeep is going to get some black paint, and the fogs are going to get replaced with some white lights

the 9007 bulbs are in, ofcourse i have to fix the housing holders, ugh if its not one thing its another... i just hope im not blinding anyone atm...

Someone is now making projector headlights for the ZJ's. I'll see if I can find some pics of them.

well i replaced the connector on my coolant sensor by the thermostat, the latch was completely broken, and the wire was kinked, so i got a connector from the junk yard, put it on, and the stupid light was still on... quick google is saying to reflow the VIC and it should go away... so gonna do that sometime soon.. cause the beeps are just annoying

The Silverstar Ultra 9007 bulbs are nice and bright... i need to fix the drivers side alignment, one of the bottom bolts is broken in the back, so i've got to rig up a bracket to hold the bolt, then adjust accordingly and i should be back in alignment...

theeen i need to fix/replace the factory fog lights, the passanger side is FULL of mud, and the bracket is broken... sooo thinking i might buy some new ones and slap them in... then probably add a couple onto the bull bar, then roof rack,

It never stops!

CrazyWJ242

re soldering the connector on the VIC totally fixed the coolant sensor bad issue... awesome!

and im looking at buying a ZJ from my boss... i think he's getting ready to either fix it himself or sell it to me... cause he had one of the other guys fix the leaking tires, and run it for a few mins on friday... soo hopefully i can find out something from him... but considering if its in good shape, i have enough parts to fix both of my ZJ's...
