What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

I think that looks nice and clean, had to be painful but to me seems well worth it, nice job!

 

That looks great.

 

I used the Spencer trailer and hauled leaves for the third weekend. It was alot of work but fun at the same time using the jeep.

 

I got my new fancy Fog light bar built.









the clamps started out here

 

very nice! looks super slick!

 

The are cheapies from Speedway motors about $25.00 each std 4.5" sealed beam in clear or amber. I think they also sell them on ebay search for Speedway Motors fog lights on ebay

 

Hi-lift Jack refurb. And install.

 

I was inspired by member Rich M. who installed a support bearing for his steering shaft. I installed one myself by welding a support plate to the frame and shock tower which allowed the support bearing to intersect with the steering shaft through a opening in the inner fender. My steering shaft is not straight to the gear box, I have a dog leg angle in it to clear the exhaust manifold with hot rod style U-joints on each end. My steering seems slightly tighter now since the bearing install.

 

that lift looks nice, what paint did you use?

 

That is tractor supply implement paint in Ford 9n red. Over primer/sealer

 

Started tearing down for the power steering conversion.



Focker how do I get images from imgbb to show up?

 

What primer/sealer?

 

Something pretty simple but maybe overlooked by people returning their old Jeeps to stock. I was messing with a bunch of details yesterday one of them being adjusting the toe in on the front end when I noticed that the steering stops were out quiet a ways. Turning the wheel lock to lock there was a big gap between the front of the tire and the leaf spring. This made sense because I knew in the past the jeep was lifted and had really large tires on it that needed more clearance. I backed off on the stops until there was about 5/8'' clearance at full lock. I took it for a drive, nothing rubbed and the difference in the turning radius was very noticeable. This might be something for members to take a look at if your'e running stock wheels and tires.

 

It wasn't a radical angle change but that's interesting! Where would I find the adjustment specs?

 

I think it's:
Rzeppa 29°
Spicer 27°
Bendix. 23°

But it's best at this point to wait for Oldtime to check in because he knows for sure.

 

but if it was fooled with by a PO it would be nice to have back in speck, im interested in the outcome!

 

In the FSM, under steering.
