So, the snorkel installation is done! All and all, it was pretty straightforward. Of course, there was some modification necessary in order to run the plumbing, but, I'll go over that here in a few. Aside from drilling holes and making sure you use the appropriate size hole saw, the...

PREPARE FOR SOME ZJ SNORKEL ON WJ ACTION! With all of the people doing this mod, I decided that I could allow myself to spend $130 on an ebay ZJ snorkel to work with. My thoughts on the snorkel are: It feels very well made. it should match the lines of the WJ pretty closely. the a-pillar...

So would a chocolate blizzard be a gear oil milkshake, y'know, since it's super thick? and a normal chocolate milkshake for normal oil? hahaha

Thank you for the word of advice. I extended the Transmission and both differential breathers to the same place, the far driver side corner of the engine bay. When the time comes, I have enough line left over to extend the extension of the Transfer case to that side as well (it goes to the far...

So, today I finished extending the breathers for the diffs, Transfer case, and Transmission. Although I have no plans to really submerge the jeep, a little piece of mind is worth the $0.69 a foot for tubing. The 545RFE and its variant on the V8 have a dinky little breather which just dangles...

I came across a curious problem today and promptly fixed it. Back when I installed the upper control arms and the new axle bushings, I had to buy my own hardware. Not too long ago, Core 4x4 started offering a hardware packet in their kits as an extra. I contacted them and had them send me out...

Well, been a couple of days with the new mounts on. It makes a bit of difference, as the old mounts were snapped and completely worn down. the engine "jitter" that I've come to know is completely gone now. The new mounts are pretty firm, so there are some vibes felt, but only really noticeable...

So, not too long ago, I picked up these super beefy motor mounts from IronMan4x4Fab: They'll go on Wednesday. I'm pretty excited to get rid of the saggy OEM ones. In other news, I appear to have blown one of the "connector" fuses on the dual battery system. Replacements are incoming, but I'm...

So recently I was gifted a few things. One of which was a Yukon Outfitters Overwatch Tactical Sling, and the other was a really big ammo can. So I'm trying to figure out what to put in them. Any suggestions? I can of course get MOLLE pouches and such to use with this bag as well. Currently I...

Oh lordy. I'm glad I just put a new idler pulley on before summer started!

Soooo, the bad news is, still no A/C. The evaporator assembly in the dash let out after a couple days of lovely A/C. It'll be a few months before I can rip the dash apart to replace it. I do need to replace my heater core anyways. -But- This did come in the mail recently! "But Big Tuna, that's...

Cool! Thanks!

Would you be able to upgrade me too? I just got mine on the rig, haha OB 1813!

I actually haven't run it since '14. Back then, it was certainly doable. I know they recently had to re-route the trail because of a dispute between one of the landowners and the forest service regarding where the trail goes. A pretty good chunk of Crown King's income comes from that trail, so...

Ob 1813 Online!

Well, the Jeep got New front lower control arms. Core 4x4 Fab CAs just like the upper and lower rears. The stock bushings were fatigued and cracked enough to warrant replacing them. The factory, stamped sheet metal arms themselves were dented and rusted pretty well. The new, thicker control arms...

SO the Jeep continues to have A/C shenanigans! So The Compressor died as well, (Internal seal failure), So I ended up just replacing the Liquid line, Hi-pressure line, and compressor all in one go. -But- When they sell you the liquid line, generally they are supposed to either tell you (or...

Another video from Moab! Couple of Months later, but very well done!

Well, the shenanigans continue! On the hottest recorded weekend of 2016, I am without A/C... again. The orifice tube (essentially a $2 plastic-and-metal screen which DaimlerChrysler decided to fully integrate into the liquid line) clogged up, and overpressured the compressor. Blew one of the...

Soo Pretty, Soo Shiny! Wanted to show off the new driveshaft. it features greasable EVERYTHING (including the ball joint in the double cardan end), and a full length spline in the slip joint. I'm pretty impressed. It's a beefy propshaft! So, the Jeep is driveable again. I have an...
