Title: Working on the jeep today.
Post by: fedrusion on June 07, 2008, 09:05:55 AM
I\'m doing some work on my Jeep Today. Replacing the rear end bearings and installing a trac lok. If theres time I may install some of my new front end suspension parts. If anyone is interested in doing some wrenching pm me and my wife can send you our phone number.

Finally got everything back together, still need to fill with gear oil and test drive but that will wait for morning. One increadibly long day working, everything measured up within specs, wear pattern looks good. I now remember why I prefer working on things in my dad\'s shop and not in my garage. Not having the right tool sucks.

I\'m glad I didnt spend both days working on it. I was tempted to do the suspension work today but as much fun as I had yesterday and as humid as it was this morning I decided to try to relax before going back to work tomarow.
I burnt through at least a half tank of gas chasing tools, out of 16hrs probably 8 were spent looking for tools and the other 8 were spent using tools or finding out the tool being used would not work.
At least the concrete floor was cool while laying on it.

I made sure to get the garage opened up early and fans going to keep it from getting to hot in there. It definenelty wasnt the best weekend for this project but at least I was in the shade.
