What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[XJeepguy]

How many miles on the fuel pump? I am debating whether or not to replace my original with 317k miles before it fails out of town.

My 1st pump went out at 212000 miles , that was the original pump . This one ( an OEM ) pump only lasted 95000 miles , i was not happy about the short life span . And its a ***** when they go cause usually theres little warning and never at home lol.

Coverking neoprene seat covers via Costco. The fronts should be arriving today. These were labeled as "fronts" so I have a feeling I'm going to receive two sets of rear covers.

The installation instructions were quite useless. They have 2 options when ordering, one for "carpet backing" which is what I ordered but I'm not sure I got the right thing. There's no way to slide the velcro tabs under the seat back without cutting the cargo area carpet so I used the elastic hooks which is presumably the "carpet" method? Seems to work.

Got that new car VOC smell off them, pretty stinky.

Re-did the HP stickers and covered the wheel caps with extra boost stickers.

Are the seats able to convert to the flat bed still?
looks amazingly clean!

Yep but it's a little stiffer because they are quite thickly padded. I'm pretty happy with them if they hold up (front and rear for $300 shipped). I need one for the center arm rest now.

Just got the fronts done and went for a drive with all the windows down in 88 degrees, was worried I'd get sweaty or the black would get hot but they are fine. They will be nice in winter I think.

They look really good and the fit also looks great.

How do they breath? Here, this would be a deal breaker.

They are "CR-grade" neoprene wet suit material which coverking claims is breathable. I mostly got them for when I ride my mountain bike and am literally dripping in sweat, been using a beach towel up until now. And for when my kids spill stuff. I'll try and update in a couple weeks with how they handle the heat if I can remember to.

Couldn't bring myself to drop the money on Wet Okoles which are supposed to be the best (and most expensive). These seem like a happy medium.

Radiator started leaking along the top crimp. Denso 221-0508 installed summer 2017. Bummer.

Can you provide more information on the swing down table, like how it attaches at the hinge, how it is supported when down, how it is locked in the upright position, etc.?

I'd like to add one to my swing out but yours is the first one I've seen that has a similar construction to my swing arm.

This is what’s holding the table in place. Just a bungee cord

And the table is being held by its own weight when in the down position

Is that aluminum? What thickness are you using?

Finally fixed my broken right headlight. It wouldn't hold the left/right adjustment. I realized the little clip that holds the adjuster nut in the headlamp housing was broken. Thanks to 4RunnerHouse in Garland, TX, I was able to get some OEM hardware same day and get it fixed.

Last weekend I put on some cheaper Inner/Outer Tie rods on the left side, and warrantied the Oreilly CV Axle for the 2nd time. Next time I'll get my money back and go with some from here - 9168 Archives - CVJ Axles

Tomorrow I'll be doing the warranty on the passenger axle from Oreilly and hopefully installing some OEM ball joints. I put cheap parts store stuff on 7 years ago and it's finally wearing out.

Did the front upper and lower control arm bushings with a new alignment. Followed [MENTION=120071]mtbtim[/MENTION] videos. Also did the front sway bar bushings. Completely changed the way it drive's. No more steering wheel shake and no more shaking while driving freeway speeds.

 

[Smog-guy707]

I am at 331k and just recently I replaced all of the bushings in the front and rear suspension. The old ones didn’t feel so terrible but I had gotten used to how it rode. Now with alll new bushings, OE ball joints, springs, shocks and tires it literally feels like it’s brand new, it’s amazing. It drives nicer than it ever has.

Anyway here’s a pic of what I did today. Plasti-dipped the stock wheels
