What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[crestkid]

Finished raising my tow hitch ~3 inches.

I enjoyed the pleasure of replacing the steering rack bushings with poly ones....and discovered the long bolt was bent in the process....

We have these on my bike forums and didnt find one here with the search. So lets get this started. As the title states, what did you do to it today?

I ripped off a skid plate on accident, then did some burnouts on purpose

Finally got those lower ball joints replaced with the help of two toddlers and my trumpbucks impact wrench. That and a 16lb sledge hammer. Man there was a lot of rust on those things.

Fought with it and won. 4.88 with arb air locker is in. Now I need to find the small leak in the air system.

Oh and trans pan reseal and trans filter change.

I installed an Ethan's Skid Plate, It looks nice and works with my diff-drop.

Swapped out my 96 center console with a 99+. Cushion skin was cracked so I put my old one on it, which was in good condition, on the new console. Easy Peasy

Please Help!!!

I have a 2002 with 130k and a factory cooler on it. I picked my truck up from getting new tires, tie rods, and an alignment. When driving home I noticed once that the transmission hesitated to shift then slammed into 4th gear when I was accelerating normally at about 35 miles an hour. 2 hours later, I undid the neg terminal for 15 mins to let the ECU reset. I drove the truck directly after. I didn't have any issues then after about 20 mins or around town driving it would hesitate and shift hard into 4the gear. Drove around for another 30 mins and it happened a couple more times, but it didn't happen every 3rd to 4th gear shift. Any idea what is going on here? Please help and ease my mind. Thanks!

Washed and waxed it! The bad pollen here in the SouthEast absolutely stripped the previous wax job which usually lasts the better part of a year.

Do you normally use a buffer or do everything by hand?

 

[jaymz11]

By hand, my favorite wax is Collinite. Goes on and off pretty easy.

I removed the middle console and everything leading up the clock that no longer works. Going to give those items a good detailing. Replaced the 3rd brake bulb with an led.

This guy has fixed 2 clocks for me

Hopefully it is the air lines or fittings and not the locker itself. They have a run of units with a bad internal seal. If you give then the serial # they can tell you if it is in the bad batch.

strange
the clock in my 86 still works....

 

[SeaBassHWD]

LBJs, TREs, steering rack bushings and now getting ready for the SPC UCAs to go in maybe tomorrow.

 

[Ben336]

Today I got some 3/16 sheet aluminum formed to replace my lower valence bumper, and some ball joints are on the way.

Cargo Cover

1.Changed cargo cover brackets on my 2001 to the square ones and installed the cargo cover.

2.Jump started (freaking virus...)

3.Tested and calibrated field monitor.

Now I'm working on removing the vent shades. I'll be scraping adhesive for hours.

A hair drier will help with adhesive removal.
Or if your careful, a heat gun would work too. It's easy to toast the paint and burn rubber if the heat gun is left in one spot to too long.
