Jeep #12: Fixing up the rear end

The last few days have been weird weather wise. It has been so cold and rainy (even snowy) here in Minnesota. Combine that with me graduating from College on Friday and I just haven’t had much time to work on it. Cut to today where it was decently 50 degrees out and I had the day off from work. (These are actually the first photos I actually took with a camera).

I ripped apart the rear end to do some axle seals and replace the parking brake cable.

Also did some work to the front end. Removed the stock fog lights, and was attempting to remove the bumper to paint it. Looks like I need to take the shackles off to do that.

Since I hadn’t taken any pictures of it yet, here are a few of the interior:

Pretty nice since it only has 74,000 miles.

Tomorrow I do it all over again. Pulling the driveshaft and draining the transfer case to install a rear output seal. Hopefully my doors get here soon as well. Starting about Wednesday I will be pulling the hardtop and interior and spending a few days Herculining the floor and sides.

Jeep #18: Seats are In

THESE SEATS ARE AWESOME!

My old driver seat was broken, and I would have to sit up straight on my own to drive it. These things are like little laz-e-boys, unbelievably comfortable! And the reclining part… sooo nice.

Good lord!

I am hoping the fender flares get done tomorrow. I also need to go by Action Signs so CJ can put the new 18s on the sides. Then I’ll whip on the rollcage and seatbelts, and we’ll be good to go!

Jeep #18: Sahara Seats

THE SEATS ARRIVED TODAY!

Good god that took a long time. The guy I bought them from still needs to refund me $68, but we’ll see how that goes.

The seats are fantastic. Shauna and I shampooed them and cleaned them up. I then pulled the old seats and the center console, and applied three addition cans worth of rhino liner to the interior, armoring up areas that had shown some wear, fixing scratches.

Both seats recline, which is AWESOME!!

So, I’ll have those installed first thing tomorrow. I should get back the fender flares tomorrow or the next day. And then I can put the rollcage on at my leisure.

WOOO!
