What Did You Do To Your Jeep Today?

no pics sorry.... yup posi is a trac loc that's just the name they gave it, its a clutched rear differential. my jeep is a 74

 

I now know why ps fluid runs all over the floor. The rebuilder left the high pressure o ring out between the pump and body....

 

Speaking of "beep beep"

 

Nice, Man

Yep... Gotta have that in there. Just redid mine . No Leaks, Bled it , & ran it through its positions ... side to side.

 

We're you letting it stand in the water to take a leak ? When you get old, sometimes it's necessary.

 

HaHa No, took care of that in the bushes just after the pic. Not much of a turning place, so I got its feet wet.

 

I "occasionally" forgot to cancel my non-canceling turn signal, so have been planning on adding a buzzer.

Done today! --an Icstation DC 12V 85db Active Piezo Electronic Buzzer Beep Tone (that's what's written on the pkg.) Couldn't find them locally, so had to go Amazon for a package of 2 for $7.99 (with free shipping)

Simply tinned/soldered the tips of the wires so they would be a little rigid and "plugged" it into my flasher--black to L and red to X. Then I covered the grill of the buzzer with two layers of bath-towel cut to size and taped it on the flasher body. Works great, plenty loud--heard above any road or engine noise.



Below--you can see a slight edge of the purple bath-towel "volume-suppressing material" under the wrap-around tape.

 

Ordered a set of BFG KM2's in 32 11.5 15 to go on some 8" wide Renegade steelies I had sitting around. Not quite ready for them on my scrap-pile build, but simpletire has them 15% off for 4th of July and BFG has a $60 rebate on top of that. Works out to around $135 each (free shipping), tough to pass up

Not capable of posting a video for post #1680 regarding a turn signal buzzer, but think forklift/equipment backup alarm for sound. Still plenty loud with a volume-suppressing wrap on it. May need more suppression. I just got back from a run to a very busy July 3rd town and the "beep, beep" could draw attention.

Add a Rheostat or trial and error with resistors?

 

I have a couple of resistors from a junk headphone that I'll try to reduce the buzzer volume with or, better yet, I might use one of the headphone slider volume controls. Thanks for the thought!

 

Guy at work bought himself a “1970” but it’s pretty cut up. Drove in today just to park them next to each other.



... bookends.

 

Here's the old rigid line , that was hitting the motor mount when pivoting to tighten my P.S. belt. It was routed under the P.S. reservoir.

Here's what I did today.... Miss's motor mount by almost 2 " now.

 

The seller had been sitting on it for a while. I think he got it for an okay price for the parts that are in it. It’s definitely a “one piece at a time” special.

 

I hope you encourage him to join us here!

 

Already done!
