Another forum I am on does this, its great for the little nothings not worthy of a new thread. Its a confidence booster for your WK to let it know even the little things are important... oil change, de-badging, painting bits and pieces, repairs, the fact that you finally got to drive it...
Ill start:
- considering I made all of 2.1 hrs for the 6.5 hrs I was at work, I pulled the grand in, pulled the front end off and rerouted my HID relay harnesses for my fogs and headlamps. When I initially installed them I was slamming them in with no time to worry about wire routing or ballast mounting.
-Checked all my fluids to make sure all was still good considering the open heart surgery done to her a couple months back, all checked out good other than what looks like a slight coolant leak from my radiator end tank.
-dusted her exterior and shined the tires (she got a bath last night but it sprinkled on the way home)
-Installed a steel skid plate!
-Saturday I pulled off my steering wheel to resolve my squeeking clockspring and clicking turn signal cancelor cam, In a moment of NON-thinking I spritzed the clockspring with some spray lube, good news... it is quiet... bad news, I had a "check electric brake system" message in the evic and the traction control light on following. Quickly hooking up the witech I found I had an "internal scm failure". 2 days of driving later it went off and hasnt come back (phew)
Was watching a cheap OEM DVD NAVTEQ disc for my REC but some a$$hat outbid me on it 20 min before the auction end. Oh well, I then drove up the price in revenge. They would've got it for $42, ended at $78 and someone else stole it with 8 seconds to spare. The OEM nav isn't worth that much...I'll just use my Droid for free haha.
akim- i have a crapload of bulbs, mostly 9005 n 9006. Those were used with a 55w kit so idk if it drains any color out..but i can send you a few, test em and choose w/e you want n send em bak.
Gassed up with 93oct and ordered a replacement fastman tb. Some how moister got inside and played havok with the electronics... im blameing the wild weather changes. Its gonna be 71 tommarow and drop to 42 on wed. 33 by friday.
I guess cause I want my car to have an actual paint job lol that's why I finally wasn't too paint my grille and side moldings lol. And I like your style! But I'm scared how much Paul is going to charge me lol
alex just check him out... send him an email and ask it wont hurt. ive had a couple things painted by him as well and he is very good with pricing. and his work is phenomenal.
id do body color moldings with the lettering in black as davy said. just getting rid of those fat moldings is gonna make a HUGE change.
Haha thanks brother ! And I hit him up I've seen his work and fell in love with a couple of his headlight jobs
... My only concern is that it will leave the tan marks on my jeep
Mine is completely debadged and you cant tell there were ever badges on it. I had some lady in a prius ask if it was a "Chrysler", I said with the straightest face "Its a Jeep" then pulled away lol.
Thanks man. When I tried the trick the first time I was like holy crap, I wish I knew this when I did my WJ! You might have to play with how long the ice pack stays on.
BTW today its not what I did for my wk but what I am going to do ! I am still on standby with nick on my side moldings but I got a quote to get my bumpers fixed and re painted also the pillars between my windows painted with my grill painted (actually painted) any other dents and scratches (left passenger door) plus nicks side moldings for 1200 from this great spot in LA very excited !
Starting was noticeably slower this morning because here in MO the temp dropped from 68 yesterday to 22 today. Going to clean off the contacts on my block heater cord and connect that baby tonight. Looks like winter is finally here.
battery was replaced about 5 months ago. It will crank up fine after it sits for a few hrs but problem when i turn it off and back on after a few mins to run errands. I was able to crank it but it sounded like it barely went on. It was yesterday when it failed to crank so i waited 10 mins and tried it again and got it up.
Im going to check that yellow wire on the starter ive been reading/told about.
