What did you today for your BOV/how did you prepare your BOV

[silentpoet]

Well I pulled most of the window mechanism out. Now I am going to have to try to find one on ebay. Not sure I can fix the little bits that are wrong with it. Started to pull the carb off too, but didnt have the energy. Plus I got to thinking that I need to clean the motor off before I pull the carb.

I measured the seats and have started looking for possible replacements. Might be cheaper to replace than to recover them. Just trying to keep this thread alive because the idea is a good one.

[srodocker]

added some 100w h4 24v headlights. And some led bulbs to my turn signals and tail lights.

[Anastasis]

Flushed and refilled radiator and replaced spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap, etc.

[Monklicous]

Yesterday, did a flush and fill.....

Ya it needed it.
Today,
Checked and topped off air in tires including spare.
Checked all my recovery rigging for fraying, rips or other damage.
Put a bit of never seaze on the threads of my shackles (Trying to get the pin out of a shackle wile freezing your balls off sucks)
Realized my leafs are fanning. (Oops forgot to make new clamps)

Oil in the cooling system. Check for a warped/cracked head and/or blown head gasket.

[Dubbya]

Transmission service, differential service (front & back), coolant flush, and an alignment to finish it off. Nothing glamourous but well worth the money to keep it in working order.

Forgot to add oil change and new wiper blades.

[ZombieSoldier01]

new o-rings on the fuel filter bowl installed

new fuel filter installed

new smittybilt tube steps delivered

new Tekonsha Envoy trailer brake controller ordered



next on the list is the cb stuff, new batteries, tires, and the exhaust/ intake

[Dawgboy]

Bought a set of Factory AMC rims with good tires on them so I will have 2 full sets of tires and rims...

Cleaned Throttle body and related sensors, pix in my build thread.

-Brake Inspection; Bought good pads (EBC Green) but NAPA rotors since I was afraid to order rotors via mail, but the NAPA rotors are glazing over and are just bringing crappy braking performance. If I brake check hard a few times to get the pads hot, performance is much better, but they squeal a little, but I'm suspecting it's rotors. Going to get some good EBC ones sometime soon
-New Serpentine Belt (Gates)

-Tire Pressure check
-Ordered new lug nuts from Lee's; the ones I've replaced with NAPA or Autozone Duracrap have caps that keep falling off, these are solid ones
-Greased zerk fittings on front end
-Tested belt tension; tensioner good, belt tread depth good, but belt is at 60lbs, when it should be near 120-140lbs. Attributed to squealing when temps are ~<20*F

K&N Intake, ARB Recovery Strap, WARN Hitch Tow Shackle, and 2 Scepter cans should be rolling in throughout next week.

Unfortunately it didn't come in yellow and I didn't find a bag full of guns inside.

Those 33's look BA man! You're the one who got me onto www.cherokeeforum.com from looking at your build thread and seeing the bumper sticker.

Well the money I had started saving for my light bar and a few other odds and ends went towards getting brakes fixed. Between two and a half jobs and trying to spend time with the wife I just don't have time or the space really to fix it. Not to mention its freezing cold outside. So there went 400 bucks towards rear brakes.... Oh well at least I can stop.

[Oneswunk]

Sucks man. Ive made a lot of trades for parts and found a lot of shit cheap on CL and for sale sections of jeep forum and jeep Cherokee forum. just look around an you can find everything you need to lift on the cheep. Look up the junk yard lift thread on JCF for some good info.

[ATXzombie]

These are pretty good shots, man. With the topmost image, I almost felt like you were going to run me over. Creepy and I love 'em.

[srodocker]

hehe thanks i cant wait to get my 46" tires and more lights mounted on a roof rack!

[Dawgboy]

Last week I picked up a set of goodyear wranglers to use as rollers until I get the lift. Worked out details on lift shipping from Toledo.

Today the new fuel pump arrived so Saturday I will lower the tank, replace the rubber hoses back there, and install the mechanical fuel pump. This is on a 74 Jeep Wagoneer.

This week I found an older hatchback for my wife. The car she had was a cheap temp vehicle, and it was falling apart. She has the same basic car as I drive now, just a year older and hers is all stock.

The chrome knobs on the stereo are so cooler than anything that's "retro" could ever be.

it's a 1979 Mustang Pace Car.

302, auto, Recaro seats, and 84,000 miles! It needed a few little things, but she drives it to work every day now.

Temp sensor, air filter, headlight switch, dome light bulb, floor mats, flush and fill on the coolant, and a battery hold down thing. New thermostat goes in tomorrow.

The tires are okay, but it has metric rims. the tires (if you can find them) are around $400. EACH
So I got a set of 1987 mustang GT rims, and new tires go on tomorrow. Not sure what I'll do with the old Michelin TRX rims yet. Maybe make a coffee table...

Most of the parts on this car are cheap and easy to source. I am familiar with the vehicle type, and most of the parts will match what's on the car that I drive.

What is on the center of your bumper? Also, very nice Wagoneer.
