    Thanks, I'll probably see if I can work something out to fix this one. Maybe some 0.25 steel and capped pipe to get something like this: Then I'll have to borrow a welder or finally spring for one for my garage. I can't even count how many times I wished I had one...

    So I went ahead and started, but I got a nasty surprise. I haven't worked on WJs much, but I'm pretty sure the spring perch shouldn't look like this: Or this: Not really sure what to do at this point...

    Alright, the battery terminals I picked up from the auto parts store are in. Here's the run down: I couldn't find good ring terminals in a 6-8 guage (which I think is what the WJs cables are) only a 2 guage, so I connected both wires for each terminal to one 2 gauge each. It worked out pretty...

    Photography tips, tricks and hints.

    X2 for the Canon. We have the same one as well, and though I don't know much about the Nikon, I know the Canon has been great to learn on. Here's a couple taken with the Canon Rebel about a month after we bought it at night, when it really shines compared to a camera phone:

    Ok, I've been having some continuing power problems. If she sits for more than a few days the battery is dead as a door nail. If driven regularly there's no issues. The alternator charges between 13.5 and 13.7 volts at idle. The battery is fairly new (purchased 10/2016) and charges and tests...

    Here's how they look after about a year; definitely some wear, but still holds it in place.

    The Butters JK Build

    Messed around with the DIY OBA a bit this weekend and added a 90-120psi pressure switch: I wired it inbetween the physical switch and the ACC power. Works well so far.

    Air I'm experimenting with a DIY on board air. I hardwired my portable compressor through a switch and relay and added a tank. It's certainly better than before (clipping onto the battery and screwing onto the schrader valve every time), but this little compressor gets pretty hot when airing...

    Iac I've had some trouble with Jan having a inconsistent idle while in park/neutral so I took a look at the throttle botty and found that the IAC module was pretty dirty. I cleaned it up with some TB cleaner (and the throttle body while I had it open) and she's got a perfect idle now! Gotta...

    Rear Driveshaft Bearing/Seal When I got a closer look under her backside I noticed a leaking rear passenger axle seal too. This was a new one for me, but it went pretty painlessly. Started cutting of the old with the Dremel. More cutting... Pressing on the new seal, bearing, and retainer...
