in other news, moved the Jeep around and got a quick snap of it with the lift

a bite at a time
the adapter to the PS pump
and connected
and then the almost right belt.... I ordered the one size smaller - this will work but it will lose tension the moment it starts stretching
installed
thinking this is where the filter will go....
and classic, it works
but lost one bolt
it should work (stock radiator)
new panhard bar, just waiting for install

time to make a hole
for this
haven't decided where the motor's battery is going to reside. Probably behind the passenger seat... anyway besides moving stuff around - this was my 'major' accomplishment tonight

Went to Portland to visit dad so didn't get a lot done... however
installed the new, adjustable panhard
and new stabilizer
then spent quality time seeing what it would take to make this fit
this is now redundant
Cummins makes a shorter oil filter... less fittings, sure less cleaning (but there is a work around with a Franz style filter)... that said this is a every 3k oil change so I'm not as worried
then got to work on the tank.... ordered the fittings and hose, should be here Tuesday
Thankfully, with all my spare time, an old guy had a medical emergency and nearly head-on ran into me. Hoping he has insurance... glad he's not dead, it was touch and go there... it's odd to go from victim to rescuer in less time then it takes to type this....
Oh yeah, all while on my way to church (he was headed the wrong way
)

back to Jeep content
I've had the 'other' window since Woodinville - so giving it 2 years to age seemed like a good idea. That and I'm waiting on parts so time to get other stuff done
and the insert
and the window removed
removal tool
a bit of windshield glue and it's in place
back to diesel content tomorrow

back to it.
$200 later and the right belt
one that works (neither of which came from Quickdraw) but note how very little space there is between white marks? that white mark is where the tensioner is when no belt is on
this is the correct belt installed - note the white mark on the tensioner?
now that's sorted... time for my nightmare

Fittings arrived
didn't buy enough hose but napa carries it so it'll be fine
disabled the electric pump - found nice metal bits in the well
removed the one way valve in the assembly to disable the pump. It's still in there in case I ever LS this or need it but now it's most certainly off
this is impossible for Jeep dealership mechanics.... snapping the fittings together - no maybe y'all see why I'm so irritated at them. Even engineers could fix stupid
need to get a 5/8 overflow hose
get the tank in, then realize I can't get it all the way in because the lift is in the way

I think everything but the cruise control will work.

time to fill it up....
also put 10 gallons of diesel in it... pickup works fine
and cooling
of course the hardest thing is to remember how this puzzle goes together.

after a bit of research, it all went back together then the intercooler
I got a 'deal' on this (meaning only about twice what the parts would cost alone) but this is for a JK with a supercharger - so some connections required
but it all, basically, bolts in place
you'd think I'd have tubing to connect this.... but no so I wait
we'll get back to this and in the meantime build coolant tubes and get onto wiring

onward with the plumbing
need to reduce twice to get to the radiator size
now polished
and assembled
and bottom one
and this is lurking
actually, outside of one bracket, it shouldn't be terrible - just clip what I don't need

Trying to escape the city
This is one of the things I'm curious about. The JK isn't new but it isn't old either. So I imagine getting the computer synced will be a challenge... at least for me. lol
