My WJ Build

[wjtstudios]

This was not a fucking 6-hour project. Replaced my heater core and even though my evaporator core was you're working order I replace that too. I had a difficult time connecting the evaporator core wouldn't line up finally got it to work. I really realize my heater core was leaking when I felt the floor on the passenger side. Was not looking forward to this project I went the long way and took it off in three different stages. Even though it took a long time to do it I'm still pretty satisfied so far. My carpet still drying I might just purchase a new rug and I got most of my dash in at the moment. I was also pumped on trying the white gauges but when I plugged them in it did not light up so I'm going to take it back.

So I'm very stoked about my heat now it's really hot just like my JK was and I used one of those charged kits for the freon and nothing's leaking it's doing pretty good so I'm pretty happy with the whole project right now.

Yeah, that sounds miserable. Glad you were able to get it sorted!

Good work. I would’ve considered swapping all the fun parts to a new Jeep to avoid that job. I’ve seen some tricks of cutting the inner dash up instead of removing it etc. Your patience to do it right is super high.

Thanks guys. Now that I had not had enough misery I might replace the upper rear a arm.

 

[Ddays]

Ugh, thats gotta be one of the worst jobs.

Fuck yes. Now another one with the a arm. The spacer install fucking blew before. As much as a headache it was doing the the cores I would do again in another jeep if i got a sweet deal on another for sure.

Starting this one now. Rear A-arm upper control arm and ball joint...check, blankies for me to lay on...check, jack stands... check and tools... Check! I hope I'm done by Monday. Oh and one glove...lost the other. Sucks I'm a lefty too. If you see anything I'm missing please let me know. Oh, red or blue loctite? Thanks guys!

Don’t see any beer for when things go bad and you have to take a break before you lite the whole damn thing on fire. Or is that just my Jeeps?

What i see the Pacifico one ain’t enough

Just finished that one for breakfast I got more in the fridge. Lol. I guess it might be a good idea Jack the Jeep up.

 

[catahoula]

Holy shit. When I put the spacer in before it was such a pain in the ass that's why I've been hesitant doing this right now. It is going so cake right now!

 

[catahoula]

Wooohoooo! Success!

 

[J&k_Overland]

Glad it came out easy. Not usually the case.

Well to be honest, I did not use log type for one because I wanted to get an aftermarket a arm so this time I just might use the blue right now what do you think?

 

[J&k_Overland]

If you have lift plans that will replace it I’d just torque and check frequently. If it’s staying on awhile lock tite it.

 

[catahoula]

Thanks man.

Seems like the first time you take it off, it's a pain in the ass, but the second time isn't too bad. That's how it was for me too.

Hell yeah. So much easier. If I was to do the lift all over again I would have taken the time to replace the bushings in the ball joint in the ant arm at least. I had read that it was very difficult to take the ball joint out when you doing the spacer but now that I've done it it was so much easier I could literally torque all the bowls correctly now I feel a lot better. If it definitely got rid of a lot of the noise that I was having in the ass end.

Back to running!
