*rickybobby* · 06-18-2012, 09:28 PM

Magic Erasers...

jmdirk · 06-19-2012, 01:32 PM

replaced broken passenger side front axle, replaced the windshield washer pump and the windshield wiper motor. The motor is a total PITA to disconnect the linkage for the wipers.

jmdirk, how did the washer pump go? Bought one a few years back, never replaced as prob was intermittent. Now it is completely dead. May be a to-do this wkend.

That depends on how many other modified rigs come up, if im the only modified rig then the interior probably wont get very dirty

I moved it from our front garden to the in-laws front garden...

Drove up to Wickenburg today to try our my new Alpine receiver, and newly fixed A/C. I replaced my blower motor awhile back because of a lack of air movement through the vents. The motor didn't fix the problem.

When I replaced the receiver the other day, I saw that the cable for the blend door had a broken clip which was keeping the system from going into the Max A/C mode even when the selector was in that position. I couldn't figure out how to rig the cable to stay, so I manually pulled the cable to the correct position and just left it there.

105 degrees today and it was nice and cool in the Explorer

New receiver sounded good too!

The full doors went on after a year of leaving it sit outside with the tube doors while the Dart was being built. That was a bad idea

Now that the doors are on, it's fun to drive around again

Didn't do to bad for me on the rocks in Missouri either.

I wish i had asked for a ride in Pumpkin, i bet that would have been even more awesome than trying my explorer on double whammy, which was a blast and a disapointment at the same time, with my locker i only made it a few more inches that benjiman, but come to find out i only have RWD at the moment

Put an o2 sensor on, truck runs worse. Damn gremlins!

Finally fixed the front passenger and rear driver side seat belts. The buckles were reversed on the belt so the belt got all kinds of twisted when they were buckled. I have no idea how the PO managed to get them reversed.

I had a hell of a time getting them right again. One less thing to bug the crap out of me.

Last Friday

My lovely bride comes back home and informs me
" the check gauge light came on and the AC quit blowing cold"

Me " What did the gauges read?"
MLB " idunno"

So, I went out and turned on the key to see the temp gauge spiked-

I opened the hood and saw the upper hose collapsed, and the lid of the reservoir blown off. 6:00 PM and we need to be driving to a family reunion at 9:00 AM next morning.

The "new" as of just months ago thermostat was stukkered. And so was I. I got it all sorted but I was a bit stressed.

The reunion was as exciting as Moline, KS can be, but we did make it.

*OffTrac* · 06-23-2012, 10:53 PM

Reinstalled the front sway bar and skid plate. Boring but gave me something to do.

Just a little add on, installed Philips Crystal Vision Ultra light bulbs. They look awesome, hope they last at least a few months!
