Oh ya.. my mini schnauzer Jasper is seriously jealous he kept getting between me and her and staying by my side to let her know who’s who, she was having fun chewing on my old work boots papers and boxes anything she could find, the drill and grinder didn’t seem to bother her

Pikers... My youngest is 28 and oldest is 40... (three girls).

Cute pup... its good to get them used to the shop and who has the fun treats early.

On a side note; real jeeps fold at the windshield. I have had occasion to lay the windshield down to work on the wiper linkage and other things.

Well last week this cutting blade cut $1 million of product and now this week I pulled it out of the dumpster to serve as a fuel pressure regulator mounting bracket...... I think I might be getting addicted to fabricating things for my Jeep

I like how everything on your jeep looks so neat and clean. Everything on mine looks like it was shook up in a milk crate and dumped in there.

Not sure locating the fuel filter sit'n on/over the valve cover, is a good idea.
1-Fuel filter can 'heat-soak', and that can lead to vapor lock.
2-If there's a fuel leak at the filter. The leaking fuel will run down onto the headers, which could very well lead to an engine fire.
The late AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l 's in CJ's, had a known engine fire issue caused by a similar fuel filter location over the exhaust.

Been pretty busy lately and not going to get any better....... I hear the throw out bearing squealing like crazy on my truck today looks like I will be busy pulling my colossus nv5600 for an outrageous 13” clutch replacement but I did get to move my pressure regulator today, I couldn’t find a good spot under the hood so I went in front of the pump also got the parking brake cable hooked back up to the peddle and a new extension cable on the way

Well I decided to stop being scared and drilled the Windshield mounting holes..... right or wrong they are at least close, I’m still deciding on wether or not I’m going to hog out the hole in my aluminum dash or weld up the the tub and drill it to match

A year ago I would have said to weld up the dash and redrill it. The tub has a nut welded on the backside. However, I would now offer a different solution. Enlarge the hole on the dash just enough to clear the bolt. Get a thin flat washer that’s just big enough to cover the edge of the hole in the dash, paint it black, and it will all but disappear

Sweet 39 degrees and sprinkling outside and I fired the Jeep up with no choke and wheeled it back in the garage, fired up pretty easy I’m surprised, still need to get my O2 sensor hooked up to see what the air fuel ratio is

I broke down last week and bought a light fixture for my garage also. Fluorescent with 4 T8 bulbs. Can see now what I'm working on now.

 

[shum8]

Put ya some LED bulbs in that fluorescent fixture and it'll light up your world - those things are stupid bright.

Forward progress, I have a parking brake that works...... I will definitely improve it but it will get me past the inspection for now
