What did you do on your Jeep today - April 2018

But when it does warm up it'll jump right into summer, right? 

Had a good friend come over and give his time and ear to help diagnose an engine noise on the new engine. Ended up pulling the oil pan and finding a spun bearing. Not what I wanted, more like what I feared but at least I can work on getting this thing fixed and on the trail now.

A purist / originalist would say definitely yes.  He or she would likely know how to do it and have experience, too.

I've been working on installing a throttle body injector in place of the carb on the Pinto engine in my Blue Mule.  I finally got all the connections complete except the oxygen sensor, and now it's ready to start.  I fired it up yesterday but it would not stay running.  I checked my distributor setting and found that it was 1-2 degrees off top dead center.  I reset it to exactly top dead center and fired it up again.  This time it ran smoothly and continued running.  A quick check of the codes and all was good.

I wrapped up my rear axle disk brake swap Monday afternoon.

Now I need to get the cowl gasket to seal. I's been raining like mad these last few weeks. I'm soaked from the knees down just making a 20 mile highway run...

I got some serious progress made on my fancy Defroster Duct that will run along the bottom of the windshield. I figured out a real neat way to hold it in place with no screws or anything showing on the outside of the Windshield Frame.

Next big challenge is to drill holes to weld the bushings in place for the fancy Street rod style  Windshield wiper transmission boxes that will be hidden inside the Defroster duct. This one is costing me more then time to make I have nearly $60 in aluminum and rivets in it. But it will be so cool when done.

Welded new shock mounts to the rear frame. Adjusted the clutch cable to try and get rid of a slight vibration/noise I can hear until I depress the clutch pedal about 2 inches, but that didn't really work. Bent the distributor spring tabs out a little to try and tighten the springs a little bit. Won't know if that worked til I can get up to speed (35 blazing miles per hour). Pulled the rivets from the rear replacement floor, bead of caulk on the panels and re-riveted, with additional rivets to dampen some rattling there. Oh, and drilled out the front bumper holes to reattach to the  repaired frame. At that point the firewood gave out, started working on some interior door hardware for tomorrow's project, which will be in the house. Three inches of ice today, 45 mph winds gusts, calling for 7 inches of snow tonight. Lucky to have gotten this much done today. Have to appreciate a family that will let you burn a day in the garage and not give you a hard time for it.

ndnchf, hubs look good. I've got one of those hubs on the front right wheel. I've had the hub off, but don't really get how they work. The arms that have 'lock' written on them-are they supposed to move in order to lock and unlock the hubs? Dumb question, just no experience with them.
