Any Jeepers in here?

Beef up your transmission mount while you're at it.

BTW, I think I have a flat t case skid plate. I'll look if you're interested. You would need a one inch body lift.

Not sure what I want to do yet, but I appreciate the offer.

How would I beef up my transmission mount?

There's a small pin (about 1/8 inch) that runs down the center. It breaks under torque and then the rubber starts tearing. Remove the pin, drill the holes out so you can run a half inch bolt through. Tack the bolt in place.

PB IMHO is worthless.

I use Kroil.

So I just tried to loosen the 6 bolts that are holding my skid plate in. I figured it would be smart to start soaking them in PB, that way when I do my SYE, I won't have any problems.

Those 6 bolts are VERY tight. I was able to loosen 3 of them, but haven't been able to take them all the way out. The other 3, I'm going to have to get a torch and an impact.

Be careful with an impact on those bolts. The threaded inserts have a habit of spinning. Then, you have to start cutting and welding to "fix" them. Lots of heat and an impact on a low setting seems to be the ticket.

I was able to get all 6 bolts out. We're a little stiff and rusty, but I got them.

Is it too late to sign up to volunteer to work at HoEX?

I wonder this as well...depending if I can get my front axle working

Yep, plenty of time for Hoosier Outdoor. You need the registration link again?

We do need the volunteers!

Done signed up, Signed up for a Saturday afternoon shift. As said previously, I can drive my Jeep, but you know the deal with Jeremy's Jeep.

I've got a 1998 Grand Cherokee with a shift problem. Troubleshooting indicates an intermittent 3-4 shift relay problem. It acts up once the tranny comes up to operating temp. As long as the tranny is cold, it shifts normally. I am looking for a good Jeep specialist that can help me get the relays in the tranny changed out to hopefully get this problem solved. I plan to slide under it this weekend to find the power connectors and clean them up, in case they have corroded and causing the problem. I also plan to pick up a new transmission relay to install into the main fuse/relay box under the hood.

Any suggestions on who may be able to help?

Thanks

Ryan, should I sign up as a driver or loader? I won't be bringing my Jeep this year... but I DO need to get working on it.

Currie Currectlync steering. Last night, I adjusted my draglink to re-center my steering wheel. I do know that I don't want the bolts to get too close to the track bar. But does it matter where they end up positioned to?

I'd say "loader". We need a fairly accurate count of vehicles, to be sure we have coverage.

Doesn't really matter. Just so they don't hit anything, and you can get to them again later.

Just got back from Indy. I LOVE the way my Jeep handles now.

Who is up for some wheeling? I'll be down at Interlake on Saturday with a couple of other guys. CB Channel 16, and look for the JPFrog stickers.
