Here it is the third day of January and no has made a post. Someone get out there and break something or try to fix something without using the Service Manual. It’s getting boring. 🥱
Happy New Year!! For me, my excuse is the garage is getting a "makeover" (the full works, insulation/walls, flooring, lockers, etc). I've been wanting this for about ten years but got really fed up over the last couple of years with the temperatures in an unfinished garage. Most is done and will finish with a large A/C unit in the window to help with the fluctuations throughout the year.
I think we all felt that cold snap a while back and while the temps outside were single digits down here, the garage never got lower than 55. Not bad.
To add the obligatory jeep connection, I did move my jeep around while doing all this work. Drove it around the back yard a few laps and actually performed a full flush and antifreeze fix on the radiator (had only water in it up until then = laziness). Parked it on the side while the workers were making a mess but pulled it inside during that arctic blast. Then I used it like a powered wheelbarrow to tote a few boxes around to the crawl space to store until I can get to that. Of course this would be much easier if I had the Bantam trailer back together but that's still on the list....
Once the cardboard is recycled and all my tools are back inside the garage, I'll finally get to pulling the transfer case to see why it catches in reverse when I push the clutch (that's the broke part).
