pickup will be a bit delayed, buyer smashed a deer with his tow rig earlier this week. so will be next week sometime instead of this weekend. too bad no parts interchange with his gmt800... Got the whole frontend, square centerpunch from air dam to hood

This did successfully leave.

I finished plowing haystacks off the yard with the new plow pile today. I don’t think I had a thread yet for the XJ I got from Will.


Only picture I have of it, it seems.

Drive around for almost an hour all I’ve the yard pushing grass. Adjusted pivot point so blade lifts higher. Could use some bushings or newer pins, lots of rattles pushing across grass.

Dash is dead. Shows “no bus” I forgot to unhook the battery when done, not sure how long that takes to die. Shifter way too tight, I will break it. Otherwise seems great! Bunch of atf cooked off from somewhere while idling but that got better not worse.

that shifter is tight inside the transmission, it has nothing to do with the cable or shift linkage. 


not sure why dash is dead, everything worked last time it left my shop. 


i think i put front axle ujoints, exhaust work, wiper motor, welded the rear diff / fluid, not sure what else. 

[mr.mindless]

Will knew about it, he was saying something about maybe something fried from welding with live batt/computer? Idk.

When I look at interiors between them I’ll likely swap clusters and maybe play with computers. Would be nice to have a working dash in the one I’m so far not selling.

Dash pulled out and kill switch installed inside. Plow back on and leaky tires filled. Battery swapped for a good one. Ready for snow.

im hoping to skip plowing again this season!  bah   

[mr.mindless]

I moved here in hopes or more snow. Two decades of disappointment.

i guess i had my fill as a kid 3 decades ago

[mr.mindless]

decided to push it around for fun. jeep sure is a LOT smaller than a 2500 longbed. good for maneuverability. will be wanting for any actual big snow.

plow motor solenoid stuck on just as I wrapped up. interior master shutoff was very nice for that. I after it didn't want to unstick, I just moved the blade left/right as I parked to not deadhead the pump for minutes. always something!

[mr.mindless]

White xj immediately just now.

Both front tires flat. Put 40psi in them.

Have 4 more tires in the trunk if they leak down much in short term.

Need to pick out 10 tires to send to recycling in a couple weeks, so those might be on the list

[mr.mindless]

One of those 4 was flat too. Shoved 40 in it as well

[mr.mindless]

fronts were low at first plowing this year, I finished pushing for 2nd or 3rd time this year just now.

I put the fronts to 50 and they've held since. not sure if they're still at 50 but they're not flat.

backfed a ground to one of the 2 cig lighters and fixed almost the entire dash. Have a cluster again, have 4 ways and signals, everything except for windshield wipers. I'll regret not fixing that at some point.
