It’s so nice being close to canandaigua dmv. Walk in and wait 10 min at most. Usually zero.

i was able to make an "appointment" tonight for tomorrow in Henrietta, so i dont think its too bad.  im betting more like 30-40 min though once i get there.

CT DMV is appointment only now. Last couple times I've gone I was in and out in ten minutes. However... I had to go 2+ weeks out to get an appointment which is not always ideal. Not sure what you do if you have to urgently do something like put a car on the road so you can go to work or whatever.

11 minutes door to door today at henrietta DMV. 


i dont know what stars aligned but i didnt have to go through the general line (had all my forms filled out) and got a ticket right away, second beep was my number.  25 people in general line and at least 25 people sitting waiting. 

no idea how that works. 


put about a 15mile trip on this unit, over all pretty good.  clutch feels kinda at its top of engagement so im betting thats 123K original.  acceptable road manners for 35" tires.  something up with headlights, and ebrake alarm is stuck on.  otherwise continuous dog hair coming from all places is most annoying part.  need more scrubbing and cleaning.

Ebrake? Or general “Brake” light?

If one of the brake circuits lost fluid pressure and the pedal was pushed, it can cause the shuttle to move out of position and light the warning.

might be that, ill have to investigate.  but first start this morning all was good.  pulled ebrake,  red "BRAKE" light on.  let ebrake go light off.  started the jeep later in the day and back to red "BRAKE" light on and beeping.  same for ride home. 



need a couple more cans of 409 foaming carpet scrub for floor and seats.
patched up PO holes in tub for rear shock bolts


im thinking i should check trans fluid, as thats the last one i havent serviced.
put an offer in on a front drive shaft Ebay, see where that goes.

more parts should be here tomorrow.
horn in op / missing




inspection list
horn
headlights hi / low
bank2sensor2 O2 dead / code
get monitors to set

[M4wdFab]

looks like these things are going for 12-15k in non shitbox condition.  should be good reseal next spring.

pulled cross member today to gain access to exhaust and O2 wiring i could not reach.

found O2 wiring had 2 broken wires, CAT was broken loose right at weld. 

hard top struts replace
welded up cat
installed new muffler, re welded tail pipe and broken hanger
repaired o2 wiring, scanner shows good voltage now
a few R/Rs of head light plugs seems to have fixed hi/low but one light is older and dimmer.  probably order 2 new lights and paste up the
connectors with e goo

chased and diagnosed entire horn system- all good except where the wheel switch pulls ground from- there is no ground on the wheel hub.  I think its a clock spring issue, as the wheel hub is not grounded where the horn switch pulls ground from to make horn signal.
