today has beset by disaster. Went to pick up our old dodge power wagon from inspection and it would NOT move under its own power. Automatic transmission was a few quarts down and will not move at all in forwards gears. Dragged it to a tranny shop 1/2 mile up the road on a strap.
Which brings me to the 1982 CJ8 jeep. I replaced the tail lights with LED ones. Well last night it blew a fuse on the way home. I spend most of the afternoon double checking my wiring and still found nothing wrong yet. It is a short somewhere in the the tail lights of wiring. To make matter worse, I lost some brake pedal, chased that down to a proportioning valve on the driver side frame rail, Leaking brake fluid everywhere. But wait it gets better, my frame is cracked on the inside of the frame rail just forward of the proportioning valve just behind the spring hanger. My current plan is to order a proportioning valve, then disassemble my brakes and have the frame rail welded up and plated at the same time that I was going to have the bad body mount done. Oh and the forecast is rain, darn it.
The 1981 CJ8, is running, the horn stopped working but otherwise.
The 1946, I chases wiring issues, shinned up some grounds and found out that my yellow top Optima is no longer taking a charge. sigh.
I am kind of afraid to touch the 2005 LJ, I really need to change the oil but everything I touched today is broken so far.
