I liked the thread P started past few weeks so let's get er goin again...

Well last week I got a couple loose ends on my motor put back together.. there wasn't much to do just valve cover gasket and put intake back on. Hook up a ground and finish radiator install. Pulled the seats so I can paint the interior. Sunday night I painted the bed of my truck.

This week I'll be figuring out how the 14 bolt goes back together, kinda forgot since it was eons ago when Kelly and I took it apart. Also I'll be pulling apart my front end to install the new axle shafts and slugs. Try and work in more painting of the truck. Bet y'all can't guess the color.

what it be in yer garage?!

I have to do a few tings to finish mine. Bleed brakes, install tranny cooler, cut lexan kick panels, install side skins and hopefully get my seat covers to install those. I already filled the diffs last night so that is good.

It's a T-Max. It made a loud pop when i was pulling myself out of ditch. Then it wouldn't pull in cable. Motor works fine and all the planetarys are fine. What else could it be.

F-you, it's 8 below today and only getting worse and I have not ridden a motorcycle in 2 months. Yeah like I have motivation to do ****! Forks the the KTM are in, so I can go get them Saturday and get that back together for no other reason than to make vroom vroom noises :'(

I rode my bike last week! :flipoff1:

not today though, 32....too chilly for me..dont have cold weather riding gear.

I should be getting a few more parts in this week and prolly ordering some more. I am considering ordering one of those prefab cage kits for the cab so I can get that knocked out quickly. gotta research it a little more.

You look at the engage switch ? I know mine is bad about popping in and out , you know how easy they are to switch back and forth as well.. I wonder if yours just flat out broke. I havent taken one of these apart so Im not sure what or how they do what they do, but that is the one thing I hate most about my Tmax. .. :dunno:

Jeep CJ · Jan 14, 2009

Cleaned Jeep last night.
Plan is to Grease it tonight, replace steering stop bolts re tighten all bolts on transmission and transfer case since I got it all back in and rode it once.
Put washers on torque converter bolts.

When I put everything back together when I put my Jeep in drive it goes pop. It is notreal loud but did not do this before. I thought it may have been torque converter bolts but checked them several times and they are all tight. Everything works great just a pop when you put it in gear and really only does it in the low range. Sounds like it is coming from the front of the transmission. Anybody got any Ideas????

There is prolly a sun gear that is in the end of the end housing that a hex shaped shaft slides into. That might be stripped out. Or the shaft might be rounded. Check that and if you have any problems let me know.
