Jeep Project II--2" Lift

Well the last of the major projects are done on the Jeep (for now lets hope). It was time for new treads before the winter hit, so I figured it was a good time to give the Jeep a little higher ride and some larger tires than before. Once again my bro Bryan came through and helped (basically did it) me put the lift on first, the next day I had the tires put on.
Here is the before pic:









For the technical pics on the work that was done, head on over to my Flickr for the details.
Here is the after pic:









I think it is pretty awesome. Now I just got to get it dirty.

Jeep Project Part I

Many of you know that I am your typical do-it-yourself'r. Basically we have a problem, refuse to pay a horrendous amount of money to fix it, and figure we can just fix the problem for less money, more work and the outcomes are always interesting.

The most recent Jeep project was for a blend door problem. And for those that own a Jeep Grand Cherokee years '99-'04, if you don't already know what I am talking about--you will. this problem is very common on these models. Jeep finally issued a safety bulletin and fixed it for the new Jeeps, but that doesn't do me any good.

Let me explain this issue as simple as possible and if anyone is dying to know the details I can tell you. To sum it up it means no heat on the passenger side. Now this is a real problem when temps drop and my wife is sitting in that seat. I knew that I would have to address this before the baby came. luckily for me, my brother Bryan is a genius when it comes to cars and even more of Jeeps and helped me tackle this. At this point I will let the pictures do all the talking. Let me just say that it took 12 hours, and about $170 bucks, and now I have heat. It was definitely worth it versus paying the dealer $1400!














The last picture is proof I put it all back together!

JEEEEEP!!!


For those that want to know another fact about me, its-I love Jeeps. I just always have. I have a lot of fun with them. Not only me but my family is a Jeep family. My brother Brad just sold his Jeep and just bought mine (<--- ) from me. Now I am on the prowl for another, and may have found just the ticket. I am going to see it tommorrow. Don't worry as if you all care, I will do a post for my new Jeep when I get it. LATEZ
