In the last couple days I did the inner and outer tie rods, complete UCA's, lower ball joints, idler arm, d/s axle oil seal, rear wheel seals and bearings, changed the fluid in the rear (obviously) and front diff., installed the new head unit ( a pioneer avh p1400 dvd receiver) and my old system, put 4 inch angled blocks in and some torsion keys then got it aligned. O and I got smaller tires very rewarding week!

I painted my bowtie black since I had the grille off to fix some projector related issues.

Did a tune up on the jimmy today, did not even have to take off the drivers tire to get the number 3 plug out, woo!

On a side note... I got AC delco plugs from rock auto.. all of them matched up but the number 1 plug wire, it was too short, not sure of why, but I looked really good at the old number 1 plug wire, and it was in great shape still, so I just used that one. next time just getting cap,rotor and plugs on rock auto, not wires just in case this happens again
its purring like a kitten now

also, another positive note, the old plugs looked great, no burning, nothing, just normal wear. happy about that.

Nope lol. But I do have some extremely thick bolts holding the hitch to the frame. Those bad boys are THICK.

Thursday and Friday I put some work into my '93 Jimmy. It got a new Delphi fuel pump, a new tank sender, new front pads and rotors, new distributor cap and rotor and some fresh AC-Delco spark plugs. It could use an alignment and a few other little details but overall it's in pretty darn good shape these days.
