Finally. I took a little time to work on the parts pile for the oL jug.
My wagon gear panels came about a month after we moved. So. They’ve been on the back burner.
Hit the jug with some shine-ola today and ripped the garage door gasket/dust shield off with the axe mount (mind you, it’s...
oL Milk Jug got itself a proper milk crate to park under now. Lean-To finished at LaRancho.
No more saggy ass. The Jug is sitting nice and level with 40 gallons of gas.
Cant say enough “thank yous” to all that helped. @wngrog especially.....for the grunt work, guidance, and posting. I suck.
But the oL milk jug is back home and I’ve put about 300 miles on it already. Gonna change that oil out soon.
AC charged. Haven’t driven the raptor Since, and that is...
I’m a bum. Havent been on here at all lately. New house and work both been whipping my ass.....I’m not a great picture taker, timeliner, before & after-er like @wngrog but you get the picture....
No updates other than no updates. All i do is drive this thing. It’s perfect......have some parts stashed waiting on other parts, and well, waiting on a couple bum vendors for some as well. Most of the stuff i have to tinker with can wait, as i have stashed my pile for now in preparation to...
Long drives are great....but sometimes you have to pee in a bottle and its easier with cruise.....or, a hand throttle to meet half way, and it can help on trails when some throttle is needed in uphill climbs when the brake and clutch is also called for....

$18.99 Amazon hood struts are a win. Stout.
Shop Cat #2 was on deck early while #1 decided to get up in a neighboring tree. He pointed out the hinge locations and I got it done in about :30 min. Had to drill 2 holes. Added rivnuts. ✌🏼
Tuffy console. Not as straightforward as thought. But i rethunked it all. Rivnuts. Dun. Doesn’t really touch floor in rear. Screw it. Left bracket on. ✌🏼
Took the oL milk jug up to canton to drop some stuff today, when i arrived i had spring a small coolant leak. Turnt out to be off of the splitter on top of the back part head, on the driver’s side that goes to the rear heater.
i took it easy back home and only lost a little coolant when i had...
Pretty sure the pulley would fit. But I didn’t want to remove it, and sell or keep as a spare.
I am pretty sure that the supplied brackets will fit, but i need to shim it forward a bit. It uses washers to do that. Will revisit. i left a message with them Saturday. They called me back...
Piddled around a bit more yesterday.
I have had some new window weather strip pieces for the doors and some of the @TRAIL TAILOR powdecoated door handles.
I like the dechromed look, so that was also part of the process when replacing the beat weather stripping. I have new rear and side...
After that I decided to pop in the new horn contact. Mine has only been working when the wheel was in one specific position.
I popped off the horn cover & the column cover and removed the steering wheel.
While I was in there, I cleaned up most of the old dust and crap that had built up since...
Piddling around this am, I decided to toss on my Quality Power one wire 140 amp alternator this am. It came with a supplied “J” bracket to fit over the OEM mount. Simple, right? Just one wire from the alternator to the battery. Seems legit.
I loosely fitted the brackets the way they are shown...
damn oL MilkJug started running poorly on Tuesday afternoon. It was mainly an idle issue. Wouldn’t stay running until warmed without the choke on, or throttle applied. After it would reach a decent temp, it would lope and have a rough idle. I did a little searching and realized that was a...
