Well the PS Pump has turned up but due to having to work this weekend I am cheating and dropping the WJ off with my brother so he can install it for me and make sure its all working good and propper before the Summer Camp Saturday  :great:

 

So all being well the WJ will be driveable again and we can look forward to some glorious mud on the  23rd July.

 

Oh, I must admit, I still haven't wired the lights  :oops: I will try to get them done next weekend though so it's all working for Summer Camp. If not some one can  :slap: sort me out LOL

Not gone entirely to plan  :grrrrrr: The pulley from the old one had to be taken off and pushed onto the new pump. The only problem is as he tried to pull it off with his pullers the Plastic wheel separated from the metal collar...........

Now got to wait for a new pulley to turn up gggrrrrr  :diablo:

Well I haven't updated this for a while  :gasp:

 

The Hydraulic fan is now sorted. Seems that it now works properly and is on most of the time, well as soon as the engine is up to temp, The fan kicks in and sounds like a ruddy jet fighter under the bonnet. Not sure i actually like it but hey ho, it how it was designed i guess.

 

Today i spent a few hours finishing of the wiring for the spot lights, so now we have the light bar and the spots all working, typical bloke, fitted em in June and never got around to wiring them up LOL

 

No other changes to be fair. Just the lights in time for the darker nights now.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys greatly appreciated.

 

I dont think there is much left to do now really (Famous last words) to take it any further would require a lot of financial outlay, would rather save up for a JK to build to be fair at this point. But, never say never LOL

 

Just got to get out and use it now  :happy:

Well the original Exhaust finally gave up the ghost with the box blowing so it was time to replace.

 

I ordered a Cybox Stainless Cat-Back system and it arrived in 4 days, not too shabby.

 

Fitted yesterday with the help of my brother. I will say this though, if you buy a Cybox make sure they send the right one. The new box wouldn't fit to the existing pipe. The pipe wasn't swaged enough to be able to fit onto the Y pipe. So seeing as i needed the car we did the next best thing and welded to two sections together. It helps to have a top class welder in the family LOL

 

The new exhaust allows the car to sound like a V8 at last  :great:Only trouble is i think on a long journey the drone will get to me, just have to wait and see.
