    2008 JKU "Argenta" Build Thread

    Wow! What a trip. The pics are stunning. My office is plastered in Venetian art, both street painters and photos. Must have been awesome to be there this time of year.

    What windshield header is this?

    Yikes, PO's can be a lot of headaches. It is like archeology, you can see the methods of the different owners throughout the build. edit: is there any iron on material for a short time fix? Like the denim jean patches from the 70's??

    Just a thought or possible band aid. The barrs pellets do work. I used two pellets in my aluminum radiator that was leaking. It held for almost a month. If you do use them, best to do a flush while doing the repair...

    Water leak into driver's side floor board

    From your posts, it sounds like you are disappointed that a repair is needed. Keep in mind your Jeep is going to cost an enormous amount of money to maintain if you don't do 99% of the fixes and upkeep yourself. Leave the big stuff for the mechanic, like heads and transmissions. Do the...

    Are you seeing any water drip to the ground when idling and air on? If not, the water is going somewhere.

    Ohh, those knob things are so cool. I had a shimano shifter modified on my CJ. She had a 400hp SBC married to a SM-420. Like driving a high performance bus. I'll post a video of my son and I crawling and trying to use it.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I miss mine. The family outgrew it. It was a trailer queen too. The JK we can drive to the trails, it does 70+ with one hand. My TJ had a 5:1 atlas II and 4.56 gears, great for crawling but topped out at 55. Overall, the JK gets used more. It is always loaded for fun and gassed up. Maybe later...

    I’ve noticed that here in so cal too. I bought my JK last summer. The TJ would get stares more than waves. lol. One of my new JK buddies put a hand waving decal on their windshield because they were tired of waving. I was on the other forum as well. It had lots of info and solid content. This...

    Water leak into driver's side floor board

    Hopefully out after the block was cleared. A real problem is rust and corrosion if the water remains backed up. We had a expedition with dual air, the rear unit plugged for some reason. We did not notice the plug up and eventually it rotted a bunch of stuff very $$! after that, I regularly used...

    What did you do to your JK today?

    We should have a “how not to fix stuff” section. I replaced a three month old Dorman evap pump today. Found a Standard brand locally. The Dorman pump had an oring gasket, the new standard had a flat gasket. I could feel the seal was much better when I put it on. The persistent and ever faster...

    Ok, that is pretty cool. I see the machine tool marks making it grippy. Great use of space.
