It all counts

I adjusted the backlash in my steering after the install of the new (reman) box. It really sucks doing it yourself.

 

I cleaned off all the chalk after telling my 6year-old that the LR is not a chalkboard. He had even climbed on the roof and colored up there.

 

I did my bi-weekly leak check, and I decided (I think) on the new tires and roof rack I need for my summer trip through the forest service roads of the Cascades.

I also put all the parts in my cart I need for replacing the front cover gasket and oil seal, anticipating I will pull the trigger and commit a weekend soon to getting it done.

 

drove to work, at lunch going to get my codes read at advanced. Still waiting on my ELM327 bluetooth obdII adapter to arrive in the mail.

 

ok so I have replaced my o2's and the p1193 keeps coming back

 

Dropped my Rover off at the shop to have the steering/suspension/abs checked out for safety reasons. Should have a gruesome estimate tomorrow.

 

Oooh. I feel your pain. After doing the steering box and adjusting the backlash, the box is leaking like a sieve at the backlash adjustment and the locknut won't tighten. RockAuto is sending me a new one, but I have to pay shipping to send the piece of crap one back. The threads on the input shaft were my first clue it was a pile of turd. I should have returned it there.

 

Inflated the rear tires, both leak about 1 PSI per month at the beads, but I blame my rims. Bought a gas strut which I will weld to the toolbox on Friday.

 

I replaced the intake hose...

 

diff and TC service today. still waiting on my ELM327 bluetooth adapter so I can get that pesky 1193 code cleared. hopefully it wont come back this time.
