Well i got my brake line in today so I changed all the brake lines on the rover then I replaced the rotors and pads as well as the front calipers and I replaced all my wheel hub bearings. Then I replaced my power steering pump.

 

Expensive day, good thing you did not pay labor

 

Yeah even with just parts it was about 700. But I want to keep it forever and this kind of stuff has to get done.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, list gets longer all the time, knock out 1 thing 3 more pop up

 

Yeah I want to do non essential stuff to the rig but the needs outweigh the wants.

 

I'm converting my AC compressor into On Board Air.
I had the AC Compressor and hoses from my parts truck so I cut off the fittings.

I cut the remaining portion of the hard lines off the fittings today. Tomorrow I'll drill and tap them for 1/4" NPT. My plan is very similar to Darkstar's first build.

One thing I needed to deal with was a tank of some sort for my Ashcroft lockers. I really didn't want a large tank because I would have to mount it either under the truck or in the cargo area and both were not ideal. I figured lots of guys run their air lockers off those tiny ARB pumps with tiny tanks so I set off to find a small tank.
Came across this on EBay. It's approximately 1/4 gallon. And it came with a regulator/filter and pressure switch.


Next step is to order fittings and 3/8" air brake line.

 

Pulled the power steering pump and mounting bracket off my parts truck and am finally getting the ball rolling on the Saginaw P series pump swap. Hopefully I'll get the pully pressed on the saginaw so I can take some measurements for what size spacers I need. Going to drill new holes in the PSC saginaw jeep bracket, weld the spacers the the bracket, weld the engine hook plate on the back side of the spacers and box the open areas between the spacers with plate to add some reinforcement. I'm going to try to take a good bit of pictures so other people can replicate it if they want.

 

That is a full day of work. Have a beer!

 

Drove to work in the snow!

Stupid snow!!

 

Got my LED's for my clock as well as all my interior lighting. Installed and looking pretty sweet.
