    Google wallet was release in an APK file friday night with the ability to download google wallet. I downloaded it and it works great!

    I was at the Verizon store today looking at it. Very tempting. Let us know how you like it.


    So far I'm very impressed. I've been a die hard google-android-chromebook fan for a long time.


    I'm NOT impressed with the limitation imposed by verizon to not allow google wallet, and I'd have to root in order to get it. I'll be patient and wait to see if "Isis" does anything.

  • Shifter problem?

    Today I went to get in my Jeep and pulled the shifter down and it will not engage into drive. It's an automagical. It drove fine just a few minutes prior.



    It is in park. I took apart the center console and it appears to be working fine, and I found a black cable that looks like it goes under the dash. It's a little dark out to be searching through stuff, so in the morning I'll attack it.



    I have a feeling this might help me? http://www.jeepforum.com/forum…atic-transmission-809933/



    Any guidance on where to look would be helpful?

  • looking for tire suggestions

    Costco will not put them on your vehicle unless they are the stock size. You'd have to bring the rims to them, they won't put them on lifted Jeeps.


    At least thats the policy they had when I worked there.

  • What was I thinking?

    I put the Jeep up for sale....had a bit of interest in a couple weeks. Had actually a prospective buyer test drive it. He didn't buy it at the time.



    I just can't do it. Just a little TLC and it's got no problems. I'll get my act together and get it done. :shrug: I mean I did just drive to OHIO to get an axle. Seriously....what was I thinking?



    Thanks to those of you who talked me out of it. :laughing:

  • Cam bolts TJ

    Somehow in the install a cam bolt washer (that looks kind of like a G) not installed on the drivers side of the Jeep on the lower control arm.



    I'm going to order these --http://www.quadratec.com/products/16315_6504.htm -- but I need to know some info.



    Right now if I back up and hit the brake hard you can hear the left front shift a bit and make a little pop. I'm going to guess it's because there is no cam bolt there. If its not this than I imagine the next thing to check is the front lower control arm bushing.



    If I need to install this, can I just unscrew the nut that is on the control arm, put in the cam bolt washer and then tighten the nut back up? Or I do I have to worry about re-aligning and such?

  • tj accident flipped on side and spun around 2/4/11

    Heh, no kidding.


    Remember the EMT in the bright yellow coat that walked up first thing and denied you getting you out of your Jeep causing you to get your roof cut off.


    That was me.

    I left just after the other crews got there. Don't know if you remember my comment about basically apoligizing your hard top was probably gonna have to be cut and I knew they weren't cheap. I tried to convice the FD to not. Guess it didn't work.....


    I'll PM you. Heh....

  • 100,000 miles....should've never said anything (with pics page 3!)


    Thanks.


    100,000 and she is starting to show her wear. I just made the final payment a few weeks ago. How ironic, final payment and it was on jack stands.


    Got silly stuff like the door handle won't open from the inside and other things. She needs some TLC.

    Quote from whatevah


    It took us a whole day to get the D35 out thanks to all the nasty bolts. But we soaked them in pb blaster as soon as we removed them so they were wet all night long. Installing the D44 only took 4 hours including fighting with the frozen driveshaft and bleeding the brakes with the exception of the trackbar and tightening the shock bolts. Oh and the swaybar mount bolts wouldn't thread in all the way, no idea why. Stopped about half-way in.



    out of another TJ. I think 2005?


    Thats what he told me, with less than 50K on the odometer.


    I was able to get the track bar relocation mount back on today. After multiple attempts of installing the new track bar the thing just wouldn't go in the pocket. So I heated it up and bent it out. Then.....I was able to install the track bar relocation bracket.


    I did a woopsies to the JKS track bar I bought. Gotta fix the threads on it. :woops:


    Its rolling right now. Still not sure of its reliability yet, being an extremely paranoid individual. I drove it from the garage to my house, about 9 miles seemed okay.


    On that note, where is the blower motor resistor at? Heat only works on full blast...need to replace it? Where can I get one?

    So heres a little update....


    Earlier last week I drove to Ohio and back, 16 hours, to pick up this D44. Got a pretty good deal on it.


    Got home and it took Whatevah and I almost 2 days to put this thing in. We had a lot of trouble with bolts that were seized, and we didnt have air 't have air tools but we did have a power impact gun.


    At that point I had to buy a new track bar because the bracket wouldn't line up. So a quick trip to Q-tec solved that and a new track bar and some shock brackets.


    Today I wasn't successful on putting in the track bar. The bracket was bent in when we where banging on it, so tomorrow I'm going to have to heat up the metal and bend it out.


    Sooner or later I'll get it on the road again!
