Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Pee-con , pee-can, or pah-con, let the voters decide!

Love those Pliers. Think I’m up to 3 pair now. Quality

 

I had to look up those pliers. They look nice!

Also, fun fact! Knipex is pronounced with the N and has a short I vowel sound.

 

Good morning shop crew, looks like we survived thanksgiving. Hope your Black Friday is a safe, great and blessed one.

Only language needed.

 

Money won't buy happiness -- but it sure takes the sting out of being poor.

 

What about the 'K'?

 

The guy beating them with a board is the final insult.

 

After however long since I first brought it up, I finally bought a new jack today.

 

@Fargo Taco bee like...

 

Well, this doesn't look so good.




Now what am I supposed to do...



Hey, this is looking less bad.



The axle flange is fairly large, tight fit to work on.



New shoes, hardware, self adjuster, wheel cylinder + some stainless bolts to hold it on, finished off with a pre-bent stainless brake line.



On to repeat on the other side.

 

Did you take stuff apart on the first pic? the previous owner had to changed shoes and springs at some point? Or was it original?


Still looks better than Toyota frame after 3years up north

 

Looks like you got there just in time!!!

Didja get new drums too?

 

This is on my 98 XJ Cherokee, we have had it since 2001. It was my daily untill I got the old van and has mostly sat around since.

It wouldn't pass inspection due to the rocker panels.

The rust ridge on the inside of the drum is what knocked the lining off the brake shoe.

I blasted & painted the drums, still ok to use and look nice for a while - see how the paint holds up.

Wife wanted new Christmas decor, we got some solar powered Christmas lights, and she drew up a grinch for me to cut out. She's gonna paint it then I'll throw a few coats of poly on it.

 

She says that's all for today
