What's the best process for peening a weld? Just hitting it with a hammer? And should I get hi-nickel wire?
yeah just hit it with a ball peen hammer
90% chance its cast steel, weld it like you would any other steel and you will be fine, like creighton said a little preheat wouldnt hurt

For some reason that doesn't work. It clears it but 15 seconds later it Pops back up
Im planning on swapping in 4.5in springs and selling the 5.5inchers. What will i have to adjust after i do the swap? Track bar? Control arms? Never done this before...
For one inch I doubt there is much you have to do. IIRC you have radius arms with adjustable top links? Your best bet would be to take it to an alignment shop and have them adjust the caster. Trac bar should be fine.Quote:

Honestly are 1 inch different springs going to matter? Are they different rates and did you find smaller tires?
I still have 33's
Since I don't have the cash for new tires I'm looking for a straight trade. I've found a couple of guys so that won't be a big deal. As far as the springs I'm trying to go to 4in to accommodate my future wife. My springs sit at 6in anyways so I figured goin to 4 wouldn't be hard. It's just a matter of finding them.Quote:

The springs limit bump travel? adjust the bump stops or the mounting location of the shocks
I just need to get down there and fiddle**** with it.
Anyone know where I can get this stuff in person and save the $15 on shipping?

I checked tractor supply and west marine on-line with no luck. Thanks.
i've never seen that stuff for sale in person
centerville radiator cleans and repairs and paints for 50 bucks, then calls you when its time to pick it up.
Didn't know that shops were that affordable. Anyone know of any places in the B/CS area? Don't really want to drag it all the way back up to Dallas and then back down.
I was surprised it was that cheap.
Siegert Radiator in Bryan does a bunch of work for A&M, all heavy truck **** though. Light vehicle radiators usually arent work dicking with.
ive had siegert replace tanks, clean out radiators, fix leaks and move water knecks all for reasonable prices on regular vehicle radiators
I've bought radiators online for $100 with shipping. A few years ago though.
we're talking fruel tanks
What size tank does your Jeep have? If it's a 15-gallon I know where you could probably get a new metal tank for not much more than that.Quote:

there is a place in houston i used to use to redo tanks.... can't remember their name. aren't you glad i posted. they did great work cheap.....
how many of your projects have we not heard about? you seem to have had a lot of unaccounted work done.
