Not today, but this past weekend:

Started the teardown to replace the harmonic balancer/pulley. Removed all idlers/tensioners for replacement. Discovered that my PS pump crapped the bed and took out my alternator pulley bearing (squeals like a SOB).

I'm going to toss the factory PS cooler and do the aftermarket air-liquid cooler mod and then have everything rebuilt by Turnone possibly or just buy replacements.

I'm the second owner (for about 2 months) and it has 68K on the clock and I'm just now getting around to discovering all the problems. I enjoy it though and it should drive much better once it's all back together.

Going to wash and tune it this weekend. Added some new Michelin rubber 19/18's since my other tires were looking weak. Hardly ever drive the 69 so it's about due.

Ebay has them. I think i got mine directly from energy suspension. $25shipped. For the rears they are universal jeep bump stops. I just trimmed the lip where the oem one sat then they bolt right up!
