Other pictures of Omega and Seattle/Snohomish: http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/04-Apr-05-seattle-mtns-omega/ Hopefully tomorrow my son and his friend will finish the lift on Omega... then I just need to find out which injector is misfiring... (notice the smoke in the pictures). After the engine fully warms up it's fine. Rebuilt injectors... one was initially making a lot of noise, but has gotten quieter... I think once the engine is run for a while it'll be ok. Need to fix the sending unit on the aux tank, come up with an air intake muffler, skid plates for the battery and filters, get down to centralia for my nerf bars and the rest of my parts, finish setting up the XJ console, need to get a GM a/c unit, brackets and hoses, then need to wire up the cruise, install the stereo... mount the inside spare tire... wire up the driving lights... fix the back up lights, the list goes on... :) but things are finally starting to work... No more worry about hitting the oil filter with the front driveshaft! http://wagoneers.com/fotos/2008/02-Feb-17-Omega-oil-mountains/ALL.html john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Apr 2008 21:02:34 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: [db] 3 out of 4 springs. :) have 3 out of 4 springs installed... 6 out of 8 glow plugs replaced... 4 out of 4 shocks replaced. :) jeep starts without a motor club, auxillary power source or hazardous chemicals... will need to drop the fuel tank skid plate to replace the last spring... also need to figure out which injector is bad, still making noise and white smoke... guess that's what I get for buying rebuilt injectors on ebay... john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #2714 **********************************
