HKB3 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 After buying my first MJ in 2006 (a 1987 swb 4x4/4.0/5speed) I have wanted to build myself an all purpose truck. While I had my first MJ I was living in a place with only one parking space so I had to store it elsewhere which made it hard to find time to work on it. I ended up selling it about 3 years ago. Fast forward to this year, I picked up a 1992 swb/2wd/2.5 98% rust free. I have replaced the fuel tank and just getting started on some rust repair over the passenger rear wheel. Now that I have a garage I can work on it when ever I like. My plans for it are always changing, that is where "no direction" came from. For now I am planning on swapping in A/C, power windows & locks and a new fuse panel from an XJ. I already have a D300 and a home built flip kit for it. Stay tuned for updates but be warned this is going to be a slow build. The first MJ now sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKB3 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Made a little progress on the rust repair: I located a donor XJ but it is an auto but the price is good. I just need to decide donor XJ or a mig welder for home? It sucks to have to drag stuff all the way to my work to use their welder. I also picked up a Wagoneer D44 front axle. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKB3 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Slowly working at it, really holding off on any major disassembly until I have replacement parts. I made a small score at the pick&pull today I hope to have the new sheet metal fit and ready for weld tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKB3 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 Small update: Started getting the wagoneer front D44 ready for tear down, cleaning, axle truss, new shafts, locker, ect. "No Direction" has changed directions again after a few months on the back burner, it now will be getting a 5.3L/4L60e/231-D300 I may substitute the doubler for an stak or atlas...if I can get a winning lottery ticket or sell the doubler(when it is finished).

WiscoXJ Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 You sure you want to got the 4l60 direction? those trans' are pretty weak.. id stick with the AW4 if you have one. they make an adapter. The 5.3's are awesome though. bullet proof. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
