Yeah, because I was going to say that was the most impressive conversation I’ve ever seen. I really like that truck Pete

It was presented as a Cherokee conversion on the two door Cherokee forum. And something does not look right behind the pillar vents? Too cut off, but could be the picture.

Speedometer Fluctuations
Drahcir495 replied to j_gevans's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
I have a similar but stranger issue and here is what kinda worked for my 1990. I lube the cable and did not help. Checked the Speedo cable routing and that was fine. I backed off the connection to the transfercase and that definitely helped. Still only accurate up to 35 mpg with a little fluctuations until 40. Ask all the questions you want here. We have all have needed answers at one point or another -
This must have been a terrifying event. Stay positive and do exactly what the doctors tell you. Glad you’re still posting and easing your way back Into the swing of things. Anything you need just holler out. 👍🏻

Interior colors/paint
Drahcir495 replied to eaglescout526's topic in MJ Tech: DIY Projects and Write-Ups
I have an 89 with the blue interior. I guess it has the navy interior from the list. I used the SEM 15043 Shadow Blue. Great color match. -

I was cleaning out the garage this weekend and I came across stuff I did not know I had IAC new in box -> Temp sensor-> I had to look up in the numbers on the Advanced Auto website to figure out what Jeep they were for? They turned out to be for the 1990 XJ -

Owe! I can only imagine how bad that must have hurt. Glad to hear it was not worse. It is unbelievable what is going on. If I was forced to stay home during this, I would catch myself thinking the same thing about projects with friends. -

Right! A couple of times I did think would I be able to scream loud enough to wake up anybody in the house when I got pinned between the hoist and bumper. -

I really don’t think I can juggle any more build up threads right now, so I am gong to toss in here a little bit of my other project. Besides, it doesn’t need much done to it to warrant its own thread. I am down to 4 jeeps from my previous 6 . I have a 84 CJ8 and an a 1982 Jamboree CJ7 in the garage and one has to go. So the scrambler won out as staying. Here is what I woke up to when I opened the garage-> Got the Scrambler pushed out and everything blocking the front of the Jamboree out of the way. Then I got a little side tracked and decided to quickly put the new fender flares on the Scrambler. It took more time to get these on then it did getting the motor out of the CJ7. They are a fantastic fit, so it was well worth it. The new Scrambler specific replacement flares-> Came with hardware-> The originals are toast-> Tada -> I really had a late start on the motor switch after getting these on. Only thing I need to get the 8 running is a sbc motor. Just going to use the one out of the CJ7. The self explanatory progress-> Get the engine hoist ready to go and the hydraulic ram is dead . Had to go to Harbor Freight to pick up a new one. Not happy about that, but got it up and running-> Probably would have been a better idea to have help, but I can’t get less than 6 feet from someone else 😷. Yeah pretty much on lock down here. Now it is 11pm and I got what I wanted to get accomplished for the day. I will be out there early in the morning to get the Scrambler put back together and work on organizing the garage -
Definitely less calls. Only had one today vs 10. I love messing with them to waste their time!

Now this is a company that stands behind their led lights - Nilight. Some how water was getting behind the lens in one of the lights mounted on front of the Jeep. I learned that if I took a side off the housing the condensation would evaporate. I waited to long to figure this out and the lens got discolored -> I know that I shouldn’t have had to deal with this to begin with. It’s really not as bad as it looks, and that’s why I waited. I thought I should at least ask if this is something that is warrantied. I found their contact info and sent them out an email with a picture of the light and a snapshot of the Amazon purchase page. No problem, they are sending out a replacement. Not sure yet if that’s a pair or not? So, I decided to see how they would look somewhere on the roof rack. The looked really good zip tied against the back of the rack here -> Now that I know they stand behind their products, I ordered some light mounts that clamp over the bars on almost any diameter tubes -> I was able to get them very close to the back where I would have liked them to be -> Perfect fit and angle without being hit with the hatch when it’s opened -> I swear that I had these two water containers for at least 12 years in the garage. I almost gave them away a few months back. I strapped and zip tied them into the roof rack -> I think the whole set up looks very nice and especially since I wasn’t going to get the rack from LKQ in the first place - glad I did. I don’t think I am adding any 4” light to the sides . It may be too much. I did put a CJ tire on the roof rack to impress my son and immediately took it off when he wasn’t looking. It was actually hard to get it down lol -> TBC
