Drahcir495

I can't imagine that being a problem.

Ask and it will happen! Thanks :???: :cheers:

Wow, this is awesome. Never seen it before. Anyway we can get it moved to the DIY section :dunno:

I think painting it silver is a good idea. If you look on page 1 of BLHTAZ's build-up thread here-> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9606&st=0&sk=t&sd=a, he did the same thing. It really looks good IMHO :cheers:

:rotfl2: "and i am not an indian" :huh???: :rotf:

I got it and it is awesome . Thanks BLHTAZ :thumbsup: It was packed well - Rich

For another time then :cheers:

I am very excited about the price too. They are in Dewey, Az.

Amazing :???: . Can you let us in on it Gob's, being like a father and all to him :brows:

Looks good! Do you ever get out to any of the local offroad clubs' meet and greets? I would love to see your MJ in person :cheers: - Rich

:waving: My idea is for your brother to start off with a 4.5'' lift, some 33'' tires, and at least one Aussie like I did :clapping: Then move up to 37'' tires and two Aussies - one for the front and one for the back seat -they jump around a lot :brows:

ProtoFab is going to make Rock Rails for the MJ! ProtoFab is having a pre-order special on all newly engineered MJ Rock Rails. It’s finally going to happen – for real this time. I just need to get a few commitments on rails and we are in. I think all the hounding has paid off because Mike agreed that if I could get a few more buyers lined up for a pre-order - they’re a done deal. I have been on his arse for a long time now and I think he is happy to do anything to get me from stalking him weekly by phone and email. The good news is I did a little negotiating for us too. If I can get a commitment for an order of 4 or more MJ Rock Rails, ProtoFab will give us a pre-order special of $270.00 a set! That pricing is for either the Long Wheel Base trucks, or the Short wheel base versions – we are all covered. I have posted this on a few other Forums that I belong to in order to guarantee that we can meet the minimum requirement. So who is in on this? I can attest to the quality of this company’s product, these are not going to be a piece of steel stock with legs for support. ProtoFab ROCK RAILS are made from CNC cut .140 formed cold rolled steel and 2''x .120 formed tube. These rock rails offer the same protection and modern design as his Cherokee Rock Rails, but re-engineered to work on the unique sub frame construction of the MJ. I have posted a few pictures of ProtoFab’s XJ Rock Rails, but more design and installation pictures can be found on his web site here -> http://www.protofab4x4.com/products.php?ID=00&ID2=9 The ProtoFab Rock Rails-> Rock Rails -> He is also supposed to update his website with the ProtoFab rear MJ bumper information. For those of you who have not seen his MJ Rear Bumper -> More pictures of the rear bumper can be seen on my build-up page on Comanche Club Forums here -> Drahcir495's Build-Up Please let me know if you interested in getting in on this deal – or contact Mike at ProtoFab directly @ Phone - 928-632-0216 Email - protofab1@yahoo.com Website - http://www.protofab4x4.com/products.php?ID=05

I enjoyed reading your progress :thumbsup: . "It turns out that a mixture of cow manure and dirt has properties similar to JB weld when applied to car parts." :rotf:

Front and rear winches - niiice :chillin: Much better with the bigger pictures :thumbsup:

Jesse, Welcome to the club :cheers: . Very nice work on the 89. Did you do the seats yourself? They look brand new - better than

What am I missing here :hmm: :dunno: :huh???: You went from a pretty straight looking MJ here -> To looking like you drove it through a narrow alley here - WTF Over :???:

Wow, better than I had hoped! Very very nice :cheers:

I just upgraded my headlight harness on page 12 of my build-up page here -> viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8051&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=165=. I am just waiting to buy the new H4 conversion bulbs and housings. You can't go wrong with Go-Jeep's write-up. It was a simple upgrade and suggest you give it a try. - Rich

:banana: :clapping: Tell him to start here -> http://www.cj-8.com/forum/. They are going to freak out obout the $50 over there. Nice group of people, so don't tell them I sent ya :brows:

I just dropped the CC name and a few pictures there. Don't think I will be back because of the rep they have :shake: .

Look What BLHTAZ Did For Me Image Not Found BLHTAZ was kind enough to take one of my wheeling pictures and clean it up for me. Then he was able to turn the picture into a clock :thumbsup: . I can't explain it, so it has to be magic :clapping: . I am already thirilled with the screen shot! So in a week or two I will have a new clock on my wall.

:agree: grounds are an important first step. I found that most of my electrical problems were because of the fuses & fuse block. I had some of the same gauge issues that you are experiencing. Be sure to clean as many ground contact points you can find. It is also a good idea to invest in some dialectic grease. Then I would lube up all the clips in the fuse box and replaced all the fuses -that fixed 85% of my problems. My brake light problem required a bit more than dialectic grease - that was a broken clip in the fuse block :fs1: . Never had the problem with the speedo that you are having, so just be sure that is indeed attached at both ends ;) . Good luck :cheers:

I never understood why these guys just hack and tap to solve their problems?? Bear - I found that most of my electrical problems were because of the fuses & fuse block. I had some of the same gauge issues that you are experiencing. After I cleaned up some of the bad slices it stopped blowing fuses. Be sure to clean as many ground contact points you can find – got my under dash lights after cleaning and greasing a few grounds. It is also a good idea to invest in some dialectic grease. Next I would lube up all the clips in the fuse box and replaced all the fuses. By doing just that I fixed 85% of my problems, but still no brake light - that was a clip in the fuse block :fs1: . Never had the problem with the speedo that you are having, so just be sure that is indeed attached at both ends ;) . I am just happy the brake lights work now and 98% of everything else! Clock still won't work :dunno:

Wow BLHTAZ - that is really nice! Thanks man :cheers: How do you think that would look on my clock?

At some point over the last 2 years – or maybe I never had them :???: – I lost power to my rear break lights. I discovered the problem after Bwatsoncj and I finished the lift last year. I was not driving it at the time, so I was able to push the project off for a later date. The lights would come one when I turn on the headlights, just not when I pressed the break pedal – you can see where that could be a problem. The PO sliced into the pink wire attached to the brake switch with a hot wire cut from a connector end – this will no doubt be a source for headaches in my future. I redid the connection – tested and nothing. Got a new switch and that did not work. Figured it could be the butchered wiring for the trailer lights. Some of the tail light wiring had been piggy backed onto to supply power to god knows what – just a wiring mess. I removed the old spliced in trailer light harness and fixed the old splices with solder and shrink tubing. Still no tail lights :fs1: . I had Bwatsoncj come over to give an outside opinion before I did something drastic. He thought it was the fuse block. Several of the fuse clips were broken inside the fuse block – just great! I figured I try to take one apart at the P-N-P to get an idea of if anything can be done. You can see a few of the broken clips in my fuse block -> I found an XJ in the lot that had most of the extraction work done for me. I ended up just clipping and pulling out as many retaining fuse clips as I could. The clips removed from the donor fuse block -> I got it all back home and removed what pieces were not going to be used. I set up camp in the floorboard of the MJ and began to make some repairs. I ended up replacing a half dozen or so clips. I was not easy soldering the clips in such a tight space – it sucked. Got it done and the tail lights work now :dunno:
