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:

:yes: :agree: . Like MiNiB said, the MJ is not what I had pictured.

Awesome stuff :thumbsup: I have to add that to my bucket list for sure. Wheel in the snow!

That was first station. That is my Idol. One of the few that i can't get enough of. I would like to have everyone of his albums (yes Albums not CDs i got all of those) I collect records but I'm picky with who and what i buy. Cole There is a book store in my area called the Blue Moon and in high screwl a buddy dragged me to artist meet-n-greet for the school newspaper. It was Johnny Cash and I had no idea who this guy was :shake:. I will never forget the look on his face when a kid with Downs Syndrome locked a low tight hug on him - :eek: . After the 3 minute embrace, Mr. Cash had a second first when my buddy handed him a Philips screwdriver to engrave his John Hancock into his guitar. Johnny shook his head and muttered "perfectly good guitar."

I did not realize how many there were either - until Sir Sam posted this cool thread :thumbsup:

I couldn't read that second part of that - so I fixed it for ya :thumbsup:

Thats a lot of swine :eek:

IIRC, it was a prime time show. It was the best - PIGS IN SPACE! :cheers:

Yeah possum, it is by the Withlachoochee river! You need to remind mjeff87 that the toothbrush was invented in Lecanto :smart: . If it was invented anywhere else, they would have called it the "teethbrush." Tap tap tap - is this thing on?

Wil, that's right, forgot his name. Good honest guy to work with. I've used the Osrams in the Benz's, in fact they are the OEM bulbs, but not the "xenons". The Osrams didn't last nearly as long as the IPF stuff in my experience. But they will work just fine, as long as they are not the ghay blue ones. So you're going with the Hella E-codes Rich? If so, good choice. :cheers: No blue lights for me! Yeah, I believe I am following your lead on this one :cheers: . Thanks for your help - Rich

:cheers: :rotfl2: :jump:

Done. Let us know if you need anything - Rich

I just got an email from Wil at Rally Lights. His suggestion for the H4 is to use the "85/80w Osram hyper bulbs. Part # CP64206 is a xenon white bulb, without the blue. They have the highest lumen (light) output of any H4 bulb we have." I will be going with his suggestion. Build your own - it's easy. I have a write-up for it on my Build-up page :waving: . - Rich

That is a crazy tree :nuts:, but indeed cool. Silly Northerner, Gators don't eat spare tires :yes: .

:rotfl2: he would only be an appetizer. I think I heard an adult alligator Monday night while I was broken down in the middle of nowhere with the Ford. I was hanging out by a swamp and heard an ungodly bellowing noise :eek: - I sat in the car.
