This is on the 87? It should be a 3 wire unless its been swapped to a wideband sensor controlled by a Nick in time designs REM. https://nickintimedesign.com/rem-wideband-converter/

yes, It had every piece for the rear door. I snoozed and waited on ordering the front door kit because Summit Racing had it in stock and I was spending too much money at once. Wouldn't you know that when I went to order it, it was out of stock everywhere. I ended up having to piece it all together and it cost an extra hundred bucks or so.

I did, the vent window had no effect on the rest of the seals. The fixed window seals don't look replaceable, but seem a lot less likely to leak that the opening vent. I wish that they sold replacements for the opening wing window.

The rear door fixed window came in the master kit. It uses similar channel to the roll up window.

I changed out every piece that I could find on my 89 XJ. The only seals that I could not find were The ones on the front a pillar and the wing window seals. I ended up changing to fixed front glass to eliminate the air leaks. The Precision website was helpful in determining the correct part numbers, even though I ordered most of it from Summit Racing. https://www.prp.com/product/?subcategory=Door-Weatherstrip-Kit&catname=Front-Door

Thanks. Yes, we have discovered that there is a lot more to see there than is readily apparent. We are currently returning from The Gambler 500 near Bend OR. While it is a really beautiful area, there is just so much traffic and so many people everywhere. It kind of tarnishes the experience.

I'm not sure why you'd want 3.07 gears with 30" tires, I think that 3.55 or 3.73 would be better? You could try looking at Randy's Ring and Pinion for the two applications and see if they take the same gear set, but new Ford Motorsport sets were pretty cheap the last time that I looked. You probably already know that the gears will need to be properly set up whether you buy a new set or a good used one. I'm not sure of the external differences for the Mustang 8.8 compared to the Explorer but I do know that some if not all Mustangs came with 28 spline axles, while the Explorer has 31.

I had the same problem with my slider back about 1995. I was logging and driving on rough roads everyday. The window seemed to become compromised and then I started getting cracks in the corners of the cab at the corners of the window. I went to a solid and welded up the cracks. I do miss having the slider for hot days.

Not much cell reception on most of the trip and I prefer it that way! We do carry a Garmin satellite communicator with us in case of an emergency. The crummy part about it is that it costs $12.00 per month for the service, weather you use it or not.

Thanks @Eagle! Yes, it works pretty well for us, I do need to finish the A/C conversion at some point, (I swapped in the A/C heater box and dash controls already). There is no need for AC at home, but we often miss it on trips. We actually came home 3 days early on this trip because 100+ temps were forecast. Thanks for watching!

Oh the XJ is around and probably would have made more sense to drive on this trip, since it's white and has A/C. But the MJ camping setup is dialed and so much easier. The XJ was down for paint for a few months, I think that I posted a picture somewhere. I think that we're going to head off in it to the Gambler 500 near Bend OR next weekend. Thanks for the support!

Ha ha, I took it to a car show complete with dust from the NV desert. We've got some restored classic cars, but ironically the MJ seems to get more attention at fuel stops and such, so I figured I'd pop up the tent and show it off. It was funny watching the people that completely ignored it VS the ones that gravitated straight to it

Thanks for watching! I do know why and we found many more the next day! It's part of the Fallon NV TOPGUN training base, there aren't any restrictions on visiting, no live munitions are used. It is located southeast of the city of Fallon, east of Reno in western Nevada. Since 1996, it has been home to the U.S. Navy-Fighter Weapons School (TOPGUN) taking over from the former NAS Miramar, California, and the surrounding area contains 240,000 acres (97,000 ha) of bombing and electronic warfare ranges.

Our latest Nevada Ghost towns and abandoned mines exploration video is up on YouTube. Man, there are some cool spots to explore in NV! It was also amazing to drive for hours and hours without seeing another soul! The MJ kicked @$$ on the 1550 mile trip. Thanks to all of you that have taken time to watch out videos!

looks good!

The old MJ took us on another 1500 mile adventure without any issues, so I'd say that it earned its keep!

Done! 😉

Alright, we made it home. We ended up rushing our trip because of a heat wave bringing up to 107 degree tempatures to locations on our route. In a black truck with no AC, it's not a fun time. The relaxed pace that we had planned evaporated and we were on a mad dash trying to see everything possible while losing 3 days of our trip. We found a steep and windy trail that lead to a remote cabin overlooking the Black Rock desert and awesome rock formations. From there we headed to Gerlach for more fuel and then on a 75 mile dirt road shortcut to Susanville CA. We found a nice creekside camp then got up early to get through Red Bluff CA before the projected 107 degree high. The little MJ traveled 1552 miles and over hundreds of miles of dirt and gravel roads without a complaint. We averaged 16.72 MPG and burned 92.75 gallons of fuel at a cost of $430. The only thing that happened to the truck was the tire carrier's pin sheared it's head off. It was quickly replaced with a spare bolt and we were on our way. Videos are coming soon if anyone is interested.

From Lovelock NV we headed to Tunnel Camp and Seven Troughs ghost towns. They were really cool. We also saw a herd of wild burros. The crazy thing about NV is that on most days we traveled for hours and hours without seeing another soul.

Well, we just drove the MJ on a 1550 mile Nevada ghost town and mine exploration trip. We saw one grey 2wd long bed in Winemucca NV, but were unable to snap a pic. You'll have to settle for a pic of mine 😁in the mountains overlooking the Black Rock Desert. I was surprised that we only saw 4 or 5 XJ's in the entire trip and I think only one in motion. I often see that many locally in my way to work and back. span widgetspan widget

The weird Thunder Mountain Monument by Rye Patch on HWY 80, the almost ghost town of Imlay and the Humboldt Ghost town. For some reason, the photos upload in no particular order.

Well we rolled out of camp at 6:00 AM today and checked into a vintage motel in Winnemucca NV at 6:30 PM. Of the 12-1/2 hours we probably spent around eight on the road and the rest hiking, exploring and having a Basque lunch at a legendary restaurant. We were going to try to camp at the Jumbo Mine, but 40-50 MPH winds convinced us otherwise. The road to it had a lot of elevation gain and switch backs, but the Comanche chugged right along. We also visited the Eureka Mine up a somewhat rough and washed out road. I believe that we traveled at least 150 miles on dirt roads today with speeds ranging from 5 MPH to 55 MPH, depending on conditions, most were on the faster side. There is a 100 degree or so heat wave coming and we've got to get to higher elevation before we die. We've done it before and the black MJ with no AC absolutely sucks. Despite my best attempt at heat insulating the floor, firewall and tunnel, radiant heat just keeps building to an intolerable level. A few pics from the day.

A few pieces of military equipment.

Dixie Valley NV is a weird spot. In 1995, the Navy basically forced homesteaders and ranchers to sell them their land so the area could be used for jet fighter training. Supposedly they flew dozens of subsonic low flights every day, blowing out windows and wearing the people down so they would sell. Many buildings were leveled, but some remain. There is old military equipment scattered over the area, both US and foreign as part of the training. Since it's all electronic with no live fire, the public is allowed in the area. It's weird, cool and creepy all at the same time. It kind of a shame as it's a beautiful place with spring water everywhere, surrounded by dry desert. We will have an upcoming video with more details, but here's a few pics from today.
