CONKLINATOR

Got it on eBay. Thanks for the quick reply, man!

Grille extension! Thank you! Rock auto?

I had my whole front end apart for months, and when I finally put it back together, I can’t find this one piece for the life of me. It’s like the end piece of the header panel. Anybody have one?

Looking for a set of stock height leaf springs. Would prefer metric ton, but they don’t have to be. I’m willing to drive some, but the closer to north eastern Maryland/Delaware the better.

Sending you a PM

Just got the new battery... They replaced it for free under the 3 year warranty. I didn't have my receipt, but they were able to look it up. I bought it in April of 2013... That's what I call winning!

Great suggestions... Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes after I get it going. I was going to work on it yesterday, but I think the battery is shot. I put it on a trickle charger 5 days ago, and it never went from "charge" to "store". Deka has a 72 month warranty, so I'm going to get it replaced today.

Hey guys! I've got an '88 pioneer that has been sitting for quite a while. It ran when I parked it about 3 years ago... 2 months later, my wife gave birth to our first kid, and the Jeep got pushed to the back burner. The time has finally come to get the old girl(Jeep, not wife) up and running again. I've put fresh oil and filter in it, filled the coolant, replaced plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor, put a whole bottle of sea foam in the tank, and topped it off with fresh gas. Just wondering if any of you have recommendations of other precautions I should take before turning that key for the first time. An older gentleman I know suggested spraying WD-40 in each cylinder, and turning the crank shaft with a wrench a few times to help the rings get lubricated and seal. Any and all tips or tricks will be very much appreciated!

The last piece I need for my 2WD to 4WD swap, is the front axle. I am probably going to end up with an HP 30, but if I could find a 44 cheap enough, that would be great. 3.73 gears to match the Ford 8.8 I already have would be preferred, but I can change out ring and pinion if needed. I'm in Fair Hill, MD and can pick up or meet within an hour or so.

This thing could use a paint job, but looks really clean. He claims no rust... Too bad my driveway is full, and wallet is empty... http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/4606989605.html

He updated the Craig's list ad... It now says, "no axles" but he shows axles in the pictures? If it includes the axles, it would be worth a grand, but it looks like a headache... http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3895234492.html

Sounds like its disassembled, but probably worth well over $1500 in parts... http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/3895234492.html

A little more from the same guy... Apparently it is not legal, but if it weren't acceptable to do, I'm sure Adams Jeep wouldn't be plastering their name on it... I say we get an MJ trail ride together...

Have any of you guys ever been to Trails Road in Delta, PA? It's right over the MD line not far from Harford and Cecil county. I've been wanting to check it out, but not 100% sure where it is. I don't know if it's legal or not, but if it's not legal, it definitely isn't enforced. I know people go all the time and never have issues. I am definitely not a fan of JK's, especially when they put big fancy rims on them, but here is a clip from Trails Rd.

I'm not sure if anything I have will be worthy of the PA Jeep show this year, but I am going to try to get there anyway, even if I end up driving the VW. I'm thinking the XJ will be pretty close to "done" by then, but I highly doubt either one of the MJ's will be ready. I have a lot of work to do, and not a lot of time to do it...

My bad ComancheKid... Just noticed the links in your signature. So just to be clear, you've got 3'' XJ AAL, 1.5'' XJ shackles, and 2'' rusty's coils? What size tire is that, and are your flares in the stock location? That's pretty much the look/size I'm going for, just with Bushwacker flares to fit the 32's

Where are you getting the shackle? An XJ lift really won't do much for an MJ since factory MJ shackles are much longer than XJ ones. Hmmmm... :idea: Would stock XJ shackles combined with an SOA setup get me the amount of lift I'm looking for? Would I run into clearance issues with the shorter shackle? You got pictures around here somewhere? My goal is to put on the 32's (275/75/16) I have sitting in the corner of my garage...

Where are you getting the shackle? An XJ lift really won't do much for an MJ since factory MJ shackles are much longer than XJ ones. Ugh... I'm starting to get a headache trying to figure out what parts I can swap over from the XJ to the MJ. Now it looks like I'm going to end up doing an SOA and a little more lift up front. I just got a call back from a guy selling a Ford 8.8 for my XJ, which means I'll have a Chrysler 8.25 laying around. As long as that doesn't fall through, I'll just be getting some new perches and shock mounts to put the 8.25 in the MJ...

:agree: Do you know something we don't about an upcoming apocalypse?

This thing is so freakin' badass... Subscribed! :bowdown:

Why not just get a proper MJ AAL and be done with it? They're about the same price as the XJ iirc Well I really liked the price of that XJ kit, but, in light of new developments, I may be going a different direction. How much lift will the S-10 main leaf add?

So even the full length AAL will only add about half the advertised lift? If my end goal is 3 inches of lift, a 3'' XJ AAL with a 1.5" shackle should sit nicely?

I am thinking about getting a budget lift from Quadratec, but they don't list anything as being compatible with an MJ. Will an XJ add-a-leaf work on an MJ? Here is the kit I was looking at: http://www.quadratec.com/products/76017_8100_07.htm

Switching back to the stock dummy light gauges so I can put the good gauges in the new MJ... At least I've got some help!

I definitely got a better deal on this one than my last one... Picked it up for $1500 bucks. The guy I got it from couldn't have been nicer. He is an older guy and has had it since 2004 and it has spent most of its time in his shed. He never even got it registered. He just used it to move stuff around his house/yard. He replaced the whole exhaust, and all the brake lines recently. The rear brake line still needed to be replaced, and he took care of it this week before I picked it up. The rear sings pretty loud, but I'm going to grab a Ford 8.8 d2 off my buddy anyway. The owner before him opened the drivers door and it got smashed off, so right now it is just tack welded in place and sags pretty badly, so that needs to be fixed. Valve cover gasket needs replaced, but he included a felpro gasket with the truck. Idles high at startup. I already bought a full tune up kit and throttle positioning sensor for my other MJ, but never installed it, so it will go on soon. I'm very pleased overall though. I'm really excited to start working on this one.
