also good

nice! no crossmember?

there's a subforum just for those other projects

progress is progress. good to hear you're on the right path.

congrats! the 44 was offered outside of the metric ton package. there's a disk writeup in the link in my signature. your 8.25 lengthed driveshaft should work fine with it.

when you're back on the road, practice shifting without the pedal a bit. ya never know when it might come in handy.

not sure how I missed this but apparently Metallica did another concert with the San Fran orchestra last year. It's on Spotify so it looks like I've got a soundtrack for tomorrow's drive maybe if I had known about this sooner I'd have installed that subwoofer in the KJ last year instead of last month!

still a chance that it's the master. I drove my '90 home after losing all the clutch fluid inside of 10 minutes of leaving the guy's house that sold it to me. thankfully it was a cheap truck and I knew how to drive the hard way. I's also driven an extended period of time being stuck in 3rd gear after the peugeot in my 88 blew up. where there's a will, there's a way with the old technology.

honestly with a little practice you can drive it without the clutch. put it in first, start cranking and the truck will start lurching forward under the power of the starter motor and eventually catch and you drive off. after that you just need to match engine rpm and you can shift into the gears without the clutch pedal. the big problem is if you come to a stop, you need to shut off the engine and start the process again to get rolling. It's a pain, but will work in a pinch if you're in a place with few stops.

if it moves fine through the gears with the engine off, than it's likely clutch related. the clutch reservoir is in the engine bay right next to the brake booster. I think it's a push and twist cap.

I had that a couple times with the old peugeot. not fun. does it struggle if the engine is off too?

true, but parts can be replaced so you don't know without checking. I was told repeatedly that a 2000 TJ wouldn't have a bleeder screw and yet, there it was.

does it have thickness that protrudes into the engine bay? if so, how much of the hood bracing might need to be cut?

what are the dimension of it?

so far so good!

edited to reflect what codes we know were reused by chrysler

which wiring system are you using?

yes, apparently it's a challenge for some people. title changed

maaaaaaaan all I found in mine was a couple fuses and faded out gas receipts.

hard to get a better turning radius in a 4wd with a frame than a wrangler

that is cool. but not something I need in Georgia.

bed looks fixable to me.

the water pipe exhaust disagrees.

I would have thought that too so I guess it's nothing. they do list the 44 though
