Ok, I'll join in.... I added more bumpstops and limiting straps now due to the damage below,,,,notice how the yoke was banging the inside of the UCA...the tab holding the u-joint popped and the u-joint slid out of place.

I play MOH, and BF2BC Vietnam on the Xbox, can't wait for BF3!

Well said sir, but you can never have too many MJs.

Very Cool.

I just wet myself....

Well said sir, but you can never have too many MJs.

Get a micrometer and do it just like I have pictured. Put the sleeve and grommets back in the MJ rod and measure, then put the sleeve and grommets in the WJ rod, measure, then slowly grind to match.

The flat spot on the pedal rod needs adjustment then. The measurement is important on this part, I think you need to grind a little more material off.

Way to go, glad you didn't give up on it! :wrench:

Cool read, thanks for posting up! :cheers:

We're going on over two months of zero rain, we need it in a bad way. Ranchers are selling off livestock by the ton because they can't afford to feed them anymore. Its seriously bad down here. Last time we had a summer this hot was 1980.

This is tempting.....emailed the guy, he's asking $750, not a driver though, needs work..... http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/2499206955.html "Make a good rebuilder has four wheel drive good body one dent right front headlight Has engine that needs to be connected and trimed out"

After watching that, I'd be concerned about the bed sides (it essentially has double outer panels) retaining water between them leaked from above or splashed from below, thus rusting away over time. Plus, beds are made to be bashed on, I wonder if its durable. Does look cool though.

Yup, got em in time but couldn't go for other reasons, darn it. I'm running 2 of them on 630 Watts and the ladies love it :yes: What's the dimensions on your box? I've got 1000w on two 6" component sets and 2x 12" Kickers in my ZJ, its so freakin loud I literally go deaf if I turn it up too long. I had MTX 10s in the MJ and they had the same effect given the small cab of the MJ but they sorta died on me. I think you're right, with the right box and a 600w amp, these things should rock the MJ....I need it loud anyway since I'm half deaf and I can't hear the radio anyway going down the highway....you know, 2/55 AC, loud tires and no headliner makes for a loud MJ, so I need a louder radio. Thanks for all the compliments guys! Its not too technical and almost all bolt on, I do what I can do. :cheers:

Amen! Testify! Go tell it on a mountain! Umm, yep! :cheers:

Yup, those things would have rode home with me! Now go back and get em! :wrench: Currently have 3 D44s sitting out back,,,,just need more MJs to put them in! Good job on your MJ, its coming along nicely! :cheers:

Added a few things, the Teraflex hand throttle. Which btw was a very complete kit and at 35 bucks was a complete steal considering where I live and gas prices. I should have routed the cable through the shifter boot and under the console, but I didn't even think about it until I had it done. I may change it later if it starts to get on my nerves. Also added the some ARB diff covers from Motion. I guess half the reason is cosmetic, they match the red truck but I do like the added protection considering what I've spent on gears and lockers. I view it as insurance protecting an investment. Got my skid back on too. I am starting to think about bypassing the rear proportioning valve....???? :dunno: Also picked up some Kicker dual voice coil CVR 10"s and put some coaxial 5 1/4" Kickers in the doors. I need to build a box for the two 10s in back, the boxes they're in are way too small. New radio will come one day.

They're loud but the noise isn't too bad. They're bias ply so if they're not fully aired up hard they'll wander a bit on the highway. I can still cruise at 70 and it's ok.

Good work man, keep it up!

Awesome job! I love this truck and hate that you have an A/C, I'm jealous. Its why I don't drive the MJ as much as I did.

Nice work buddy! I'm sure you're having a great time with it! :wrench:

Yep, better get the 44.

OK, got a reprieve from the heat today and got a little work done....it was only 101 today with a good breeze. :wrench: I've hated the sway set up I've had and ordered Teraflex high steer sway bar mounts. Took a long time to burn them onto the inner Cs with my 125 welder and I'll bet myself a 6 pack that they'll break off. I'll have to swing into a welding shop and have them add another good bead on them. Also under full compression the driver's side upper control arm was hitting the front D44 yoke and broke off the tab that centers the u-joint. I need to order another yoke but for now I just welded a big glob on it....maybe that will work. I also added another 3" of bumpstops to each side now there's 6" total, and also some 24" limiting straps. It took some fanangling with two jacks but I think I've finally got the suspension set up right with the bumpstops and limit straps. I should put some longer travel shocks on....anyway, here's a few more pics.... I've got one end of the limit strap bolted to the LCA, the other end I bolted to the inner frame with some 3/8" self tapping bolts. When I get longer shocks, I'll be able to move the straps around for more travel. You can see the old sway brackets on the bottom, they are now cut off and in the scrap pile. All done and sitting pretty. I also got my Teraflex hand throttle in, I'll get it on maybe tomorrow.

Locking hubs will probably make it onto my front 44 one day. I've been researching it and also came across Ten Factory, I'll probably go with them. From what I've read some guys do have problems with the Warn 5x4.5" kit and recommend the larger one also. Love the truck dude, I seriously need to follow your lead on the outer seals!!!! :wrench:
