The $34 difference is your valve cover gasket won't leak within a couple months after installation.

Picked up a carb rebuild kit, Clymer manual and an oil filter. PO called me this morning and said he found the airbox and attaching hardware, but the hose that goes to the carb is cracked. I'll see what I can do with it for a temporary fix until I can find one. They cost about $35 from the dealer.

And I'm still missing a couple...

Thanks guys. Ordered a starter rebuild kit for a little under $30 shipped. Pulled the float bowl off of the carb and it looks surprisingly clean inside. Probably just going to get a float bowl gasket and maybe the float needle valve. Need to disassemble the thing and then get my ultrasonic cleaner back from my friend so I can get this thing cleaned up. Also need to find a service manual for the thing.

The carb definitely needs a good cleaning. The PO had removed the carb and did their best attempt at cleaning it, but it leaked fuel out of the rear of the carb after his "rebuild." Couple that with the various other problems it has and you get a frustrated owner and an angry wife telling him to junk it. It was the neighbor of a co-worker of mine and he informed me about it. I stopped by his neighbors house after work, introduced myself, and had the guy helping me load it in my MJ within 10 minutes. He wouldn't even accept two 20's for his help...nice guy. I've got the carb off and I want to get a rebuild kit for it, but am weary of the aftermarket ones out there so I may just replace the float bowl gasket and get a new float needle valve. I also pulled the starter and need new brushes - found this kit on e-bay for pretty cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/STARTER- ... 0498454034 Also noticed that a whole new starter isn't much more: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Starter- ... ccessories Can't believe how cheap this stuff is compared to automotive parts lol Also looks like the battery on this rig is pretty new and it still holds a charge so that's good! I'll take the petcock off next week and clean that out too and make sure the tank is clean. It sat under a pine tree for a while and there is sap all over it.

Fits in the back of the MJ pretty good:

Just picked this up. A little under 7100 miles on the odometer, 350cc, doesn't stay running, valves tap like crazy, muffler is shot, seat is destroyed, front bumper is broken, left rear tire is flat, right rear tire is full of plugs, and half of the plastics are falling off. The thing is beat to heck but when it comes with a price tag of FREE - it's hard to beat that. Current plans are to rebuild the card, get the thing to run right, adjust the valves, and then start piecing stuff together to get it back in usable condition. Pictures to follow.

There is one of these in yellow just down the street from my office. I see it/the owner all the time at the local deli during lunch. If you can believe it, it actually looks WORSE in person.

It's got a third lap belt, but don't expect it to be safe for the passenger sitting in the middle. You'll also want to look for an automatic with the shifter on the column if you plan on putting someone in the middle often.

Also, are you related to STERLING STINGER?

Supposedly sometime around mid-May. But if you've got 6/92, then that changes everything. Pictures!

Be happy that just the bolts broke off and it didn't get to this severity:

You certain that '01WJ has the 5.2L V8? The 5.2L and 5.9L V8 ZJ's were replaced by the 4.7L V8 in the '99 and newer WJ's.

Seems like most 4WD swap people want to go with the AX-15 over the AW4.

are you volunteering? :brows: it will be in the DIY forum though. Nope. Even though I could do it, I'm going to leave it to someone who has experience and will include the specific things that the non-experienced would miss. Things like pilot bushings, wiring for the TCU, driveshaft lengths, etc.

Hey, cool, another 1992 MJ Sport model in NJ :D What's up?

We need to make a '2WD to 4WD' thread stickied in the tech forum laying out the various options of doing this conversion. Pretty pictures included. Especially one of why a 2WD MJ/XJ trans can not simply have a transfer case bolted on to it.

Innovative and cost effective idea, but I'm looking for something that I can paint over once finished. I intend on doing the back of the cab and until I can get the carpeted panel to cover it, I don't want it to say ProtectoWrap all over :D

I've been throwing some ideas around to quiet my '92MJ down since it's a daily driver and it's pretty loud. The sound deadening under the carpet is long gone so I think that has something to do with it. How do you like this stuff? Worth the $$?

Got it. Thank you!

I have heard that you still need to bore out the inner diameter of the CJ bushing to get it to fit properly on the 92+ AX-15's. Can you confirm this?

no, just making use of the built-in forum features to embed a youtube video directly into a post rather than having to open a new window to view it.

They're all basically the same - not much of a learning curve required. Roof could get interesting, though.

Yea, I threw my iPhone in the fire because of the DST glitch. I now have a Droid on Verizon for work and an iPhone on AT&T as my personal phone. I love both operating systems, but for a smart phone platform where I need to access data quickly and get things done without any BS, I'll take the iPhone 9 times out of 10. I like my Droid because I love to tinker and customize and it's a lot easier to do so with the Android-OS. Oh, and AT&T is about 25% faster than Verizon in my area. Results are based on tethering speeds.
