I really haven't had any funds and time to do anything due to me still being in high school and I'm currently trying to find a job to fix the ol jeep up , there really isn't any updates on the truck only thing i Plan on doing to her is changing the oil this weekend with a wix oil filter of course !!!!

Saw a comanche with a chrome bumper at the jy hopefully I get the funds to get that too . It seems like I see all the nice stuff when's there's no funds [emoji53]

Also scored a chrome tailgate handle but my tailgate is all busted up and the old one won't slide out and I rather replace the tailgate with a good one once I get the funds to do so

Added some fog lamps just need to wire them up and I'm Giving it the chrome treatment. Replaced black front bumper with a chrome one Old

I'll be there !! Nice knowing I'm not the only mj owner in Vegas

My jeep next to the new cherokee (not mines )

Thanks a lot man , it means a lot :) just checked out your truck and it looks awesome !

Also scored a owners Manual from a 86 in the jy

Update small stuff , but Recently replaced starter , and got my jy domelights working a while back and got a different horn button and some chrome door handles and headlight surround and now my ignition key cylinder likes to turn without the key in , I love this truck too death but sometimes it makes my blood boil

Hey man try bending the little metal piece upwards so that it can touch the little wheel that's on the lens , sometimes it might touch and it'll work and other times it Won't so try bending it upwards so It can be together firmly and make good contact . It's the little wheel that's touching the metal piece in the pic above .

If your like me and you still have your original domelights in place and there not working and your to cheap to buy those fancy euromatics then here's a write up on how to clean the contacts on the dome light Before you start make sure you have current at the connector and the fuse and light switch is good before determining its the dome light itself that's not working . Step 1 Gently with much caution (this is really old plastic ) pry up the lens with a flat head screw driver or similar tool If you can use a thinner tool , mines was kinda big and if not careful it can break the plastic [emoji53] Clean the little wheel with a flathead or sand paper untill shiny for good contact Dirty Clean While I was at it , I also cleaned the surface the metal wheel touches and where the light bulb ends touch Dirty Clean Put bulb back in Put cover back on And now back in its place working All it took me was a flathead screwdriver and some patience , Hopefully this helped you guys :)

Probably because it never snows here in Vegas [emoji23]

I wanted to get new shoes but none were available locally , Instead I'm collect parts for a rear disc brake swap for the 44 :)

Turns out it was a spring that had broken into many pieces , I found a replacement set with new springs and the little studs

Took the drum off and this fell out ? Any clue on what it is ? Seems to go right here It has it on the other side

It started yesterday , I drive about 40 miles yesterday and after that drive I hear the sound , and I let the truck coast in neutral yesterday and I didn't notice any dragging , and i haven't been off road but thanks for your help ! Ill check the dust shield !

Sorry for bugging yall but my jeep has seemed to of had developed a new issue and I need help identifying what it is ): . It sounds sounds sorta like a brake lath or kinda like a hissing metal noise , it has the sound while driving , or while coasting in neutral. (Dana44 tracklok ) I took a vid of the noise while pushing the truck with the engine off . https://vimeo.com/115887193 Thanks in advance :)

Had my clutch slave cylinder go out so had to drop the trans to replace it :(

Yes , but I recently pulled the pump and the hose was split and was rotted so that's what caused the problem, decided to replace the fuel pump with a new Napa replacement while I was at it as "preventive maintenance " and all her powers back and she's running really good :)

Thanks I appreciate it ! And yea I got it from a junkyard cherokee and cleaned it up :)

Added some nice cherokee door panels and three spoke steering wheel. before After And the steering wheel too

Maybe he had a bad experience with the renix system [emoji53]

maybe , does the tank have to be completly empty to be dropped ? i have half a tank right now :doh: anyways thanks for all your help cruiser :thumbsup:

Actually you have a point about the hose , about 3 years ago the jeep had been sitting for a while and when my dad finally went and tried to start it it wouldn't start and he thought it was the fuel pump and when he finally got the fuel pump assembly out it turns out the hose had been dry rotted and iirc it was bent or something and wouldn't let gas flow or something like that , he ended up replacing the hose and that fixed the no start issue and the truck ran great .

I will and what brand pump do you recommend ?
