Tj1

X2Also the tires, my mickeys were terrible and caused DW at low speeds.

Other fixed items that don't have photos are new hard fuel lines, soft and hard brake lines, new gas tank, CAD flip, new oil pan, all new wires from cab to the rear, drums/shoes/springs/cyliners, barnes 4x4 shock mounts, a couple sensors fuses and relays, upgraded harness for the headlights, ordered the autopal lenses, and much more to come. Still have to make the cowl hood, half doors, change the header panel, and add a center console. Slowly but surely I am just empting every pocket... as if my TJ wasnt costing me enough already!

Pulled the seats to prep for monstaliner. In the mean time I got to install the quick release fire extinguisher Made a lock ring tool for the gas tank, uni tasker tool but it doesn't take up much space. Drilled some holes for disconnect links The prop vavle in back was shot, so to jegs I went and routed a manual one in the cab. Incoming line through the firewall by the booster and the outgoing line through the upper part of the trans tunnel. No more ebrake till I install a hand one in the center.

I read dirteatr made his own tailgate handle, so I whipped one up. The wooden dowel and rusty brackets had to go. The old bumper was part 2x4 part 3x4 steel tubing. The wood was starting to rot away (wasnt even treated lumber!) so I ripped out the tubing and hacked it up....

I got some 2x6 tubing for rockers/sliders. Cut out what was left and stuck the tubing in. Welded 3/16" 1" round stock from frame to the slider. Cut some flat stock to tie in the fenders to sliders. There was a present under some bondo..... more rust! I learned I hate body work[emoji21] She got some new shoes! I ended calling interco and ordering direct, saved over $50 per tire versus ordering from 4wd or summit.

With front lifted I noticed that the rear drive shaft had only about 3/4" of splines in the tcase. So out with the old and in with the new! Local driveline company did a killer job My buddy has some spare xj parts so I grabbed some seats, hood, and doors (soon to be chipped in half doors). The one seats frame was rough and needed stitches. I didn't want sliders so I used some spare angle I had and made some brackets. No more driving around on a milk crate

Slowly I got to the front end. Shocks, coils, control arms, track bar, CA drop brackets.... Bolts to the shocks were stripped so I had hack them out. But everything installed looks nice!

She had no cat, O2 sensor, or muffler so thanks to Amazon primes shipping: new pipes! Now that the pans are in I can start the lift [emoji3] pulled the D35 out and slapped on the preches from ruff stuff brought it up about 5"

Next was the passenger side, which were not as bad, but RUSTED. I should remind everyone about fire safety and have an extinguisher at the ready.....

It has taken a while for me to gather parts, tools, time, more parts, and sometimes motivation. My Pioneer started its life in Ohio, then a short trip to the dealership in Michigan. The original owner had eventually given her to my aunt as a commuter. She cleaned his house and such. He had passed away and with no next of kin she held on it the jeep, letting it sit in their apple orcard for many years. At a family gathering I saw the comanche longing for some attention, and a couple of weeks later I took her to her new home. Unfortunately my living arrangements are poor when it comes to vehicle maintenance, so I had to rent a 10 x 15 storage unit. Its been super tight and most times difficult to wrench or fabricate. I just keep telling myself it'll be worth it. I started buying the parts for a Alexia based SOA lift before I even had the MJ. First thing on the to do list is to get the carpet out and expect the worst.... I didn't take any pictures of the before, the pan under the pedals were gone. I started hacking the top of the frame off and started plating off the rails. I bought the c2c pans, and the reviews are true. Lots of trimming and fitting are needed with theses.

I started fabbing mine up today Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

I just finished my sliders with 2x6. Took 3/16 round stock and welded the slider to frame. Turned out nice! just need to order my monstaliner.

That would be awesome!

Did you happen to get a picture of the inside of the housings? I have a pile of 18 gauge sheet and I'm going to attempt to make my own housings. I was wondering how they braced them or added gussets...

X2 on the cowl. Mine was letting water in from there.

Looking to delete my renix A/C anyone have an extra bypass bracket from a cherokee? Thanks

I have an 8.8 on my wrangler and have had a lot of issues with drive shaft/pinions/t case seals. Was hoping to stay away from any 8.8s on the manche build

Yea, its a 27 spline from a 94 xj. I've heard horror stories about D35s blowing apart in different ways. I think I'll buy it and hang on to it as a back up if my D35 ever goes.

I found a C8.25 with matching gears for $70. It'll need the brakes redone on it but I just redid the brakes on my D35 and was wondering if the shoes, cylinders, drums matched. I'd also have to order some new perches for my SOA. Is this a good deal for this axle and changing brakes/perches?

Running iron rock sway link brackets, moog links. Moog #K80244 IRO #10121. Link brackets add an inch on the 13 3/4 inch long links. I even drilled a hole at the end of the bottom bolt for a disconnect set up.

yanked out the buzzer module and issues are gone. thanks horn!

88 pioneer renix 4.0 Previous to putting new exhaust and oil pan in, didn't have any issue with buzzer or cluster lights. I would always leave the battery disconnected at the negative. Occasionally I would connect the battery and let the jeep run a bit. Since installing new exhaust and oil pan every time I connect the battery the key in ignition buzzer buzzes, blinker indicators are on, and check brake light is on. It doesn't matter if the motor is running or not. Any ideas? I never moved or removed any wiring during oil pan/exhaust install.

Just put a new pan on mine today, PO used jb weld to fix a hole.... Mine came off with little fight surprisingly. I ended up pulling the starter and one of the tranny cooling lines help with the removal and scrapping off old gasket.
