I'm officially jealous. Damn.

You can get 5 JK take-offs around here, tires on rims, for around $400 a set on CL or FB. Typically 2000-3000 miles on Bridgestone Duelers or Goodyear Wranglers is what you see available.

The issue is the glass is specific to the MJ factory three window rear slider. Each of the three panes is unique and no longer made. I have plexiglass in the driver side pane on my 92's factory slider. To correct, I've obtained a second factory slider with good glass (but a marginal frame), and will be using the driver pane from that to correct my issue. I haven't done it yet, but that's my repair solution.

Congratulations! He looks just like his dad. Jeep shirt and all.

I was thining of tracing what I have to save the specs before removal, then to have a local shop measure the tracings and reproduce the graphics when the time comes. I've got the no longer available 91 pioneer stripe package and looking to do something similar (but custom) after paint.

Save the 90, build the 92. Do not switch that 92 from HO to Renix. Whoever said that had to be joking.

Wishing all three of you a safe, healthy birth. You're going to make an awesome dad.

I guess I'm a downer too on this one too. OP is 19 if I read right. First vehicle. Doesn't run right. Renix. From the north. An 86 2.5L. Too many red flags for me. A purchase price of $500 maybe, and likely another $400 in expenses easy getting it from IA to GA. Probably another $500-1000 getting it drivable. There has to be a better candidate in GA or close for what it will cost. Probably $2500-3000 to get it and make it reliable. Doing all the work himself. With tools we hope he has and a garage somewhere. And a bunch of luck. No way I could have taken on such a project at that age for a first vehicle. I'd pass on it even if it was free.

Hold out for a southern truck. It's an 86, it overheats, and it's in Indiana. I like the 2.5L, but there's that too. There are way better first projects to be had much closer to Georgia. Patience is a virtue. I'd advise that you look for a rust free driver close to home.

You're idea about using different screens to group the PDFs is very good. Just hold down onto a home screen shortcut and drag it to the screen you want. When you get close to running out of screens, Android will begin to create you additional empty screens.

You can do each PDF file this way: In the My Files app, browse to the folder containing the PDFs. Press down on one of the files and hold it to switch the list to selection view. Make sure only one file is checked. Click the menu (three vertical dots at the top right) and choose to add a shortcut. When a dialog pops up asking you where to put the shortcut, choose your home screen. There will be a confirmation and the shortcut will be there where you want it afterwards. Repeat for each PDF. I can't see any easy way to do a directory.

Ok. I assumed it had 4G capabilities. I wouldn't advise using untrusted wifi for anything either, even if it's secured. Good tip there. Hook the tablet up to your laptop and copy the files over using USB to the device itself, or skip that and use an SD card. Use the My Files app to read the files in the field from the device or SD card.

Pretty sure Google Drive and the whole Google apps suite is available via the Google Play store for free for just about any Android "tab"let. These things have so many names these days that at work we just call them mid sized displays, with phones being labeled thin displays, and desktops being labeled wide displays.

What you asked for: Click the 'Apps' button, which is an icon that looks like a white box with nine grey dots in it. That will bring up all apps on your device. When viewing all apps, use the search at the top of the screen to search for 'My Files'. Click that app to open it when you see it. On the My Files app page, scroll down to the PHONE/TABLET area and you should see 'Internal Storage'. Click that. There you can browse your files and/or use the menu (icon with three vertical dots at the top right of the screen) to add a folder, etc. Or, you can plug your tablet into your laptop/desktop via USB and drag/drop files into the right folders. Or, leverage Google's cloud and make your life easier: Get yourself a Google account, and configure Google Drive. Use your laptop/desktop to upload all those PDFs to GoogleDrive, then use your tablet's Google Drive app to access them.

Jeep Driver is right. There are no shortcuts with bodywork. I'm about to do a YJ and two MJs myself over the next 2-3 years, and have done a ton of research on what it takes and what the best methods are. The dustless blasting is neat, but after a half a day you have everything stripped, but covered in blasting soda residue which will screw up your paint if left on, and is impossible to entirely remove. Beyond that, you only have a couple of days to prime the whole vehicle or you end up with rust. Slow and steady wins the race here. Good luck.

Nice. Looks like it came right out of Death Race, or the A-Team built it.

Check this out. Saw it at a gas station just east of Richmond, VA. It was so tragic, I couldn't strand it I'm pretty sure it was lifted a few inches to clear those wheels.

Sounds reasonable. I've noticed each list you push out only typically has 1-2 HO MJs on it. Based on that and CC registry numbers for the HOs, they look hard to come by as well. Factory rollbars appear scarce too. Typically this list only ever shows 1 MJ with a factory rollbar at a given time. I appreciate all the effort you put into this.

I heard the same number from terrawombat when I bought my 92 from him a couple of months ago. He's got a factory diesel at his place he's working on. I think he said around 100 were made, 26 left that the diesel guys know of. Not sure if it's a legitimate number, but it is the popular consensus.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to just leave it be for now. It sounds like it's working as well as it was designed to. I could swear, though, that my 95 YJ read dead on when it ran last, but I've got to finish reassembling the vehicle before I can verify that.

They're basically 35s. I debated on 315/75R17 vs 35x12.5x17 for my JKUR. All the research I did showed the 315s as slightly smaller. Very, very slightly. Here are 35s on mine with a 2" OME lift and PSC flats: FYI, they measure 34.25" installed on wheels with AEV specs at 32 PSI.

I"m a fan of doing the ZJ rear disc conversion for the D35 amd D44. Is the KJ brake setip alot different?

Thank you very much for posting this. I was considering a similar setup for my 91 and 92. I was recently talking to the mechanic who does my inspections, who happened to be working on a RHD XJ at the time, and he said the RHD fans and shrouds were NLA. So I kind of ditched the idea. I should have looked further into it. Do you have a Mopar part number for the RHD fan and shroud? Awesome tip on the 97-01 upper rad support.

I agree with you. OP mentioned a D44 front, so I brought it up. The D30 is plenty stout for all but the most extreme builds.

10-4. Thank you. I had a feeling your answer was what would come back in the replies. I'm going to dig into it further. Maybe run the same tests on the 92 at some point. I was worried the alternator was going bad.
