wannabeMJ

I think it is normal for trucks that are about 20 some years old on the same idea what did you guys use to replace the damn trim around the windshield when you replace them ??

I bought the 4.5'' from hell's with the aal the lift in the back consisted of the aal and a longer shackel from my point of view just the aal would bring it up to 2'' or 2.5'' and also stiffen your leaf pack a bit so it probably won't seem to sag when youMll load it up again here's a pic when I installed mine

it's EXTREME!!!!!!! absolutly nothing is different :wall:

well Ive worked on the truck this weekend almost finalised the inside of the truck and all the wiring thanks to the thread on the '' how to connect the XJ harness to the rear MJ one '' made my life quite easy I also installed the rear speakers and the dash here is a couple of pics I took that's the speaker and the bracket I made with the dash I saw that in an other project thread and I tought it would look nice with the black interior and finally a shot with the passenger seat in with all the interior

:hijack: do like I do make a list on your beer fridge then you can see where you at every time you go and have a beer and please don't end up on the darwin award list and try to look inside your tank with a fluid lighter :thwak: and I'm also curious why not trying to cut the arm and reattach the float instead of buying a new one???

today I went to wall-mart and bought myself 2 sets of speakers I wasn't quite sure if they would fit I know the doors were 5 1/2'' but I bought 6 1/2'' and suprisingly they do and I also bought 6x9 for the rear so I will do new bracket so fit them I didn't have originals in the first place anyway now I need to get a new deck

great thanks for the info I think our front loader is actually going to get fix there pretty soon if not Ill make it need to get fix :thumbsup:

yeah after reading the whole post seems that is hand-brake is from a 97 XJ and not a 90 like I got. his doesn't go trough the floor and I would guess would be a easier fit then mine ........ guess ill have to figure something out on my own or go get a 97 one at the JY if anyone as any ideas put them in here ..........

i know i've read it to in the MJ project and he had coiled his under the carpet but I can't seem to find it again if someone knows or could post the link to it ??

I'm tryind to finish my interior and the only thing left to do is install the hand brake first the original pedal brake in a MJ is a cable that goes from the pedal to the spliter for the 2 rear cable but the XJ handle brake is a rod that connects to the 2 rear cable I was thinking of putting a yoke end that can screw on the rod and then attach the cable by doing a loop around and then clamping the cable on itself but I can't find a yoke end in town :fs2: so now I'm kinda stuck I'm also thinking about taking the rod out and trying to fit the cable directly on the handle as anyone done this? I need imput on this plz

nothing here like that I might have to go to calgary to find some or order them on the net

finaly got to put up the front suspension and on the way did little things that I won't have to do later on everybody said that the LCA on the diff use to hit on the metal bracket on the diff so I cut that and the UCA use to hit underneath the arm bracket so cut that to also out with old and in with the new 4,5'' longer some pics on the way and with the diff out of the way and now the truyck at new ride height thats 25'' at the door step

where did u by the yoke ends Ive been calling all over my town stores and they don't have anything ......... was it a specialty store or just your local hardware place?

well with the rain and snow we had this week I couldn"t do any work so I kept myself busy when I took out the bench seat I kind of f*cked up my seat mount so i fixed it yesterday and installed it today I had to cut the top part that atatch to the seat and redo it I used an angle bar 3/16 thick and started mocking one up here is the part that I did and the seat bracket once I've wirewheel them and painted now a couple on the seat and the fit test ...... like a glove soon Ill finish the interior by replacing the dash where it belongs and putting all the interior back in and tommorow my friend is comming to give me a hand and get the front suspension done

nicely done might do the same thing,,,,,,,

Got pics? X2

guess I should introduce myself here now my name is dominic I'll be 30 this year and I'm french and from Quebec, Canada (montreal) and my comanche is my 3rd build, I started with a grand wagoneer 88, then went on to a YJ that received some parts from the waggy and when I got that done I moved to where I'm at now medicine hat Alberta but my girl friend and I needed a second vehicul so I can commute to work (carpooling now) so this is why my build is going fast..... hewre is some pics of me and my trucks thats me when I started on the YJ didn't have a garage back then here it is now Image Not Found the original waggy but that was before I put a 4'' lift on it and 33'' TSL radials but now you all know my new project an 86 jeep comanche that use to be a 2,8L will now be a 90 4,0L I6 I know my way around a jeep but still need some info about this new one so don't mind me asking stupid questions sometimes so I hope to see you guys sometimes maybe on a meet in Alberta who knows ..........

i would take a guess but 95% of the time it will be a faulty ground

thanks ill try to fit the one from the XJ on the MJ

I just put a 4.0L in my MJ when I took the engine out I noticed that the gas line where pressurized and they had a quick disco at the entry of the fuel rail is there any way I can replace those with bulk gas line? can I cut the original one from the cherokee and make a joint in it? please info and comments plz Dom
