wannabeMJ

thank you Ill read a little tonight and I'm hopping for saturday or sunday

never seen the built date on mine but if yours look like mine, no massaging what so ever

wrenching again today finish the rear diff and yesterday I decided that the torx bolt had to go (striped 2 in the process) and the local hardware store didn't have the right bolt size 5/16 x 1/2'' they only had 3/4'' so had to cut them marked them all before with the diff cover all install ready to be fill also painted the rear lights I did the CAD thing and install the whipers to but forgot to take pics ( you can kinda see it with the tail lights) right now just took a brake for lunch will be wrenching again this after noon

:typing: :typing:

I have to say great work on the windshield but ....... come on!! getting your GF to weld for you........ :nuts: have to say SHE did a great job to on the floors :thumbsup: and after seeing where you live : GOTTA LOVE THOSE CANADIAN GIRLS

good to know your gage work now

finaly tommorow morning I'm starting on the bushwacker install put the winter rubbers on for more room and also picked up the goods.... 2x 5 galons of 80x90 diff oil for :brows: FREE :bowdown: :bowdown: but none of this would be possible without my good friend Stan who lent me his propane heater for the garage and that will be it for tonight to be continued tommorow................................

also time to finish the interior installed the sun visor and some new pedal covers also changed the TRE at the pitman arm new one on top took off the 2 sided tape off the emblems but the paint on them look's like crap still wondering how to fix them before I put them on the truck and also prep the tail light for a touch of paint to take off that chrome trim

yeah but that would take away valuable wrenching time :fool: got a few things done today took off the rear diff cover rusty a bit time to clean it then some paint also took the gear stamping and still looking to confirm the 4.11 ratio since the tag is unreadable if I'm doing this right the last 3 numbers are 37 and 9 so 37/9=4.111111111111111111111 hummmm got to love math :jump:

give a call to Tom at Hell's creek he's also a membre here I'm sure he can hook you up with a set of leafs or maybe a full lift kit

The needle is completely pegged on empty and never moves. The gas light doesn't come on either. How would I send voltage? Can I use a test probe or something? yeah you jump the sender wire with the fuel pump wire (putting a loop wire in the plug ) then (with someone in the truck) check if the gage move or jumping the ground if it does so you have a faulty sending unit in the tank not a faulty gage and wires

when the truck is stop does the gas gage go to empty try sending voltage trough the sender wire see if the needle moves from what your describing it seems like a bad sender not a faulty wire

yeah but that would a dana 30 so same as your MJ one you could just do a gear swap with an instal kit unless you wanna go 4.10 with your rear end (wich is morelikely what everyone wants) then you should look for a different front end if you want a complete unit to swap in

fenders are in and GF leaving tommorow then 7 days at wrenching :jump: and deal in progress 4x 35 for 5x33 see if the other guy wants mine :dunno:

real f*cking nice I wish my GF would allow me to do that to the MJ but it will be my DD and she wants to be able to drive it (climb in it :wall: )

how about a 1472 Kg yj ? and does a dolley or a flat bed (1 or 2 axle) make a difference on the weight distribution for the truck??

might have to look but I think I have a set and I would take 50 big one for them :yes: send me a pm for info

finaly the bushwacker have cleared the customs and they should be here by monday or tuesday and on top of that the GF is going home in quebec for the week so Ill have all my time to work on the truck the plan is : installing bushwackers replacing TRE at pitman arm installing whippers iinstalling rearview mirror change the oil in the rear diff grind and paint diff cover change the oil in the t-case install the inside moulding (where the hood cable use to be ) clean the truck in and out and then finaly :driving: test drive I can see the light at the end of the tunnel :beerhead: :beerhead:

can't remember in wich post I've read that but seems that the rear breaks and cluster are sharing the same ground or the same fuse .... might wanna research that in the tech sect

great build :popcorn: keep going I might steal ideas from you :brows: but this year I can brag about being in a garage I would hate to be in your situation again never ever again am I building a truck outside

I did and its not the prettiest job For starter I didn't keep the backing on the carpet it was just wet and I decided to just rip it out but when I redid the floors in the truck I installed an insulation after i painted it you have to play a little with the carpet to sit in and cut the rear end of it only when the carpet is in and instaled so you don't cut to short

must be the french thing acting up again
