Did you end up making them or find some? Need to get some for my turbines.

Sipping on these two for the evening. First is Lucky Lighter Kolsch style, from Ratio. Pretty decent and super crushable. Went through a sixer in no time. Nightcap was Hyperlink IPA from Cerebral. Good, but nothing outstanding, would say a solid go at the juicy, simcoe, mosaic style. Cheers!

Not sure if @krustyballer16 is still making them. Had some of my project MJ. https://comancheclub.com/topic/49608-krustyballer-fabrications/#comments

Look on rock auto. The spectras gave decent reviews and aren't that expensive. You can also look into converting it to an open system.

Had a alt beer few weeks ago. Was really good. Probably one of the few dark beers I can tolerate regularly.

Looks tasty! How is it?

As my grandfather would say, "my favorite beer is in my hand and cold". A while ago I went a food and beer pairing event that was interesting. I do feel beer can be paired well with food but drinking a full pint of some let alone a sixer is a challenge. Had a peanut butter stout few weeks ago. Really good for a sip or two but no way I can drink a pint.

Happy Friday! Picked up this helles lager from cerebral brewing in Denver. Really good, crisp and clean. Well balanced and easy to drink. Yes I should be sipping stouts and porters based on the season but just can't. Never been a fan of darker beers.

Here's the novel. I've had three and sold one so at 2 currently, it's been a fun adventure of how I've got them. They have all been members rigs. I had a XJ for a while and the unibody cracked which lead to it's demise. Wanted another but wife wanted me to get a "nicer" vehicle for the little one that was on the way. So got a "nicer" vehicle but still wanted a jeep. Was talking with one of the Naxja guys (yellaheep) that had two comanches he was wanting to get rid of. I had never really heard of comanches but seemed cool and being a truck was a bonus (hauling football equipment got tricky in the accord). So traded some parts from my old XJ and some cash to get it. Had it for a while did some little things here and there but just drove it and loved it. Then moved and didn't drive it as much. I got to the point of wanting to have more of a hardcode offroad rig again and didn't want to chop it up so just kept driving it with slow aspirations to build the WJ. Then I stumbled on Meanlemons project MJ that had most of what I was looking for. So I sold my MJ to another NAXJA guy and got the project MJ shipped to CO from PA. After I get it life happened again and we moved again. Once we finally got settled in the new place decided I was going to finally get to working on the project MJ and started getting little things done. Then during my hourly CL search for jeep things I stumbled on a MJ that looked very similar to my original one. Well probably because it was. Reached out to guy I sold it to and he hit the same wall I did of wanting something to bash but couldn't beat up the MJ. So I purchased it back but with stiffners and some other little things done. So now I have the project MJ, OG MJ and the WJ. Knowing I wasn't going to be able to keep them all tried to sell the project MJ but wasn't successful at first, so I figured I'd keep working on it and sell it once it was running or just part it out. Well never really got to it and then I saw zambeezys 92 come up. Wasn't really looking for another MJ but this was close, a 92 and running. At first figured I'd strip the project MJ and throw those parts on the 92, but I wasn't sold on doing that. Then a savior @derfcomes and snags the project MJ away saving my the time of stripping it. So now I'm at 2 MJ's, the 88 and the 92. Still undecided if I will keep them both. Part of me wants to build a race truck with the 92 but might just clean it up and keep it stockish. Right now not in a rush to do anything. I drive the 88 a lot, tinkering on the 92 and still getting parts for the WJ. The 88 OG MJ How I got it How it is The project MJ The 92 and 88 together

My thought around this was finding a way to register it in a smog free county. My neighbor did that for his vette. If you have a friend or family you can use their address. Just have to venture to that county dmv.

I just swapped the injectors on my 92 this afternoon. Wasn't that bad. Not sure if it's more difficult on a renix. To get the clips off you need a pick to get to the metal slide clamp thingy and just get one side out and they should pop off the injector. It takes some finesse but nothing too crazy. As for getting the old injector out you gotta give them a good yank. Little wiggle and jiggle action doesn't hurt. You also should be able to disconnect the fuel line going into the rail and not need to worry about the regulator.

She looks rough. Wouldn't spend over 1k on it and that's assuming it could at least crank over. Selling wise, it's a 2wd so other than the trim package not desirable. Not sure what your market is but at least in CO 2wd XJs go for about 1-3k.

The knock off aluminum rads fail.....a lot. There's a reason the mishimotos are stupid expensive, but still not 100%. Open conversion is easy should be a write up in DIY section. As for a new pressure bottle. I believe you can use the Volvo one. Add replace mine years ago and I'm pretty sure that's what I did. Also echo what others have said about getting your own tools. Harbor frieght is great for decent and cheap tools. You don't need to have a full on tool box but a couple hundred bucks there sets uou up nicely. Good simple hands tools work wonders.

Project fatigue sucks. Only way I've figured out a way to stave it off it is having a car that I don't have/want to work on that I need to depend on, just a simple driver. That way I can chip away on the project in spare time. If you got a long list of "to do's" get's to be tough because you just want to enjoy it. Only project I've regretted selling was my old K5, needed some little things but had so much done and I didn't drive it much. Decided to sell it to help buy a house still kick myself. I will say the feeling of accomplishing and enjoying a project is an awesome feeling.

I put kickers in my MJ and WJ. For the money decent speakers, not the best but they do good. Look on ebay or crutchfield for open box items as those can save you some cash. I put about $500 in my system for all new speakers, deck, amp, sub and wiring to give you an idea. I went with open box and refurb to keep cost low.

I have a single 8" hooked up to a 5ch amp. Does decent enough. Wanted to feel the double bass when listening to metal. I mounted it behind the center console and have no issues. I did make sure to get a shallow mount. It definitely needs sounds deadening and to tune my EQ.

Good call on the spare relay. Might be the way to go. Thanks for the info.

Cool idea, my worry would be the remote not working or battery pooing out.

Appreciate the info. This is pretty much what I'm looking for. Really just want a horn to go off as an alert.

My 92 has a bench and I can't stand it. IMHO too big for the MJ. Compared to my 88 with buckets the bench feels a lot more crammed. I prefer buckets in general, adds like 30hp to my butt dyno. Plus nice having the center console.

That's what I was thinking. Wasn't sure if it would be a simple add on or require more. Thanks! That's what I was leaning towards. My neighbor a few doors down had their XJ swiped last year. Was a few junkies that used it to go on a robbery spree and god only knows what else. Just want something to at least not make it easy if it was to ever happen. Is there a good writeup with some info on doing that?

I'll preface all this with electrical stuff isn't my strength so easier the better. I'm looking to install a simple but effective kill switch. Looked through some old threads and seems there are several ways. Wondering if there is sticky somewhere or what's the favorite option for accomplishing this? It would be on a 88. Seems the fuel cut off is a fairly easy one and what I'm leaning towards. Bonus points if there is a way to connect an air horn/siren that would be triggered.

Keep the 4.0 and ax15. Only V8 swap worthwhile is a LS. Others can be done but there's a reason LS swap are popular. Dollar per HP nothing comes close. Strongest jeep rear would be a d44 but they aren't cheap. 8.25 is a solid choice. Gears will give you a nice little pep. You could get a rear from an auto that will bump to 3.55.

I'm loosely in the same boat. Snagged a 92 2wd that haven't decided a direction. Once I get it as a solid runner eventually would be looking to do a sport truck with it and swap to a 5spd, but with how often I change directions who knows. The street comanche kit would be cool too and unique. I will say I totally dig @CaptainPatchy ride and I think is a solid option to maintain the stock look but cool af. As for modernizing a Bluetooth receive w/decent stereo, cup holders, single window upgrade and some other things would be my choice. I'm a fan of the OG look vs the 97 swap and interior. Then there's the flip side that's wicked intense with what @Awinski did.
