Turbotyler

Picked up some more boring parts this weekend. They have a few dents, but are rust free.

My airbags that I ordered from another member just came in. This will help the worn-out leaf springs when I put weight in the bed.

I apologize for adding it again. When I was looking for it, I could never find it.

I love them too. I would love to find a visor for a decent deal as well, but that is near impossible.

The plan is to just clear my driveway. If a neighbor needs help, I wouldn't mind helping them out.

I got really excited at the yard when I found them. I got the center caps of eBay since they weren't on the Cherokee I found the wheels on. This is how rough they used to be. I am thinking about polishing the lips and painting the inserts either charcoal or black. I haven't decided yet.

I paid too much haha. It ran so I figured $1000 was fair with the plow. It was worse than I thought when I got it home, but I am so glad I bought it. Thanks for the heads up on the fuel pressure regulator o-ring. I'll be sure to order one with the injector rebuild kit.

Other goodies that I have to put on. I picked up this tilt column with matching steering wheel for for truck. I was so excited to find this online. I picked up some Bosch 746 injectors to hopefully fix the idle issue. I will replace the filters, orings, and pintle caps before I install them. I checked the map sensor and the fuel pressure, and they both checked out. Spark is good to all cylinders as well. The cap is loose on the distributor (I think one tab is broken on the distributor) but I have strong spark. The whole distributor will be replaced before I start driving it. I also picked up some Moog CC784 springs to replace the worn out factory ones. Everything else will come with time this summer. I will cut off the front bumper and remove the rear. I will make the front one bolt on for the winter to use with the plow. I will make custom front and rear bumpers to run in the summer. I do plan on making frame stiffeners for the front to assist with the plow stresses on the unibody. I do have air bags that go inside of the springs to help with the front end sag. I plan to do a posi-lock for the front axle. I feel that 2 wheel low will be beneficial for the driveway plowing. It will need a windshield as well before I can start driving it.

So I got super lucky at the yard. I scored the exact factory wheels I was looking for. I sandblasted them a little just to see how they would clean up. I also installed some tires I had laying around. And before you ask, not the XJ is not mine. I have 1 other jeep and it is a 1998 TJ in about a million pieces. Hopefully I will have it together by the end of this summer.

I installed some Chevy Belltech 2" drop (1"-2" lift) shackles. Surprisingly, the bolts came right out of the old bushings, and they were not corroded!

First thing I did was buy a brand new battery to see how this 4.0l ran. Well that was a disappointment. The thing has a bad idle and hesitates when accelerating. It appears to be a miss. I replaced all of the vacuum lines in the engine bay. I checked the vacuum, and I am getting about 15 at idle when cold, which I found is acceptable. Right after the vacuum lines were replaced, I put in a new alternator. Finally the battery is charging, and that is one system that is good to go. I also took the plow pump off to rebuild it.

So a little background on the truck to start off the thread. I found this about an hour south of me here in Ohio in Massillon. I was digging the blue interior, so I had to go check it out. I also liked the fact that it came with a plow (the guy only plowed his down driveway with it). So I pull up and notice it was very rusty. The old 4.0l wouldn't start without a jump. It couldn't even stay running when you took the cables off. So you know the story, I bought it knowing that. We pushed it onto the trailer and took it up north. On the way home, one of the trailer ramps lost a pin. It started dragging on the road causing a spark show and scared the crap out of me and my buddy that went with me. Luckily the plow pins fit into the trailer ramp strap bolts, so we had a stroke of luck. By the time we got home, it was pitch black, so pictures were taken the next morning. Condition was a little worse than I thought. The front c-channel bumper is welded to the frame. Rockers, cab corners, floor pans, and bed sides are all shot. Inside of the bed is still great and the rest is just meh. One rear shackle was broken and the other was right behind it. All the shocks were destroyed as well as the front axle disconnect. The passenger side hub is sloppy. The battery is shot, the alternator doesn't work, and basically all of the vacuum lines need replaced. It did not come with keys for the doors, only the ignition.The blower motor seems to not be working and I cannot tell if the HVAC is working. Something is stripped in the window crank on the driver side. The radio turns on, but the speakers do not appear to work. The tires are almost 25 years old and are missing entire chunks. I have done a little research on the truck, and it really hasn't been driven on the road since 2003. It has has less than 1000 miles put on it since 2003 and less than 15,000 miles since 1998.

This is awesome to hear! Glad I could help out!

I haven't found this anywhere on the forum, so if it is already here, feel free to delete this post. I hope this information will come in handy to someone else. I bought it to help out with any electrical wiring issues I come across as I am fixing my 87. If there are any issues with any of the diagrams, please let me know. The pictures are all clear on my end, and the words are legible.
