89 MJ

Not much on this has happened since November. The guy that loaned me the dual quad intake gave me a screaming deal on his 348 and this intake, so I am going to have two of these in a couple of weeks. I will have to sell if my extra AX-15 to make it happen though…

My dad always said that to my brother and I while growing up.

I know I’ve already said it, but congratulations! I’m happy for you.

Good to know. I’ll be looking at ordering one soon. Thanks.

Turns out I was mistaken. We are at $3.79/gal here.

Since I have started driving, gas is the highest that it has ever been. (I've been driving since '20 though, so not much comparison). We are somewhere around $3.45/gallon for 87 in SW WI

Thank you sir!

When I sold this car when I had it a few years ago, it was to get my Comanche. I can confirm that it is pretty darn awesome having them both.

Perfect, thank you. In your opinion, is it worth doing? I do spend a lot of time driving at around 60 mph.

I don’t need the pieces, but those are both good finds.

Still not going to sell it. It is nice being rebuildable.

Any updates, @DKA.Motorsports?

I have done some reading on the high altitude CPS for Renix trucks. It appears that it does not add more power at WOT, but it does make it idle smoother and cruise at speed easier. I am around 500-1000 feel in elevation. Can anyone confirm that it will not ping at that elevation? Is it actually worth doing? I plan on doing that with Cruiser’s dizzy index and a bored TB. I have the answer now for the 4.0. Does anyone have experience on it for a 2.5?

Transmission went back in Saturday night, then the front wheel bearings started making noise. The right one was much worse than the left, so that one got replaced. I’m hoping to replace the left one tonight if I have time. Funny story about these, you cannot get a whole hub assembly, so you have to take it all apart and press in new bearings and races. No part of it is difficult by any means, just more time consuming.

Personally, I am super happy with my AAL. It raised the back some and made the truck feel more planted. It did make it a little stiffer, but it made it way more pleasant to drive too. Then I’d run adjustable LCAs, and adjustable track bar, and some 3” lift coils.

Seems like you have it thought out well. I’m running the Mishimoto in my MJ, no regrets here!

10/10 would recommend doing an open loop conversion. It is ridiculously easy. If you use a Renix 2.5 overflow tank, it looks factory too.

Got the transmission back. Hopefully I can get it installed after work today and have it on the road tomorrow.

This one must have been about August 2018 or maybe spring 2019. Behind our shop is my MJ before paint (white blob), my 97 XJ (red blob), my Dad’s plow truck (white and maroon blob next to shop), and my Dad’s YJ right near the garage.

Any chance we can get it scanned so the wiring is clearer? That is awesome!

Always have a water bottle next to you and take a drink every couple of minutes. It will help keep you alert.

IIRC, it can go in both right side up and upside down. It shouldn’t be too difficult to fix, but you will have to pull the cluster again.

Very cool couple of projects! My Comanche was my first truck at the age of 14 and my AMC Eagle was my first car at 12.

Still waiting on the transmission. It took a couple of weeks to get the second core. I did install a new flex plate since some of the teeth were chewed up and a new steering stabilizer that isn’t leaking.

I’d definitely be interested, I just hope I can afford them!
