89 MJ

Today I picked up some SEM dye for my good dash and door panels and polished the taillights. I forgot pictures.

Glad to see you joined the club!

Yes, with 99-04 Grand Cherokee WJ lower control arms.

Looks like: Friendly Motor Co. Pontiac•Jeep•AMC•Renault Boulder Colorado

Thank you. Never considered it would be similar behind a V8.

@Minuit, any ideas?

How have you been doing since the last update? No more issues I hope?

Did you ever come up with a price? I am moving on to starting my interior restoration.

I couldn’t stand the rattle from the sway bar quick disconnects anymore, so they got swapped for OEM sway bar end links. I should have done that a long time ago. It is soooo much quieter now.

Bump, my fam is looking at hotel rooms now.

Exciting! Why did you go with SBC over LS if you don’t mind me asking?

@Muncher, perhaps? I got confirmation tonight that I’ll be there.

Thanks for sharing, but I don’t think I will be able to make it happen at this point.

The picture isn’t showing up for me. I think in the past you talked about doing a built SBC. Is that still the plan?

Thanks guys! That was exactly what I was looking for. Plans changed and we won’t be needing the trailer for the band, but I still want to add a 7 pin at some point.

I’m aware that I need the controller, that isn’t the part I’m worried about, I was more so wondering if anyone had installed one and wondering the route they went with it and whether or not they got rid of the 4 pin connector.

The plan is to install the controller and all of the associated goodness. It’s not a small hill either, my truck won’t pull the hill empty in 5th. Plus at some point I would like to get a camper to have behind the MJ, and I’ll probably need one then. I did consider just getting the adapter, but the 4 pin connector has been giving me issues, so rather than fix that, we figured we might as well upgrade.

Is that trailer hooked up to the MJ? if it is!

I am going to buy a connector this afternoon and start on it. I’ll report back and then create a write up.

Get a set of new metric ton springs. That will increase ride height and increase payload capacity, but it may ride rougher.

This Sunday, my band has a performance in which we will be using our car trailer as a stage. We will be playing at a car show, so I am bringing my MJ. I am thinking, it probably would make sense to use the MJ to tow the trailer and then my parents could bring whatever vehicle to the show. Our trailer has electric trailer brakes though, so it has the 7 pin connector. I know I could just use an adapter, but I think it would come in handy in the future to have the 7 pin connector, and I will have to go over a large hill to get to the show. How many of you have installed a 7 pin connector in your MJ? How did you go about doing it? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I used one like the picture.

^ just retired

I ran a stock driveshaft with my 8.8 and no lift. I’m still running a stock driveshaft and a 3” lift. FWIW

You could add me to the wanting cheap gas list.
