  1. Any chance you could put that in the DIY tech section? That’s a good solution to saggy hinges.

    wireless earbuds?

    I’ve got a set of AirPods. They are great for school work because they can cancel out noise or let noise through, depending on the mode. The mic is also pretty darn good. The case does have some magnetic bits, so I wouldn’t recommend having the case in your pocket when doing metal work otherwise you’ll have metal shavings and rust stains on the case.
  3. It’s good to see a bunch of progress on this truck again.
  4. I’ve been wondering about this as well. Hopefully we get an answer.
  5. Thank you! I’ll look into it.
  6. Thank you, the comparison between an XJ and YJ is very helpful. I have noticed that the aftermarket support is quite good. Thank you! Thank you! In my mind, I figured the TJ would be really good because it’s coil sprung and 4.0 powered. Finding an LJ would be ideal, but I’m very picky and don’t have a huge budget haha. I do have a lead on one though. Thank you for the help.
  7. I’ve never driven a TJ, but I’ve driven both a YJ and a JK. How do you like the TJ? I ask because I’m considering one for school.
  8. It’s tight, but doable. Are you running into issues? Or just planning ahead?
  9. I figured they might’ve been. They fit the XJ well.
  10. Looks great! It gives me similar vibes to the 4x4 86 only stripes on the Comanches.
  11. It was buried back on page 7. Here you are:
  12. Use all of your Renix parts on the HO block. I’ve done a write up on this in Tech and Cruiser has it on his website. It’s entirely bolt in, but you’ll have to use your Renix accessories, distributor, intake, exhaust, etc.

    Sounds like a plan!
  14. Cycling the key a few times would have the pump run a couple of times to make sure the system would prime. There should be a schrader valve along the fuel rail where you could hook up a gauge to check the pressure.

    That would be great! CC shrinks the size of an image, so it still may not show up great. I tagged Pete because he has an email for the build sheets to be sent to so that we can figure out all of the optional equipment. I think it’s something like comancheclub@hotmail.com, but I don’t remember for sure.
  16. What happens if you cycle the key a couple of times before trying to start it? Have you verified fuel pressure?

    Nice truck! Be sure to start a build thread on it. @Pete M, this one has a build sheet.
  18. I think that it is a lot easier to get projects done when it isn’t your daily driver. I don’t get much done on either of my projects anymore because I have to drive them all of the time, so I have a hard time taking them out of commission. I agree with Pete though. Try to make smaller goals that will lead up to the big goal. For example, one weekend, you could take off and paint the bumpers and grille assembly. The next weekend you could clean up the interior and replace the carpet. Most things don’t take that long on their own, but the time adds up.
  19. I also think that’s a great price. There’s an XJ D44 for sale where I am for $600. And that’s for a D44 with stock gears. If it’s 6.5 hours round trip, you definitely should get it, even if you’ll have to change the spider gears or carrier.
  20. TJ axles are the same width as MJs/XJs. A TJ front axle is a bolt in swap for an MJ. I seem to recall reading that those TJ D44s aren’t a ton stronger than D30s. That said, I’d run one if I found one for a good price.
  21. Let’s see if we can get a few more MJs there next year! Thanks for letting me drive it!
  22. I see that now that I’m looking closer. I think you might be right.
  23. At the Cactus Cruisers Car Show in Glendale. You just can’t beat an AMC era grille guard and chrome tow hooks.
