Finished up some more wiring today and got it running decent enough to get into the garage so I can eventually start ripping the motor out. Also got the rear bumper painted up and ready to install.

Deal of the day! Picked up an 8.8 with 4.10s and a limited slip for a whopping $20 bucks.
-
Haha neither did I. No biggie, it’s all part of the process

Yep that’s the route I was planning on going for carpet. I figured I’d just double check the yard just in case I can save a few bucks

In swapping the steering wheel I gain tilt so I can hopefully get my big goofy body in there a little easier
-
I got the dash out of my XJ donor and installed in the MJ. It was a lot easier than I imagined it would be. The donor XJ has been a life saver as a majority of the steering wheel wiring harness connectors also cracked or disintegrated so I took the time to clean those contacts and swap over plugs etc. I also installed the headliner and have all the interior pieces except carpet. Plan is to run to the junkyard and hopefully find something that works. I plan on cleaning up the floor and welding in new metal sometime this week.

Welp today I learned how harsh a leaky slave cylinder can be on the fuse box. I pulled all the fuses and they just fell apart. I sprayed out the terminals and threw some grease on the new fuses. Hopefully I don’t have to do a complete replacement but time will tell.

I finally got some time to work on the MJ during the kids nap time so I rolled it outta the shed and started stripping the interior(switching everything to grey). I’ll clean up the floors and get some new pans welded in then I can start throwing it all back together

It’s been a while so I figured I am due for an update. I’ve been slowly collecting parts for my 4.6l stroker set up and I slapped on some clean metal to carry on the ugly theme. I picked up a jcr front bumper, rear bumper and some TJ Moab wheels with 32 inch tires that will be going on this winter.

Well, the ugly truckling lives on! It will be a slow build as I’m still knee deep in my XJ tdi build, but I’ve got a 4.6L stroker/ax15/231 to throw in it. I started the interior swap to grey with all the extra parts Carter provided and I happen to have a dash to match so that worked out well. I’ve also replaced the drivers side fender, door and hood so just about every body panel is a different color at this point ha. I’ve had 10+ XJs but this is my first MJ and my first renix so I’ll definitely be poking around in here to learn as much as I can.
