Hard frank

I might be able to source you a some parts if you want need

I'm about to tackle the rear main seal and was wondering if there is a DIY write up,just kinda what stump's to watch out for beforre hand thanks in advance

So who has the 4.0 litre yellow Comanche with Ohio plates that was at Jeepskool today? I never did get the chance to meet you, although I did find your truck with the hood up at the pavillion.

I don't know if I tols you all but phase 2 of my build is done Working on acquiring phase 3 parts. So far I have a full float d60, and thats about it. The rest of the plan is to get a hp60 for upfront, histeer, 5.13 or 5.38 gears, ARB up front spool rear with 35 spline alloys front and rear. For rims I plan on running recentered hummer bead locks, and for tires I was thinking 42 Irocs or tsl's. BTW I am not going any higher on the lfit. Needless to say more tube work and cutting will be in my future

yes there are other ways to empty your MJ`s fuel tank other than simply driving it lol.... while stripping down the comanche yesterday I needed to grind off one of the trans mount bolts, and this is when I found out my fuel tank was leaking lol..... got to love fire ;D the tank was 1/2 full, and i was working alone so I knew removing it was going to be a PITA. Then I had a thought, why not bypass the fuel pump relay and let the tank pump itself dry ?? simply unhook your fuel line and if need be attach a hose to it to reach a gas can. take a piece of wire and jump it from your + battery terminal to the fuel pump relay connector as shown. I was in the process of removing the engine, but you get the idea.no need to have the key on to do this. I drained my gas tank in under 10 minutes !

Well, replacement rockers at least. :oops: I read a thread somebody wrote some time back over on www.NAXJA.com , about using a rear tail gate cap for rocker protection. Well its only aluminum so its not really much protection,. but its really nice to cover rusted out rockers!! Its DeeZee part number 2143B for a 2002-06 Dodge Ram pick up. The contour/profile is almost exactly the same as the XJ/MJ rockers!! When I got my MJ, the rockers where not that bad, but would have been if not taken care of right away. There was small rust holes for most of their length. I removed all effected metal, back to solid steel and cleaned and prepped area for RUST BULLET. This is much like POR15 but a top coat is not required. I left it like this for about 4 months. /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/54454ae953c0e33c1f7d204a682f52c6.jpg /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/e6a059df9f7e616cbd6641b08bcbe89b.jpg Tonight I decided to tackle the diamond plate rocker covers. They are WAY long for the MJ, but almost perfect on a four door XJ. I positioned one end so it tucked up under the flair about 2". Then marked for the cuts at the beginning and ending of the door opening and then again at the end of the cab. For the front cut its to remove the lip/fold that is the back side of the cap where it would screw to the back of the tail gate. /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/96f7d99d1581371cd1bf8ea3b28e130b.jpg In the door jamb area the lip of the diamond plate is a bit too much for the front portion of the door. So I just bent it up so it would ride up the vertical portion of the rocker. This allowed the whole panel to be tucked up nicely against the body for a nice tite fit. At the rear of the door, I choose to just cut the lip and flatten the piece so the plate extends up higher on the body behind the door. /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/db974f42a749185d81f2ee06bf52a59c.jpg At the end of the cab, I just cut to kinda match the contours of the cab. /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/a9858dc7d38e06ef731435246a3cf8d0.jpg Then I attached everything to the MJ using some BLACK Silicone at the door jambs and lotsa pop rivets!! /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/5c20acdeded5eae2ebc54f0da63da607.jpg Here is the Pass side finished: /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/66f2bb2617ebe60cfb979e35afe53853.jpg Here is the Drivers side all done: /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/664c67552e9f87add98deacfd9bb3df8.jpg /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/c5ae4269532951d36aac92174266e1db.jpg /uploads/archive/46f0d20b92f80a340b7bcba4c81dd98b/cb54e55eea85108555a0054f3fbc8b9b.jpg I ran out of light so I do not have any really good shots in day light, but I like it and it looks very nice. Almost like they where made for this purpose!! Took me about 3 hours start to finish. NEXT is my actual rocker protection!!! Maybe one of you needs this, Good luck

Ok so i had to back out of the deal on getting my mj. :cry: Some things came up with the seller and he needed to keep it. Now I am on the hunt for a cheap mj. As long as it runs I really don't care the condition since i do body work and that. But cheap is the key!
