  1. Read this http://comancheclub.com/topic/18991-ignition-lock-removal/
  2. Here is the ZJ seats in my Cummins.
  3. I had 98 ZJ in Onyx and now have a set in my 07 Dodge Cummins. You will not a more comfortable pair of seats out of a junker. I love them. Look at my Project Onyx build for pics and a write up to make the tilt forward.
  4. I have wanted to build an expedition rig for years. I'll eventually get to it.
  5. I have seen hot water heaters made from oil coolers for big rigs or using this write up http://offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?t=754 Mama would be a happy camper!
  6. http://www.socaltruck.net/interior_accessories I've used these in 3 full-size pickup trucks and love them.
  7. There are some pretty decent pics and details in my Project Onyx build thread about installing a hand brake in a MJ.
  8. With that much damage I would just find a new axle to put in it.
  9. I keep hearing the stories of busted pipes and frozen water lines. I live in a camper and I have had zero issues. I did not wrap any pipes either. I simply opened my dump valves, drained my tanks and left the hot water drip from the kitchen sink and a cold from the bathroom.
  10. I used a set off a early Ranger on Betty. I do not have the internal braces in the doors. Use fender washers behind the nuts to keep them from pulling through the door. Try to find either a factory set of a set off a Ranger. The fullsize Ford's have bigger mounting arms and look weird on a MJ's short door.
  11. 13* in deep south Georgia (Albany) this morning. I live in a travel trailer so that makes for some interesting issues with freezing weather!
  12. Oh wow! It looks great! I have a set of Ravines in the garage that would look great on my black 86. I really like this truck!
  13. LWB Olympic truck at that. She's a rare find for sure!
  14. I put a push button switch in the cigarette lighter hole. Then modified the lighter to work so it would just need pushed to set it and a push to reset it. I had a buddy who said he could steal any car in five minutes try to find the kill switch. He never did and I never told him where mine was. I still think that was one of my best modifications on any vehicle.
  15. I'm in south Georgia, Leesburg/Albany area
  16. Mine was one of the very first off the line. TBI 2.5 was her powerplant.
  17. Say it ain't so? cRusty's having issues? They are know for this. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. They really are hit or miss. Good luck.
  18. I hear all the horror stories ofbtje 4.7 being a turd. Mine has been great. I have abused that poor little motor and it keeps asking for more. I do change the oil every 3000 miles and flush the cooling system every couple years. The 5/45RFE trans is a hoss. I abuse it as well. I've towed way to much with that Jeep and the trans is still a pretty cherry red. I did have a solenoid pack go bad at 100k. All in all it has been a great vehicle and is still daily driven. Has been since Oct 2004.
  19. The Special Edition looks just like a Limited without all the bells and whistles. It is a dressed up Laredo for lack of a better word. It even VINs out as a Laredo. The seats are leather but are not the nice Limited seats. The SE does not have the white gauges or the chrome headlights the Limiteds have. I am very happy with my SE. They can be hard to find as they are a bit rarer than the Laredo or the Limited. If I had it to do all over again I still would have bought the SE.
  20. or the vac ball behind the bumper

    Wow!

    That one is worse than the other one!
  22. I have owned my 2004 WJ since it had 23 miles on it. It now has 107,000. It has been an awesome Jeep. I used it as a crawler, tow rig, DD, and anything in between. I have beat the piss out of that poor thing and she has never left me down. I replaced a water pump under warranty at 40,000 miles. Other than that it has never been missed a beat. A few things to stay away from. A 4.7 HO requires 92 octane to run right. dual climate control will break heated seats will break I have a Special Edition (only available in 02 and 04) it has a V8 with leater and sunroof. It looks like a Limited with the body colored cladding without the dual climate or heated seats. I think they are the best bang for the buck.
  23. Could be a transmission mount. We need more info about the truck to make a better diagnosis. lifted, engine, trans, all info about the truck
  24. Looks like she will be for sale again soon. I don't have the time to mess with it and with my current life situation I don't need a project vehicle. Keep an eye on the classifieds for her to pop up.
