Got alittle more work done this weekend. Got some interior lights installed, thanks to CC member Fezzik :thumbsup: Also removed the toolbox for painting and removed the plastic bedliner just to see what might be hiding underneath... Besides some dirt and mulch, the bed was very clean and rust free :D Got the bed cleaned out and the liner back in. Began getting the stripes off the truck in preperation for paint in the next few weeks.....check back again for more updates :cheers:

:agree: Its either your CPS or Ballast resistor from the way it sounds.

Idk if any exist still besides the 1 Archer Brothers truck in the Chrysler museum. Id love too see 1 of the old Mickey Thompston Stadium trucks in person but Its very likely all those have vanished :( The pictures are likely the best view youll get of them now a days .

Lets bring this sucker back to life! :peek: Gotta have a "Stone" when workin on the MJ :cheers:

Swapped idler pulleys in "2whpeel" and swapped Fan clutches and bled the cooling system in Dads truck. Dirt pile made the cooling system work easy :wrench:

finally decided to get the rest of the air outta the cooling system.....I have a feeling ill be using this dirt pile for this task alot from now on. After a new(er) fan clutch and a system bleed, shes stayin in operational range once again :cheers:

Another small matinence item taken care of this evening. The bearing in the AC Bypass pulley was very noisey so out it came. Old vs New At home, and no more noise ;) Yeah kinda boring i know, I also got a fan clutch swapped and cooling system bled on Dads Wood truck this evening as well :cheers:

Sure $10 works for me. Ill send a Paypal asap, just need an address ;)

The inner 1 would be fine, or i can replace the whole thing.....either or ;)

I know the speedo can be swapped easly. I'm unsure however if the rest of the cluster operates differently from the Renix era clusters :dunno:

Hey guys, I'm looking for a floor shift indicator like the 1 pictured below. Theres a few on ebay but $15+ for shipping is crazy. So i figured 1 of you guys might have 1 lying around. I don't wanna pay more than $10-$12 total for this thing. If you can manage that and need to just get rid of it let me know. I'm on here numerous times a day so a PM would probably be the easiest way to contact me. Thanks! Example

Probably using a single contact bulb over a duel contact. Ive done the same thing ;)

Got the interior cleaned up a bit and pulled this 80s-tastic floormatt from the parts Jeep, it cleaned up alright and will fit in this thing pretty good Inside the glove box i found this nice label, so I'm pretty sure that D44 was installed from the factory in this truck ;)

I love my sealed beam silverstars, even with the OEM harness :dunno:

The VINs are listed on a few of them, including the 92s.....if anyone is intrested in the build dates ;)

Love it! acctually kinda jelous!, lol

A quick treatment of Seafoam, a valve cover breather, slapped in a newer o2 sensor (post seafoam) and got some body filler applied and began sanding. its coming along, I'm gettin excited to drive it :D sorry no pics this time :grrrr:

Yeah, its weird reaching down for the transfer case shifter only to find there isnt 1! :rotf:

Definently meet up with him sometime, who knows, that pristene truck could be yours someday, if he knows your a Comanche Nut youll likely be the 1st person he wants to talk to, if he ever decides to sell ;)

Got stuck in the yard :oops:

Well after a heater core flush, some fresh coolant and parking on a slope in the backyard to bleed the air from the system, I encounted my 1st obstacle in a 2wd truck.....backing up in damp grass :oops: . Not wanting to tear up the yard (mom would likely kill me) It was time for a self recovery. :roll: :yes: Dad watches on at my antics :chillin: O Well. Atleast i have great heat now! Should be getting back to some body work tomorrow :wrench:

No, i didnt get too in depth with it, basically, just applied it in the resin and smoothed it out the best i could ;)

Alrighty so this evening i decided to solve my Fuel sending unit issues. I was all but confident that somehow an XJ sending unit was installed in this truck, How? I havent a clue because to my knowledge and even from past experience the XJ Sending units Will not mount in an MJ fuel tank. With the fuel guage reading backwards and a brand new, still had the stickers on it Airtex sending unit mounted in the tank I couldent think of anything else... So out it came and of course is was an XJ unit. The MJ unit to replace it is on the right. The brand new tank that was installed still has a slosh pan inside as well! :dunno: Either way I swapped the new pump to my MJ sender and reinstalled the assembly without any trouble. So atleast I now have an accurate fuel gauge that reads the correct way. So mission accomplished. However the rumor of MJ and XJ sending units still has me wondering :nuts: O Well, have some finishing work to do on the body repairs and a few other small things to take care off as well, Keep checking back :wrench: ;)

Both Jeeps are runnin 1-2
