Its not green wood. All dead ash. But yes definitely a good load. We hear solely with wood and burn roughly 1 cord a year. As to the springs. They make a special set. The only place I've seen them listed is here. I'll do some searching and see if I can find the part # It sets pretty much level when empty with 4.5" re front springs.

Those are the 3" lift mt springs. I'm very happy with them so far.

don't underestimate what these little guys can do. They are stout trucks for their size.

Picture is from last fall but had a chance to test my general spring mt springs. They handled it really well.

Now that i have this picture thing figured out I would like to introduce. Dub

I could have but had just pulled on the road from another and was nearing my turn. I was just glad to see another one on the road. Edit: i guess I should mention the fella driving it seemed just as suprised to see my mj as me his. However there was enough hand waving, horn tooting and thumbs up given that everyone around took notice of the 2 most bad @$$ trucks on that stretch of highway.

Wow look at me getting smarter

I have a pic. However my phone won't upload. I believe its an issue with my phone being stupid.

Lawrenceburg ky. Yellowish tan 2wd. I was in my mj.

i am working on the logistics to see if I cam manage a trip.

I think we should make the kit and market it to the xj crowd. Tell them it fits, let them buy a few and find out it won't fit. Would be good payback for all the floorpan, rocker,wheel well replacement parts being sold to fit both. Ok I'm done. Lol

Duct tape

Ugh. Too bad I'm unable to go and fetch right now.....

I took off down the road in mine once after a hibernation in the back yard for a couple months and out of the lower heater ducts came baby mice. Never did find momma.

It doesnt look quite level. Better put the rear support legs down a little. Lol

ok so quick update. I looked again with fresh eyes. The upper is the idler pulley the lower is the mount for the mechanical fan. I cannot find a replacement for it. The bearings aren't terrible but are feeling loose and I would like to prevent a break down. I have been busy the last few day. I have the 2 heater boxes disassembled and frankestiened into one good one. THANKS @MiNi Beast. I am waiting on some jb weld to set on a heater box stud and it will be ready to install. I have finished most of the sound deadening in the cab with the exception of the doors (easy to do later). I am waiting on a valve spring compressor arriving today via amazon, replacing broken stuff sucks, and the motor will go back together fairly quick. I will need a junkyard trip before I completely assemble to drive. I am planning that for tomorrow if all goes as planned. Interior should be back together today and motor tomorrow hopefully. I am sure ready to be back in my truck and out of that silly WJ....... A full new Walker exhaust kit is on the way. Along with a brand new cat. I know not necessary but I am attempting to make this as quiet and comfortable on the road as possible for a MJ. I am having issues with my phone not wanting to upload photos so no pics for now but I am taking some as I go. So I will upload them all from the computer and update my build thread accordingly when complete.

Everywhere I look shows the upper one but I also need the one below the compressor. It almost looks built into the ac bracket.

End of day one: Well actually only a couple hours into it. And that includes a break to stop and chat with a friend. The new water pump is in and I am ready to pull the valve cover then head in the morning. I need to replace the 2 idler pulleys on the ac bracket. Any suggestions on where to source them?

I might have myself a can of r12 liquid gold stashed away......

I'm a makita fan boy. I have a 36v makita that is as powerful as a big gas model.

Check your strimmer. Using larger than called for line can have a huge effect on performance. I found the hard way that the wrong size line is almost as useless as a poorly running engine. It can suck alot of power. There is a reason smaller machines don't call for big line. Edit: I have heard of the soak technique but never tried. Strimmer line isnt one of the major expenses in my life. If I wanted to save money, hassles, and wasted time in my life I wouldnt have jeeps. Lol

Well it looks like this week is finally gonna be time to dive in. The wife will be gone for a bit so I can ignore her honey do list for a day or two and fix my truck.

Thats definitely a riviera front end. I think that thing is bad@ss. However I am an eternal fan of those rivieras also.

Thats a good idea. Maybe we should organize a caravan to meet up with pete and help him out.

I have some interest in a swb. And would be willing to help with fuel cost if it means a southern bed.
