Sounds like you need to adjust your kickdown cable to me.

Thanks y'all. With the help of a coworker, we ran the new exhaust last evening. I put the stock converter back on, then a stock muffler off of a Dodge Charger SRT8 we had lying around. I just wanted quiet for once. It's got a little burble at idle, but not much louder than stock.

They can be worth up to $100 on our Jeeps, on Ford vans or buses, more like $250.

Looking for a decent set of J and P letters for my header panel. They are the stud type. Will buy the full set if cheap enough. Thanks

Tags and insurance, and she's on the road! Interior isn't finished, there's still some work to do, but feels good to be driving.

Lots of converter theft here in SC. The good news is that once you replace it with an aftermarket cat, it's no longer valuable enough to steal.

Lined the ol girl up last night. Afterwards, I drove her home, first time on the road in 4+ years. Open header was a bit loud, but hoping to have exhaust run soon.

Headlight relay harness is done. All wired into my auxiliary fuse box. For now, the headlight setup is Autopal Ecodes, with Hella 100/80w H4 bulbs. Painted the front bumper, grille and headlight surrounds satin black. Still want a 10 slot black grille. I like the chrome/ black look. Getting close to registering and hitting the road.

Another day of work. Starting to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. I made new brake lines to run from the WJ master cylinder to the distribution block. It was a lot easier than I expected. Plus, I managed to remember to put the nuts on before I flared the ends! Then I swapped the stock front brake hose for new extended ones from a 90s Chevy C1500. After pressure bleeding, I have brakes again! Still need to adjust the rear drums a bit, I think. I trimmed the carpet a bit more, installed the center console, ran the cable for my fan controller, swapped the 2 door XJ driver's bucket seat onto the MJ bucket track. It didn't want to fold, but the cable wasn't broken, turns out the corner zip tie was missing. It folds now. That's my kind of fix. I got a decent bit of the blue interior parts painted grey with SEM ColorCoat. Next step is headliner and dyeing the rear carpet panel.

Thanks, the Duplicolor is what I was looking at.

Slight thread hijack, do you need to use the SEM adhesion promoter or can you use another brand/ something else?

Moog has definitely slipped in quality over the last few years. We install Mevotech TTX stuff when we can now.

Had this Liberty in the shop yesterday. It's still the cleanest one I've ever seen aside from the seat stains. Nothing special, 07, 3.7, Sport, but it has 15k original miles. I did a window regulator in it at 12k miles 2 years ago.

I just had my double wall shaft shortened for my 4wd swap. I asked if it would be a problem, guy said nah, if the rubbers good, it's no problem. It cost $148 to shorten, balance and new U joints

It's a Zone kit. Doing it over, I'd probably piece together a kit. Nothing against Zone, just would prefer adjustable arms and just go SOA on the rear.

It's far from done, but here's my LWB with 4.5" lift and 32s.

Right, I wasn't saying it would be based on the 4.0, but rather, a spiritual successor if you will. Except with power.

Interestingly enough, Fiat Chrysler has shown plans of developing a new inline 6, turbo at that. That would be a nice 4.0 alternative in the newer Jeeps.

Is that the one in upstate SC?

A few more things done. Heater hoses, radiator hoses, trans cooler lines finished. Filled with coolant and burped. Most of today was spent with wiring. I finished the battery cables, all 2 AWG including a new run to the new fuse box and a mega fuse for the alternator. I have the relays in the new box wired to be ignition switched and I'll just have to run network cable to my switch panel for relay grounds. I got my fans wired and the Trinity V2 fan controller wired as well. I'll have fun dialing it in. Currently, I have the center fan wired for low operation, then the other two as a medium, then on high, they all 3 run. Guys, she moved under her own power today for the first time since being torn down 4 years ago! Kinda tricky still since I haven't finished the brakes. I still have to run new lines from the WJ master to the brake block and replace the front hoses. I used a 95 Dakota rear brake hose to extend the rear.

A '70 Cuda is my dream car, but with prices, I'll never own one.

Wheels and tires are on. Adjusted the trackbar finally. I thought about buying new premade battery cables, but figured I'd make my own for a lot less, so I'm running 2ga cable. I plan on having quite a few circuits that need relays, at least 5 for the low beam, high beam, fogs, low and high fans. I don't want all those relays hanging out on the fenders, so I snagged the fuse box from a Mercury Mountaineer we have at the shop. It's PLENTY of room to expand into. There are 13 relay slots. Can't beat free. Now I need to relocate the coolant overflow bottle. Any ideas?

Put my new wheels and tires on the front.

Black trim I believe.

Like a kid at Christmas over here. New tires arrived! Cooper AT3 XLTs in 32x11 50R15. Wheels are Mammoth Boulder 15x8.
