jeepdoggydogB Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 So just curious what projects folks might be doing this 4th of July weekend. I have several to ponder: 1) 97-01 grill on a 1991 MJ (I bought the 86-90 upper and lower trim pieces in the hopes of accomplishing this) special thanks to Don for the idea (Hornbrod) 2) 1999+ intake manifold 3) 1997+ mirror upgrades 4) Replacing my drivers side door regulator I plan on flying our flag high this weekend and doing some BBQ'ing, but my wife and CFO says I have to have my ride running by work time Monday :nuts: I am also pondering buying a homelink maybe perhaps a lighted vanity mirror model from a grand cherokee to work on the MJ ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hmmm, if we include the weekdays too (I'm off all week and nowhere to go), I bolted down my seat, am in the process of installing new rear leaf packs and front skid plate. Still have to move the CB antenna to the roof, possibly install chevy drop shackles and /or front lift blocks. Noting major, as most big stuff has already been done.

vzehler Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 YOU CAN DOO ITTTT! Should be able to knock that list out in a few evenings after work.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Well since my MJ is bypassing 2nd on the upshift I'm going to be tracking down the why fours on that. Ive already eliminated the TCU as a problem. I know my #2 solenoid, which should read 13-15 OHM is showing 0. So I'll replace it 1st and see if I need to proceeed beyond that. Seeing as how the TV's stratigically located in the garage this may take a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Will hopefully get her back on all fours. :brows: Talking about the MJ you sicko's. :roll: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Damn mfpdm, before I read your "disclaimer", I was going to ask you to keep us posted on the progress of that project, and also remind you that once it was accomplished...... :needpics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I am gonna be replacing calipers. And rigging up my extra motor cooler idea. It's just an extra heater core that I will be mounting in the grille like a tranny cooler. Sounds kinda :nuts: doesn't it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTGoD Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm headed to Jelico Tennessee for WERock. We are competing in the Modified Stock class. It should be a good weekend if the rain holds off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deziped Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well I can scratch my project listed a few posts back. Solved my shift problem, it was just a blown diode in my home made 2d gear push button switch. Slapped a new one in & functions like new. : :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 1. Chop off the lower driver side quarter panel. 2. Weld the rear bumper to the brackets. 3. I'm hopeful that the winch for the MJ will show up today (but not counting on it). If it does, I'll probably work on some mock ups and start thinking about what I want to build for a front bumper. 4. I've got two tires with slow leaks on the XJ. I know where one is leaking. Need to find the leak on the other and repair both. 5. Unibearings need to be replaced on the XJ. My wife wants me to install a couple of ceiling fans so that may delay all of the above. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepdoggydogB Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I guess I will try the regulator and mirrors this weekend, from previous experience there is no way I will go out and try to wheel or boat anywhere on 4th of July weekend. Lots of crazies and drunkies on the trail and on the water out here. Have a safe and sane 4th everyone. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepdoggydogB Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Got the new mirrors and drivers side window balast/regulator replaced. All in all a great weekend! My drivers side window will now roll down all the way and roll back up. I am not gifted with being mechanically talented and I have to say the window balast/regulator was a pain to install and get working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepdoggydogB Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Some of those smartarse Cali folks have no taste.......... 8) Chrome WILL return! :beerhead: Thanks Superwade, Actually I owe Don for helping me with the 97-01 grille idea on my 1991. I have a great affinity for chrome as all my father's and Uncle's 60's and 70's muscle cars had chrome and I couldn't fathom putting anything but chrome on a 1969 Chevelle 396, Chevy Nova, Ford Mustang ETC. Don I have heard from my Uncle's that this place http://www.mmmetalizing.com/services.html might be able to help you with the mirrors, and in my opinion the new mirrors are great replacemements to my stock "adjustables". Miy old stock adjustables are in excellent shape and worked well but the adjustable positions they offered weren't very usefull. These new mirrors do not adjust but they are fixed in postions that are very usefull. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I see a compass/thermometer rearview mirror in there? Thanks WahooSteeler, Yep it's the quadratec special, it was between that or an overhead console. My first choice was the 1994 GC for the extra map lights, temp and direction, but I kept banging my head on it so I splurged for the quadratec one. The overhead console cost-wise is the way to go unless you have the same problem I had. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
