Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Well, this is my first truck, and have gotten a lot of compliments on it. But I really want to convert it to 4WD and lift it. But thats kind of expensive so right now this will have to work. Anyways on to the pics. and when I first got it.
Burls Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 MAN THAT THING IS CLEAN! Nice truck. Wish I could find one that nice round my neck of the woods.
Catatonic Comanche Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Seven views...no replies...amazing! Well, I won't be bashful! That MJ is immaculate! From the rust I have been battling, you have a GREAT starter MJ! Rock on, Jeepcom! :beerhead: Paul
Mitch Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 that is in great shape! Will look good as a 4x4 :)
Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks. only thing wrong, mechanically, is its got oil blow by :cry: so I'm waiting to get a break and park it and fix that.
JeepcoMJ Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I think the name is commonly associated with clean MJ's ;) B-E-A-utiful man.
onebigmj Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Wow. I used to think my truck was in good shape till I saw yours. Nice truck man. That things gonna be sweet no matter what you do to it.
Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks again for the comments guys. Anyone got a lift kit for sale?
mvusse Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Blow by is common, but the oil leaking out of the valve cover gasket and out of the breather onto the air filter is usually caused by a clogged CCV orifice. Simple fix, only cost is a valve cover gasket, some good solvent (like gasoline) and some time.
Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Well, oil, and smoke comes out of the First PCV valve on my valve cover and into my air filter. I took of my valve cover and cleaned the things inside of it and it still does it. Any ideas.
mvusse Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 The back grommet should have a 2.6mm hole on the inside. That's about 1/8" diameter. It often gets clogged, and is almost always the cause of oil on the air filter. If yours is open (and you can blow air through it), then maybe there's a problem with the vacuum line hooked up to it? And your Jeep looks great. I myself like 4wd better, but with your tires, 2wd looks good. Has it been lowered any? It seems to sit a little lower to the ground than I'm used to seeing, especially in the front.
Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 OKay, ill give that a shot. and nope its stock height. And I agree with 2WD, I'm going to the JY tomorrow to see if i can get a transfer case, and front axle to convert it.
mvusse Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 You will need a transmission as well. The 2wd transmission will not bolt up to a transfer case. And don't forget front driveshaft.
Jeepcom23 Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 yeah the one they have in the back of a cherokee has it on it.
Jeepcom23 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks, I'm an amateur photographer. If anyone is in the Tristate area, I would gladly shoot your rig.
ttruckinon Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I have a Cherokee 4x4 that I bought for the motor. wound up using a different one but if you are still planning on the 4x4 conversion it has all the parts you would need. Let me know if you are interested. BTW, sweet looknig ride!
Jeepcom23 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 Just in case anyone wonders where she's at now... New 30x9.50 tires and painted the wheels. Also she has a new heart (96 grand cherokee)
