mm's mj Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Replaced the starter - pushed it way beyond my first notice of a problem and still got lucky enough to fix it at home instead of having it fail in some parking lot somewhere. Was surprised to see a Mitsubishi label on the old piece. Sometimes I feel more like an archeologist when I work on the truck, just peeling back the layers of years of curious repairs and replacement work. It's never boring.
TNT Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Cut out the top of my raised inner fenders and started reworking them for another inch of space. The cutoff wheel, torch and welder have been my main toys... Let's not forget the BFH thou. :brows: :cheers:
dfreeman616 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 applied my 12" ComancheClub.com decal in the lower left of my rear window, and a Great Lakes 4x4 decal in the right side of the rear window :cheers:
mvusse Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Added 2" lift blocks I had laying around to my XJ. Before: After: I also replaced a bad front axle U joint yesterday and noticed the (1994) shaft itself is quite a bit thicker than my original (1987) MJ axles. Why would they redesign axles make them bigger and I assume stronger, if the weak point is the 5-260x U joints? Inspected the rear brakes as well. Driver side needs a new adjuster, everything else is A-OK.
Darren Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I didn't do anything to my jeep today but I might do something to it tomorrow. go blazers f the rockets
shelbyluvv Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I cut the drivers side firewall out of the 97 XJ and modified it to cover the stock holes in the MJs firewall. It came out looking factory. Now I can run the wiring.

Darren Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 you, and goblazers, need to stop being immature dumbasses. Speaking of dumbasses, I'm leaving in my MJ right now for Bens house to work on my Jeep.

smithe1811 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I installed a sunroof today, pics will be in my project thread.
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I installed a sunroof today, pics will be in my project thread. THIS IS ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO DOWN THE ROAD.... I'll check out your pics!! CW
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 I pulled the bed, dropped the gas tank and started cleaning up the frame.. LOTSA RUST is an understatement!!! As always.. pics up shortly, in the build thread... :D CW
JeepcoMJ Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 successfully recovered my friend's cherokee...which easily weighs 1000 lbs more than my truck with the exo cage, winch, etc. on it. my tires were bald. also, not so succesfully, attempted to recover a full size 90's bronco, which weighs 5800lbs. the rescue truck was stupid and had bald tires, so he got stuck trying to get to the property we were at (friend's house near his field). go figure, it's a ford. then on the way out, I got stuck...everyone was attempting to get the "rescue vehicle" un-stuck, so I figured I'd rock it out. I did, but it seems like it may have cost me an aw4. so, looks like we may be able to chalk up an aw4 to my long list of blown transmissions :clapping: the trans is draining now, I will be flushing it and putting lucas trans fluid in to see if I can get her to make it a while longer. was real doggy on the way out lol. *shrug*
comanche87 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 i put my truck on the lift at work to make sure the bolts for the front diff were tight. i ended up snapping one of upper bolts that bolt it into the unibody. i was sooo pissed. but at least i had spare ones at maddzz1's house. had to borrow a car to go get it. yay!! I'm bout half way to having 4x4!!!!!!
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Sanded, wirebrushed and rust bullet painted "most" of the frame. :D :D CW
offroader461 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 cut holes in my hood and install new hood vents :cheers:
skaterguy58 Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 Sanding rust out of floorboards till 1AM, that counts as today right?
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I made my patch panels for the MJ frame and took off my rear shocks. I am altering the mount so I don't have to tip them at such a steep angle. (They work better straighter.) CW
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Looks GREAT!! I also like the Waggoneer nose!! CW
offroader461 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Looks GREAT!! I also like the Waggoneer nose!! CW Thx...i really need to take my bumper in to have it powdercoated!
