COMJNUT Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 washed it, drove it to a M&G, got an offer to buy it and told em no.
danbyrambler Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Checked the MPG - - 16.8 mostly 25/30 mile day time round trips wi AC on & 70/75 onna hiway - - - Started noticing MPG decline awhile back - - Truck ran ok just using a little more gas - - 89 with a 91 4.0 Aw4 4wd - - Somewhere around 162K - - Doesn't get driven ever day or week so keeping track of kinds of use/trips can be iffy for me - - - All the usual/normal mpg killers checked out ok but had no idea how old the O2 sensor was, so put in a SMP SG1829 about 6 weeks back - Drove it a little more'n usual & ckd MPG on 2nd tankfull after new O2 - - - Most places here, a little South of St Louis, went to 3.59/gallon today . :MJ 2: .
jpdriver1 Posted June 15, 2014 Posted June 15, 2014 installed a override switch for the aux fan --- the sensor I used in the closed/open swap was allowing it to come on too soon.
PEEJ Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Replaced gas tank with a new one,couldn't get the old leak to seal. Replaced sway bar bushings,Replaced clock in dash with one that works.
lil_loco Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 After blowing out the pinion I stripped the housing and reassembled without it so I could roll out of the way until the new set goes in. Donor is a 60,000km set with trac-lok..... Next step: lower from 6.5/10 to an even 6.5 than again to 4.5/6.5.
dasbulliwagen Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Coolant dummy light came on today, made it back to the dealership and it started puking. I think my elec fan stopped working. Need to check into that.
relyt120 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Almost scored a smokin' deal on some gamblers! Gone in less than an hour!
lil_loco Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Sold the front axle out of my donor truck then stripped all but the steering and packed it away for transplant.... Steering comes out tomorrow
neohic Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Washed it out and made sure everything was still there.
COMJNUT Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 towed 25 bails of hay with the usual trailer, dropped off the trailer to pick up a full bed load of strawberries, grapes, oranges for work. Adding the mirror extenders worked wonderfully.

COMJNUT Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 What do you do at work with all that fruit? party! :rock on: that's the short list of the food that's already in the walk-in fridge
COMJNUT Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Found out that I blew the power steering pressure line while towing, fixed it in all of 45 minutes.

danbyrambler Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Still trying to disprove the "If it ain't broke don't fix it" axiom - - - Had this 60mm TB inna shop 4 awhile now & yesterday, while bored, decided to mess with the MJ - - Did not closely ck butterfly 1st & 1500 rpm idle after test drive - - Stop screw frozen & didn't wanna force issue - - Easy enuff to Dremel top of screw little atta time until RPM back to 600 r so - 2nd test drive OK - Ever thing back to good :cheers:
lil_loco Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Finished rebuilding the d44 then did a fluids check. Glad i did. Trans was over by 1L! Then found the clutch fan is near death time for an upgrade
HOrnbrod Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Installed a pair of Redline hood struts. Nice product.

lil_loco Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Traded away some TJ doors for new(ish) 31" shoes! Debating it still but thinking about swapping them over to the original turbine rims. Not sure how I feel about the ravine rims.
