what did you do to your MJ today?

Put a new power steering pump, pressure line, and resevior in it yesterday to replce the old one that took a dump on me last weekend while moving a refridgerator. When I originally did the conversion to power steering, I used a resevior from a late model Caravan, but its pump supply hose end was larger than the hose connection on the pump, so I just MADE it work. But this time I replaced it with a correct sized resevior from a Journey, so all the hose connections fit right. Nice and quiet again!

Realized my teenagers are going to be driving it for the next three years. :(

 

Put my all my (non safety related) projects on hold till they are 18 and done.

 

Was less than happy when I realized that also means selling my camper top and putting on a tonneau instead. :ack:

smack yourself for saying that.

 

Cleaned up intake and vacuum systems. Replaced fuel filter/pump.

 

Drove it for the first time in a week and a half.. Blitzen, how I've missed you.

I did. It was a very short lived thought (like two days)

Had to crank up the Comanche, at -30 celcius.

Fortunately I have Mobil one synthetic oil, so it turned over and started pretty good.

Unfortunately the tires were frozen with a flat spot ground side. Driving caused a thump thump thump for a few miles.

Also there was a horrid scrap scrap scrap noise behind the instrument cluster.

I thought at first it was something wrong with the front left wheel.

When I hit the heater blower it squealed for a minute.

Shifting into second was a grinding affair if it goes at all.

All together it was quite the cacophony of sounds.

The good news once the truck warmed up, all is well.

Oops, :oops:

 

I almost took the grill off a while back to make a cover to help heat up the rad.

Now I've got more incentive, thanks.

  • 2 weeks later...

Finally ordered some Herculiner for my bed. I'm getting the white to match the rest of the truck. Read nothing but good reviews everywhere I looked for herculiner, as theres no way Ill be able to afford having someone else do it. If this works out good, I may consider using it to paint my 86 MJ project if I ever start working on it.
