MJCARENA Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Replaced my painted 8 slot grill with a NOS chrome one.
comanche12 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 walk around my MJ and do nothing with it because I'm focus on tools for my new job! Also pulled AMC 20 out of way and ready to give it to fellow member to take care of it :cheers:
cody4359 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 welded on the floor patch panels a little and finished welding a patch that i didnt need to cut out for my door swap, checked that my fuel pump worked and got as far as thinking about putting it in :wrench:
ComancheKid45 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Broke my 88 :( ...lol O Well new project :wrench:
comanche12 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 thought about selling her :( Brandon how come? :(
dasbulliwagen Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 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!
comanche12 Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 AMC 20 sold! thanks amc MJ and take care of it for me :thumbsup:
Dechion Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 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:
camjeep3 Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 thought about selling her :( Brandon don't
Sir_Brando Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 thought about selling her :( Brandon 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.
SW86 Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 swapped in 10 slot chrome grill (don't know if i like it yet), got extra 8.25 shaft, put in extended studs in all three shafts (d30 studs), got out the d30 extra shafts, went through some mud, attempted to tint back glass......failed. tried to find disc converstion parts for the 8.25.....failed. ah and grabbed black windshield trim :D

2360 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 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.
deziped Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Sounds like you should let it idle with the heater on from dec to Mar.
ComancheKid45 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Fixed a poor ground wiring job on the radio from the P.O. on the Eliminator. :wrench:

2360 Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 your grill is upside down! 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.
knever3 Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Drove it to work last night, got out at 7am, went to Home Depot and bought plywood insulation and plumbing supplies. I really love those tie down rings inside the bed!!
dasbulliwagen Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 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.
comanche12 Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 ordering new shocks for front axle :banana: maybe will order tapered bearing with seal for rear axle and buy new battery this week edit: decided to order bearings and wheel hub lockers today too
comanche12 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 bought new battery from work and installed it recently. more parts come up soon :)
