beepbeepmyredjeep Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Picked up the MJ from a friend who put on new brake shoes, brake cylinders, and tightened my steering column. Need to do an oil change, and it'll be back on the road as a daily driver again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD's it as well, for a 65 year old man he wheels pretty good. He doesn't do nothing wicked but he wheels almost every weekend at the local parks and they never really let him done. I've been impressed a few times with them as well and he runs them on a set of trail ready bead locks and centramatic wheel balancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turboxr Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Picked it up yesterday. Today I swapped the wheels and tires out, washed it, tightened the loose intake manifold bolts, replaced the TPS, wired in an electric fan, and hauled a load of lumber with it. Awesome.

MJRemi Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Configured a metal pole/handle to slip over the end of a plumbers wrench which was clamped onto the yoke of my D44. The pole kept the yoke from turning as I leaned over the breaker bar to loosen the pinion nut. Finally! Now I need to buy a seal puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
