MJRemi Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 Dropped it off at an Auto Electric shop to solve the wiper and blower issues. He called and said the power distribution panel was corroded and needs replacing along with the main wire harness. YIKES!

Rob Yup, I just accept that many of the MJs electronics won't work... And when they do it is just a plus. Makes me glad I have manual locks/windows/mirrors

Rob :agree: exact same issue with me but i did maunal bypass power supply to blower and wiper for temper. even to brake switch too until I'm go remodel the interior so i can fix the clutch master syndrome same time :clapping: what did i do with my mj is checking all my fluid and let it run to make sure battery is still alive after sit on driveway for an while. gotta to get liscense and sticker asap before drive it again!
duster1971 Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Hmm let's see pulled a busted isuzu with it. Put comanche club windsheild decal on yester day. Checked to see if lincolin rims wuld fit on it they do but spacers wuld be nice. And got som 31s for it aswell bfg at-ta baha champs. 50$
2360 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Broke my rear shock stud mount today. So, decided to hack the rest off. Drilled the biggest hole I could muster with what was available. Wrapped the bolt with some tape for a snug fit in the shocks rubber insulator. This temporary fix hopefully will last for a while. Today I also rewired my driving lights. They're to bright to drive around town so I hooked the two lights in series (24V) to dim them down. I'm guessing they will be dim like BMW's corona ring lights.

I'm guessing they will be dim like BMW's corona ring lights. Correct me if I am wrong, but when wiring lights in series they only get half the voltage since they share the load? Series and Parallel Connections Connecting Components There are two ways of connecting components: In series so that each component has the same current. The battery voltage is divided between the two lamps Each lamp will have half the battery voltage if the lamps are identical. In parallel so that each component has the same voltage. Both lamps have the full battery voltage across them. The battery current is divided between the two lamps.
2360 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Correct me if I am wrong, but when wiring lights in series they only get half the voltage since they share the load? V=I x R My understanding is, the voltage is constant, (12v) therefore the current is halved (hence the dim lights) and the resistance of the lights is doubled being in series. :smart:
btm24 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Got 48' of steel today for my bumpers and rocker rails :clapping: $400 delivered to my door step. Now it begins Brandon
btm24 Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 Changed the rear brake pads with new ceramic brake pads. Took about an hr or so not bad since its the first time ive ever done it before. Brandon

Brandon noticed any difference after replace to ceramic? Maybe a bit I'm not sure, not even close to as much of a difference as having the disk brakes in the rear instead of drums. I did it not so much to make more braking power (which I'm sure it did) but so that the pads would last a lot longer and not put out so much brake dust :ack: Do I think its worth it? Yes! I will also be doing this the to front pads when they need new pads also. Brandon

V=I x R My understanding is, the voltage is constant, (12v) therefore the current is halved (hence the dim lights) and the resistance of the lights is doubled being in series. :smart: Your both right. When in series each light will only get half the voltage and current it would receive if hooked up by itself. Therefore each light will only be putting out 25% of its rated output.
MiNi Beast Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 install the passenger seat and bout done with the driver seat. :wrench: day shot of the new set up as well. :yes:
MJRemi Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 I managed to score a free "fixed" wing window so I replaced my pivot wing (driver side) to reduce wind noise and water seepage. Now I need to find a good deal on the passenger side.

So if need the glass let me know. :thumbsup:

So if need the glass let me know. :thumbsup: I think the fixed and pivots are slightly different regarding the rubber and plastic mouldings, which is what causes the issues I'm having. Thank you for the offer but I will grab a fixed assembly at JY or on CL.
jpdriver1 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 certainly nothing as exciting or worthwhile as you guys -- but I did load it and a trailer up and moved 617 miles to So Calif. sure am glad it is a metric tonne -- :banana:
ComancheAssault Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Changed a flat tire. Found a piece of twisted metal on the flat tire. Also, took out the Husky mats for cleaning. It was like three months since I cleaned them.
COMJNUT Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 put new leaf springs on the rear...now it has a raked look...don't know whether to lessen the arch a little or raise the front to match... :hmm:
btm24 Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 If they are new leafs then they will lower a bit after riding around with stuff in the bed. Or if you want the springs to go down faster then put a 4 wheeler in your bed for a few days. But I don't think you need to make the front any higher since the back will lower over time. Brandon
MiNi Beast Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 just crank up the torsion keys and level it out. :doh:
pineymike Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Wheeled the snot out of itAt raush creek all weekend What a great weekend we went up to raush on friday camped,wheeled allday sat,camped,wheeled sunday,drove home sunday after noon! goin' again soon anybody here intrested in meetin' up for some trail ridin' let me know & I'll post the date as soon as we decide when were goin'!
FlexdXJ Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Looked at it and walked in the house. Its raining outside, No work on her today! :(
