jons87mj Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 fixed the windowipers so know i can see out the window :D
ComancheKid45 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Brought the freshly painted "Wood Truck" up to the house :clapping:
MiNi Beast Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 measured for the steering as be tapping the dom for it tomorrow. got the stuff for my new tail lights. :D
partsmj Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I was going to bolt in some bucket seats and a console, but I decided to pull the carpet before it was too late. It was too late.
SW86 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 I was going to bolt in some bucket seats and a console, but I decided to pull the carpet before it was too late. It was too late. i seriously hate it for you but i can't stop laughing at that statement :rotf:
MJRemi Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I installed 2" coil spacers up front and TRIED to install new motor mounts. When I removed the left one, the engine shifted about 1/2" forward so now I have to figure out how to push it back to line up the mounts. YIPEE!!
tbrand Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I installed 2" coil spacers up front and TRIED to install new motor mounts.

Motor mounts are next on my list - let me know if you come up with any brilliant solutions.
MiNi Beast Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 use a long pry bar. or just hook up a cherry picker and do both at the same time.
deziped Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 Took MJ & rodeo seat brackets and combind pieces to put to gather a set so I can set the Rodeo buckets in the MJ. Image Not Found Image Not Found Then I changed the oil in the Honda so its ready for our 1800 mile run down to LA & San Diego (maybe Tijuana) & back in about 2 weeks. Image Not Found
MJRemi Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 use a long pry bar. or just hook up a cherry picker and do both at the same time. I've had zero luck using a 5' digging bar. The engine really does not want to line up with the engine bay mount locations. I have a feeling this truck had an accident in it's previous life and tweaked about 1/2". I borrowed my neighbors hoist but I'm not sure how to lift up on the engine without the strap causing damage to something on the driver side. The hoist has a chain with a hook but wouldn't that squeeze the strap, thus squeezing everything it contacts? :dunno: Any advice is welcome.
dfreeman616 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 replaced the steering wheel with a grant one i had lying around, fixed the driver side door lock linkage so i can use the lock from inside without the key, re-wired the left door speaker (i have 97+doors) so i have audio again, reinstall some trim on the dash so it looks less hack, tighten shift knob, replace rear view mirror due to haziness, and get new u-bolts/centering pins for the b@stard pack i'm building to get me by for awhile longer. all with the help of my assistant, seen here check out his aunt's car.
jpdriver1 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 finally broke down and mounted the cb in the ashtray slot -- next will be the 2m/440 gear
johnnyc Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Wired up a winch wireless remote control that I got from Roadless Gear. Works great and cost $10 less than Warn's wireless remote.
MJRemi Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 Finally got the engine mounts in. Due to the 1/2" misalignment, the rubber on the L mount is a little distorted but it should function just fine. I had to pry the mount into place from underneath and it was my 20th attempt that got it.
cluricaunne Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I discovered that a pair of lowering shackles from the parts house will lift the rear of an MJ about 2.5 - 3 inches. Hooray for budget lifting.
comanche12 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 its grow on me! its will be my next project if my bed start get out of shape. :cheers:
dfreeman616 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 :wrench: rebuild the left leaf spring with some spare leaves i had sitting around while it was still on the truck. install kenwood cd player with aux in jack on front to replace the sony cassette player that was in it.
mvusse Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Ordered an Aussie for the rear axle. Supposed to be here day after tomorrow :banana:
Fezzik Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 Got the dome lights working with the door switches again, (ok did that earlier in the week) and re-wired up the radio, to find out it was a complete hack job, just electrical tape holding the wires together, and replaced one speaker that wasn't working in the door, now I need to get me some 4x6 to replace the one in the b-pillar that isn't working, um, replaced the shifter boot because my old one was all torn up, and tightened this shifter knob so hopefully that won't rattle any more.
COMJNUT Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 installed new passenger side u-joint, works a lot better than the one that had dry caps...completely dry.
hick92 Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 well i jacked up the drivers rear so i could pop the tire back on the bead then i pumped the craftsman air compressor up to 120psi just to have the 300psi rated hose burst
Rymanrph Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 Put a new fender on it and removed some more pieces in preparation for paint. Hopefully work will start mid-end next week.
