tj21 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 Finally figured out my MAP sensor vacuum line wasn't plugged in. Put a new one on and improved my gas mileage from a consistent 4 mpg up to 10 mpg after a hilly 40 mile trip, mostly in 3rd gear. She's starting to run like a real truck now. 4?? Holy $#!&. I thought 17 in my TJ wasn't so hot.. With gas at about $4 / gallon and my mileage at 4 mpg, it made it easy to calculate trip costs: 1 mile = $1. Failed emissions test today. 220 max hydrocarbons allowed, I came in at 4960.
dfreeman616 Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 get a raised receiver tongue for my hitch, now my tow dolly doesn't scrape every pump even when it's empty. also yanked an '01 silhouette to my shop with the MJ, gonna fix it and sell it off.
Thunderbear Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 New valve cover and the oddest gasket I've ever seen. Ziptied the reverse light harness away from the exhaust. Inspection maybe?

AMCJeepMJ Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Put a set of satin black Cherokee Sport wheels on with new 235/75s. Too bad they're only 4 ply instead of 6 ply tires. Regardless, smooth as silk at 75.
jimoshel Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Pulled a 4.0 from a '98 XJ to put in a '88 MJ. Had to. The hole in the block where the rod punched thru kept leaking oil.
banshee Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Quick question how did that happen? B... Pulled a 4.0 from a '98 XJ to put in a '88 MJ. Had to. The hole in the block where the rod punched thru kept leaking oil.
jimoshel Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 I didn't do it. Bought it about a week ago that way. Fella said his kid did it. Had it buried in a mud hole and was racing the engine to get out. Postmortem says it didn't have any, or was low on oil.
Boots Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Sand blasted and painted new bumper... Going to installed tomorrow. :wrench:

Jerry Forrester Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Today, he got a new battery. The battery he had was 6 years and 11 months old. Not bad, huh? Wasn't completly dead but he sure was cranking slow. Now I gotta reset the clock and all the radio stations.
jimoshel Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Removed the piece of cardboard I placed in front of the Radiator last November. It was gettin' kind of warm in this 100+ degree heat we been getting lately. :thwak:
Jerry Forrester Posted July 2, 2011 Posted July 2, 2011 Put my 'manche to work today. Make him earn his keep. He's a work truck Had to cut the grass at 4 rental houses today. Why is it the tenants can't keep their own grass cut. I'm 68 years old. I'm getting too old to do this in 95 degree weather. ;-) later, Jerry

mnkyboy Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Today I replaced the hinges on the drivers door and cut out my door striker that some previous owner with no clue tried to repair. I got a new striker in and rebuilt the sheet metal around it then rehung both doors,now both of my doors open and close correctly and my drivers door seals like it should.

huntinandhopin Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Put it to work. MIL car broke down (96 Geo Metro)...fuel pump went out. So BIL and myself go over to the next town to take a look at it. We ended up towing it to my house using my truck. I get the pleasure of replacing the fuel pump tomorrow. I also added a diamond plate toolbox to it.
