Thunderbear Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Bought it some parts! And finally picked up TJs brake release. Thanks, man!
banshee Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 new aluminum three core radiator to arive the 15th, two wheels drilled for beadlock studs, CC sticker installed on window 'pics to follow' issues with camera cord... B...
Thunderbear Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Installed TJs brake release yesterday. Today was new thermostat, new PCV, rad flush/remix, and new upper rad hose. The lower seems to be new. Realigned the right front headlight, only to have the "sealed" beam unseal itself into two pieces in my hands. Siliconed it up and back into place.
tbrand Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Why did you paint the terminals on the distributor cap and the spark plugs?
cody4359 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Why did you paint the terminals on the distributor cap and the spark plugs? so they won't corrode :thwak: :doh:
Rymanrph Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I made some more room for it in the garage. I had the XJ donor hauled away and I loaded up the bed with all the left over parts I couldn't sell. Some of it went to the dump, the rest will go to the scrap yard on Monday.
AMCJeepMJ Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Began the disassembly of the rear suspension of the 87 to put in 4-leaf leaf packs. Repainted gloss black, with fresh Energy Suspension bushings and 1.5" lift shackles from Motion Offroad:
jimoshel Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Stuck it in a gully East of town. Was out 'just driven around' when I went into a gully about 2ft deep by 3ft across. Saw the gully but couldn't stop or turn in time.Buried, and bent, the right front bumper back into the tire. It was my 2wd '87. After digging and burning rubber for 3 hours realized it was hopeless and started walking the 10-15 miles back to the house to get "Goldie" the '77 J20. Hadn't gone a mile when a guy showed up in his Jacked up Chevy. He was probably the second person to drive out there in 6 months, me being the first. Backed up to it, hooked up a chain and one big yank and was out. We started talking and he mentioned he needed a radiator for his daughters' '89XJ. The radiator's sitting on the steps waiting for him to come get it, Gratis. :wavey:
AMCJeepMJ Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 Installed the above pictured springs [very stiff], resulting in it riding high in the back. Looks low in the front even though it has a 1" lift over stock. Think it may be time for rear brake lines- not much slack left after the lift.
tbrand Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 After doing the axle-side u-joint two months ago, the transmission-side u-joint gave up the ghost. This time, I borrowed a ball-joint/u-joint press from OReilly's, and it made the job much easier. Still a pain to pull the shaft though - I should have just fixed this one last time.
RockMJ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Ordered a bunch of parts: Door handles, headlight switch, weatherstripping, interior lights, etc. Also made the pile of re-finished interior parts grow! I only have a few more panels to clean and paint before its all done. Next is to get seats, a new steering wheel, shift knob, POR-15 the floors and bedliner it. Its getting there! RockMJ
AMCJeepMJ Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Retorqued the new u-bolts which were installed this weekend. Measured the ride height today, and have: 1" lift in the front 3.5" lift in the rear
MiNi Beast Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 started pulling my doner engine last night about 6pm then swapped it in the mj, so no more gutless smokey 4.0. as of 8am this morning i have a new engine in the rig. now to get some damn sleep.
Boots Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Built a mount for my Hi-lift. Image Not Found Still need to find some one with really long arms to hold the backing plate up there so I can put the top bolts in. Image Not Found Image Not Found The bolts that hold the jack on the mount are the same size as the lug nuts so I can use my lug wrench to take it off.

RockMJ You posted pictures of your interior painting? I have to do that soon. Are you changing colors or just freshening up?

Can I suggest a nut and a lock instead of two regular nuts for theft deterrence? It's the one reason I don't mount my Hi-Lift outside of my TJ.
RockMJ Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Replaced my dry rotted door seals and got a set of Bushwackers in the mail! Good day in my book RockMJ
