RockMJ Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Pics as requested. These arent the finalized versions yet but they are getting to where I'm happy with them RockMJ
RockMJ Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 And today I ordered up 700$ worth of replacement oem goodies and some aftermarket stuff for the MJ. WOOT! RockMJ
RockMJ Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 I just received my Grant steering wheel complete kit. Will be installing it later today :D RockMJ
btm24 Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 Do them cluster decals let light though? How are you applying them? If you would like to pm me because that's cool :D it just might take me a while to get back with you I've been crazy busy :( thanks Brandon
RockMJ Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 The stock backing doesnt allow light through so these won't either. The lighting on them isnt affected at all over the stock ones. I am still working out the configuration of them right now so printing them is a ways off. Probably going to use a heavy gloss card stock thats laminated with a sticky back or double sided tape. The screws that hold the oem overlays in place will work just fine if I didnt want to put any adhesive on them. It should look really, really sharp RockMJ

I'd be interested in buying a set when you think you are finished with the design details. -mel
RockMJ Posted September 10, 2011 Posted September 10, 2011 here's my progress for today. Column is repainted to match the interior changes and the new steering wheel is installed! meljr, yeah I am also going to be making a set of white ones to see which I like better. So far, I'm loving the look RockMJ
camjeep3 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 pulled a cj5 out of a pond... then drove mine through it.... then tried again and got stuck :wrench:
RockMJ Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Finished up my custom gauge overlay. Decided to go with a white backing. It is finished and looking amazing RockMJ
Automan2164 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Finished up my custom gauge overlay. Decided to go with a white backing. It is finished and looking amazing RockMJ You try it with red needles? Would be pretty slick. IMHO. Rob
RockMJ Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 I thought about it but it doesnt match the rest of what I'm doing. I'm going to see how well the needles are illuminated at night and if need be ill change the colors up. So far its looking promising RockMJ
RockMJ Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 Not a problem to make one up. I just have an aftermarket tachometer in mine and my OEM cluster didnt have one. Send me some PM's if you guys want so we keep the thread clutter down :D RockMJ
btm24 Posted September 11, 2011 Posted September 11, 2011 All my extra time has been spent on her this week end. Sneak peek :D Brandon
foreman1063 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Replaced the shredded serpentine belt, and the water pump. Can't believe the water pump was still pumping, the pulley flange and impeller were about to fall off. Also, only two bolts were holding the WP pulley on, and they were about to fall out. :doh: Glad I caught it before all hell broke loose. The biggest pain in the butt was getting the cooling system burped, took a while but all's well now.
mvusse Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Broke a front axle shaft. Turned out axle shafts are fine. Broke the Aussie Locker.
SW86 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 nice! haha how did you manage to do that one?
mvusse Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Lost my patience trying to climb a ledge that denied me.
Blue88Comanche Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Changed the spark plug wires on the Dad's MJ
jeepcoma Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Drove it home FINALLY :banana: :cheers: Brought it in 4th of July weekend for some serious repairs to the floor and rocker panels and it was finished and paid for TODAY! More details and pics later but just glad to have it back! So now I can start looking for the replacement rugs and bench. Oh and the bed sides are rotting away still so that needs a fix or replacement, plus total underside rustproofing before the winter. And the slack in the drivetrain didn't fix itself, or the shuddering when letting the clutch out from a stop. Plus all those engine gaskets and harmonic damper I bought three months ago and haven't had a chance to install yet. New clutch, new flywheel, new... wait! This sucks!! :fs1: :doh: Always glad to have a Jeep project to look forward too. :cheers:
SW86 Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 swapped in the 8 slot grill from the 21. kind of don't like it. ordered up a nice treat for him today too. they'll come in handy on the rocks
jimoshel Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Pulled the bench seat and installed a set of buckets from 91 MJ. In the process discovered the front inside mounting pad is sunk into the floor, collects water and rusts.
jeepcoma Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Is that an AMC Eagle off to the right there? lmao, here's another shot of the front of the truck since it seems like you liked it :thumbsup: :rotf: :yes: lol who am i kidding, i figured some one would point that out sooner or later :rotfl2:
jeepcoma Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Wow that's a beauty, Olympic Edition? I bought it a friend.
