TNT Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 tim, how's your recovery going? and just because you can't work on it, doesn't mean that I can't come and do the work while you guide me to what you want done! I'm busy this weekend but more than willing to spend a weekend on it the following. Sounds good. Recovery is slow that's why I'm up this late, more pain pills. My body tells me when 4 hours have gone by. I'm off of work until April 14th minimum now. Just give me a call sometime, I'm a prisioner here since I can't drive. BTW I need the number for the guy with the V-8 for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Pulled the rear axle out of the donor truck, cleaned it, painted it, installed the new stainless braided brake line, cleaned and inspected the rear brakes which look like new, and then temporarily put it back under the donor, SOA.... it looks cool like that, can't wait till I do it for real!

ren Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Adopted an '88 MJ that some one dumped in my driveway. BEFORE I got to go anywhere... :fs1: :fs1: At least let me LEAVE the house before stuff gets dropped off. Oh well. The title is junked and it is a base "sportruck" anyway... anybody need 2.5 stuff? I thinkthat I know what farm it came from, so the title IS junk. But, it has a better bed than mine, a bedliner, with tailgate piece, factory slider window, and a grey interior with mini console and bench seat. Lots of color match parts there. And a friend wants me to come over tomorrow and haul off the Grand Waggy behind the barn.... :cheers: More parts, just in time for the weekend. :banana: :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ren Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Damn, that bites. Is the MJ not fixable at all, or do you not want to chop the framerails and rebuild it? I manged to bend one side "up" so I pulled the bed, relief cut the frame rail, and pressed down on it with a backhoe. I then welded/plated the cut and called it a day.

watchamakalit Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Couldn't stand the look of a magnet mount antenna on my mj. So tonight I made a mount and installed the firestick. Looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted February 28, 2009 Author Share Posted February 28, 2009 gave the keys to my bro and took the keys for this p.s. I don't know why anyone complains about lost visual clearance from a snorkel...it didn't hinder my vision at all (matter of fact, I could only see the very top...the end tube intake thingy lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue XJ Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I took the tcase out to rebuold it. Took the exhaust off to finish welding all the joints. Pulled the rear axle off to rotate the perches to eliminate my shims and to put a set of Yukon allys and all new bearings and seals in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Finally got the waterdams in the doors after procrastinating for over a month. Surprising what a good job they do keeping out road noise. While I was in there also fixed the the driver side power window from slamming to a stop on the way up. Turned out the nylon bushings on the weird bolt assembly that holds the regulator to the glass were toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 camo-covered the headliner, installed it with the OHC and vanity wiring, fixed the low beams (pin came loose in the turn signal switch), swapped out the broken pass. tail light, fixed the power door locks, wired the interior lights. swapped a tie-rod on my buddy's MJ, tightened down his drag-link and trackbar ends, swapped out the driver's seat base foam because the base was sagging and cracked, and put my tube bumper on the front of it. then started sanding the "new" fenders, hood, and front clip for the 87. yesterday I stripped down the 3800's block to nada, my dad's having it dipped at work along with the heads once I get them stripped. pics tomorrow (they won't be fuzzy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPB Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 tore everything out of the front end, and snapped a brand new grade 8 bolt, I guess a 3/4" drive impact is overkill for a 3/8" bolt. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
