jeepcoma Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 How much for that tailgate handle? :brows: Oh, on the way back home, I stopped off at a junkyard and there was an 88 Comanche. The only thing I grabbed off of it was the tailgate latch, because I know people are looking for these sometimes.
Thunderbear Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Ripped it's head off. And bought it a fan shroud.
Rymanrph Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Wow that's a beauty, Olympic Edition? I bought it a friend. Yep, unfortunately, the stripes were so rough I removed them. I kept the rings for now though.
RockMJ Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I received some more goodies for the MJ. Its been a good week so far :D RockMJ
jimoshel Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Ripped it's head off. And bought it a fan shroud. Did you remove the head bolts first? Just asking.
Blue88Comanche Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Fixed the vacuum problem with Dad's MJ.. The last person to work on it should never touch Jeeps again..
Thunderbear Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Ripped it's head off. And bought it a fan shroud. Did you remove the head bolts first? Just asking. If I could get it off without that step, I'd be able to retire tomorrow.. :rotf:
fiatslug87 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Went "COUNTRY." Door panels and dash surround from a '96 Country edition XJ.
Thunderbear Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 That is EXACTLY what I want my interior to look like, minus the woodgrain and factory stereo. That is exceptional.
RockMJ Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Made a little progress today... Tomorrow I wrap up the front clip RockMJ
RockMJ Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Oh and I refinished the headliner and installed the dome light :D RockMJ
jimoshel Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Replaced the bench seat with buckets from a ''91 MJ. Replaced the instrument cluster with a full panel from a '89.
Blue88Comanche Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 bought a 1989 4wd Cherokee Limited as a donor for my MJs. $400 well spent Red, gets an engine, steering wheel and column, floor shifter, drive shaft Black, gets fenders, doors, 4wd, and full cluster Blue, gets retractable hood light, factory fog lamp harness
RockMJ Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Picked up a "new" tailgate! Completely rust and dent free on both sides. I'm so happy with it. Now it needs paint, some bedliner, and new decals and its go time! RockMJ
mvusse Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Put the Aussie back together with a new spacer to replace the broken one and installed in the carrier. Yes, I managed to break an Aussie locker last trip offroad. And as unusual it is to break them in the first place, I broke it in a (according to Bill Cole from Torq Masters) very unusual way.

Now it needs paint, some bedliner, and new decals and its go time! RockMJ i got my decals from jeepsticker.com, they have several colors as well as reflective (what i got) he can also do some custom decal work as well
RockMJ Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Awesome thanks for the info! I also started putting my front clip back together after all the paint work and new parts RockMJ
Thunderbear Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Got a link to those Delta conversions?
tbrand Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 I finally ponied up for a new cat, so I could pass emissions. State of Idaho was threatening to revoke my registration. :D Of course, my MJ passed with flying colors. It didn't even cheat this time! When I bought it in AZ, it passed emissions by sending most of the exhaust through the bottom of the muffler.
RockMJ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Got a link to those Delta conversions? I picked them up off eBay for about 115$ shipped. I cannot find the item in the sellers store otherwise I would post up the link. But these lights are bright and will suffice until I do an HID conversion. On a similar note, I got a lot of work done today on the MJ. I modified a set of factory fog lights from my LJ to work with the MJ's stock bumper and put some more of the front end together. I also sanded and painted the grille, un-dented the front bumper and painted it. RockMJ
RockMJ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I almost have the front end finished up but here's a quick picture of it all together. I still need to run the wiring for the LJ fog lights but its all finished for the most part. And a very important before and after picture from when I got it to what it is today. Woohoo! RockMJ
SW86 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 yay! common sense kicked in and you fixed the grill!! :banana: nothing gets to me more then an upside down grill. i mean really people.......... the lights look good :thumbsup:
RockMJ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah, that was the PO lol. The day I got it I flipped it and I pointed it out to him and he looked at it and said it looked fine to him haha. Thanks for the compliments man, its been a lot of work sanding and refinishing all the parts, but its getting there! RockMJ
dfreeman616 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 i'll have to do that with LJ fog lights i have sitting around...
