RockMJ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Works perfectly man. Just pull the brackets off, cut them and flip them around :yes: RockMJ
dfreeman616 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 drove it...since the cherokee needs spider gears in the front axle.
Thunderbear Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Put it back together, and fired it up.
Blue88Comanche Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 test fit the transfer case to the Transmission for photo op, just need transmission mount and i can get Blue running again.. repainted the Grille and light trim, replaced the track bar, and replaced the side mirrors on Dad's MJ
deziped Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Replaced the Crank Position Sensor. It died on me at the store, first time ever, but finally started again after cranking it over about 20 times. Drove it home and tryed to start again numerous times over 3 days, but, it was a no go. Finally put the circuit tester on it and it read DOA. Past 6 months had an annoying little miss in it. Couldn't find casuse of it until today when I put the new CPS in. The miss disappared, now runs smooooth.
Donkey Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 tore out the tranny thinking the pilot bearing was bad turned out it was the clutch disk lost a spring. Sitting at a the shop i was working on it waiting for a new clutch disk to come in. Then will be replacing the pilot bearing since i have it and will be putting on a new oil pan gasket.
mvusse Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Yesterday: Took an NP242 with a SYE started on it (and foobarred) with a 1/4" hole 1/2" deep and off center in the output shaft. That's the reason I got a hold of it for $50. Played around with a Dremel and tungsten-carbide bit fr a few minutes, then up onto the drill press and I now have a 3/8" hole 2" deep within 1/32" of center. Close enough for me. Still need to drill out the hole in the yoke to 1/2" and tap the shaft for a 7/16" bolt. Also went through 2 cutting disks clearancing a WJ lower control arm and corner of a front shock mount on the axle to allow it to droop as far as a stock control arm (actually goes a bit further now). Need to buy some more cutting disks to do the other side. Sparkles is starting to come along.
SW86 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 wheeled it hard. drove it, then noticed my front wheel was wobbling. all the lug nuts were loose! i had drove on it like that for miles too :eek:

RockMJ Posted September 25, 2011 Posted September 25, 2011 Got all my dash lights working!!! And I got a new co-pilot. A seven week old boston terrier we named JP. Short for "Jeep", or Johannes Philonius when hes feeling distinguished haha! here's a photo of the little guy RockMJ
Blue88Comanche Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Picked up a Dana 44 rear axel from a u pull it, along with drivers quarter panel, steering wheel, and chrome grille... Then promptly drank 3 32oz poweraid drinks at the nearest gas station, I have a feeling I will be regreting that tonight.... Painted the base coat on the hood of dads MJ and bought a new key cylinder lock for the former MJ donor... Looks like we will be fixing up an XJ. RockMJ nice little pup, our beagle Chaos, like to hang out with me under the jeeps :D
RockMJ Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 I saw the 44, congrats man! I need to fine one of those, and soon! Thanks for the compliments on JP. He is one fiesty hombre but he loved riding in the Liberty with the wife and I. On a Jeep related note. I am just about ready to start putting the headliner back in and some of the trim molding! RockMJ
MJRemi Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Began swapping parts over from the Black Hole to the Grey Goose. Mostly interior stuff. The PO of the Grey Goose had moved the nice bench seat back to it's farthest setting and WELDED the slider in place. I'm 5' 6" on a good day so the 85 mile drive home was less than optimal. I took the XJ seats from the Black Hole and put them in as a temporary solution. They don't fold forward so I will install folding seats in the next few months.
RockMJ Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Just finished up the headliner and XJ dome light assembly install! RockMJ
Rymanrph Posted September 26, 2011 Posted September 26, 2011 Just realized the NP242 I bought and installed months ago, is actually a NP231. :doh: I feel like an idiot. Details in my build thread.
dfreeman616 Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 rebuilt the front axle in my DD 99xj with all new diff/pinion bearings and seals, 1 new hub, 1 new u-joint (other side is only a year old), and new spider gears. funny thing is it's a 99 truck, with an axle build date in 98, but the outer pinion bearing and race are 96 and older part numbers :hmm: why does this have anything to do with my MJ? this XJ is a future donor...
Thunderbear Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Bought it a place to live. And a place for me to live too..
Boots Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Finished my spare tire mount... When I take it out, there's only a 1/2" hole in the bed. The bottom piece stays in though. The bolt is the same size as the lug nuts. Still need to figure out a way to lock it. What do you guys think? Thanks Chad
deziped Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Replaced the tranny/trf case mount Took the wind up out of the drive line that the worn out mount caused. Installed to 1 1/2" ring tie downs under the bed rails on the fenders as additional strapping points for loads. Removed broken rear diff vent hose only to find the plastic connectors were broken on both ends. Are those things still available at dealers ?
jeepcoma Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Removed broken rear diff vent hose only to find the plastic connectors were broken on both ends. Are those things still available at dealers ? You mean this guy? http://www.teamgrandwagoneer.com/cgi-bi ... 1&catid=95 What kind of driveline problems was the bad mount giving you?

The bolt is the same size as the lug nuts. Still need to figure out a way to lock it. What do you guys think? Thanks Chad can you drill a hole in the bolt and use a small lock? or use a cable that can be put through the bolt and locked?

Thanks Chad can you drill a hole in the bolt and use a small lock? or use a cable that can be put through the bolt and locked? Or you can make a new bolt out of a piece of all thread and a locking lug nut. Then you just use the key and your lug wrench to remove it. That would also work for your High Lift Jack mount as well.
