relyt120 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 That feeling when you get your first paycheck at a new job and can now do more stuff to your MJ :D
relyt120 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Spent about 6 hours (from 5 pm til 11pm) working on a bed swap. I removed tail lights from driver and parts truck, removed gas tank skid plate from both trucks, removed gas tank from both trucks (first one was a bit of a challenge with me stuck holding the almost half full tank for nearly 40 minutes while my friends were trying to figure out what was still holding it :mad: , turns out that just loosening the clamps on the filler neck and vent lines isn't enough, you need to go ahead and get the hoses off the metal part :doh: , second one took about 5 minutes), removed exhaust hanger and spare jack from parts truck, and removed 6 of 8 bed bolts from parts truck and what I thought were the other two bed bolts but as soon as I got them out I thought they weren't, and they weren't, they were the two bolts just ahead or behind maybe the back bed bolts that have to be accessed through the frame, I have to get a longer extension for my ratchet to get these last 2 out. I only got about half way though the swap, it'll be Saturday before I can get back to it and hopefully done. I wish swapping beds was as easy as on my Ranger was, 6 bolts from the top, disconnect taillights and disconnect fuel filler neck and pull it off. My arse is dragging this morning! Be watching your computers for questions I may run in to Saturday morning/afternoon. That stuff ain't no joke I spent 5 hours in a JY trying to get one off.
87MJTIM Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I learned that if you pull out the radio, be careful re-installing it. I was going nuts trying to figure out why my fan stopped working. I knocked the power cord off the heater/AC control :doh: :mad: :oops:
