what did you do to your MJ today?

[Parker]

Ordered trans shift cable. Had the girlfriend turn it around and back it up to my shop with me picking gears from underneeth. Finished stripping down and cleaning up the 8.8 for it.

 

Maybe posting on here will keep me motivated. Lol

:banana:

did away with the pair of 150w KC sealed beam lights over the cab to a pair of 27w/30* LED'S mounted down at the windshield (like a wrangler) they are brighter and don't draw the battery down.

Did the cylinder head freeze plugs....

 

 

[Moore89Comanche]

Took the Comanche out for a drive, heard a new knocking coming from the front right. Decided to pull over to check it out. On the left turn, the front right tire popped off and rolled away  :(. Had to get her towed away 

[Tex06]

Drove it and ordered some 10W-30 from wally world for my tranny.  Will be changing the AX-15 fluid and greasing the chassis tonight before a road trip tomorrow!

[deziped1]

Put new hubs  w/bearings, calipers and pads on the front today.  Tomorrow will pick up 4 shocks to smooth out the ride a little.   

[jpdriver1]

let it rest in the carport and took sons wrangler to a "go topless day" event. 

 

have found when I take the mj to an event, I can barely get parked before the camera hounds show up --- usually we are the only mj there.

Drove it to church this morning. Ran good. Everything worked as it should (except, of course, fuel gauge, AC and cruise). Fuel gauge and AC are in the "to do" list. Cruise tends to lock on and accelerate and not disengage regardless of switch position, brake or clutch pedal use. Can be quite exciting so it's disconnected. There's a glitch in the wiring that I haven't been able to track down.

Other than that, it's another wonderful day in MJ land!

[MancheKid86]

updated its build thread, hahaha cyber jeeping

[outlaw star]

Stuck this on the tailgate to confuse the hell outta people.

[jpdriver1]

Pulled the dash to remove and replace a leaking heater core --- yeah I know it's SoCal, what do I need a heater for.     :yes:   :rotfl2:

 

1. needed to clean out the desert silt.

 

2. JP magazine needed an article. I'll provide publication date when I receive it from them. 

 

3. Just for the heck of it.

They used to use D44s and such in 1-ton trucks.  But that was a long time ago.  And probably not what he's talking about.

 

Metric Ton D44 rear???

[jpdriver1]

went out to the KMC Jeep Bash in Long Beach Ca ---- out of approx 250 vehicles there were only 7 non wranglers

 

sign on hood was a print out of the build sheet and basic info ----

After talking with one of the guys from Dynatrac, his co-worker asked him what an MJ was --- Cheechaka's (newbies) are fun eh?

Picked up mine locally from a dealership, although they had to order it in....two times.  PITA.  Anyhow, I chose to use the huge Wix 51773 filter. 

 

Yea, that sucker was on there good.  Took some effort to break her loose.

did you consider turning the adapter either 90* or 180* (pointing left or down)?

[Keyav8r]

Took her on her second road trip - Trussville to Scottsdoro to Birmingham to Trussville at 70 - 75 MPH most of the trip.  Got 18.9 MPG.  Not bad for a 91 truck with 180K on the clock.

 No.  It's an 89.  I can't turn it back, forward or down.  No room.
