what did you do to your MJ today?

Finished up installing a set of Morel component speakers in the 91. They sound awesome. Noticed that the boot on the drag link is popped and leaking grease... about time I redid the steering anyway.

 

Looked at the 89 and thought about buying it a battery, and then went inside to warm up.

So I failed my equipment inspection for not having a catalytic converter installed.  I soon realized I was going to have to cut all the old piping out because Backyard Bubba snapped a stud of the CAT support bracket, then just said "Screw it!" and stick welded the downpipe, bracket and cat-delete sections together.  Ugh.

 

New exhaust went in this weekend.  Walker piping, cat, and Flowmaster 50.  Found a replacement support bracket at the local U-pull.  I was very impressed with the fit of the Walker piping.  Everything snaked together properly with no modifications other than trimming 3" off the forward end of the tailpipe section to accommodate the FM50.  The sound is great, nice low rumble at idle with no drone in the cab while underway.

It's good to know that Walker stuff fits that well.  Is it all aluminized pipe, or is it just bare steel?  It's a little unclear on their site, but it looks like it has some sort of coating on it in your pictures.

It's aluminized piping.   If you punch in your vehicle specs on their website it should pull up all the part numbers you need.  Click the part number, then the "Tech Specs" tab.

Today, I sold it. [crying intensely inside]

 

In a life transition phase right now, and have no time for extra curricular projects (just had a baby; considering getting a crew cab pickup; needed to make room in the shop for other projects). Wanted to give the Jeep to someone who can appreciate it more than me. MJs are too precious to keep cooped up in the garage all alone. 

 

I fully expect to have another MJ within the year :laugh:. They are just too awesome.

Had my axles regeared and picked up another tailgate. 

 

Also loosely assembled the parts on the rear axle just to see how to see how it looks.

 

Seems like I like it. So I’m gonna give it another coat of paint and fully assemble it.

 

gonna need to order wheel bearings/seals, brakes & hardware, and then hard lines.
