Minuit Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 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.

DesertRat1991 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little unclear on their site, but it looks like it has some sort of coating on it in your pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

north9ish Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Today, I showed it to some one who was interested in buying it but they didn't bite. So now I'm putting it back up on craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jargon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 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 . They are just too awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuit Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Last weekend, I woke it up and made it do work right away. Had to air up the front tires. Then I gave it another radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Put a new skinny pedal in this afternoon. Felt like it added about 25HP since it's so firm and opens up the throttle body WIDE-OPEN now. There goes my mileage, but who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrapneltyphoon Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Started pulling entire interior. Dash disintergrated upon removal so now have a nice pile of maroon dust to cleanup. And discovered exactly how big the hole was in the floorboard. So all in all an interesting day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanLemons Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 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.
