jeff351 Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 that overhead console is most excellent The 98 XJ I am swapping into my MJ has one, I hope mine comes out that nice.
Pete M Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 oh, I do have an update, I upgraded the axle under the half-a-Jeep. because all Jeeps deserve axle upgrades!

Pete M Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 the trailer is made from an 86, so it's period correct too. had to make my own custom MT leafs though.

MancheKid86 Posted September 12, 2022 Posted September 12, 2022 axles and cab painted! will be painting outside some sort of metallic grey how the floor pans turned out!
watchamakalit Posted September 26, 2022 Posted September 26, 2022 I threw the rem in mine quick today. Still need to tidy the wire but its on and working.
fiatslug87 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 After 15 years of black wheels I thought it was time for a change, for that truck at least.

pago cruiser Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Dang! That dog can jump! Assuming the dog is about 2' tall, and the tires are about 5', that's 2.5X his (or her) height. Assuming you are about 6', that would be like you jumping 15' up to the level of a 2nd floor of a bldg. Cute dog.
1990 DAW long bed Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Literally drove an hour after purchasing my 1990 MJ today and smelled a brake/clutch smell after cruising for so long. Turns out my driver side brake we’re smoking when I came to a total stop at a fuel station. After taking the wheel off it was seizing up and extremely hot. Plan on replacing both the front wheel hubs and brake calipers asap.
MancheKid86 Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 thought about working on the jeep and posted the wrong content in this thread lmao

thecodemonk Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 Installed the headlight harness upgrade kit ice had sitting here for years. Lights seem a little brighter at a glance. Will see how it looks at night another night.
gogmorgo Posted November 6, 2022 Posted November 6, 2022 Got my parking brake functional. Couple circlips under the rivet head and a stronger spring for the ratchet pawl. Got the pedal working mint, then just had to deal with both the equalizer bracket and the rear brakes themselves being wildly out of adjustment. Noticeably better brakes on the way home too, despite the first big dump of snow of the season turning the world to garbage.
fiatslug87 Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 Finally properly wired my sport bar lights.
GrandBoost98 Posted November 7, 2022 Posted November 7, 2022 How much weight could you put in the bed of an MJ? My big truck is down for a bit and I have to pick up a fireplace insert soon. It weighs about 450-500lbs. Shouldnt be an issue, right?

The payload on the basic trucks was somewhere are 1500lb.

But it depends on the condition of the vehicle.
