mm's mj Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Replaced the starter - pushed it way beyond my first notice of a problem and still got lucky enough to fix it at home instead of having it fail in some parking lot somewhere. Was surprised to see a Mitsubishi label on the old piece. Sometimes I feel more like an archeologist when I work on the truck, just peeling back the layers of years of curious repairs and replacement work. It's never boring.

TNT Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Cut out the top of my raised inner fenders and started reworking them for another inch of space. The cutoff wheel, torch and welder have been my main toys... Let's not forget the BFH thou. :brows: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 applied my 12" ComancheClub.com decal in the lower left of my rear window, and a Great Lakes 4x4 decal in the right side of the rear window :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Added 2" lift blocks I had laying around to my XJ. Before: After: I also replaced a bad front axle U joint yesterday and noticed the (1994) shaft itself is quite a bit thicker than my original (1987) MJ axles. Why would they redesign axles make them bigger and I assume stronger, if the weak point is the 5-260x U joints? Inspected the rear brakes as well. Driver side needs a new adjuster, everything else is A-OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I cut the drivers side firewall out of the 97 XJ and modified it to cover the stock holes in the MJs firewall. It came out looking factory. Now I can run the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 successfully recovered my friend's cherokee...which easily weighs 1000 lbs more than my truck with the exo cage, winch, etc. on it. my tires were bald. also, not so succesfully, attempted to recover a full size 90's bronco, which weighs 5800lbs. the rescue truck was stupid and had bald tires, so he got stuck trying to get to the property we were at (friend's house near his field). go figure, it's a ford. then on the way out, I got stuck...everyone was attempting to get the "rescue vehicle" un-stuck, so I figured I'd rock it out. I did, but it seems like it may have cost me an aw4. so, looks like we may be able to chalk up an aw4 to my long list of blown transmissions :clapping: the trans is draining now, I will be flushing it and putting lucas trans fluid in to see if I can get her to make it a while longer. was real doggy on the way out lol. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche87 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 i put my truck on the lift at work to make sure the bolts for the front diff were tight. i ended up snapping one of upper bolts that bolt it into the unibody. i was sooo pissed. but at least i had spare ones at maddzz1's house. had to borrow a car to go get it. yay!!

CWLONGSHOT Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I made my patch panels for the MJ frame and took off my rear shocks. I am altering the mount so I don't have to tip them at such a steep angle. (They work better straighter.) CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
