what did you do to your MJ today?

Took her down to Bend and then Mt Bachelor. Once there, took the back way around the mountains to Three Creeks/Sisters via an atv trail starting at Todd Lake which fords two small streams. To cover 18 miles took 1.5 hours. Very bumpy, rocky, rutted, lots of elevation change, and led a pack of two other vehicles consisting of a late model white Tacoma 4dr and 10 year old emerald green Ranger. They're all 'oh no a rock, lets go all slow and carefully go around it so we don't ding our precious sheetmetal, putt putt putt'... showed them what a 2wd Comanche with pink pinstripes and canopy missing its back glass can do. Rarrr! ;) Whose your 22 yr old vehicular daddy?!?!?!

 

It snowed on the High Cascades peaks last night, got down to 32 at 3500'. A few shaded puddles still had a crust of ice at 1pm.

I'm in the process of making a fitted fan shround for the WJ electric fan I am installing in my 2.5 MJ. I'm using 2 seprate 2.8 V6 fan shrouds cut down and epoxied to the fan unit itself so it can mount to the original radiator mounting holes. I hope the 2 part epoxy holds up OK. I bought an adjustable temp fan controller, and plan on doing all this when I replace my leaky water pump. I'm curious to see how much of a difference it will make with no crank driven fan in there.

Picked up my drive shaft today. Turned out the new one had a bend to it, so it had to be straightened first, upping the cost a bit.

 

So straightened, cut to length, u joints and yoke installed and balanced for a grand total of $112.50.

 

The Pig is back on the road!

'95 Dual Diaphram Booster and Master Cylinder installed today. HOLY CR*P, this thing has BRAKES now!!! :eek:

 

 

Alright, I gotta ask. It's got to be an optical illusion, but it looks like in your pic that you plumbed the two master cylinder ports together! Made me look twice! :hmm:

 

And also noticed the brake lines are squeezing right against your windshield washer tank. A good fix for that is to install the 1997+ XJ tanks inside the fender well. It leaves some room for other stuff. :thumbsup:
