what did you do to your MJ today?

I figured the sawzall would bend the steel, and my angle grinder doesn't like going around corners. I did use a cut off wheel. 27 of them to be exact. Total cost would be around $5, and I still have 9 more left; about 20 minutes work, 10 of which was replacing wheels on the dremel.

Put the wheel spacers back on.

 

Have a few hundred road miles on the new rear axle, drive shaft, brakes and suspension set up. Going to JeepSkool next weekend for a shakedown run, and then the Cable Creek Adventure the weekend after.

Hit the JY again today to feed the MJ addiction...

 

Found a '90 XJ with AX-15 and NP231!!! But it was completely covered/caked in mud/ dirt... Not sure of the condition and the shifter was removed and looks like some dirt got down in the tranny... Should I grab this??? Any idea on how to easily clean it to get it unbolted? (in the JY)

 

Picked up a 27 spline driveshaft yoke, 97 XJ Oil pan, color matched vanity sun visors and GM lighted rearview mirror...

Yesterday I installed a factory AMC Electronic tuning AM/FM cassete radio that I pulled out of a 1986 CFC Wagoneer, though I don't have speakers wired in yet. I also installed a cig lighter, and a quartz clock for the same vehicle. With the clock, I found the factory plug for one in my 87, but the connector was different so i spliced into the wires and hooked in the original connector. The clock worked for about two minutes, long enough for me to set the time on it and test the lights, then it just went dark. So much for that. And today I went into work to put my wagoneer front end on. I got it all installed along with a power antenna and chrome front bumper. Also installed a sway bar from a Cherokee country. I have yet to drive it enough to see if I can tell any difference. Ill give more details and before and after pics in my build thread " Comanche Limited".
