CRF136N Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 -Finished painting my American Racing Baja wheels flat black, and mounted my NEW General Grabber AT2 31x15 R15 tires ( :drool: new tires...they ride so nice...its been so long). -Installed my donor '94 XJ seats (more comfortable than my other buckets) along with my '99 XJ consol; And while I was at it, I used interior paint to paint my donors woodgrain door panels black :D They turned out suprisingly nice -Put my new Grizzly Grip spray in bedliner to the test hauling a bunch of steel and later my dirtbike which spilled gas all over it...this is some tough stuff!!! -Reminded myself -as I do every day- how rediculous my truck looks with those front fender flares white...but then I find some other project before I pull them off and paint them :fs1: Damn thing looks lopsided. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRF136N Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 That white/black look, looks real clean. :thumbsup: Agree, the front fenders need some attention. Thanks! :thumbsup: That WAS my plan from the start with the two colors...but the more I look at it, the more I want the whole thing black :chillin: She may be getting repainted sometime soon :brows: nice door panel. :D Ya, I have never worked with this interior paint before, I feared it would chip or scratch easily, but it doesn't :clapping: I am anxious to do the center consol and get some black seat covers. Then it will be time for a build thread update :cheers: -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Used the MJ this weekend to haul the "refreshments" for my buddies wedding. 120 bottles of miller lite, 40 bottles of bud light, 48 bottles of Yeungling, 24 bottles of corona, 48 8oz bottles of Coke, and 360lbs of ice! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoTGoD Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 After taking a weeks vacation off of work, which translated in to 10 days of work on the MJ, here is where I stand: Ground the ring gear on the 8.8 4.56 gears to allow the center pin to come out Test fit and welded BTF spring perches Installed disc brake backing plates on the wrong sides...removed and reinstalled Installed Spidertrax wheel spacers Drilled out knuckles and installed Rock Krawler X-Factor steering New brake lines all the way around. Installed WJ MC and booster with aluminum spacer. Fits like a glove! Installed external clutch slave. Still need to bleed and test it. Does the bleeder face towards the top, or is it ok on the bottom? Partially installed wiring harness Installed 4 Skyjacker Nitro shocks Installed drop pitman arm Installed 4WD lever and tested linkage. All t-case gears are good. Installed speedo cable in t-case. It appears to be short. Where can I get a new one? If you have one, let me know! Need drive shaft - Going to take TJ front CV shaft and have it lengthened to fit with 1330 u-joint for 8.8. Have SYE installed on t-case now. MJ is sitting on 4 tires now. The bed needs mounted, along with the gas tank and connections. I feel better about it now, but I won't be happy until it is rolling on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoTGoD Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 The bleeder should point up, so that air can escape and not hold an air pocket in there. I thought about it last night and came to same conclusion. Why I didn't figure that out when I installed it is beyond me. Seems like it would be the same thing as brake bleeders, so I must have had a huge brain fart :wall: Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
