Automan2164 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Planning on putting her back together? OH yea, back to the original condition, Plus :D It's all there, just the interior is pulled out, and the front clip and fenders are off. He had the box bolted back on, and the doors "screwed" on for the ride, otherwise, all the parts are in the cab, or the back of the van. All OEM - bucket seats, air, tilt wheel, cruse, off road package, rear slider and no Rust at all :drool: Wish I had a tow rig and time... Would have got that one myself. Rob L.
jeepcoma Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 Ordered two rear shocks from rockauto the other day, the came in today so I figured it'd be an easy swap since I've had the shocks on and off so many times nothing was rusted up. (Sensatrack 37029) Broke the passenger upper shock mount :fs1: Just twisted it right off. Arg! The rest was easy. Went for a test ride and the results are great, finally restored ride quality (I was using XJ shocks 37027 which were at full extension with the truck just sitting on the driveway), but I'm not sure what to do to fix the mount. Only the threaded part sheared off, the solid mount remains so the upper eye sits fine in there, I just don't have a good idea to do a fix, either temporary or permanent. Maybe just JB weld it back on there for now and see if it will stick? As long as I don't tighten it too much it should hold. Ugh everything is rusty. When I crawl under there to work it just makes me sick. I was hoping to get the floorboards replaced this summer but ran out of time, now I have to hope they last the winter. Everything in the rear is rusting up. I think I'll buy a few dozen cans of rustolem and just spray everything. As soon as I fix one thing, another breaks. :fs1: :ack: Very disheartening right now when money is tight and I can't fix the truck up the way I'd like... maybe someday.
WBKrazy Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 finally got around to starting the swap! me and mike (comanche87) pulled the 2wd front axle out and the header panel off, then i had to go to work
Lenard Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 took the muffler back off......I'm going to rig it up were i can just bolt/un-bolt it so I'm not welding it back on all the time :D
deziped Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Plugged the elec sw from the 242 into the prewired factory wiring harness that was always taped and tucked away on the AW4. Now the light comes on when I'm in 4WD part time. Wrapped the old vaccumn hoses left over from the 231 swap and taped them up outa the way. Had the front axle in the locked position before I swapped the TC so I suppose it will stay in that position as long as the vaccumn remains applied or not applied which ever it is. If it decides to unlock it self I will take the disconnect apart and lock it over permanently.

Dirteatr717 Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 drove the MJ out of its hole coverd in 2 feet of the nice white stuff(SNOW) and drove to the local park and snowboarded all day and then on the way home made a couple stops in some unplowed parking lots
A_Town_MJ Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 Changed the oil, and played in the sloppy slushy muddy mess that is the local public access site. Then hit up the car wash on the way home. Weds I'm pulling the rear diff cover (painting it) and changing the fluid.
