AMCJeepMJ Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Finished making my rear bumper brackets to mount my XJ rear bumper... So, uh, where you going to mount up a license plate and required lighting so its 'legal'?
dasbulliwagen Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Finished making my rear bumper brackets to mount my XJ rear bumper... So, uh, where you going to mount up a license plate and required lighting so its 'legal'? I have yet to figure that out, I will at least make a bracket to mount that stuff to, but a buddy of mine says he has one that may work for me, so I'm waiting on him to dig it up, In the pic the bumper was mounted temporary, as can be seen in my build thread in the projects section "Comanche Limited". There is some adjustment built into this setup, and I plan to paint the end caps satin black to match the trim on the rest of the truck. Ill post more pics when I figure out the plate situation and get it mounted permanent. My plan also is to make a semi hidden hitch to go along with this. I needed the bumper in place before I can start that though.
skaterguy58 Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 snagged a legitimate cap for my clutch master cylinder reservoir. Also snagged a few blue buzz boxes so I know when i leave my headlights on, started gathering parts for installing factory power locks.
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I wheeled it!! (Pop drove most of the trail) Fun trip, basically just a class6 road. With some minor rock and lots of ice water/mud crossings. CW
mvusse Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Oil change, check and top off all other fluids (except gas. Low fuel light is on :grin: ) I then cut my front fenders some more, and trimmed some off the lower ends of the rear fender flares. Fully stuffed the rear tires will rub slightly on the inside plastic, but removing that will expose (sharp) sheet metal. Front tires are okay as long as I go straight. Slight rubbing on the shock towers, but no biggie. Turning, however will be problematic as the wheel well itself is in the way pretty much everywhere. Going to have to bumpstop :(
MjAllTheWay Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Went out today to see what the new sway bar discos would do and thought thay did good But i don't really know what is good What do u think

mvusse Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Yup! Last post on page 93 (two pages back). Out of balance wheel set it off (Clump of muddy ice inside of tire), out of grease track bar axle end, worn out heim track bar frame end, loose track bar frame bracket bolts and loose steering box bolts allowed it to happen. She handles better and tighter than it ever has since I got it two years ago. Despite 9.5" more ground clearance.
89eliminator Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 awesome!! we need the gratuitous fork lift flex shot!
MjAllTheWay Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 but i don't have a fork lift so i can't wish i could.
mvusse Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Actually had it on the lift earlier tonight, but no camera. Will take a pic tomorrow as I have to pull it into the shop again anyway to replace a bad wheel stud that I've been driving with since last Augusts or so. I did measure 34" underneath the wheel I picked up.
89eliminator Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 but i don't have a fork lift so i can't wish i could. sorry, i was talking to mvusse. you got some good articulation going too.
one_bad_MJ Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 replaced the thermostat and gasket, because when i bought it there was no heat and i removed the housing and found the stock thermo in 2 pieces i never seen one snap like that. now i have heat yay!
mnkyboy Posted February 2, 2010 Posted February 2, 2010 Pulled out the broken CAD D30,so i can put in my non disco,ABS D30 :cheers:

mvusse Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Replaced wheel stud. For real this time. Truck is finally all fixed again, for now.
skaterguy58 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Replaced the 20 year old paper factory speakers with some pioneer speakers from walmart. Not a fan of pioneer speakers but for $65 for all four speakers i can't complain... ;)
dasbulliwagen Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 Mounted a semi-permanant license plate mount to my XJ rear bumper, painted the end caps satin black Krylon plastic paint, and installed the last two bumper bracket bolts to my Bumper bracket. Also ordered two of those LED license plate bolt lights for it, but have yet to mount everything up till I get the tag lights. Ill take and post pics when its all together.
one_bad_MJ Posted February 4, 2010 Posted February 4, 2010 finished painting it, re installed the grille , tinted the windows
