MjAllTheWay Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Changed LCAs to Adjustable LCAs to get rid of DW work now I'm happy
Hubbell Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Well today I mounted my 33" mtr's on my Moab rims, picked up the metal for the winch bumper and the rock sliders, ordered the 6.5" Rc long arm lift, and lastly picked up the Dana 30 non cad axle, and the Chrysler 8.25. I was real busy today but had a smile the whole time!!! It's going to be a busy week.
mvusse Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 In the process of bartering a custom (built to order) pub table for a brand spanking new awesome custom front winch bumper from JawzJP Customs
shelbyluvv Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I got it to fire up! Check my build thread for the video.
AMCJeepMJ Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Rinsed the winter road grime off, cleaned the wheels, scraped a triple-A sticker off the rear window of the canopy, and filled the tank.
CWLONGSHOT Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I WASHED MINE TOO!!! Hate to see the salt on her..... CW
mvusse Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Not TO the MJ, but FOR the MJ went to pull-a-part in Both Akron, and Canton. (Akron admission got me into Canton for free :D ). Scored driver and passenger side mirrors, 2 almost brand new air filters, passenger vent window assembly, and a full gauge cluster with tach for the XJ. Now I just need the oil pressure and coolant temp sensors to make it work. Akron yard had an 89 SWB Sport truck, but all MJ specific parts were gone already safe for the fuel sender. And it had been mangled by somebody that evidently just needed the pump :nuts:
Puritan21 Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Went outside and...............froze my booty off!!!!!!! But I got the Pukegoat out!! It was puking chocolate milk out the back end, guess it's a good thing it came out or it may not have lasted much longer???

deziped Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Continued to strip the 86 for parts. Decided to sell rust free bed also. Thats the worst dent in the bed. Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
mvusse Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Removed the bad alternator only to find out both my relocation brackets had broken. At least now I know why the belt kept getting loose. So 18 gauge sheet metal is not strong enough. I will make a new straight bracket out of 3/16 plate I have laying around, but have no clue what I'm going to do for the angled one yet.
Oizarod115 Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 called the solicitors office of gwinnett county and faxed over the necessary information for them to drop my registration ticket (don't ask, newB cop DA ticket for somethin thats not illegal) so tomorrow i can get the tag on it and drive it again!

I have been considering this too... I have allot invested in mine and would like to enjoy it foir sometime.... Post up pics or maybe to a write up on what you come up with!! CW
aemsee Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Fired her up for the first time in a month and took her to be inspected. Only 3 1/2 months overdue :D . Was gonna let her sleep 'til spring, but the mrs has been buggin me so she can drive it.
dasbulliwagen Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I'm slowly working to finish my rear bumper and trailer hitch project, but in the last couple of days, the boss has been wanting to drive his and after years of neglect he is finnally doing some stuff to it. I know pretty much all of whats wrong with it, but knowing too his aversion to spending any money on it, I have not suggested anything. I guess this week things are finally getting to him.... during last weekends snow he tried to use the 4wd and it wouldnt work, so he had me look at that. Of course it was the CAD, I founf the vac lines to it completely missing, so I made up a new set and cleaned it all up and got it working, then today he finally tired of the squeely belt and the muffler rattle, so I installed a new muffler and new belt... al quiet now! Oh yeah... his is a 1988 Olympic Edition 4.0 auto 4x4 SWB.
Pete M Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 thought about mine today. all alone... way up north... covered in snow... :(
mvusse Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 After replacing a bad alternator I cleaned the snow off it, as well as the ice underneath the snow (water crossing deeper than the bed floor a week and a half ago, with snow already in the back) out of the bed. Broke both my snow shovel and broom in the process. But now I can drive it to work tomorrow, park it in the heated shop without flooding it, and rotate the tires and change gear oil in the axles after work to get ready for an invitation only weekend on private property. It'll be fun setting up my tent on 20+ inches of snow. I think I'll leave the broken mirrors until Monday. Did somebody say something about spring? I got more snow on the ground than I've ever seen since I moved here 17 years ago. With a bit of luck I'll find my lost keys back in June when the snow finally melts. Anyway, back on topic, I had to use a crow bar to put the tailgate back on. Turns out I got a new dent on the passenger side lower rear corner, pushing the tail gate hinge piece in a good two inches. No clue where that happened. Probably a chunk of floating ice, or when I fell through the ice.
JeepcoMJ Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 I threw a breaker bar at it and walked away.
Lenard Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 I threw a breaker bar at it and walked away. :fool: hope you didnt dent it.
