Hubbell Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Finally finished up the alignment, installed the reciever hitch, installed new inside dome lights, changed the door seals for some newer ones, installed the relay for the kc's, welded up the exhaust hangers that were broke, and put some new speakers in the doors. All in all a good day of wrenchin! :banana:
M1A1TankerTom Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 installed a new exhaust manifold (old one had a big crack in it) and bled my brake lines.
one_bad_MJ Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 took it muddin. and put a electric AC fan on it.
AMCJeepMJ Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 Wired up my under-bumper flood reverse light to a switch on the dash. Used an old KC light wire that splits in case I get motivated to put in a second light.
ComancheKid45 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Repainted my bedsides to match nicer and took another shot at correcting my "rev to the moon" issues on intermittent startups. Also handed out another CC business card.....this time to a fella with a SWB Sportruck the same color mine was prior to me recieving it, only with alot less rust
Geonovast Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Raided brake parts off the 4.0 for the XJ. One of these days I'll be driving one again. :wall:

MjAllTheWay Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Washed it.This is the only time you will see the paint shine.
deziped Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 R&R the old mirrors with a set I sanded , primered and shot with flat black. Image Not Found
Lloyd Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Got lots of info from here using the links and posts. Laid up under the truck and examined the best possible way to stick the tranny back in since the torque converter seal replacement. Stabbed the tranny. Took a few hundred breaks in between.
Philistine Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 Replaced a fusable link the PO had "fixed". I also picked up new motor and transmission mounts. Managed to get one motor mount installed but the passenger side mount is right against the alternator. If the bolt was the other way around it would just slide off. I don't want to pull the alternator just for one bolt so I'll try cutting it off tomorrow and just buy a new bolt. Here's the old motor mount I pulled today and the new replacement.
Hubbell Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I got my winch today :banana: Mile marker sec9500 lb. hopefully get it mounted this weekend
Rymanrph Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 I drove it! Stage 1 of the 4wd swap is complete: HP Dana 30 and Chrysler 8.25, plus Hell Creek 3" lift.
Philistine Posted April 16, 2010 Posted April 16, 2010 The MJ lives! Finished installing new motor mounts, new transmission mount and got the alternator hooked back up.
CWLONGSHOT Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I got my winch today :banana: Mile marker sec9500 lb. hopefully get it mounted this weekend I have that on my TJ. Its been on for a couple years now and works GREAT!! CW
deziped Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Finally locked the CAD in permanently today. Took all of about 30 minutes including time to clean it up a little. Certainly eliminated the jerking and banging that use to occur when I shifted into Part time or full time. Discovered while I had it open that the axle seal is non-existant. No wonder it shows a little oil drip at end of axle now and then. Put that on the to do list.
Geonovast Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 You were running a CAD axle with a 242? Baaaaad plan. Glad you got it fixed now.
deziped Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Yeah I kept putting it off as I intended, and still do, to put a complete 98-00 front D30 LS under there. Just waiting for the right deal to show up at the right price.
comanche 88 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 You were running a CAD axle with a 242? Baaaaad plan. Glad you got it fixed now. Please explain :???: I'll be putting a 242 in mine shortly, so do I need to permanently engage the CAD?
