what did you do to your MJ today?

[carnuck]

watched the snow fall on it as I leave for work

[reece146]

Blasted the bed bolts with penetrating oil yesterday. Maybe I'll get the box off today - the weather is supposed to clear, get the Jeep moved into the garage... maybe.

[comanche12]

refill the coolant and burp it out.

 

no more leak! :cheers:

[GreenF350]

First "legal" drive in over a year. Got it registered today and wow, my brakes suck. Its good to be back driving a Comanche again. Oh, and in the few hours its been registered, its already consumed almost $100 in gas,oil change,coolant, alignment etc. Good to be back.

[comanche12]

[jimmy21669]

Wow....I worked my butt off is what I did.

 

Finished rebuilding my AX4...first time effort and it did NOT come without it's pitfalls. I shattered my cluster gear bearing, but was able to build a new one with parts I had. Once I got the whole shebang reassembled, I reinstalled everything into the MJ.

 

The Purple People Eater is now OFFICIALLY a 4x4 a MAY make it's debut in December. :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

This was a very rewarding challenge. I now know how to rebuild manual transmissions which is a major plus!

[beaterheep]

finally wired up the led strobes ive had here for a week. put the tailgate back on, loaded the jeep and the trailer with 85 bucks worth or scrap, next is the trans swap, add 2" front spacers to the coils, new clutch, trim the rear quarters and add to the rear bumper, come spring new rims and 35's. go figure its too damn cold out now...

[JohnQ]

Put the starter back in after having it tested yesterday, but I wasn't able to try and start it. I have no idea what is going on with it. Then I got in trouble with the wife because I was suppose to be getting ready to go to the in-laws. Now I'm at my in-laws wishing I was still working on my truck!

[cluricaunne]

I cleaned off all the snow, and cleaned out the garage. As soon as my roommate wakes up, I can put the two together, and finish the jeep in the garage... yay :clapping:

I'd trade you in a heartbeat, snow really sucks when the jeep is the only rig I have that will get around in the stuff...

[comanche12]

SNOW FTW!

The Boss's MJ has been sitting, not driven since the last time I fixed it, I think for a broken heater control valve, its been a month or so since I did that. Anyways, he gives it to our cleanup guy this morning to take to pick something up 2 cities over. He makes it two miles up the road before it dies, and the boss called me to go get him. Took a jump box with me, and we jumped it off, it ran fine as long as it had the jump box on it, take the jumper off, and it boggs, spits and sputters. The negative cable was not fully tight, and the cable itself is in REALLY bad shape. I figured at the least it was a bad cable causing it to not be able to charge, so we shoved the jump box in the engine bay, cliked the hood down to first latch, and drove it back to the dealership. I got a new cable for it, and then tested to see if the alternator was putting out..... NOPE. Ordered a new alternator, to be put on monday. :shake:

[ComancheKid45]

Ordered a Yukon Locker for the D30 on my 88

[flyn2er]

Hit the JY for some parts for the jeeps .MJ got a trac bar, interior lights and compressor for the OBA. XJ got a 136 amp alt.

[MJCARENA]

Replaced the starter. Took it to Lowes to get roofing stuff and when I went to go back for some 2x4's it wouldn't crank over. :( Banged on the starter and it started right up. Used my other truck and got a new starter and the 2x4's. At least it broke at the house. The wife said that the MJ doesn't like to have to do any work. She called it a princess. :nuts:

[SW86]

looks like you may only get $50 to $100 for it. For what it's worth I would hang on to it after all.
