I looked at it. thought about how it should be back on the road. shed a tear. then went and looked at the other one. thought how it never shoulda ended up in the condition it's in, then made wild plans for a supercharged 3800 to replace the nat. asp. one...

 

 

then went back inside without accomplishing anything else. work's a b*tch

Well, I have been putting off doing another axle sawp on the ZJ, but finally can't put it off any longer. So... I had to bring the unicorn out of retirement, and get it ready for DD status. It had a flat on the front left, but it ended up being the valve stem. Since I have no way to bust it down and put a stem in it, I put on the spare wheels and tires I had laying around. Should have done it a lot sooner.

 

Before: On baby little 215 snow tires and Elim wheels.

Now: Meaty 235's on black spraypainted XJ rims.

I also had to move the Farmer out of the garage, in prep for the ZJ moving in.

Sigh... I wish I could be spending money on the Farmer, but the ZJ is the somewhat reliable DD in need of attention.

Dropped off the 88 at a mechanic who was highly recommended by a friend that has an XJ. Two things need to be done asap. Needs to pass smog ( running SUPER rich ) and having the AX15 installed. Should get it back next week.

Maybe? All I know that my mj didn't take good maintenance from previous owner so I'm improve my mj to get it in good shape as much I can.

I finished the headlamp harness, and put the nose back on, just need to strap in the bed, put the tank back in, finish some misc parts, get the bumpers on and do all of the inside. Also discovered that my heater box (suitcase) is thrashed, so I am hoping the 95 Cherokee I have at work will fit as a replacement...
