freakjeep93 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 yea i gotta buy a bed first wonder how much a clean rustfree mj bed would cost me up here in canda?? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â probably too much...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 your best bet would be to find a salvage yard that has an mj there, make buddys with the guy who owns it :P Â buy the bed, and then make it rust free yourself, an angle grinder, and primer and paint and a few hours later you have a rust free bed :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unglar Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 That is the engine your not going to use? If so pull it first, take your time and make notes or something so you can remember where things hook up. Then after you've got it out you can pull the good engine and will have a better idea. When your checking to make sure you have everything unhooked, look inside the cab and check to make sure you removed the gear shift, it tends to get stuck on the way out! :grrrr: I had to crawl under the truck and remove it... Â Nice work! :cheers: Â I wish I had that much space, the city keeps getting after me to get rid of my jeep parts! Â Darin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm not oulling the tranny with the engine so i don't have to worrey about the shifter lol that sucks about the city always wanting people to keep everything tidy so us jeepers have to either cram it all into a garage or live in the country :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Yeah, I could go back to Oregon but I would be lucky to get half my current pay. You gotta be in the city to get decent wages. :headpop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 i believe that it will get a great pain to not pull your transmission when you are pulling the motor, best bet is to either drop that first or... pull the tranny out with the engine, Â either way youll need an engine hoist or else it will be very complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 yea I'm goin to pricess auto some time soon yo buy a shop crane and a mig welder so ill have that covered but I'm gunna try pullin just the engine ... i don't wanna pull the rtranny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancheKid86 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 i honnestly believe that you should go about taking out the transmission as well, it will save you tooonnnnsssssss of grief, it will be way harder to pull the engine out by itsself, you will need to pull the tranny anyways so you can get the new engine in, or be super extremely careful and make sure you flywheen is completely straight and lined up with the shaft from the transmission, Â Â you will not save time doing it they way you want to, infact it may take longer, this is not the easy way out :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 :agree: After having pulled my engine twice with the tranny and installing the tranny with the engine in the rig, I must say it was not much extra work to pull the tranny with the engine, and it was a royal pain to install the tranny with the engine in the rig(which would be almost the same as what your planning to do).
