freakjeep93 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 okay today was pretty awsome i worked on the mj all day. i put 2 good doors on it and one of the bad doors on the truck i took the door of of. pics: passenger side thats what was on it and drivers side. hows it look?
dakal Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 it looks good. are the doors adjusted equally around the edges? can't tell from the pics.
freakjeep93 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 it looks good. are the doors adjusted equally around the edges? can't tell from the pics. theyre not perfect yet not closing great yet but almost there
MancheKid86 Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 lookin good :thumbsup: Â can't wait to see it with a bed on it :D Â remember when you attach the bed to attach the ground wire :D Â lol i also noticed you have "a" power window
freakjeep93 Posted October 26, 2009 Author 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......
MancheKid86 Posted October 26, 2009 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
dasbulliwagen Posted October 27, 2009 Posted October 27, 2009 yea i gotta buy a bed first wonder how much a clean rustfree mj bed would cost me up here in canda??                  probably too much......    I would be willing to bet that there is no such thing in existence... at least not in your neck of the woods.
freakjeep93 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Posted October 27, 2009 yea i know tazjeeper might be able to help me out tho but flatbed seems likely
johnnybebad Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 at the very first pic i said..this has gotta be in Nova Scotia lol, i was close !!! good work !
freakjeep93 Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 worked more on the jeep today i got the manifolds off and the front bumper here's some pics: Â Â Â Â Â what do yall think
Unglar Posted November 2, 2009 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
freakjeep93 Posted November 2, 2009 Author 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
Unglar Posted November 3, 2009 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:
MancheKid86 Posted November 3, 2009 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
freakjeep93 Posted November 3, 2009 Author 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
MancheKid86 Posted November 4, 2009 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
Unglar Posted November 4, 2009 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).
freakjeep93 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 yea I'm just kinda stubbourn now i think I'm gunna try it this way and if its a PITA ill say "you told me so" and accept all greif that comes to me
MancheKid86 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 so how is the engine swap going? any progress?
freakjeep93 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 i havnt gotten to work on it latly but I'm planning on this weekend.. but we all know how plans go
pilotblake Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 There is just so much rust................ :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I thought our stuff was bad here in the rust belt.
