outlaw star Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Simple hydraulic theory. A large amount of fluid forced through a smaller opening, will increase the pressure.
mnkyboy Posted June 1, 2015 Author Posted June 1, 2015 Got a few minutes to mess with the MJ,i took out the stock rod for the master cylinder and made a longer one from the 1/4"-28tpi bolt i picked up. After getting the booster bolted back on i decided to bleed out the front curcuit as a test,the rear circuit is capped off since i haven't ran new lines back there yet. After fighting with a siezed bleeder that snapped off i got it bled out and everything seems to work fine,now to hook up the rear circuit and the hydraulic hand brake then the truck will be ready to stop its new tires.
Rockdrummer93 Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Looks good man! Haven't been on in a while to check out the progress.
mnkyboy Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 the boy and I spent some.time on the MJ this weekend,its been a while since any progress was made. we got the limit strap in on the front axle,finshed the transmission mount and finally got the upper control arm mount finished.
mnkyboy Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 been a long cold weekend but the 5.38s are set up,lockers installed and the axles are all buttoned up,next I think will be an exhaust system then it will be about ready for a test run.
mnkyboy Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 got it of the lift and back on its tires,i hope to bring it home this coming weekend so i can tackle some of the little jobs.
mnkyboy Posted January 24, 2016 Author Posted January 24, 2016 Finally brought the MJ home,now I won't have to drive to Washington to tinker on it,should be able to make some more progress.
mnkyboy Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Did some mock up and made some templates for brackets,it's looking like I get to keep my retractable cup holders.
mnkyboy Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 Had a big brown truck stop by today and drop off a couple packages,I should have everything now to build a custom exhaust system for the MJ. No more open header.
mnkyboy Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 Got a new belt driven throttle body spacer this weekend
shelbyluvv Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Got a new belt driven throttle body spacer this weekend Oh my!
HOrnbrod Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Avenger! That should really wake up the 2.5................
mnkyboy Posted March 21, 2016 Author Posted March 21, 2016 If anything it will sound cool. People claim it will make a stock 2.5l a little faster than a 4.0l rig,my 2.5l has some stuff done so it should get them Squirrels running.
mnkyboy Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 Cleaned out the bed after a couple years of being a catch all. So much room for activities. Then i put in the 37" spare and batteries.
mnkyboy Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 I finally built the high clearance exhaust system to go with the tummy tuck. I was expecting to have to modify the floor some more but it cleared pretty well the way it was.
mnkyboy Posted April 4, 2016 Author Posted April 4, 2016 It's getting close,I need to plumb the rear brakes,wire the batteries,and hook up the cable shifter to the cases then I should be able to drive it a little. I also looked at the supercharger fitment,that's going to be an adventure but I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out.
mnkyboy Posted April 6, 2016 Author Posted April 6, 2016 Got the batteries mostly wired up,the main positive is just roughed in but everything else is done. Once the postive run is hooked up i will be able to just hit the key and start the truck,it's been a long time since I've been able to do that.
mnkyboy Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Got the rest of the wiring hooked up,it has been a while since I could just reach in and start the truck. The new exhaust sounds pretty good too.
mnkyboy Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 I got the cable shifters hooked up and the hydraulic hand brake mounted,with the tummy tuck it is hard to work underneath so i ended up cutting into the tunnel more,now to hook up the rear brake circuit and i shoukd be ready to seal the floor back up. The plan is to build a new section of tunnel with removable access points. I tossed the seats in and it looks like i can keep my retractable cup holders,I need to put some oil in the transfer cases and differentials then i should be able to drive the truck.
HOrnbrod Posted April 11, 2016 Posted April 11, 2016 Get that Avenger in mate. What's taking so long? :yes:
mnkyboy Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Hopefully soon,for now it runs so i can get everything else done. I used 95 YJ parts for the multiport swap,the supercharger is for a TJ and apparently they changed some stuff between 95 and 97. I will have to relocate the power steering pump before i can install the intercooler,i have a TJ bracket and pump so hopefully it bolts on to the YJ stuff. Once i do that i can make the adapter to bolt it to the intake since it's missing from my kit.
