Ok, well the brake job is finally complete system is adjusted up and blead out !

 

I just got back from a little 12mile test drive, this is the first time i have driven my MJ . . . it seems to be a fine little beast, tho its going to need some suspension work, it seems a bit soft n floaty !

 

But the little 2WD 4 popper gets around in 6-9" of snow just fine, tho it dose have a topper n 5 tires on wheels in the box so its got some weight.

 

Happy holidays . . . :waving:

my dad told me storis once of wheeling with a guy in a 4wd chevy on 31s . he was sittin there in 2wd as the otrher guy was gettin out to locik the hubs. and dads mj had p 225s on it

[AMC-MJ]

Right now i have, P215/70R15's on front and ST225/70R15's on the rear, they ain't nothing special just some general purpose tires fronts are passenger tire the rear are trailer tires :fs1: . . . I hate them i'm either going to a LT235/75R15C MT's or LT7.00-15D Super Traction's . . .

 

I only like tires that make noise, on my truck's "if they ain't howling i'm getting stuck" is how i buy tires !

 

Radial MT's n MTR's . . . Biasply Super Traction's n Extra Grip's, I love TSL's those they go both way's Biasply n radial . . .

Hey Mike,

 

Good to see another guy in town. I'm back in Michigan for the holidays now, hope to meet up with you when I get back in WI.

Sound's cool, i been trying to break my anti-social steak for :cheers: I go to work come home get paid pay bills buy food get some gas n :fs1: about being stuck home n broke with so many irons in da fire . . .

 

The MJ was a project truck that has now been put into service as a driver, originally it was to be patched up painted frame beefed up and Repowered with a AMC290 V-8 4bbl / T-5 5spd-OD . . .

 

AMC290 V-8:

290 2bbl 200hp n 260tq.

290 4bbl 225hp n 300tq.

 

GM 350 TBI 210hp n 300tq, So the 290 is a beast comparably . . .

 

But if it's going to be a driver i'm not so sure i want a V-8 in it, not after i got to drive it that little 2.5-I4 rip's rather well.

 

Mike

[freakjeep93]

yea the 2.5s can haul @$$ theyre pretty fast with the right gears. anyway id still paint the frame and patch it in places or itss gunna rust out on you trust me i know .look in the projects forum and look at "ole rusty" its mine. anyway i truly believe you should clean it up give it a paint job and get a new seat . but not untill you follow pete ms advice and pull the carpets up to check for rust.trust me its a pain now but if you don't do it you won't have you mj long. :thumbsup:

[AMC-MJ]

Floor pan is all new, and coated.

 

Carpets all gone been gone from the non snow to snow photos a years time had passed so there's been a few things done but its still in need of work.

 

Mike

[freakjeep93]

oh okay for some reason i thought you had just bought it ..

[AMC-MJ]

I've had it a while, i just started driving it this week, Maybe that caused the confusion :dunno: Sorry about that . . .

 

I been driving it for 3 day's now i just did a new starter as the old one was crawling n dragging so i replaced before i ended up stranded

 

I ran all new 2GA cable's, and a new 800CCA@0*F battery :cheers: spins over like a hot summer day at 15*F . . .

 

i'll toss up some photos here shortly.

I love old big iron... just can't afford to have one.. or a place to keep it. The older I get the less I am into muscle cars, even rare ones.

 

I have to pay for my Jeep problem somehow... ;)
