88pioneer Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Well now that its home, I figured i would start the build thread. Just bought a 92 long bed 4.0, AW4, 4x4 column shift, with a 4.5" front lift, and a SOA rear. Welded 35 rear needs to go ASAP. Its rough around the edges, but the core is solid and one day it will be up to my standards. Build date is 4/23/92. Current plans are to take off the snorkel, swap out the seats for buckets, and fix the bad track bar.
DJM/78 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I almost thought you bought another one , I was thinking " that sob has two 92 MJ's " . I'll be following your thread . Cool truck . :thumbsup:
88pioneer Posted February 3, 2010 Author Posted February 3, 2010 Well stage 1 removal of the PVC snorkel is complete :banana: . Ended up cutting it off at the fender and and pulling the whole thing off. Then I took the cone filter and clamped it on the tube coming off the stock airtube. It's just a temporary fix to just have a filter on the intake. This weekend i'll put the new fender on it. Went to pull the seat, but got nervous about rust. The 2 seat mount studs on the DS rear seem to be gone :oops:. This weekend i'll pull the carpet an see what i find. Before After

knever3 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Good looking truck. The makeshift PVC snorkle is actually a nice job, to bad it had to go. It wasn't as clean as a stock one but it sure was genious. Nice to see another truck get some attention.
88pioneer Posted February 6, 2010 Author Posted February 6, 2010 Didn't get to the IAC today, but sold my XJ instead :clapping: . Did get the intake tightened up, put the new fender on, and got the new belt on.
88pioneer Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 Put new head light bezels on, and put a pair of firestiks on And put a cherry bomb on yesterday morning
91MJdude Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 you mean you didn't like that sweet snorkel? lol truck looks awesome
johnnybebad Posted February 18, 2010 Posted February 18, 2010 the good old glass pack disturbing the peace since 1968 :D :D :D wouldn`t hurt to have a tack weld from the tailpipe to the cherry bomb, they can heat up quite a bit and sometimes the pipe will loosen over time. nice truck !!
88pioneer Posted February 18, 2010 Author Posted February 18, 2010 Spring time i'll weld the cherry bomb up, leaks like a bastard right now, and yes the snorkel was a nice touch :nuts:
88pioneer Posted February 20, 2010 Author Posted February 20, 2010 I've always liked the color matched front ends of the eliminators, so i decided to paint mine to match
88pioneer Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Well about a week ago the 92 left me stranded on the side of the highway. A week later it's still sitting here not running. It has a new fuel pump, filter, and pressure regulator. Somehow the motor is still not getting enough fuel and won't run, out of patience and ideas now, probably going to a mechanic and blowing more of my non existent money :headpop: :headpop: :headpop: :headpop: :headpop: :headpop:
1999MJ Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 does the 92 still have the ballist resister under the hood like the 91 models? It's that big white block with the 2 wires connected to it. If it does it should be located on the driver side on the inner fender well. Try replacing that. If not chack the ground on the tail liht harness. That also grounds out the fuel pump
88pioneer Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 it does have the ballast resistor still, i'll check that, but i don't think the ground for the fuel pump is bad, i can hear it turn on when i turn the key
terrawombat Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 What kind of pressure are you seeing at the rail? Want to sell it to me? :wavey:
88pioneer Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 it sits at 40psi while its cranking, but as soon as it starts it drops to 20psi and dies i'll trade ya ;)
terrawombat Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 it sits at 40psi while its cranking, but as soon as it starts it drops to 20psi and dies i'll trade ya ;) I can trade you cash for the '92 :cheers:
88pioneer Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 nah, i think i finally found a keeper, don't wanna give this one away, just hit a bit of a speed bump
88pioneer Posted March 3, 2010 Author Posted March 3, 2010 Well, it's off on another adventure with the tow truck, 3 times in 1 week :roll: . Hopefully it won't cost me too much, but i guess we'll find out :shake:
daltonmcgill7 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Good looking truck. The makeshift PVC snorkle is actually a nice job, to bad it had to go. It wasn't as clean as a stock one but it sure was genious. Nice to see another truck get some attention. :agree:
88pioneer Posted March 5, 2010 Author Posted March 5, 2010 Well she's finally back. 1999MJ was on the right path, ballast resistor and TPS were shot. No fuel and no air= no go. Just happy its running again, o and forgot to add that the day before it stopped running i had a new windshield installed, with rubber trim pieces now, no more haze or squeak. Got it all done for $120 which i couldn't pass up :clapping:
