Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Sup y'all? I bought my MJ a while back and got her running again. Now I've thought through about the things I plan to do for her. it'll be a long build though due to shortage of cash. After driving the MJ for a while I've found some things I need to do before I go major. I plan to make a 1/2 ton workhorse out of it, like a 5.9L, NV4500, and NP231. I need to get it tuned up to new first though. Near-future plans will be included next post

Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 I really hope your joking on some of that. I am, on some of them :rotfl2: :thumbsup:
Dirteatr717 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Don't forget to change the blinker fluid :D
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Don't forget to change the blinker fluid :D :shake: haha i won't! :thumbsup:
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 On my way to the bank i noticed a big loss in power when i press the gas slightly, aka merging onto major roads. i think its another fuel problem or a cylinder malfunction. so i've got to look into that when i do the tune up. when i got home i decided to check around the a/c and heat to see any problems. the thing is i don't have a wiring diagram so i don't know what fuses and wires are missing. i also tried to repair some of the wires under the hood, damn squirrels... and I'm also puzzled about what else is missing on the dash. i know one spot over the heat and ac is the radio, but whats the bottom one? here's some pics
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 kinda bored today :redX: wish i had my own garage full of tools and equipment and about $10k so i can fix up the MJ. of course thats a long way away lol. :wrench:
comanche12 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 kinda bored today :redX: wish i had my own garage full of tools and equipment and about $10k so i can fix up the MJ. of course thats a long way away lol. :wrench: TOTAL agree with you. I'm not even reach half way of tools that I need to work on vechicles. about 3/4 way to go to get full of tools that I need.
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 yeah i saw the 400+ tool set at Sears for like 500 bucks, might snatch that when i get the chance. its Craftsman and made in USA as well. it should get most of the job done, but special and larger tools i'll have to get separate
comanche12 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 sounds pretty good deal but IMO craftman is alright for use on vehicle. Snap-On and Matco are best tools to me to use on vehicles. IMO I like craftman's lifetime warrenty but I don't like their air power tools. they fail two times to me so I'm not gonna use their air power tools anymore. :(
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 yeah i was hoping for craftsman hand tools so i can use it on anything from cars, boats, small engines, home, woodworking. and use snap on for power and speciality tools. i can't get snap on everything cause its too expensive.
87Chief Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 For tools, go to craigslist. Or a pawn shop... Great deals.
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 For tools, go to craigslist. Or a pawn shop... Great deals. good idea, i got a this set in a pawn shop back in Missouri. paid nothing but 5 bucks for them. and my dad said i was an idiot for buying them, hell I'm still using them a lot!
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 whew its raining, dark, wet, and cold outside. but i managed to take the fuel pump out and drop the tank. gonna transfer the gas to my Wrangler in the morning and fix whatevers broken.
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 looky what i found, on my brand new fuel pump filter.... the fuel system really needs to be cleaned out. i mean everything from the tank to the engine.
comanche12 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 looky what i found, on my brand new fuel pump filter.... the fuel system really needs to be cleaned out. i mean everything from the tank to the engine. yuck :ack: good thing that you caught it :clapping: clean it up!
Comanche_Fanatic Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 finally got the tank out, all thats left is the fuel filter and the hoses. and yeah i am gonna clean it, that filter is disgusting lol. however i think the tank needs replacing, its dented in many places
MancheKid86 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 so you still going to transfer that gas? :shake: :yes:
