Jeepman Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looking good... I Linexed My Box when I did my conversion... Here is a Pic of how I had it done.. I had to build a Custom Hitch for my MJ and I can pretty much pull anything I want now without worry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nice find on the hitch Mike. Do my eyes deceive me, or is your spare hanging a little loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Nice find on the hitch Mike. Do my eyes deceive me, or is your spare hanging a little loose? Must be a little deception. I don't have a spare hanging under there! :D I really do need to throw one in though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backdraft Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Had a bit of an issue the other day. A buddy and myself were driving around in the MJ and saw a small bit of mud near the house. Seeing the ruts, I figured why not. So I cut the corner and drove through like it was no big deal. Coming out the other side I heard an odd whoosh whoosh noise. Get out to investigate, cussed and chuckled a little and limped home on these... Didn't know about the scrap of steel that was under the mud in one of the ruts. I guess someone was getting tired of people cutting that particular corner. It cut the inside sidewall on both drivers side tires. It suck, but it was my own fault. Got 2 new ones and put them both on the back. Kinda hate that they barely had a thousand miles on them before I destroyed them. Its an expensive lesson but my head is officially out of my @ss now!

LalanP111 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 wow, great build! hopfully I can get some cash together soon to get mine done! :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 No real updates. I've been busy, and with the holidays I've been broke! However I got off work the other day and saw this on the dash when I looked down. The chassis has about 140K miles on it. The donor obviously has 230K. The check engine light keeps coming on due to a "massive emissions leak" from the gas cap/gas tank. After Christmas, I think I'm putting in the 22 gallon Dakota tank and pump and redo the tubing and hoses to get rid of that annoying check engine light.

Jeepman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I *think* they're 19lb/hr. They are the Bosch upgrades over stock for 99-01 XJs. They didn't have the flow rate on their ad page, but as I understand it, the orange are 19lb/hr injectors. Maybe I missed it, but here is the ad where I got them... http://www.ebay.com/itm/BEST-UPGRADE-19 ... 3f0f16f8cc The ad shows the green ones, but the ones they sent me obviously were the orange. Was there a Part number on the injectors? If they are 19lbs Injectors then 19lbs @ what psi? Otherwise they might be too small for your aplication as the stock Injectors would have been around 23lbs@49psi depending on the part number http://jeep4.0performance.4mg.com/tech_specs.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 I don't remember the part number off hand. Its very possible I'm wrong and they're not 19lb/hr. After running them for the last couple months, I can tell you the engine runs smoother. I'm also getting marginally better fuel mileage as well as a tad more power. The motor just feels like its a little more awake than before. I'll do some research later today and try to find some data on the ones I got and get back to you. By the way, your bedliner is exactly how I want to do mine. It looks great! I've put it off because I had a rollbar in the bed when I got the truck and I want to patch/repair the mounting holes before I have one sprayed in. I've still got some leftover scraps from the floorpans that I plan to use. I've just been too busy enjoying the MJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepman Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 If you can dig up the part numbers then they can easily be cross referenced on the net to find the specs... I love having the bedlined... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I found a nice little upgrade from the junkyard the other day. These should be helpful during winter. Heated mirrors! I'm gonna get too comfortabe driving this thing :banana: I may have to do some rewiring now. The mirrors work great, but when I installed the 3rd brake/cargo light I didnt have heated mirrors. I tied the cargo light into the switch for the rear window defroster. Now when using the mirrors, the cargo light is on :dunno: Oh well, just another project to do.

86customanche Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Awesome truck! You have given me many ideas for my truck and I'm sure you got it done on yours in a fraction of the time it'll take me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymanrph Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 So the rear defroster is what turns on the heated mirrors? Makes sense I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 So the rear defroster is what turns on the heated mirrors? Makes sense I guess. Yes sir. I wasn't sure what controlled it so I referred to the fsm. Installed them and had them on for about 5 minutes and they got pretty warm. On another note, I just acquired something I've been hunting for about a year. Details to come on that in about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 If you can dig up the part numbers then they can easily be cross referenced on the net to find the specs... Here are a couple pics of the injectors. The numbers on the sides of them are: XW7E-A5B 0 280 155 857 Precisionautoinjectors also sent me an email saying they are 21-22lb/hr depending on who you ask. If anyone is interested in reading the entire email he sent, I'd be happy to post it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 The worm on my drivers side window regulator was stripped at each end. It made a nice stripped thread/grinding noise at full up and full down. This morning I decided to throw this one in: It came from the same junkyard XJ as the heated mirrors. Now the auto down feature works as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backdraft Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ryan, it took me about 15 minutes to swap it out. Take the door panel off(obviously). After that, its 3 nuts that hold the motor on and 3 bolts that hold the track on. 2 more bolts that hold the track to the glass. All of them are 10mm. And 2 of those plastic push in retainers that hold the wire and a plastic piece out of the way of the glass. I'm assuming the 2 door regulators are different from the 4 door ones.

RockMJ Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I would be interested in reading the email if you wouldnt mind posting it up? I'm looking to replace my injectors with some new units in the very near future. Thanks buddy RockMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backdraft Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Here ya go... Hey Mike, I was told to send you an email. I'm not in the office today but was informed that you were asking about the specs. The specs are identical to the stock flow rate. They are considered the 21-22lb/hr depending who you ask. The spray pattern is the only upgrade to these. There's no such thing as a performance upgrade of injectors that flow more fuel as the computer would cut down the timing of the injector's pulse anyway. The part # is hard to tell without looking at the part # yourself on the injectors. There's about 20+ part #s with the same specs that we cycle through. All including the ones you have are the Bosch 4 hole upgrade units for these Jeeps. Colors vary as well and do not indicate any specifications but rather it was just what the manufacturer chose I guess. If you have any questions let me know. Thanks!

I was trying to think of something that you would be looking for that you don't have and the only thing I could think of is a factory roll bar. That's my guess.
