Oh Lord....


Recommended Posts

So I just added this one to the herd. That makes a stock '99 WJ LTD (the wife's), a stock '99 XJ (mine), a '97 XJ (on 35s, 4.56 gears, long armed), the trail truck, and now a 1990 MJ Eliminator.

Sometimes I actually believe that I am crazy. I have a wee bit of work ahead of me. Rust patching, painting, and cleaning up a really oily motor. Looks like the oil is coming from around the oil filter/pressure sending unit. Anyways.... 405,862 kms, loads of rust, topper, and an MJ brush bar, 5spd (AX15), np231, D30/35 combination. Put 160 kms on it to get it home. A little shimmy at 130km/hr, but not too terrible. Everything works, except the interior pillar lights, and the cruise. Not sure what my plans are going to be.... the logical choice would be to keep 'er stock....

 

 

That's right.... 405,824 kms!!!

Damnit... I guess that is what I get for being the "new guy". That has been my avatar on calgaryjeep.com for a long while now... force of habit.

And now for something completely different....

 

The MJ has been sold back to the previous owner (a good buddy of mine). It appears that he missed the ol' girl tooooooo much. :doh:

Brought it home yesterday.... again. I am insulating the garage, so it has to sit out side for a little bit.

 

 

The PO did a wee bit of work on it.... POR15'd the underside, exchanged boxes with another MJ that wasn't as rusty. Gutted the other MJ before hauling it to the wreckers.... Parts are still in the box until my garage is organized. Eliminator rims are in the back, along with dash pieces, and MJ seats that will actually tilt forward.

Pulled it into the garage to swap out wheels.

Question time....

What was this? Ballast resistor?

 

Lucky this didn't burst on me when I was driving it home.... :eek:

 

And the rockers..... now I am terrified to pull up the carpet.

 

Anyone elses' engine super oily? Or am I the lucky one?
