RynoMJ Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 Little update, weather was warm so I took full advantage. Out with the old and in with the new. I'm converting it to an open system so i had to use the new style heater valve Also got some parts to finish up the interior This, unfortunately is my temporary fix until I can some how some way find some new B-pillar trim pieces, the PO cut massive holes to fit speakers. Made up this piece to cover the back of the cab. installed with the amp. And now the interior is nearly finished. Just have to figure out what to do with the seats and take it to a headliner place once shes on the road.
rmontes Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Figured out my headlight issue, the high beams would turn on but not the standard lights. what was wrong? i have the same issue :hmm:
RynoMJ Posted February 5, 2012 Author Posted February 5, 2012 Figured out my headlight issue, the high beams would turn on but not the standard lights. what was wrong? i have the same issue :hmm: I ended up replacing the headlight switch and everything worked fine after that
codymanche Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Can u put pics up as the radiater conversion I'm doing one too looking to see what I need
RynoMJ Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Got the Ford 8.8 installed. Still need to weld on some tabs for the hard brake line, extend the brake control, figure out some e-brake cables, bump stops and order some shocks and that should do it for the rear. Finished up the last few things with the interior and just waiting for the seat to get back from the upholstery place. Always on the look out for B-pillar trim to replace the ones I have, the PO cut some massive holes in them. Also need to locate an ashtray that's not broken and that should do it for the interior.
relyt120 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I'm a little confused as to what was cut off here? What did these connect to? :dunno: That looks like the connector that goes to the aux fan
RynoMJ Posted August 3, 2012 Author Posted August 3, 2012 Small update, front axle is in Rock Krawler track bar New brakes Solid diff cover Skyjacker stabilizer 4.5" coils with 1 3/4" spacer RE sway bar relocation brackets JKS quick discos RE long arms Clayton cross member Bilstein 5150s I think my track bar needs to be adjusted, the sway bar links seems a little out of wack Last few things: Install my dirt bound Aux fans Get the axles re-geared Throw in the rear shocks E-brake cables Rear bump stops And figure out what to do with my front drive shaft.
RynoMJ Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Small update: High flow T-Stat housing installed Dirt Bound fans installed, these things are sweet! Cut the fenders hopefully that will be all they need Have to install these shiny wheel spacers that should bring the rear width to where it needs to be.
Dirteatr717 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Lots of sweet new parts! If I remember you're putting 35s on this bad boy? Def gunna need to cut the fenders more, my 33s eat my fenders and they're cut higher than that. I've known John for a couple years now and we've exchanged a few parts lol
RynoMJ Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 I was trying to retain some sort of front fender flare, I'm slowly realizing that might not be an option. Nick, do you know anyone that does gears?
Dirteatr717 Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 I don't know anyone personally but I could find out some prices from people my friends know. I've heard of one guy doing gears for 250 an axle.
RynoMJ Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 Damn thats cheap! If you hear anything let me know.
buxmj Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Can I ask where you got the rear wheel spacers? Thanks in advance. That is amazing work and time you have put into this build, very impressive. Buck
Dirteatr717 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Found out the gearing prices! I was quoted 150 for my rear axle and 200 for my front, getting them done at Solofabworks, same place as Cheroke chief. If you want a phone number PM me so I get the email notification :wavey:

RynoMJ Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 These should look good! classic lock II's and some kevlars! Also scored a longer front drive shaft from my buddy that no longer has a cherokee, idk what it came out of but it fits perfect. Need to finish up a few things before I can send it off to get painted and I've really been putting these things off since they're such a pain in the @$$. E-brake cables (can't seem to get a set that will work with the 8.8 i've ordered about 10 cables trying to rig something together Accelerator is very sticky and gets stuck at about 3K consistently. Not sure if its possible to fix the one on there or just order a new cable. Rear brake lines for the 3rd time. I think I've finally settled on a setup that will work.
codymanche Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 These tires are hard to find I heard they don't make them anymore.
Rymanrph Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Just a word of caution with those wheels. If you wheel in a lot of rocks, the rings will catch and very easily bend. I have a friend that had his ripped out of the threaded portion of the wheel. I have the same wheels and I'm almost tempted to remove them before I go wheeling again.

I have a friend that had his ripped out of the threaded portion of the wheel. I have the same wheels and I'm almost tempted to remove them before I go wheeling again. Good advice! Love the look of the ring but might have to remove them like you say before any serious wheeling.
RynoMJ Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 These tires are hard to find I heard they don't make them anymore. Are you referring to the wheels?
