88MJay Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thanks... I'm liking it too. I've got to fix my power steering leak, get a new battery for it, get it registered and a few other odds and ends but it's getting closer to being wheelable. I haven't really driven the Jeep much. I'm looking forward to getting it road ready so I can drive it around a little bit and work the bugs out. Hopefully I won't find too many suprises.

88MJay Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 I got it registered and new plates. Drove it about 30 miles today. I messed with the alignment some. It was toed in too much. My caster is a bit steep at around 9 or 10 degrees but it seems to drive okay. I also got the CB hooked up and a installed a license plate light to keep the cops off my butt. It ran at around 195 degrees all day and never seemed to want to get hot even when it was sitting and running in the driveway. All and all a good day. It felt pretty cool to drive it finally. Hopefully there will be a trail ride here in my near future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88MJay Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I took the MJ on it's maiden trail ride yesterday. It did great. I didn't break anything, which is always good. I did however add some beauty marks to the body. I put a few new dents in the bedsides and a nice dent in the door and cab. But, that's what it's for! Anyway, I was the only MJ on the trail (of course) and the only guy out of 10 or so that wasn't in a TJ. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone was commenting on how cool the truck was. I didn't take too many pics... I was busy driving. Here's a few pics though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warf90 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 89MJay, where did you go wheeling? Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88MJay Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 My only gripe is that it is too hot in the cab with the doors and no slider in the rear. I need to find a slider, pull the sunroof out and pull the doors. I was thinking about mounting one of those little fans that plug into the cigarette lighter on the dash bar too. That should make it more comfortable in the summer. I like the way they look better with doors on but it's just too hot. Thanks for the kind words. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88MJay Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 We went down to that new park in KY... HillznHollarz. We were working on some new trails. We cut a decent one up a rocky creek bed with a bunch of ledges about a quarter mile long. From what a few of the guys were telling me we only saw about 200 of the 900 acres. I'm looking forward to going back. It's just over 2 hours away for me and that's pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warf90 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 A couple buddys and my self are planning on going down on the 5th of May to check it out. I was curious to hear how it was. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88MJay Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hey Tim... you don't know Jerry blair or Andy biggs or any of those guys do you? What club do you usually run with or do you just run with a few friends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warf90 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yeah, I know Jerry, but I don't think I ever met Andy. I know Brian Watson also. They are part of TKO aren't they? I used to belong with Ohio River Four Wheelers along time ago. Its been along time since I rode with them though. I mostly ride with 4 of my buddy's from work when ever we can. Don't get out as much as we used to though. Your MJ looks great. Did you bend the cage or buy it pre bent? If you bought it, where did you find it?

88MJay Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Your MJ looks great. Did you bend the cage or buy it pre bent? If you bought it, where did you find it? Tim Go back a page (page 4 of this topic). The link to the cage is in the second thread from the top. There is also some more info about what was changed back there somewhere. Watson moved to Michigan. He is thinking about selling his XJ. Although he has already started a mild buildup on another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warf90 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks for the link for the cage. I can't believe he is selling his XJ. He has had that thing forever. We will have to hook up this year and get out with the two MJs. Its rare that you see 1 MJ on the trial but to see 2 of them would be really cool. I had mine out to Big Rock last month for its first trip and it was awesome, even though there wasn't alot to do there. It is quite differnt from my old CJ-5 with manual transission and Carburated. The wheel base is awesome compared to 83" that my CJ-5 had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
