Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 So I have been putting off this one for a while. Got some vibrations from the angle of the drive shaft and it is also to short. But the stress on the tail housing of the transfercase finally took its toll anbd blew the seal. So I figured if I'm going to fix it Ill fix it the right way the first time..... So here somes the new stuff.. Tom woods drive shaft and a Advance Adapters SYE kit Now this is not somthing I did by myself. I have never opened up a transfer case and I was told it was just best to get it all professonally installed. SO I ended up getting it installed a J&P transmissions (aka J&K). they did a great job. Havent snapped a picture of it all installed yet though.
Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Got some new Halo headlights and clear corners as a xmas present. Also painted the old woreout head light bezels. BEFORE: AFTER:
Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Still havent hooked up any of my lights or my E-Fan to I got the switch panel ready for that. Also got a Digital tach cause I don't have one.
Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 So I have had a slow drip from the oil pan and Rear main seal. The oil pan has some rust on it also so got a oil pan and oil pan gasket.
Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Looking to put some XJ apillar lights on soon so I got these from DETOURS they are the SNORKLE A-PILLAR Friendily ones. this is what they will look like. I havent decided what lights I'm going to go with yet.
Zebvance Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Had some blow by in the air filter. The CCV system is all new and I and get it to stop. Apperantly this is a problem with the 4.0's in jeeps. Did a compression test and the rings are good to everything checked out. turns out the problems is the intake flutes in the top of the valve cover sit to low in the head and suck up oil. The solution to this is to trip about 1/2 inch off the flutes. However I just got done pulling the valve cover off and just put a 40 dollar fel-pro gasket on it. So the solutoion for now is a 20 dollar oil catch can. and so far it has worked great.

dscowell Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Really liking what you are doing! I'm going to have to bookmark this forum because I have a lot of similar ideas. Have you installed the detours A-Pillar light mounts? Do you have any pictures? How do you like them?
Mattwheels Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Great looking MJ, hope to get mine up to par one of these days.
Zebvance Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Next it was on to install the new Durango steering box. This box is a bit bigger and beefier and just needs some sort of spacer to bolt right up. I also got a steering box brace and but it on also. The same time I did this I installed the new power steering pump, lines, and bracket.
