Kona Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Hi guys like I said in the other post I'm new to the forum, this is ma new addition to my jeep collection , 87 MJ 4x4, 6cyl short bed , I've had Kona for a week, here's what I've done so far, engine and tranny and all seals and gaskets, all new vacuum lines, swapping interior to bucket seats and a lot more to do. Got her running yesterday and runs beautiful !
relyt120 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Number one upgrade: Late model brake master cyl and booster, just did mine and you would not believe the increase in stopping power!
Kona Posted September 24, 2012 Author Posted September 24, 2012 Got it fixed and got some cosmetic done!
Kona Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 So is staring to get cold at 4am on my way to work, so bought a new heater core and got to it!, with The bad that the previous owner had a large family of mice living inside the ac/heater, and they had a feast with some wires and vacuum lines! And the feast! So I'll have to rewire the thing and figure out where this vacuums go to, because I can't find the other end! Lol, also the bolts that hold the heather core box to the firewall were all stripped so a few (4 out of 5) had to be cut! So to home depot we Go to find replacements, the box have a few cracks and holes that will need to be repaired, anything else I should do while I'm in this deep?
Kona Posted October 7, 2012 Author Posted October 7, 2012 Looks like I scored full front clip, hood and both doors out of a 99 xj for $200!!!!!!!!! Me so happy!!!!
Kona Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Here's some of the process Manual windows!!! With the fender on Fitting the header panel And this is where I'm at now. Still need to finish the other side but first I'm installing the new style water bottle for the windshield washer.
Kona Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Got the "new " dash in, new heather core. The doors are in, speaker wired and panels cleaned! Placed the new strikers in and doors close good! I won't fall out! And last ( for today), replaced the factory old washer fluid bottle for the 97+ inside the fender. That's all for today folks!
Kona Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 Got my tail lights all cleaned up and Gave them a facelift.
Kona Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 This is how it looks with 32's on stock suspension !!
gogmorgo Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Looks pretty good. The tires look way too huge though, for the size of the wheel wells. The o.d. and the flat black always go well together.
Kona Posted October 18, 2012 Author Posted October 18, 2012 The tires look way too huge though, for the size of wheel well. Yes, I'm going up about 5" and 33's, that is a spare from one of my tj's, just to see what I could fit. :-)
Kona Posted November 10, 2012 Author Posted November 10, 2012 Update, got Kona leveled with 2" pucks up front and clear coated the paint job and tinted my windows, it's driving like a champ! Oh, new wheels and tires as well! :-)
