Wiggilez Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Last update of my trip :) Home safe with the MJ .
Wiggilez Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 So today I had to replace the alternator in my truck, the old one took a dump on my as I was driving through town, thankfully there was a part store about 15-20min walk both ways, but there were a few snags along the way, so I walk to the store to get a new alternator, but then decided that I didn't want to buy one because I was cheap (after having walked all the way to the store) so I walked back to my truck removed the alternator and pull in apart on the side of the road thinking I could fix it, so I opened it up found that there was a loose nut inside, tightened it up and go to go right? WRONG put it back together threw it back in the truck something spanked but I ignored (dumb move). get back in the truck I turn the key it starts a idles fine so I start driving and I hear a bang from under the engine and a cloud of white smoke comes out of my hood,so I pull over pop the hood take a look everything seemed go, and I was a block from the part store, so I said screw it. and drove it over, pull the alternator out again and brought it in for the exchange + cash for a new one, I should of just bought the new one to start with to save myself the trouble, also no pics cause my phone was dead the how day :/
Wiggilez Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 small up date, picked myself up the lund sun-visor the other day, It came off of a cherokee but I see no reason it won't fit. and pics, I apologize for picture quality in advance.
Wiggilez Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 I was just west off the airport but I'm actually back in edmonton for the foreseeable future, though I am considering a day trip to calgary this weekend.

HeavyHook Posted February 9, 2016 Posted February 9, 2016 What area of Calgary are you in? On an acreage, near Chestermere. Just south of the number 1. Been meaning to respond to your PM. Just keeps slipping my mind.
Wiggilez Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 A fully loaded XJ good put into the JY the other day, so I snagged myself this nice little upgrade.
Wiggilez Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 I got around to doing a little work on my Comanche today, nothing too substantial though. I just pulled the rad belts fan and a few other odds and ends. also at some point this came undone and I didn't even notice O.o sorry about the blur also I taught that only the 2wd MJ's has the rubber stuffing in the drive shaft. also what is this, and do I need to save this for my 4L swap? and lastly, a little game of can you spot the difference.
Megadan Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Your inquiry as to what that canister with the hoses coming out of the top... That is the charcoal canister for the EVAP system.
87Chief Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 The answer to the game question is new bumper :banana: (hopefully). Keep up the good work.
Wiggilez Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Your inquiry as to what that canister with the hoses coming out of the top... That is the charcoal canister for the EVAP system. Guess ill keep it, mostly because I don't feel like going through shed to see if i keep the one from the parts chero Also to bignuke yes. Soon my mj will shine with crome as it ascends into valhalla muhahaha
Wiggilez Posted March 12, 2016 Author Posted March 12, 2016 got a little more done on the jeep today, but I now have two questions, one do I need to remove the fenders to get the the bits holding on the the front clip in the areas i've marked two My 1990 parts cherokee had to holes in this front plate/crossmember thing that runs behind the bumper, will I need to add these holes or were they just for the hidden winch option
gogmorgo Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 If you take the headlight bezels off, you'll find two nuts on each side holding down your header panel. One's behind the bottom of the parking light's lens, the other's up near where the chrome trim strip sits. As to those two holes, don't know. They wouldn't be bad for lights mounted on the bumper.

Cool thanks for the help. Alsto he holes I'm talking about aren't the ones in the pic. What i meant was on the front cross member that runs behind the bumper (pic 2) there were to large holes one was a large slightly bigger then a fist sized hole the othere was more ovoled and about twice as wide. I hope that my description was better this time :)
gogmorgo Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah, I know what you mean. They're on my '91 and '91. My guess is they just modified the stampings to save on materials. I had the wiring for my bumper lights going through there until I moved them when I put on a brush guard.
Wiggilez Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 so we had a fairly nice day today, sun shining birds chirping and I spent most of it indoors doing this rear MJ harness one done last two MJ side all done. now to start on the cherokee harness and I did finish it, but I forgot picture :/ Now I just have to find some 10 pin connectors and merge the two half, I might have to try online for the connectors though. as I whent to 4 different places and couldn't find any.
Megadan Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 You, sir, have far more patience than I do. I hate wiring. Awesome progress though, and I am anticipating the final result.
