Fraggy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hey guys just thought I would start an official build thread since today I bought my first parts for the MJ. I got bit by the bug and now there's no going back. Today I purchased basic maintence parts Bosch Plugs and wires valve cover gasket Precision Injectors for jeep comanche This should get her purring like a kitten Next on the list: Upgrade headlights to H4's Replace the 10 pin harness in the upper drivers side fender for the lighting assembly ( figure I can pull one off of an XJ) Upgrade all grounds Clean all electrical plugs Replace battery cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Was cleaning all my electrical connections today and ended up snapping off a pin on the latch relay. Does anyone know what I can replace it with? Can I just use any 5 pin relay? Should it be 12V or 24V? Also I got these today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Any standard 5 pin 12v Relay should work fine. The Injector upgrade is a worthwhile investment for any 4.0l :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Thanks Comanche Kid, now I can continue working away getting the engine running nice and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Over the weekend I cleaned up the electrical and installed the upgraded injectors. Then went to a pick n pull and got some fun parts. Everything was half off so I kind of got carried away. Parts: Grill healight trim RS turn signal front light harness Upgraded gauge cluster Wanted to get more but 4 hours in 98 degree weather with no water tends to get to you.

Fraggy Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Wow it's been a really long time since I've been on here. Was pretty consumed by moving and then the car blew up yadda yadda yadda. Anyways I'm finally back to what I've been wanting to do...Rebuilding the manche I have her parked in the barn and this will be it's resting place for a few months while I disassemble and rebuild Removed the bed liner, I'm impress at how good the truck bed looks. now I just need to get some side panels to get it looking good again. Right now I'm working on dropping the fuel tank, removing the truck bed, and gutting the cab. After that I will be grinding the frame rails and putting por15 on them. After only being able to remove 2 bolts last night I realized I need a torch, larger drill bits, and cutting wheel to get this thing removed. Stay tuned as I continue to rip this guy apart. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fraggy Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Glad I invested in a canister filter. Managed to get all the loose paint and rust off with a wire wheel last night and also got the top of the passenger wheel grinded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Always enjoy seeing the frame up refurbishing....Gotta keep these great trucks alive 1 by 1 :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hopefully after I'm done it will be good enough to eventually pass on to my kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraggy Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Got some more work done. I'm basically done with the stripping process. No I just need to actually start spending money. Tested out some rust remover I had laying around. I'm very pleased with the results. Got the bench seat removed. What a mess the previous owner left me. Found out that floorboards literally mean a board for the floor. Looks like I need a welder and some new floor pans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
