benjy_26 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Random ZJ shot. Cuz race car. :peek:
benjy_26 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Couple of coats of Rust Tough Primer for good measure. Note the XJ in the background with a ridiculous amount of lift. Throwing in the Duplicolor liner. It was actually VERY easy to coat, and i like the results. It's been 2 weeks since I finished coating the floor and it's still curing. I'll keep you guiys updated on it.
KCsurfer420 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I like where this is going. Let me know if you need any thing or your looking for parts cuse I'm a MJ parts horder.
daking Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 looking good. not many MJ's up in Alamo... One less now I guess.. :)
KCsurfer420 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 So when are you going to bring the hay runner to the west side so I can check it out?
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 I like where this is going. Let me know if you need any thing or your looking for parts cuse I'm a MJ parts horder. Thanks man! Been busy as hell with school, so I've just been driving it for now. I'm getting some free time now, though. Let me know when you want to see it. I'd LOVE for you to pick over my rig and give me pointers. :)
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Ok, so now for some long overdue updates. Nothing major, I just keep hacking off little bits on my to do list. The Duraliner took a while to dry out. It smelled like ammonia the whole time, but now it's dry and looks pretty good to boot. I'm still on the fence about carpeting the MJ. I like being able to just hose it out and not worry about it. Anyway, on to the pics!
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 looking good. not many MJ's up in Alamo... One less now I guess.. :) Thanks man! I heard rumors of a LWB 4x4 with a blown up 2.8 sitting in Dog Canyon that some old guy is practically giving away. I may go investigate in the near future.
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 This is what it would look like on 32's. May step up to them in the future, but I don't want any more lift. Hanneman?
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 This is with my wiring and vacuum spider's nest cleaned out and functioning properly. This 2.5 is smooth and pretty torquey once it's sorted out.
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Quick backtrack: New TRE's and mild lift... TBI clean up: looking junky...
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Gunk... Duraliner installed: Build date! Rat's nest!! What's this about?:
benjy_26 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 New lift parts: New 8.8 AX4 drain plug. Looked like the fluid had glitter. MUCH better after a 10-30w Synth oil change. Engine bay as it sits now Totally unrelated, but here's a broken scraper, made out of rancheria chert. It's estimated to be between 10,000 and 6,0000 years old. Some poser flex??? Remember the ammo boxes? V8 ZJ coils vs Rancho 2.5" coils How it looks like with the Rancho coils up front:
benjy_26 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Posted May 29, 2014 Needs LEDS I plan on installing a light bar across the roof, just haven;t decided which one to get. I'll be re-installing the Hella Rallye 2000's I had on the bumper. Those are FANTASTIC fog/flood beams.
benjy_26 Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Pics of the upgraded exhaust: It's not mandrel bent, but with the down-pipe measuring 2.25" and the section after that measuring 2.5" all the way to the tip, it flows plenty well for the 2.5L, is throaty with a good rumble at parking lot speeds and when the throttle is mashed, and has the added benefit of being very, very quiet at 55-60mph. As a matter of fact, at those speeds, the BFG AT's are louder than the exhaust.
Spectormj Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I can hook ya up with some rock lights and an led light bar
benjy_26 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 So.... I FINALLY threw in a 3/4 cluster to get rid of the idiot cluster. Everything was running well.... then the slave cylinder let go. The INTERNAL slave cylinder. I'm debating whether to throw in an ax5/np231 in the least invasive way I can, convert to external slave and go with an ax5, or go whole hov and throw in an ax15. What say ye?
