benjy_26 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 So.. I've been driving this thing as a semi- DD for a few months now... and my slave cylinder decides to take a dump! I had a hell of a time getting it home without a clutch. Crossing a mountain pass while shifting clutch-less is quite the adventure. . :MJ 1: . I purchased a Powertorque clutch kit from Oreiley's Auto, which included a new clutch set, alignment tool, and slave cylinder. I also replaced the hose assembly and had the flywheel turned. I must say, the replacement went smoother than I thought, and the truck drives a whole lot better, Everything is great... except that my speedo no longer works. I have a cable on order coming in. Hopefully that takes care of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Oh, and here's a few pics of it on a spare set of 32's I have. Just for fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Everything is great... except that my speedo no longer works. I have a cable on order coming in. Hopefully that takes care of that! Did you make sure you had the gear housing in the same orientation as it came out? They have little notches to get it "timed" right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you make sure you had the gear housing in the same orientation as it came out? They have little notches to get it "timed" right. I did not notice that! Thanks for the tip. I didn't remove the gear housing, just the cable. I'll disassemble it and see if that helps once I get the new cable in. My speedo shuddered a bit before, may as well swap the cable, I think.

CGCWO Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Perfect build thread for me. I hope to be picking up a 1987 2.5 manual trans later this week and will be a regular visitor. Just finish a minor suspension upgrade on our 2010 JK, can't wait to start on the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share Posted November 1, 2014 Cool! Best advice I can give yoy is to take everything apart that you feel comfortable messing with and give it a good cleaning. These trucks are pretty simple and reliable, you just have to get caught up on the maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looky what I found at the local PnP! I got it for a dollar. Still debating whether or not to put it on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just been daily-driving it and exploring the local area. Here's some poser shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 Picked up a set of Anzo H4 housings. Here they are equipped with the El-cheapo bulbs that they came with compared to a Sylvania Silverstar headlight on the passenger side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about the cupholder it looks similar to the ones I used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Yep. I had never seen cupholders like that before. Where did you get yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBeast Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I got 1 of those cup holders from eBay just like that a few years back! Works well had it mounted in a sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Cool deal. :) I'll look them up. I dig it, but I feel hesitant to put it on my truck since I only have the one. I have a thing for symmetry. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 There was a link in the thread but I got it off ebay. They are called boat cupholders or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyt120 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I really like them because they fold up when not in use and are very compact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGCWO Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 They are designed for boats, actually work pretty well, some of the newer ones have adjustable grip arms so they would also be good off-road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjy_26 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Cool. Thanks for the heads up! I too like that they fold up and out of the way. Makes for a sleeker look when stowed but you still have cup holders when you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjy_26 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Haha mine still has the original also. Nice. I wish mine was original. The PO of the manual I have wrote down THEIR VIN in it. Kind of a bummer, but I won't dwell on it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
