88AKChief Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nothing recently. i need to pick up a bumper and vaccum canister and get a new muffler put in it id like to do that myself but i don't posses the welding skills necessary. I replaced the shoes last weekend and am waiting on a new parking brake cable! there's mostly just a lot of little things to do. I got a line on some rear disc brakes and maybe a new rear axle! was considering heading down to anchorage this weekend to see about picking up a new AX 15 but other than hopes and dreams I havent had the oppurtunity to put much into it.

88AKChief Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 So i did get a new bumper and vaccum canister, and the funny thing happened when I plugged in the new vaccum canister all my emissions lights went you!? i thought that was just a clock spring that tripped at a certain number of miles??? new parking brake cable is in, i can't tell if the rear brakes are actuating with the front brakes. i did put the new e brake cable in and that works wonders now. but the actual hydraulic brakes i can't tell if theyre even working.

88AKChief Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Ok So its been a while I've made some pretty good forward progress I believe I picked up a couple more tools ive been waiting on, and ive been correcting a few minor issues here and there! From my previous post here's a picture of the new to me bumper! it came complete with new mounting brackets both end caps and even had the vaccum canister installed. When i plugged that little guy in everything that wasn't working suddenly began working! My Emissions Maint light went out and the engine started behaving! Somebody had asked about the plenum from the center console install the one on the left is out of a cherokee with a full console (same one my console came from) the one on the right is the stock MJ console. If you replace this component when you install the cherokee full center console you will not have to cut any part of it for it to fit correctly it will also blow air behind the seats, which is nice in a place like Alaska. here's another view of the installation of the plenum and the airduct that runs under the console. I got a new muffler and cat, as stated before I'm not a professional welder, I've only recently begun to learn but it turned out pretty well. not the prettiest welds but theyll do for this application. Installed. And off topic: took a little bit of time to clean up the Garage and built a handy little welding cart, Still have a couple more features to add to it, but it does a pretty good job, it was also an excuse to get some stick time in on the welder to learn a thing or two.

wombat Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Your welder can do stick and mig? Thats pretty sweet, is it 220I assume? How is it holding up? I've been hunting for one, and have been looking at othe options from the standard "big name" welders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88AKChief Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Yes it is 220v and it does both stick and mig. I love it. easily the best purchase i have made, theres a few reviews of them on youtube that I think are pretty accurate and fair its the Power Imig 205, Everlast just started selling them this year. its pretty sturdy and holds a ten pound spool wire feed is excellent, and the Stick welding feature is pretty awesome. Its got all digital controls and is super easy to work with. and for the price you just can't complain a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
