sang_route Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Hay someone built my truck, nice touch w the unimog axles.
WiscoXJ Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 No huge updates but all the wiring is back in. Heater core with the evaporator is installed. That was a treat to get that in.. Finished the floors. Decided that I'm going to put 2x6 steel in for the rockers to fix the rust and have sliders. Hopefully going to get the interior tied up next week and and get the motor in and axles swapped. Doesn't feel like it but it is coming together
rangell Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 I am starting the same thing 1990 Comanche, with a 1999 XJ.
WiscoXJ Posted March 4, 2015 Author Posted March 4, 2015 I am starting the same thing 1990 Comanche, with a 1999 XJ.Does the 99 have a lot of options? Mine was a base sport.. I would live to have power windows and locks
WiscoXJ Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Did a little wiring tonight. Finished one part of the HO dash to renix rear harness but then ran out of butane.. I currently lack the motivation to go down stairs to get more so I'm done for tonight    Also I decided today I'm going with 35" tires instead of 33's. The Mj was a 2wd 2.5 so it has 4.56's which will work for the 35's. So if anyone has a 4.56 gear set for a d30 pm me.
WiscoXJ Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Finally got a some time to work on it. Front end is mostly back together with the d30 in it now. Have to do some more wiring to adapt the column shifter column so the ho harness. Â And hopefully what it'll look like when its done
WiscoXJ Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Busted @$$ last night. Pulled the entire driveline in an hour and a half lol Pulled the exhaust manifold.. my old one was hardly attached lol guess that was my exhaust leak lol I'm going to transfer fuel lines and stuff while the engines out. My tcase is pissing fluid out the output seal so I may as well fix that too. Need to get an o2 sensor as well.   Here are the connectors I need to adapt to the mJ column  These are what the MJ ones look like  Ordered a xj service manual so hopefully that does the trick
WiscoXJ Posted March 22, 2015 Author Posted March 22, 2015 Getting rid of this BS. Ordered the boostwerks linkage Â
WiscoXJ Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Presents came today  Steering brace  Discos  Tcase linkage  And a radio I got through a rewards program at work
88whitemanche Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm eager to see how that boostwerks linkage works out for you...I want to grab the set for my ax15 swap,... Great progress! Keep it up!
WiscoXJ Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Gettem on! Get it Goin!I'm working on it! Full-time student and worker so its hard to find time. I'm eager to see how that boostwerks linkage works out for you...I want to grab the set for my ax15 swap,... Great progress! Keep it up! After I saw it I did a lot of reading because I didn't want it too suck, but it looks to have good reviews! I guess we'll see
WiscoXJ Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Been slacking on photos but I ended up swapping columns to avoid wiring. Engine is in. Rear axle is coming out Thursday to get the soa setup
WiscoXJ Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 so when I installed the heater core with AC I put an updated mopar gasket set on it due to the frequent leaking these vehicles have through that area. I even added some silicone. well, its been raining the past two days and I went out to check... passenger floor has over an inch standing water... FML. Guess the core is coming back out
WiscoXJ Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Got my gauges back together. Odometers matching. Modified the fuel gauge... we'll see if it works.... if it does ill tell everyone what I did haha
WiscoXJ Posted April 25, 2015 Author Posted April 25, 2015 Been slacking on updates... I have done a lot of work lately just no pictures. dash is in and all electrical is as well. Picking up my axle on Monday, tires are in finally. fuel system is getting finished too then just minor stuff to get her streetable! Â Will post pics soon!
Kickinmule Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Alright alright alright! So that's a 4.5 SOA iirc? Did you find 4:56s for your thirty?
WiscoXJ Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 Yup! Sits a tad higher in the rear but with sag it'll settle out and RE 4.5 springs in the front. Honestly I haven't even looked.. there's a huge auto event in 2 weeks so I'm just trying to get it there. First wheeling trip is end of Jones so as long as I have it set up by then ill b fine. Getting a front locker for it too
rustybottoms88 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Been awhile since I have checked out your build, you have gotten alot done. Looks good. BTW I have a pair of electric doors I would def swap for some manuals! The prob is I am in Arkansas and your in Wisconsin. lol
WiscoXJ Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 I would love power doors.. thatd be a hall for both of us
