dasbulliwagen Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Just sat here and read all 10 pages. Love that you were making progress so quickly, only to have so much trouble. I feel for ya. Love the nice clean build though. You do good work. don't let this thing beat you. Maybe walk away from it for a while but don't give up. Good luck.

Jacob Ochs Posted December 6, 2016 Author Posted December 6, 2016 Put in a 50k engine I got off of Craigslist and it's running great so far! We will see, I'll try to get some pictures and maybe a video! I'd like to get a GoPro soon and get some good footage. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
wheelsaz08 Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Rinning it n/a or with the turbo? Awesome build!

Jacob Ochs Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 So, engine works great! But transmission just blew. That being said I'm going to sell the ECU harness and engine and swap 4.0 jeep with the ax15 in. Maybe supercharge it in the future. I never thought I'd pull an engine so any times!

Jacob Ochs Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 So, I guess I should change the name of this to 2.8 MJ to 3.4 Turbo MJ to 86 4.0 MJ haha. Slowly swapping all the wiring engine and ax15 from a 96 cherokee classic to my MJ! In excited to have all of the fancy gadgets (auto windows, cruise, ect..)

johnj92131 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 What was that you put on the floor, under the carpet? Know it is sound insulation, but what brand? And you will like the power window/door locks. Actually very nice in a daily driver. Or maybe I am just getting old...
HOrnbrod Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 XJ Limited door panels, si? Nice. What's the black circular thingie above the arm rest?
Wiggilez Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I'm going to guess it a small speaker. I can't remember the exact name for it.
johnj92131 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I'm going to guess it a small speaker. I can't remember the exact name for it. Tweeter? Any Pre 1997 XJ I have seen has them under the lower dash cover. 1997 and later had tweeters near the inside door handle. Never seen this set up before
Wiggilez Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah tweeters that's what I meant. I'm going to guess after market.
Jacob Ochs Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 They're tweeters that I installed! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk
Jacob Ochs Posted February 19, 2017 Author Posted February 19, 2017 Progress... slowly but shurely, interior complete, tail lights and fuel pump wired up, engine bay harness in place. Currently working on the fuel line and painting up engine accessory brackets this weekend. Next step will be fitting the engine and transmission and mounting the relocated transmission brace and welding on the front clip and radiator supports. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Tapatalk

Tex06 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 While you have it apart go with a 99+ Intake! Well worth the upgrade!
Jacob Ochs Posted March 6, 2017 Author Posted March 6, 2017 While you have it apart go with a 99+ Intake! Well worth the upgrade!They actually make a supercharger kit I was thinking about getting in the future that utilizes a custom intake, or else I would of bought a 99!

HOrnbrod Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 While you have it apart go with a 99+ Intake! Well worth the upgrade! Have you installed one?
HOrnbrod Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 They actually make a supercharger kit I was thinking about getting in the future that utilizes a custom intake, or else I would of bought a 99! The side mount Eaton M90 kit? That requires the later 3-bolt power steering mount which you already have, so you are good to go. I'm looking at this kit too. Go ahead and get it, and let me know how if flies. I'd trust your review on this kit over the canned recommendations from people I don't know. :yes:

Rambo is getting the DD treatment currently so the header, intake, valve seals, and brake booster are all on hold. Did get new tires though! :D And still looking for a unichip.
