cody4359 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Did you tripple pass these after the pic or leave it single pass? I'm a fan of overbuilt, and it looks like you could have some more weld there. I'm always paranoid tho Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psifanboy Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I started on the nine again. got it all grinded down and rear for a final burn in for the perches and shock mounts. Going to move to calipers from 12 o clock to around 9 or 10 so i can bleed brakes properly. Hooked up the OBD2 scanner to see if worked and sure does. Had a bunch of codes from the instal and stuff but no major ones. did notice from the live data that my TPS % is way high so going to adjust that. start of the nine gosh my garage is a mess can't wait to have it back to normal lol The other money pits first snow in prolly 20 years. Been to cold to move into garage to work on it. Tonight i plan on burning the perches in and prolly shocks . then I will be able to back it out of garage under its own POWER! pretty exciting haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psifanboy Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 finally got to drive it under its own power last night. Still needs front shocks so that top on list and rear lights wired up. But the sum b*@$£ runs good, shifts and stops kinda lol speedo works to. adding that leaf in rear seemed to level it out some already putting it to work. snatch blocked the blazer off the trailer safely. well its been a long journey and felt real good to drive it around. like i said got a few things to finish up so its a driver and than it cage time.

psifanboy Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 just wondering what these nice rust free swapped mj s go for? just seeing if its anywhere near what i got into it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psifanboy Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 back to the jeep its almost street worthy. the front axle is i think 100% done. working on some wiring for tail lights and fans. I am having problems with my brake switch. the pedal sits about 1/2" away from bottom so might have to look into why but it will be road driving this week. also been tryin to get these dang led working properly going to try a curt trailer brake light adapter that has its own power and see what that does tonight.

psifanboy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 well after several hours of trying to get all the lights to work properly i finally got it. i ended up using a curt converter with its own power supply and using it for brake and turns. it had 1 wire for stop and tail and just wouldn't work so i ended up just running tail lights off a wire from passenger side and it all worked. so after i made sure it all worked i went and made it all look nice and half @$$ professional. Used grommets every time the wiring went threw metal. and electrical taped and wire loomed it up. turned out ok. also ran a couple extra wires for rock locks in future and drilled and grommeted more holes for more wire if needed. pics of process Image Not Found reverse lights kinda suck but they all work!

psifanboy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 well after that was all finallized guess what. it was legal and got to drive it around a lil. found out power steering hipressure hose is busted and o ring at oil filter adapter leaks but other than that this thing runs good. I did take it out again last night and got some death wobble so brought it back and was going over my set up.. i didnt have frame track bar bracket tight. whoops tightened it and went over the alignment and made some changes and seems to be all good now. Ill order some new front and rear drive shafts from Adams driveshafts in the next couple days. noticed my front one was flopppy at the slip yoke. its first cruise to gas station after rebuild haha found a lil rock hill to flex on. still has some left in it found some mud also. really need some rear fenders made soon haha now its time to put some miles on it and wheel it at local pond and see how suspension does. need to order some DOM soon so this thing can look complete. felt good to drive it around tho. Engine and trans sound great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
