'90 Pioneer Rebuild


Recommended Posts

Finally getting around to starting this process.  Picked up my second Jeep last summer (2016), MJ Pioneer, I-6, Manual, 4x4, Short Box. Mechanically in great shape. Some rust, of course, minor dents and dings, interior is pretty rough.  I've wanted a great truck, so I will make this one great. Here is where I started from:

A month after I bought it I found someone parting out an MJ to do an XJ conversion and I picked up a number of items for $150. Got exhaust manifold, front quarter panels, bench seat, interior door panels, front end grill, interior door panels, wiring harness and a few other misc. parts.

Step 1: Interior refresh. Here is where I am at.  I will post links to all the parts I am purchasing for the rebuild.  I am looking for advise on one part.  I am rebuilding the gear shift and no matter what I try, I cannot separate the gear lever from the shift rod.  I would rather buy new, but can't find a shift rod.  I have found other parts.  Don't want to try the junk yard because I am sure the rubber needs replacements, which puts me in the same place I am now trying to separate the two. Any sources out there?

I coated the back side of the headliner insulation with a rubberized coating to add rigidity and improve the road noise transmission.

And the first completed item:
