MJXJjeepguy Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Sorry about the delay, arrive home late night and work in morning then work odd job after first job... Now I'm home to take a good picture.... Most of it, i don't really need lol i just grab it for unbeatable price!!
MJXJjeepguy Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Well seem like change the plan since i got another 91 Comanche in whole alot better shape than the first MJ! Here is original post about my new MJ link: This MJ will be post in same thread.
MJXJjeepguy Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 Well not much update lately, changed oil pan, rear main seal, oil pump, and fresh oil change. Alot of bolt on oil pan Hard part is take oil pan down u will need 4 or 5 different size of flathead screwdriver tapping by hammer easily little by a time u don't want damaged bottom of block. Finally got it remove for like hour, whew! Remove rear main and put new seal in. Paint oil pan in red along with new blue felpro gasket! No more leaking!!
MJXJjeepguy Posted April 30, 2019 Author Posted April 30, 2019 Then drove for week, my driver side brake caliper got locked up and had to replace off my other 91 MJ since can't find caliper anywhere at local auto store, and didnt really want to buy new caliper since I'm going covert it into 4x4 anytime really since i got everything off my donor XJ.

Gat'79 Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 I am about to tackle this very same job. However, I am unsure of my rear main seal, if it is as easily replaced without dropping the transmission. I have an 86 with the V6 manual 4x4.

Idk about that one, never experienced with 2.8 GM you should go and start thread in modification and repair tech so much eyes ball out there i sure there tons of guys with experienced with 2.8 GM engine. By the way on 4.0 no u don't need to remove or anything with transmission for rear main seal. and there is tons of write-up on how-to: replace the rear main seal.
MJXJjeepguy Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 Alright guys, not much update with MJ, but here what i did, i found good shape of cargo switch, unfortunately there is no cargo light len, and also i grab fog light switch with rear window defrost out of XJ. Cut it in half with flat bar and razor. And then overlap on cargo switch to make 2 switch in one panel. I need to find something to cover the line to make it look clean! Overall I'm happy with it.
MJXJjeepguy Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 I took dash off and replace dummy cluster to full gauge cluster out of 91 XJ Before After with different dash it like aluminum brushed style but it still plastic. I think i like it since it match my steering wheel, what you guys think? Here is close up. Also i ordered ididit shift indicators going on top of column so i can read on which gear.
MJXJjeepguy Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 Shift indicator had arrive and install right away.
Minuit Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Big fan of the brushed gauge bezel Enjoying watching your build!
