I mean if you knew your way around the Renix harness and could add the fuse contact into the box that would trigger the low water fluid light, you could do the later style bottle swap. 

I don't know if I want to play with the Renix harness more than I have. For now, the current one is OK. I have time to make a decision.

We got it started! Now we just need to track down a misfire. We think it has something to do with the MAP sensor, but hopefully I will find out for sure this weekend. Now I am just waiting on the clutch master cylinder/hydraulic line/slave cylinder assembly and an O2 sensor, and it should be good to put away for the winter.

Pretty picture!

 

In crappier news, my brand new rear main seal leaks.

Looks good, I like the color you chose for the engine. And I think painting the bay black was a good call, it all goes together nicely.

I had a mopar seal still leak on my old wj 4.0   
took my time and even used the mopar  anaerobic sealer and everything. Wish I knew what I had done wrong. Definitely sucks.

I drove it around the yard today! It seems so much more powerful now that it runs on all 6! And yes, I am still waiting on clutch parts, so I drove it around clutchless.

Both of the trucks are in the shop. The blue one is getting finished and the Ugly Truckling is getting started. 

[89 MJ]

This is probably the last update on the blue truck this year. I will be getting some parts to install this Christmas though, so those will be going on in the spring. 

She’s put away in the back of the shop with my Dad’s YJ.

My aunt got me a CC hoodie (thanks @amsuco for having these on Amazon), my Dad’s mom got me an REM, my mom’s mom got me one of @Minuit‘s radios, and my parents got me the K Duspension headlight relay harness, Hella H4 housings and bulbs for Christmas. 

[89 MJ]

Tested out my REM II, it’s going to be fun this spring!

Nice gifts!  Is your family looking to adopt?  I'm available.  I could be your older (but not necessarily more mature) brother!

My family has a very specific method for getting Christmas gifts. Text each family member a link to what you want and have them order it.
