88 Pioneer (Project Jeepy)


Recommended Posts

Introducing Project Jeepy!  This is a restoration project that i plan for my son to help me with as he grows up and it will become his first vehicle.  He will be 4 in september of this year.  My second MJ i have owned.  Plans are after restoration to add lift and 33's with front/rear bumpers and ls swap then just have fun with it.  A previous owner performed the 97+ XJ exterior swap.  She needs new rockers asap.  Currently sitting on 30x9.50.15 mud terrains and 15x8 Cragar's.

Been quite busy over the past couple of weeks.  Pulled front and rear light harnesses and fixed a lot of messed up wiring/splicing.  All front/rear lights now work with the exception of reverse lights but pretty certain i need a reverse light switch.  I also grabbed some headlight bucket springs since whomever did the 97+ conversion forgot about them.

Cluster swap from a 90 XJ Limited.  Got the newer oil pressure sending unit installed already, just waiting on the water temp sending unit.  Had also discovered the fuse for the gauge cluster was bad.  I then pulled the cluster back out to swap in the black bezel that was on my old "idiot light" cluster.  Looks much better now.

New brakes on the front and detail cleaned the tires/wheels that came on the truck when i bought it.  Also scored some pre-97 fender flares for the front and a 96XJ dash trim which i think looks a bit better than the older trim piece.  Going to scuff it and spray with some SEM Trim Black soon.

Trimmed the front flares even with the fenders.  And also installed some new headlight conversions.  I don't like the LED housings so i picked up these glass standard housings that have a removeable bulb.  And they are crystal clear so more of an OEM look but much better light output.

Little bit of engine bay work.  Deleted the fuel pump balast resistor.  Started deleting the EGR.  Also reworking the vacuum lines and going to relocate the charcoal canister to underneath the cab near the fuel tank.  I'm also starting to remove the old closed loop cooling items to go ahead and convert to open cooling.
