88mjsally Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Got a new windshield in finally. Just have to put the trim on. Needs an alignment then I can finally start driving it to work. Might end up putting buckets in it since I have an extra set of brackets and a few extra sets of seats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjsally Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Trim is back on. Need to put the door panels back in and dash back together before it goes Friday for an alignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88mjsally Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Swapped out the starter because the old one had gotten really slow and I already had a new one on the shelf. Did a full tuneup as well with new plugs, msd wires and a cap and rotor. I’ve been driving it to work and it’s been doing well. Even put it to work cleaning out the yard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88mjsally Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share Posted August 26, 2022 Finally got the wipers working. Turned out to be a simple fix. The wiper delay module looked to have been submerged and very rusty inside. Changed that and the circuit breaker and now they work. Installed a trailer hitch too and haven’t done much else to this truck other than drive it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88mjsally Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Probably easier to do this as a list of the parts I used since it’s not really a kit other than the fenders. Rear axle: sterling cab and chassis 10.5 from a 1995 ford f-350 7.3 dually Front axle: Dana 30 hp from a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Front suspension: rough country 4.5” springs shocks and lower control arms. IRO adjustable track bar and rough country extended brake lines Rear suspension: stock mj springs and shocks with Barnes 4wd perches welded to the 10.5 spring over. Dually fenders: came out of Florida from a truck that was getting parted out. Unsure if they are JC Whitney or something else but they are for sure mj specific. Someone did fill in the fuel door so I used boat parts to add one back in. Front Bumper: arb from a 97-01 xj with a 12k badlands winch installed in it Wheels and tires: front wheels are from a newer jk with adapters. Rear wheels are just stock steelies with new but cheap mud tires. Brakes: 95-96 xj booster and master plumbed to mostly original lines with the rear prop valve deleted. I used a 91-96 xj brake pedal so I didn’t have to try to grind on the rod from the booster. that’s most of the details and I added all the pics I took so far. Eventual plans involve removing the worn out 4.0 and replacing it with a 5.3 lm7 and 4wd ax15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mjsally Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I got the ROL fog lights wired up over the weekend and installed a 12k winch I had from a parts jeep in the bumper. Also fixed the blinker issues I was having and put in all new LED bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88mjsally Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 Got some marker lights installed on the fenders. I don’t like drilling holes in impossible to find parts but I wanted them for safety and they make it look like a true dually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
