JohnQ Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Step one was to remove the camper top, running boards, tow mirrors, bedside decals and swap out the rear sliding window for a solid window. New rotors, brakes and a new gas tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnQ Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 My alternator died on me and left me stranded on a nice day with really good weather! Got rid of the stupid indiot light cluster so I could actually watch my gauges. This was fun having a column shifter. Had to do some cutting on the tack gauge for the shift indicator. Dressed it up with a kit from Azzy Designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Damn. Looks like a good clean MJ. Hopefully you didn’t toss the running boards as they look like the factory accessory ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 305/70/16 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I loved them but the dry rotted with only about 3000 miles on them. I purchased them in 2013. I still have them as rollers on my 1988 MJ.

JohnQ Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Currently have 31,881 miles on the old girl. I think my oil pressure switch is jacked up. Need to test it out. I found a 4wd AW4 and transfercase for sale today on market place! Hoping to get it this weekend if it looks alright. Guy parted out his XJ after the motor blew. 1991 year. He wants $500 for it.

JohnQ Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Removed the surface rust from my roof. Painted it with some Rustoleum. Installed some KilMat sound deadener. Installed a new headliner from SMS. Sun Visors are a little faded, but I have some material to have them redone someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
