First MJ(s)

[Awesome]

Friday we spent the evening getting the truck ready for a car show that my daughter wanted to enter. She washed it. More paint came off. 

 

It leaked in a few spots. It leaked from two places under the dash - one up in the passenger footwell, and one on top of the transmission tunnel, which I assume means a heater box leak. 

I don't know how water accesses these areas from outside the truck. Well, we needed to take stuff apart and paint it anyway, so I guess it's time for dash disassembly. 

 

Saturday we took part in the car show. Daughter had a lot of fun. She can't wait for Wednesday - she gets her learners permit.

Not much of an update yet this week.

 

Daughter got her permit this morning. She drove the TJ around town for about half an hour, then in the afternoon we took her MJ out to the pasture and she practiced shifting and hill starts. She did pretty good. A couple more sessions and I think she'll be ready to take her truck on the street.

 

I have a bunch of new stuff for her truck coming in the mail this week. Will post up as we get stuff finished up.

Oh, we did put the MJ into 4wd for a while in the pasture and it wasn't making any unusual sounds. No idea why I thought the transfer case was bad. Maybe the vacuum leaks were causing oddities with the CAD? Regardless, I need to check the CAD then install the front driveshaft.
