Sir Sam Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Looking good ;Did u get the side mouldings? aka " water Proof" also? :D Lol no, but I am thinking that I might now, I would need like 3 sets plus alot of labor to make them work on the MJ. Plus another set of rear flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXWorks Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Are those flares wider than the 97+ flares? Look like they might be by just a touch in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Are those flares wider than the 97+ flares? Look like they might be by just a touch in the photos. No, not really any wider. a little "thicker" (outer face is larger), but thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Bought a parts jeep today, 2001, 48k, and abused: I just want it for the dash/interior stuff to convert the interior of the MJ, I am hoping the paint will come off, if not I will just replace the visible panels. Real shame someone spray painted the interior, it would have been otherwise nice parts. So it will have a number of parts for me to use, plus a 48k mile engine/trans to sell off, plus whatever misc parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Here in Ohio I have seen cars with 4x4s bolted on for a bumper. I guess in your neck of the woods they don't mess around, though. You'd collapse the frame before putting a wrinkle in that bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I would be interested in your old 97+ front end when you get the 2500 stuff swapped on. Let me know :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Bought this NV3550 for my MJ today for $550: As you can see the bellhousing is broken so I got him down by $50, its the wrong bellhousing for me anyways, pictured next to it is the correct bellhousing for the CRD engine.

Sir Sam Posted July 19, 2008 Author Share Posted July 19, 2008 MJ gets some new shoes: Got em for $300 locally, wheels are just about perfect, nar a scratch on them....for now. Got the master/slave combo out of a 96 today, gonna go back on sunday and grab a NP242. Here you can see the difference between the 4Liter bellhousing and the CRD bellhousing: Got the master/slave, plus a bunch of other junk for $26.

Sir Sam Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 Got in my indicator lights, APPS, and ECU. I only need a new injector top and some diesel before I can start this sucker up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Sam Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Damn you work fast... :) Good luck on the project! looks promising! :chug: Not quick enough. Got me a transfer case out of a 98 today' date=' paid $100 also got the wheel skid plate, and power seat pedistal for a grand total of $130. Not too shabby, I should told him it was out of a 94 and then it would have been $75. Lotsa junk in my garage: [img']http://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/MJ77.jpg[/img] All bolted together: Slave mocked up: A limited lace wheel and transfer skid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Looks like you've made some good progress and got some good deals. It's good to see someone else uses those little moving dollies. I've good about 4 or 5 of them now holding a couple of axles, tranny, 2.5 motor and tranny, and the 242 for the MJ. :D Best $10 little helper you can have. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Sam Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 Looking good Sir Sam :cheers: Are You considering any particular Clutch Kit upgrade for it? Regards. No, just stock clutch for now. No reason to replace it if it aint broken. Plus, I would have to find a new clutch overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
