- swap in clutch fan (twin stock e-fans don't cut it in the summer)
- get more spare front axleshafts

I think that's it...:dunno:. There's more I COULD do, but nothing that's a requirement.

[5spd_xj]

For the new Jeep, I need to

-weld on front to rear stiffeners
-get some spare front axleshafts/hubs for peace of mind
-make or buy quarter panel armor
-rocker replacements
-install bumper/winch
-steering box brace (ordered the c-rok yesterday)
-rework rear shocks/mounts

and like Colin, I'm sure there's more I could do but that stuff I'd definitely like to have taken care of...

really not bad at all :)

[5spd_xj]

-(?) design and fabricate anti-axle wrap mechanism (for the rear)

to do:
-dont break the jeep
-dont break the 30

[ktm racer 419]

I read somewhere that the 4.88's don't fit in one of the axles without doing some grinding. I forgot which one but I know it was one of mine. HP30/C8.25

hmm

never heard of the grinding

but until recently 4.56 was as deep as you could go in a 8.25

but now nitro gear offers 4.88's for the 8.25s

and nitro gear is good stuff

[MoparManiac]

I read somewhere that the 4.88's don't fit in one of the axles without doing some grinding. I forgot which one but I know it was one of mine. HP30/C8.25

Grind down one tooth on the 8.25 ring gear to get the cross shaft back into the carrier.

No big deal.

Go 4.88s or we will all make fun of you.

And you can't deal with Carmelo making fun of you...trust me.

[billyjp2]

i need to:
build axles
install axles
wheel till axles fall out

[MrShaft696]

To Do list...
Nothing, I am not allowed, we are getting married in Oct, But
I need to find a place to put my damn spare tire & be able to carry 2 passengers.

[ROBZ95Xj]

I need to find a place to put my damn spare tire & be able to carry 2 passengers.

in the cargo area? if you lay it down flat and to one side it fits

[billyjp2]

I <3 ghetto bracketry.

is there any other kind?

[ARB-XJ]

Must do:
SYE
Gas skid
SB brace
new tie rod

Want to do:
front locker

[chedisme]

need to install:
rocker skids
flairs

need to buy:
some upgrade to the stock steering

need to get:
something

[MrShaft696]

in the cargo area? if you lay it down flat and to one side it fits

sup rob, this is how I roll now, extra fluids in the bin, spare driveshaft & tie rod under the deck.
http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu246/mrshaft696/jeep%20work/scan1154.jpg

I have a stock tire carrier as seen here....
http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu246/mrshaft696/jeep%20work/scan1141.jpg

The carrier does not work with a 33, the tire is too wide and heavy to be latched onto the hatch. It has to be spaced out and rattles/wiggles like a bitch. So I just want to modify it so that it latches to the bumper and not the hatch. I need the room in the trunk to go on trips etc, sometimes I go with 3 other people so filling the hatch with tire is out of the question & so is putting it on the roof, because I haul kayaks up there.

[CountryXJer]

Congrats MrShaft696!
Nothing to do to MRDUTCH!
No sense messing with what works for me!

[Veeb0rg]

To do:

Install front bumper
Install Rock Rails
Upgrade to abs axle shafts upfront
SYE and adjust linkage so 4lo works.
Install Diff Cover/Gas Tank skid/Transfer Skid
Find a set of 31's.

[themangeraaad]

I suppose I have 2 "to do" list options:
Common items:
-Unibody tie-in's for rear bumper
-new front bumper mounts (unibody tie-in's)
-maybe a winch on front bumper
-maybe/hopefully rock rails
-SYE
-hopefully skids

Axles option 1:
-XJ width 9" rebuilt
-regear D30

Axles option 2:
-HP44/9" built and installed (and geared to at least 4.88's)

If option 2 is pursued it will most likely involve a long arm kit being fabbed/installed as well, though option 1 may also involve long arms.

[RCman]

Here's the full list, I think I probably left out a few minor things. Lot of work to do before a shakedown run.

To do/build:

Front driveshaft (cut down a stocker for now)
Re-gear front D60
Final assembly both axles
Cover hole in pass floor from link mount
Belly pan
Skin rockers
Paint interior
Remount seats, harnesses, etc

To do/buy:
Front spindles
Rear driveshaft
Trans Cooler
Triple rate springs/sliders
Brake hoses
Mopar TPS and IAC
CSF 3-Core Radiator
3/8" UHMW
Winch (optional)
Misc Hardware
Battery

bill, that's gotta feel good that you actually have it down to a list short enough worth posting.

[MoparManiac]

You need to add "shakedown run" to that list of yours Bill.

:D

Not much to do on my heep...

finish rear bumper and put that on
put in new front shafts
winch controls
disc conversion
WJ booster/MC swap

none of that really has to get done to wheel it though, I just need a couple stupid little things and then I can wheel.

[MoparManiac]

To do:
- weld on HD stiffeners (get rears too probably)
- swap in clutch fan (twin stock e-fans don't cut it in the summer) ||| DONE
- get more spare front axleshafts ||| Getting some from Mark on Saturday

I think that's it...:dunno:. There's more I COULD do, but nothing that's a requirement.

Damn I'm on a roll...even got my bumper/winch mounted this past weekend with the help of Adam.

[foxwar71]

actual things that should be done:
-front pinion bearingsDONE!!!
*even went the extra mile and did a new yoke, seal, and nut*



biggest thing to do:
-commit to goingKINDA DONE!!



the biggest concerns in the jeep are now taken care of. as long as nothing else too major happens, the jeep is good to go.


Yes, the rear brakes are almost almost ALMOST toast, but theyll last enough as long as i stop driving it as much. i also need to stop driving it so the outta balance front d-shaft doesnt eat another pinion bearing

[ktm racer 419]

splurge a little and pick up a $40 driveshaft and $15 brakes

[Andy in Pa.]

Damn I'm on a roll...even got my bumper/winch mounted this past weekend with the help of Adam.

New bumper/winch?? What did you get? PICS!!

[asp]

oh man that's really babying your jeep sam.

[MoparManiac]

New bumper/winch?? What did you get? PICS!!

A chance to picwhore my new bumper/winch...?

OF COURSE!

AJ built me a tucked in slickrok, and i bought an m8000.

BLAM!

Adam came over on Sunday and helped me remote mount the solenoid box under the hood. Connector is run to the header panel.

[foxwar71]

splurge a little and pick up a $40 driveshaft and $15 brakes


I might/probably will grab another d-shaft, but id rather find a source on just a longer travel slip yoke and spline section like a woods shaft and build my own.

if i could rebuild the rear brakes for $15 i would, im just too cheap to buy everything since it should be all rebuilt. i MAY swap some discs on, but only if i can pull a complete JY setup for under $40

[xjlongo]

I kinda feel left out because i dont have a long list.
1)Fix my loose lower control arms
2)Fix my winch
3)Get some spare parts(Just in case)

[Begster]

Haha, this bumper went head first into many trees yesterday, including a 15-20mph or so head-on impact, which bent the plated front unibody.

I think Colin should add something to his list.

-Get a new Jeep because this one probably won't last until NACfest

if we have another 2 or 3 runs before nacfest, my jeep will deffinently probably be way too tweaked

I'm somewhat scared to take my Jeep up to your place when I finally get it back on its feet. I'm not quite like Colin, Ross or Rob, I try to avoid body damage.

[MoparManiac]

Colin where you staying at night?

Sorry I don't swing that way... :dunno:

:D

I'm not quite like Colin, Ross or Rob, I don't actually wheel

FIFY :D

[MrSimon]

[ROBZ95Xj]

Rob, I try to avoid body damage.

ive never tried to get body damage, just take wild lines and get body damage

[ROBZ95Xj]

uh put engine from 93 into 98, drive to nac fest, ride beotch


i know it aint gonna happen but if the 95 was to make it heres the list

frt 60, gears, locker, mounts, steering, drive flanges, 35 spline stubs

rear 70, weld diff, mounts, brakes

install trans from 93

buy and install atlas

driveshafts

bumpers sliders and cage

skids

floors

buy tow rig and trailer

maybee i should sell a kidney and a lung so i can take the 95 to nacfest

[Begster]

I'm not quite like Colin, Ross or Rob, I don't actually wheel


FIFY :D
How do you think I avoid body damage? :dunno:

[rweaver138]

heres my list

install front and rear axles

front tow hooks

rock rails

fix cb wiring

gas tank skid

t-case skid

...all i can think of for now

[Rob Mayercik]

Guess it's time to codify my list:

1. Install HD tie rod
2. Paint/Install JCR TCase Skid
3. Install lift parts (to get from 2" to about 3")
4. Source/install new power antenna
5. Fix power mirror wiring
6. Readjust deflators from 12psi up to 18psi

[js_customs]

finish rear bumper and put that on
put in new front shafts
winch controls
disc conversion
WJ booster/MC swap
new drag link
figure out why my ARB doesn't work



Added a few more things to my list...I think I'm supposed to cross stuff off not add stuff...damn it

WJ booster/MC swap is now a must. My master cylinder has been crappy for a while but it's to the point now where I cant drive it...gonna try to do that this weekend

[themangeraaad]

I suppose I have 2 "to do" list options:
Common items:
-Unibody tie-in's for rear bumper
-new front bumper mounts (unibody tie-in's)
-maybe a winch on front bumper
-maybe/hopefully rock rails - CHECK [pending]
-SYE - CHECK
-hopefully skids - CHECK [pending on whether they are sold yet]
-297x D30 shafts - Added - Hopefully taking care of this this weekend

Axles option 1: - CHECK
-XJ width 9" rebuilt
-regear D30 - (with truetrac and diff cover)

Possibly long arms

So I have come quite a bit further than I expected already, updated items in bold... The bumper tie-ins are just a matter of picking up some steel. And the winch/long arms I think are largely dependent on how the taxes look.

I really hope the guy with the skids that I emailed gets back to me soon... That would knock another item off my list.

[rweaver138]

heres my list

install front and rear axles

front tow hooks

rock rails

fix cb wiring

gas tank skid

t-case skid

...all i can think of for now

very tempted to break out the credit card and take advantage of JCR's current sale and get some good bumpers, and sliders :spin1:

[asp]

shall i be the first to do a list for this year?

to do:
-get axles from travis and swap them in done
-design and fabricate 3 link and cross member mostly designed
-weld on ruff stuff stiffeners
-make 3x3 angle iron stiffeners for the rear of the unibody
-make shock hoop things that go through the floor for the rear shocks and rework rear bumpstops
-fix lots of rust (this one could take quite a while) in progress
-weld in 2x6 rocker replacements and tie into unibody rails
-swap transmission/transfercase(s)

to buy:
-DOM and rect tube for 3 link and crossmember need DOM still
-tube adapters done
-joints for 3 link done
-clutch
-rims and tires (haven't even decided what kind i want yet)

i also decided to make a doubler out of a np231 front half and a D300... so add that to my list.

i'll be lucky to finish for fall crawl. but if by some miracle i'm done by nacfest, i'll be there.

[MoparManiac]

You could totally make fall crawl. Let me fix that list for you.

This is all you have left that you NEED to do.

shall i be the first to do a list for this year?

And skip the doubler for now. Build it over the summer. You're totally going to regret not being able to go.

[billyjp2]

its more fun to wheel now than build stuff for later

[themangeraaad]

its more fun to wheel now than build stuff for later

I figure once my rig is up and running that leave me 1-2 weekends per month of wheeling and week nights and the other weekends to work on the Jeep. My goal is to upgrade but to keep the Jeep in a functional state at all times. I.e. a new transfer case will not go in until I have it completely done and have everything I need to fully complete that part of the project.

...That coming from a guy who hasn't driven his Jeep for more than 5 hours in the past 20 months :rolleyes: Maybe I should just go shuddup until I get out wheeling at least once.

[asp]

nope. doing it once, doing it right. i like building stuff just as much as i like wheeling.

[billyjp2]

nope. doing it once, doing it right. i like building stuff just as much as i like wheeling.

[ROBZ95Xj]

So did you sell the kidney or the lung? .!.:D.!.

sold the kidney to buy the atlas and traded the lung for a extra liver

[5spd_xj]

That's cool... by the way... I sincerely hope you finish your build, and I wish you the best of luck with it... Buttttt if you end up parting it out instead, DIBS on the Atlas :)

That is not what you want. You would much rather see my awesome rig that hasn't done any real wheeling in 3 years with an atlas..

[ktm racer 419]

if i part it out im so putting the atlas in the 98. i be so awsome to have a dd on 31's with a atlas

i used to wheel with a guy who had an atlas with stock axles a 4" lift and 32's

he also had 4 steering stabilizers

then he got a girlfriend and dissapeared

[ROBZ95Xj]

so i need 5 steering stabling things?

if you want to be a 1 upper, sure

[Hackmeister]

All i want for this is to get my 7100s on, and maybe a front aussie. Maybe some actual 4" springs instead of the already sagging again OMEs with 2" spacers, along with the new OME springs which are sagged AGAIN. Also, maybe a higher clearance bellypan thing. when do signups start? i don't really feel like rea

fuel/brake systems seem to be the biggest thing left, and that's not even bad! well, a bumper too, but damn, you're CLOSE! :woohoo:

[RCman]

fuel/brake systems seem to be the biggest thing left, and that's not even bad! well, a bumper too, but damn, you're CLOSE! :woohoo: Yup, I've got the entire front end from the windshield forward out (minus the engine and 1/2 the harness) and all over the place. I need to assemble all of that and then run my lines.
Depending on time I might "loan" Colin's old front bumper just for NACFest. We'll see. The front bumper and the outer fenders are the absolute last on the list.

[5spd_xj]

Sounds like one or two solid, focused weekends and you'll be cruisinnnnnnn :thumbup:

[RCman]

Sounds like one or two solid, focused weekends and you'll be cruisinnnnnnn :thumbup:Hahahahahahaha! I wish.
It will be much more than "just" two weekends. There is a lot of little stuff not on the list that eats time. I'm shooting for "about" a month.

[vetteboy]

- figure out why my t-case front output pops out of low range
- wheel this coming weekend (pending above) and the weekend of the RCQ
- take out rear axle & crossmember, rework for coilovers
- new frame-side mounts for coilovers
- acquire coilovers, springs, sliders, etc
- reinstall axle & crossmember
- NAC-Fest

Guess that ain't too bad, right?

[scully]

-find and buy a 2 door
-put parts on
-cut stuff off
-add more parts
-wheel

Anytime you need an optimistic attitude, you just call this guy :cool::thumbup:

- figure out why my t-case front output pops out of low range
they have a tendancy to do that. take the shifter rail out and grind a deeper slot or get a stiffer spring.

It's a bit more complicated than that...

http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=882110

Never had any issue at all until I did the 32-spline shaft upgrades.

[cmelo]

My to-do list:

-Make enough money to fix my rig and bring it

I just realized I'll only have $300($100 goes just to a place to stay) and it would cost $250(very optimistic calculation) to drive the J10 down. Don't get me started on how much it's going to cost to get that truck back running.

WITH THAT SAID
-I'm eating nothing but turkey sandwiches and saving all my money and devoting any time possible to get to wheel down there this year. Trying to sell some stuff too!

WOOOOO NACFEST!!!

I can get it together and I can get down there BUT getting it together then affording to drive it down is another thing.

[mini=man]

Forget the way back. It's a HONCHO that bisch will telaport you back!

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

A To Do List? hahahahahahahahahahaha!! (That's a bitter laugh. I'm still pissed at swamping the XJ)

1 - buy decent padding and install "new" carpet. Put the interior back together (with me doing the work myself that will take a whole damn month).
2 - replace headliner (Another month since a full length OHC is involved)
3 - source some decent, cheap 4" coils somewhere & maybe some leafs (then figure out whether my OME Long Travel shocks will still work)
4 - get the Swampers mounted, balanced & on the XJ

[Ricker]

Swamped?
Remember, rocks good, water bad............

[kastein]

FYI - OHC is *easy* to swap. I've done a full install of one including all the wiring in under an hour.

Pull that screw out, slide it back till it drops down, slide it forward, disconnect wires, done!

[Mighty.Mighty_XJ]

Ha, "easy" is relative to the doer, Kastein.
We'll see Grasshopper, we'll see. Wish me luck!

[xcalibur223]

Ok since I'm keeping the current Jeep running for NAC fest here is my list...
Install adjustable uppers
Paint and install rock sliders
pick up 29sp 8.25 and install (or just upgrade current 8.25 to 29sp)
Gear to 4.10 (wishful thinking)
buy t-case skid and install... thinking JCR
Front aussie buy and install... still up in the air on this

[Justpunchit]

Still to do on my Green XJ:

Finish trac-bar
Plumb fuel lines
Plumb brake lines
Finish passenger rocker and floor
Finish rear floor and rear inner fenders
Put front clip back on
Finish up cooling system
Install front locker
Install interior and E-brake
Paint

I think that's it for now. I hope....

[D.I.T.A]

finished my SYE after braking the tap off in the rear output shaft :gee: so next things are e-fan conversion and OBA or a WJ booster

You better be doing the WJ booster... I want your old MC/booster before Nacfest. :twak:

[themangeraaad]

You better be doing the WJ booster... I want your old MC/booster before Nacfest. :twak:

I just swapped in a '96 XJ booster so I have my old single diaphragm booster/master if that's what you are looking for and can figure out some way to get it from MA to NJ

And with that, I can now (almost) knock of brakes from the list. got my rear disks installed and a ZJ prop w/ XJ Dual Diaphragm booster installed. Then I went to bleed it out and one of the soft lines for the rear calipers is leaking.... so almost done.

And I have everything to do my steering, finally found a big ass tap wrench so I am getting to work on that as soon as I can get a table/vice built/setup.

And I have [almost] all the steel required to plate my unibody and do high clearance rockers w/ unibody tie-ins/boatsides. Just gotta get something to plate over the legs from unibody to rocker whenever I get that far along.

No he's supposed to be doing the WJ in his 95( i think its a 95 might be a 96). I'm supposed to get the dual booster/mc from him.

[Begster]

No he's supposed to be doing the WJ in his 95( i think its a 95 might be a 96). I'm supposed to get the dual booster/mc from him.

Umm, why is he doing that? You know they are essentially the same boosters right?

[kastein]

Umm, why is he doing that? You know they are essentially the same boosters right?
My bet is that the MC on the WJ setup has a larger bore, but I'm not sure and this could be complete BS info. Probably easier to swap the MC and booster as a unit rather than putting the WJ MC on a 95/96 booster :dunno: booster and master cylinder specs are something I know very little about.

[xcalibur223]

I've definitely heard there is a difference... I don't remember if it was that significant or if it was that much of a difference. Might have been the bore like Ken said.

[5spd_xj]

For the new Jeep, I need to

-weld on front to rear stiffeners
-get some spare front axleshafts/hubs for peace of mind
-make or buy quarter panel armor
-rocker replacements
-install bumper/winch
-steering box brace (ordered the c-rok yesterday)
-rework rear shocks/mounts

and like Colin, I'm sure there's more I could do but that stuff I'd definitely like to have taken care of...

really not bad at all :)

so, uhhh, well, colin offered his stock 60 shafts/hubs for me to bring as spares... as for the rest of the list? :conceited

I think I'm going to skip the rocker replacements and quarter panel armor for now most likely, and I'll install the bumper/winch/steering brace as soon as I get the bumper from Mark. I keep saying it...but maybe this weekend :laugh:

its already be proven possible to ruin a perfectly good unibody and then do a bunch of work to it to make it all good again. in fact, i think this jeep has some experience in that.....

haha. poor Simon. he should call the towing company ahead and tell them all the days of the month he plans on wheeling and tell them to meet him at RC at 5pm.

but when he gets this done there will literally be nothing original left on his MJ other then the body. which Im told has very little rust. so what else could possibly go wrong?

[MrShaft696]

haha yes, well on a lighter note I am registered!

[Victor S.]

Didn't he break some other stuff last year too??!!! jjeeeezeeee

He broke his track bar, broke a front axle joint, and puked tranny fluid, if I recall.

[MrSimon]

Don't forget about the TWO times that my tranny left me stranded.

I found a good 74k engine out of a 99XJ!!!! It is being installed as we speak. It will be done for NACFest, but I'm sure something will go wrong and I'll end up riding shotgun.

Dundy - lol, good markups. I have some of that on there because it's been nagging me for a while now (note that I don't have anything tagged in terms of criticality), notably the power mirror wiring harness that I built myself which stopped working.

As to the antenna, I've been using a Walkman and cassette adapter to listen to FM since RocktoberFest, and it's really getting old. Fortunately, no longer having the front fender splash shields makes that a quick job once I get a working one.

Really I won't even have a place to mount it unless I can build a bumper in time. I need to get some seat time behind it before NACFest and I do have Colin's old MJ bumper and tow hooks. Not the best, but I appreciate him letting me use them if I need 'em.

Hey Paul is that the same jeep that we did the gasket to? If so what happened? Don't forget that the one bolt was tapped crooked.

Yea same one. Dunno really. It's fine when it's warm out but over the winter it was leaking from the top front. It's not a necessity as of right now but I figure if I'm going to have the valve cover off than might as well do that to.

I am adding a rear traction/anti-wrap bar to my list of "To-Do's" before NAC-Fest. Timmay over at Liquid Iron Industries is going to build me one, I just have to find the time to get it on the XJ...:banghead:

Keyless entry retrofit

Am I to understand you fitted a radio transmitter style keyless entry from say a '97+ into your '92, replacing the IR system?

[Rob Mayercik]

Am I to understand you fitted a radio transmitter style keyless entry from say a '97+ into your '92, replacing the IR system?

Not exactly - everything I found online indicated that the 97+ XJ keyless system was dependent on the BCM (body control module) and if you didn't have at least one remote already programmed to it, a dealer scan tool to program remotes.

What I actually did was swap in the keyless entry module from a 95 Chrysler Concorde, which is RF-based, but self-contained (supply +12V to one line and pull another to ground, and it goes into "learning mode" all by itself). I based my work on this link I found:

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/ir-rf-keyless-entry-conversion-676076/ (http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/ir-rf-keyless-entry-conversion-676076/)

Where a fellow did the same change to his ZJ. Seems 93-97 LH sedans (and, supposedly, some RAM pickups in that general period)all used this particular self-contained module.

All I had to do was pore through the wiring schematics in my FSM to figure out which lines to splice to B+, Ground, Unlock Relay, and Lock Relay on the harness in my XJ. Turned out to be really easy - the module slips between the roof and headliner nicely without rattling around, and with fresh batteries in the remote (found a RKE module and fob as a matched set from the same vehicle for about $30 on eBay) I can now lock/unlock my Jeep from as much as 30 feet away. For the moment I have to hit the unlock button twice, but the RKE module has a separate line for just the LF door as well - I'm thinking of either tying that into the unlock relay line too with a diode, or trying to run a wire down into the LF door and create a LF-only unlock function (will require some sort of diode since it looks like it's a single supply voltage fanned out from the relay to all four doors), but I'll worry about deciding that after NACFest - the original XJ functionality has been replicated, and that's good enough for now. I also need to set up the two SPST switches I bought to make entering learning mode easier (right now I did it with crimp-on QD connectors, but that's only temporary).

Looking back, I'm not sure how I'd have gotten the module tucked up into the headliner had I stayed with my original piece, though - the dome light hole might have been too small. Fortunately, my original liner was shot and I had the 97+ one ready to go in, so now I just have to drop the front domelight (which is bigger on later models) to open my "service port".

Since I saw over in the other forum you're coming to NACFest, you're welcome to track me down and have a look.

If I have 4x4 working in the MJ by then, sure. I need to throw together some recovery points for it too :eyes: If I don't have 4x4 working by then... well maybe, depending on how easy the trails are, I can always back out. Last time I actually was there for a trailride the whole place was a skating rink, so I'm not really familiar with what the trails look like normally.

It's only got a d35 in it right now, but I'll be shocked if I manage to blow that thing up with 225s on it.

Yeah .... like that thing wouldn't get some serious looks in the parking lot at my work. Maybe I'll park it right next to my bosses little Mercedes convertible ..... on second thought, maybe I'll park it ON the little convertible!!! LOL!

I've been driving it around a bit and the only thing I notice is a weird burning smell when I'm sitting at stop lights. The truck isn't running hot or anything - its more of an electric related melting smell.

I figure I'll just put a bottle of water in the glove box and not worry about it.

[RCman]

My new list:

- Wire trailer brake control into truck.
- Pick up trailer
- Wheel more.
- Maybe build a front bumper.

[Hackmeister]

my list (if i can make it):

get a pile of spare shafts and whatnot
don't bother fixing side mirrors since they'll smash off anyways
wire up toggle switch for electric fan
maybe a fluid change for the transmission and tcase

hah I had pretty good luck with my fixed mirrors for a while, they took alot of hits & bent really far a couple times, but last time the mirror started to bend and the glass just exploded. So ill wait till after nac fest to fix it, so thats on the back burner list.

[Hackmeister]

my driver side mirror wasn't even a fold-away one, so although it's actually still hanging on (sort of) but pulled the bolts through the holes in the sheet metal, and crinkled the door a little bit. it's going to take some "massaging" to fix that up good

oh maybe Ill get to use the mini fire extinguisher I bought last year!

[5spd_xj]

my main (only) thing left that I'm shooting for... take t-case out, put t-case in. :)

[kastein]

What are you gonna do about the unibody cracks?

Also, after trying and failing to put out a brush fire I found with a mini extinguisher... Guys, don't bother with those. Get the full size kitchen one so your attempts make more of a difference than a fart in a hurricane. If my engine bay was on fire I would have been all kinds of screwed.

[5spd_xj]

look at them once in awhile? :dunno:

It'll get taken care of eventually. Last weekend I went wheeling, it didn't get any worse. I'm not doing any more wheeling before NACfest, so as far as I'm concerned it's not a major concern.

[MrSimon]

oh maybe Ill get to use the mini fire extinguisher I bought last year!

You shouldn't have to use it afterall. I found some wires going into the fuse panel under the dash that were all melting together. I wasn't sure what they do, so I just unplugged them from the fuse panel and wrapped the ends in scotch tape. It still starts so I'm good to go - and no more burning smell.

[BillDunn83]

jordan you are nuts....

[chedisme]

I wasn't sure what they do, so I just unplugged them from the fuse panel


haha. they probably go to something you wired in. like the CB or fancy front ARB.

[MrSimon]

Nah .... I was just fool'n.

The smell was coming from the new muffler - there was still a little of the plastic wrapping stuck in some hard to reach places. It should burn off pretty soon.

Honestly, the Jeep is in the best shape its ever been in. New engine is running great .... suspension is all tuned and ready .... tires and wheels are balanced properly .... everything should be good to go!!!!

I'm hoping for three trouble-free days of wheeling at NACFest.

[Andy in Pa.]

LOL... (reading between the lines)
In other words, it wasn't the melted wires, the truck wouldn't start, NOTHING worked.... so he had to put them back in using wire nuts...

- maybe clean it?

CTD

- oil change/rotate tires
- possibly rolling/locking tonneau cover?

[themangeraaad]

So I think the biggest thing I gotta get done now is to make up some nut strips and unibody tie-ins for the rear bumper and trim down/install the front bumper bracket things. Otherwise the gear break-in is going pretty well and all should be good (I hope).

Oh and I also need to get a carpet installed up front to kill some of the heat from the trans tunnel, etc. No way in hell I want to deal with a 6+ hour drive without it. :laugh3: Would be different if I had AC to combat the heat but I may or may not have killed my AC with a drill while installing my swaybar disconnect straps years back :rolleyes:

Oh and a radio would be nice too. Hopefully stopping by the JY tomorrow and going to see what head units they have pulled and such. Found a couple on CL for $50 that I might buy if the JY doesn't have anything for me. So tomorrow might be carpet/radio/headliner/etc day. And an alignment. The right hand pull is starting to get old fast.

Tow Rig:
1. Alignment
2. Rotate Tires

Crap... added to my list yesterday.

* 4WD swap (haha, right, only if I manage to rent a garage somewhere)
* find out how I lost 1-2 pints of brake fluid over the last week, fix it. I think it's a flare on the top of the prop valve but I'm not sure.
* figure out why exactly my power steering pump started whining loudly after I ran St Anthony Street and Swan Ave last night (laugh all you want, after the last few thunderstorms we've had, they're green trails!) and maybe convince myself to care enough to fix it

[rweaver138]

its not a JCR bumper, i already contacted them and they said it wouldnt work, but i think i would be able to modify them

The swamp ass meter was at its most highest levels here over the weekend. I was working out in front of my house & had to take numerous breaks, so I did not turn into liquid. Jeep is just about ready, just need to change the oil & re-check everything next weekend.

I am buying it new balljoints for the passenger side tomorrow (the ones in it right now have some pretty scary play in them, the wheel was flopping back and forth a little when I tightened the lugnuts on it and the knuckle moves up and down about 1/8"!) and then I just gotta put the tow hooks on and build the trailer hitch for the back.
