And so, another adventure begins. Not too long ago, back in February during an ice storm I picked up this little gem, an 1989 MJ 2wd, 4cyl, 4spd with A/C for cheap (wasn't running due to a leaky gas tank that had been removed).
Dragged it home, Temp fixed the tank and drove it around for a bit. Then Andy picked up a sweet parts XJ, matching color and I couldn't pass up the deal, so we drove to SC to pickup some parts. After a while of driving it around, the lack of power steering, No A/C charge, No radio, No power outlet, rain leaking in had finally pushed the project into overdrive.
Got the donor floor welded in today, cleaned up some also welded the pass seat bracket in and laid some seam sealer. (note, last time the seat bracket was too far forward, creating less leg room, driver seat bracket is now in the stock XJ location and the passenger is about one inch to the rear of the stock XJ location)
Made a lot of progress yesterday, got the HVAC installed, engine wiring, 6cyl motor brackets, fully bolted in the 4.5 Stroker engine/trans/tcase, exhaust and dash
Installed the steering column, replaced broken p/s res and temp sensor, installed wiper motor, compartment wiring, carpet, doors and fenders today, threw on the header panel for a pic. Going to make a JY run and grab a few parts tomorrow.
Hmmm, that's something I was thinking about the other day. My trail Jeep's wipers don't work. I have 5 late model wiper motors. I wonder how difficult it'd be to swap one of those into my 93 and wire it to a separate switch on high. I need to replace my windshield too.
