Sweet, I just used a coat hanger to set mine thanks...also you seem to be missing your e-brake
yeah. I've already gotten all the replacement cables. 16 bucks to my door.
Forgot to grab the equalizer from Doug's garage that came from the 87.
no worries. I wasn't gonna mess with it until I did the axle swap anyhow. I just found a wheel chock shaped rock and rock that.:laugh:

I hope you didn't buy Dorman cables, they're crap. On the other hand, the Raybestos cables I just put on my XJ are pretty good quality.
closeout made in the USA bendix cables. was a super lucky score on rockauto. THe boxes look old, so they're probably not crap.
got the valve cover done today. It's stopped leaving puddles. Was a mess underneath. I ended up pressure washing the valve cover and cleaning the CCV towers.
Not sure if it ever had an oil change. Has some sort of issue in the wiring harness right there. Stops the truck. I'm assuming it's CPS related.
Pops the blower fuse anytime you use an AC setting on the vent position. Runs all speeds fine in the vent/heat.
I know what you're thinking, a short in an AMC dash? GTFO. never happens. ever.

Methinks that a lot of things that didn't have oil next to them now have oil next to them again.
If it quits leaking then it's empty. That's pretty much the theory with $80 million helicopters, should work for your jeep too.

When you put the new windshield in, put a 97+ gasket/trim on instead of the early style.

This sounds like a cool trick, can you explain how it works? I had to pass on a set of WJ seats once because I couldn't get the seat to move to access the bolts.
Nice MJ, great to see another one being saved.

The connector coming directly out of the motor is a simple power/ground. You just need to jumper it to your battery of choice. I used a 20v cordless drill battery a couple weeks ago.
If it goes the wrong way, switch the polarity.
the 12V connection going to the seat base switch is underneath and goes under the carpet.
Cut it, shove wires to anything approximating 12V, use seat switch to check base. a 4s lipo is 15V. I happened to have my flight box in the car with batteries. like redheep said, a cordless drill battery works too.

Yeah, I use 18 volt cordless tool batteries for that all the time. If they go the wrong direction, I just tell them to go the other direction. I'm not picky about specifics, I just want it to move so I can get at the bolts.
hit WOT and 3K+ for the first time last night. It's got some pep, and massive torque lean. I should probably replace the swaybar bushings with 1/4" of air showing. Motor mounts are completely wasted.
Fixed the MAP vacuum line and that cleared up some of the off idle stumble. Runs fine at 1500+ RPM. Might be a vacuum leak yet. Weird things started after I did valve cover, so I disturbed something under the hood that's let to driveability issues.
Windshield leak is annoying.
Put fuel in it and got 19 MPG for the tank. That includes a few trips with 1k lbs of wood in the bed. So not terrible. Hell, Accord only averaged 22-23 combined.
Pretty happy with the Falkens for daily driving. Slightly noisier than the Hankooks. Still smell like cow poop. THey love to pick up and hold rocks until you're doing 55 though. I felt one in the floorboard this morning it hit so hard underneath.

Make you a deal on those JKS disconnects I have.
bring those to Harlan for the racecar. I'll pull the factory links before I load it in the wienerbox so we can campground install those. Tell my wife whatever they cost.
I'm not planning on doing anything that needs the swaybar disconnected in this pile.
I'll probably do mounts this weekend, I'm not trying to break my bellhousing like some people.

Ok. For your wife it's cheaper.
I got my wife talked into leaving on Tuesday, so we'll be there Tuesday afternoon.
