how's It treating You? the Lack Of A working Speedo Killed It For Me

 

[Swamprat]

Speedos are easy fixes

 

[sandsgg]

So Are Windshields.... Mines Still Cracked. Plus I Didnt Have The Time To Make It Properly Streetable. I Needed A reliable Clean Blank Canvas

Picked up front and rear driveshafts for a 4x4 5spd from my buddy's yard today... no cost to me. Just need the t-case now. Gonna pass on Ed's since I'm not gonna run an SYE yet.

Swamprat, I looked at the trans (and t case) and they were both pretty oily... I'd pass. He's planning to send them to S. America since he sells a lot of Jeep parts down there.

Stopped by PAP on Wilton Walker while I was down there. Snagged a rearview mirror and the temp sensor from a mid 90's fullsize GM truck, now I'll have a compass and outside temp without the roof console.

They also had a 99 XJ that had some serious rustworm. But it was 4wd and I got the t-case bezel. May go back to snag the shift lever, just didnt have the right tools to get it. And it had a decent license plate cover, but I didn't have torx bits. I need to build a better portable JY kit.

 

[Swamprat]

ahh oh well, i'll find a 4x4 ax15 and rear drive shaft somewhere.


and a side note, i hate torx bolts. they can go to hell and die. i always strip the torx bit before actually getting the bolt out.

I AlreadY Have One Vehicle With A Broken Speedo Don't Need Two

So I Got An Electric Fan And A Zj Fan Clutch Today, The Fan Clutch Doesn't Fit And It Bit My Hand
Also Found An 85 Xj With The 2.5 In The Jy Today, May Grab It's Axle Later

how long is the MJ rear shaft?

 

[Swamprat]

Long... im not sure. I know somewheres on the internet there are measurements

 

[Ecomike]

Some ZJ clutches are taller than others. It is a very tight fit. I have a three row radiator, thicker CSF, and the lower profile (about 1/4" less tall) ZJ clutch (Hayden brand I think) and the remaining gap is only 1/4", so I have to lean the radiator and condensor forward to R & R the clutch. And the engine and tranny mounts need to good.

Well the 2WD 89, AW4 is leaking out the rear bushing-seal in the tail cone faster now with brand new, TIGHT bushing and new seal, faster than with the old worn out parts!:tears:

Any clues what that might be all about?
