Impending Fixation

Sorry I missed that part. I just saw where it said 79 each for 4 or more. At this price I can do it.

Dirky- I know you were just making a joke. Internet sarcasm is hard.

Phase I - dropping truck off at Shrekie-Poo's house over an hour away from mine COMPLETE.

So what is he doing to it?

1. RMS
2. FMS
3. Oil pan gasket
4. Oil filter adapter o-rings
5. Complete cooling system conversion from closed to open, tstat, WP, hoses
6. Trans fluid cooler with temp gauge
7. I think also getting rid of the leaking quick disconnects for the trans fluid lines

Also I think he will be altering the end of the booster rod of my 1996 booster so I can swap it. That was a last minute addition so I'm not sure on that one yet.

These are a lot of things that I could do but that I don't particularly wanted to do in my driveway. Plus, if something breaks, I know where he lives

When I get it back, I'll be doing a caliper swap, the booster swap and continuing trying to fix the stupid idle.

I tell Shrek about 3x per day about how excited I am. I bet he's tired of hearing it.

Phase II is in progress.

 

[PacificEd]

Phase II is the work being performed?

 

[Mr.Shrek]

Nope it's the spring over, lift and 4wd conversion

Phase II is the work being performed?

Yes indeed. I hope to pick it up pretty soon. So exciting!

Nope it's the spring over, lift and 4wd conversion

This isn't the first I've heard of this! With the exception of fixing the spring mounts on the rear axle, I think this is something I could actually do at my house. Granted, it'd be easier to do at your place, Ed.

Phase III starts!

 

[xjtrailrider]

I stayed SUA on mine, I have heard of really bad axle wrap issues with a SOA on the MJ

 

[bigalpha]

Yeah I won't be lifting this anytime soon unfortunately. When I do get around to lifting it in the future it will be a mild lift with a 4WD conversion.

At this point I still have some things to wrap up to get it running in perfect condition. Getting the oil leaks stopped and the numerous other things Glenn did done was a huge first step. Now I will be able to drive it during the summer and not have to even think about it or carry extra water!
