Did the codes go away?

 

[JeepAddict85]

no, im bringing it up to matt, he has better scanning/data logging tools. will try to get a few other things knocked out on my jeep as well.

 

[JeepAddict85]

jeep is fixed...bad pre-cat 02 sensor and a blown fuse = lots of strange engine codes.

 

[JeepAddict85]

started on dash 2.0, and xj re-wire 2.0 ha

also took off 1 of the rear doors...will get the other one tomorrow:

 

[JeepAddict85]

finished removing extra wires, and rewrapped them

some paint and the dash panel bolted in for a test fit:

already picked up a set of aftermarket gauges, will be working on installing them over this week.

Looking good Greg!

Looking good Greg!

thanks buddy

didnt take any pics of it, but i sanded down and repainted the interior cage, so its all nice and shiny again. also, the wiring that used to run down the drivers side (at the bottom of the doors), now runs up the middle on the side of the trans tunnel.

gotta return my gauges today, and get a different set, didnt get the right ones.

drove through the crazy thunderstorms last night and picked up some axles. 8 lug 14 bolt FF w/ 4.56 gears, 8 lug dana 44 w/ 4.56 gears. going to be running 37's for now, so i can still go to the Jeep Jamboree in july (they have a tire size limit).

Skip jamboree, save lots of money, buy my tires. I solved all your problems!!

Yay axles, your jeep is growing up!

 

[JeepAddict85]

Jamboree is so much fun, and its only part of the vacation ill be taking in july.

 

[tnxj00]

ok ok

 

[JeepAddict85]

Here's the axles...

 

[DirtBound]

axle is in with 4.56 gears and aussie:

I ended up having to go get new bolts for the hd diff cover...since the ring around the edge is 3/4 inch thick steel!

everything is back together, off for a test drive

stock steering??? how much lift are you running on this thing?!

yes...stock steering...cuz i was still building it up. i upgraded that later. if you read the posts you'd see i have 4.5" coils/leaves from RE.

make the A/C compressor into an air compressor... easy: lots of write ups on it

thought about it but decided to go with electric compressor. will be making a delete bracket or modifying one to fit.

lots of parts on order, just waiting for them to arrive...and hopefully some warmer weather.

Electric? Now your going to load the alternator and cause it to drag on the engine more than the A/C compressor would.

 

[JeepAddict85]

only while filling the tires...and its transferrable to my next vehicle

so you going to put a d300 in?

 

[JeepAddict85]

so you going to put a d300 in?

yep, ive had one for awhile now. if you look at the axle pics you'll see the 44 is passenger side drop, so the 300 works out great for that.
