Weekend is over...what did you get done?

[Lowrange2]

Welp, I got the truck.

The good:

It runs good. Idle fluctuates up and down and it seems to have a small skip at the lower idle but it seems strong.

It's only leaking "clutch" fluid, not oil.

It has 4 matching BFG tires in good shape...

The only rust is in the drivers side floor about the size of a paper plate. NO WHERE else that I've seen so far.

Tail lights are good.

The hood opens!

I have an MJ!


The bad:

The bed isn't as straight in person as it appeared in pictures.

The doors aren't straight either.

Neither are the fenders or hood. lol

Basically, to look "nice", it needs 2 fenders, a hood, 2 doors and a bed...
I'll worry about all this stuff later. Getting it running smooth, get the clutch fixed and the door hung straight.

Ta DA!

woot! either way, a little pickup truck is a VERY handy thing to have around. i'd just about trade my left nut for another decent mj. mine was an 87, 4x4 with a 4.0, and that awesome peugot 5spd. i never really go to wheel it, but it paid for itself very quickly.

I'm try to get the slave in it this weekend... maybe.

[Lowrange2]

[loki_racer]

I have 10 ft of wire. Where should I install this?

 

[Lowrange2]

Next to the largest rat trap so you can hook the juice to it!

I have mine mounted under the back seat.

Truer words have never been spoken.

You weren't worried about water damage with it mounted that low?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

id put it in the that space on the side of the wheel wheel.. a lil higher than the underseat..
but thats just me.. some where.. where i can actually use it..

 

[userbmx1315]

It's mounted to the BOTTOM of the seat. Not to the floor. Plus I don't cross rivers in this one.


When I use it I lift the seat, run the cords thru a nifty hole I made, plug them in and lower the seat.

 

[UNCC_99XJ]

Water damage? Rolling over??? You mean people actually wheel these things?

Huh...how about that.


:laugh2:

 

[jeepgeek2002]

if stump rolls over he ll get smacked with everything and the kitchen sink ....

I found a Beeeed. A very straight bed.

I see a nice MJ and a MJ trailer in my near future.

I decided to drive the XJ today, first time since Hale Mtn back in November. That is pretty sad. I worried that some roads would be pretty rough but they weren't too bad at all.

It drove really well but I need to do a few things to her. Maybe I'll get a chance to work on it a little this weekend.

 

[Lowrange2]

Bad Roads? You have snow?
