Thought same way so switched it out for my spare and still have issue.

 

It's taken a couple of full days to prep the Hello Kitty ZJ and Blue Steel WJ for winter duty. (The Peep XJ is in dry dock waiting a longer attention span.)
Both 02WJ and 95ZJ have received full top and underside power washing, shocks all round, front and rear diff fluid changed, oil and filters (use an 8A type filter for about 300ml increased capacity), T Case fluid, and transmission gaskets, filters and fluid change. All grease fittings lubricated and joints checked for condition (all joints good to go with many having been serviced earlier in the year).
Finished up with an interior wash, vacuum, windows, and air fresheners.
Ta da, everyone else has a jeep ready to go. Hey wait what about time the the PeepXJ?
No time for that dad, you have to get the turkey in the oven.
Ok, so in the interest of food safety I power washed the turkey in scalding hot water and a thorough scrubbing with a mix of lysol, bleach, laundry detergent, and a water mix wax for that attractive shine. To keep the bird from drying out a good brushing with WD40 then straight into the oven for 6 hours at 1325 degrees.
Happy Thanksgiving to all, and if your hungry, dinner is served at 4:00!

 

MUCH easier to fix regulators in WJs than XJs.... I had to do the same with my wife's former WJ.... couldn't believe how relatively easy it was.

WOW!!!! Looks great!

That is a pretty cool looking tag. I've still got my original MD tags from when I lived up there for a short stint. I only lived there for about a year so they look brand new.

Best guy to deal with, I'll tell ya!



YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!! BADASSERY!

 

Sounds about right, LOL

 

Drove it for the last time this year.. it's going down for some new suspension mods and one ton axels and a stroker rebuild now that it's off dd duties it's getting a 3 link up front and 4 link in the rear with 8inch lift on 40s and an atlas tc twin stick. Hopefully it will be done by spring time for a trip to mohab for the jeep safari

 

Well that escalated quickly! Damn you already have any parts?

 

I have the one tons out of my buddies Super duty and the stroker parts already everything else I'll have by Christmas

 

Got the title to the MJ under my name and then registered it to my name. Now I can legally drive it.

 

I wish I could find me a solid mj to build it love them

 

I have a very happy and understanding wife that let's me do what I want as long as she has control of my business lol

 

Good news! I was able to score both backing plates, calipers and studs for my KJ disk brake conversion. Only cost me $40. I have to buy new brake hoses, pads, rotors, and parking brake hardware but I can get a discount on all of that through my work. Now I need to learn how to remove my axle shafts since I have a full case locker.

 

Great score

 

w00t!

What axle do you have? If it's a c-clip axle, there should still be a window for the c-clips. Just grab yourself a magnet and rotate the carrier downward at an angle so you have the magnet and gravity to help you. If it's a semi-float axle (dana 44, 8.8 w/ c-clip elim.) the carrier makes no difference, the axle flange is what holds it in.

Here's the window:

 

Harbor Freight - they have a couple of different size hydraulic pullers, the 12-ton is their largest/heaviest model. It's a bit awkward to set up but does the job.

That's the Harbor Freight motto.
